I know he loves me

I don't often hate my mother for drinking while pregnant, and when I do it's fleeting.

Yesterday:
Ron - "You have the money, right?" 
Me - "What?" 
Ron - "I don't have the money, so you do, right?" 
Me - [censored]
Ron - [Censored]

Today, praise God, I found it.  It could have gotten ugly very fast. 

Ron, to his credit, was completely awesome.  He was clearly stressed but he didn't yell at me.  I was highly impressed with him, more so when we could both relax with the money in his hand.  I made a point to let him know I appreciated it, and I'd seen a huge change from the old Ron.

Ugh.  Yeah, that is the world of brain damage. 

Yes, I know "I did that too... I always lose my keys, and I'm fine... " but this is severe and ongoing.  Nothing terrifies me like an important piece of paper. 

I am sleeping OK but wake up feeling dreadful.  A shower helps, I'm rubbing some eucalyptus oil on my chest and throat (diluted in grapeseed oil) every morning, cough drops, tons of teas,

I have to work: I don't have the luxury of sick leave or someone to cover my work.   We went in today (mainly to find the money, but we had some stocking).  We stocked everything and I took out the dumpster.  Ron cleaned the coffee machine, a horrible and thankless job.  I was glad I was sick and got out of that. 

I also know Ron loves me a great deal to do that himself.   I reminded him this is the last time he'd have to do it for at least a year.  He was thrilled. 

Our new location does not have a water line.  No water - no coffee.  We are giving the machine to the other vendor (well, the state is because we only own the inventory).  The other vendor bartered for the coffee inventory.  Everyone wins. 

We get out of servicing a complicated beast for a year.  Yay. 

Speaking of beasts, the bottled soda vendor is apparently taking change now.  Huh.  It has been pretty naughty in that regard, stealing coins and jamming. 

Thank you Jesus for that gift. 

I noticed they *are* cleaning out our new area, so the move is on for Thursday and Friday.  It will be interesting. 

I just hope I'm feeling a little better.  This cold is miserable.
