A California native transplanted in southern Illinois.My mom is having surgery today. It is not a particularly risky surgery, but my mom is 80. Please think positive thoughts for her, pray for her, or release other positive energy in accordance with your belief system. Thank you. 
I will go and visit her tonight in the hospital. If all goes well, she will be released tomorrow. I will spend the night with her Thursday, and will most likely take Friday off from work. She is so stubborn, insisting she will not need any help. However, I think she will be exhausted and not up to doing things for herself.
In chippy news, I received $3 from PineCone for my very first survey, and have already sent it off to E Fund. I have not yet been paid for my July hours from my part-time job. Meanwhile, I worked 9 hours in August. The bookkeeper said she will pay me for both July and August next month. How do you like that?

Re the part-time job, yes, it is frustrating. I was very clear upfront that I expect to be paid promptly each month. I am not an employee, so billing them for my hours. How it has been working is I send an invoice for one month's hours, and then when I go the next month, there is a check waiting for me. This month, there was no check. When I go in September, if there is not a check waiting for me, I will leave. They are having cash flow problems and I understand that, but I am not working for free.
