Arrow root

I had of course known arrow root was doing some good for my UC. Either I did not realize just how much or had kind of forgotten. 

Ran out a couple weeks ago. Went to buy more and turned out all the stores near me no longer sell it. So I ordered some in bulk from Amazon. Got 10 lbs. That should last for a while!

Since I got it a couple days ago, I have basically doubled my dose. It really does help more than I expected! Think I'll stay at this dose and see how it works over time.

I am counting down the days until I leave my job. It seems to get worse every day. Right now, 22 days. 16 working days. 

Got word back from the corporate office that they do not pay out unused PTO on termination. That being the policy is okay. That being legal is okay. The fact that the employee handbook saying otherwise and no policy that says the real policy being posted or available is not okay and not legal. So I wrote to three elected state officials. If it benefits nothing else, should they try and fire me before 3/28/17, it provides a documented timeline to show my termination was retaliation. What that would do is give me grounds to get unemployment approved. From there, they would have to give me the bonus I would otherwise be entitled to.

Though it does not look like that will happen in current circumstances. They're too short of staff and everyone is burned out on working extra hours to cover the shifts. At least one manager is having to work the floor almost every day. They don't want to pay for agency nurses. I was told they hired two more nurses, one to replace me, whom I will train. I don't think the new nurses have even started orientation yet. So those nurses will not be able to take shifts until they are trained and oriented. Meaning at least 2 weeks, maybe more. 

I see more signs of financial distress every day, also. They are cutting back on supplies in stock. We're having big problems getting saline flushes for IVs and colostomy bags! Some of these supplies are indispensable! 

I need to get my ass in gear and get more done around the house. Maybe after this weekend. Going to make huge advances this weekend and that will give me more organization so things I can do during the week before or after work will be easier. Then, after the job ends, I think it will take a very short time to finish the house and increase the value. 

On savings, I have 84% of the amount I wanted to have for the move. At the moment. Still have to pay bills this month. That amount is reduced by about $100 with the cancellation of the gym and satellite. Three more paychecks, which cover more than the bills easily. Then my bonus. So I will definitely overshoot my goal. How much expenses will be until the house sells depends on how quickly the house sells, of course. Somehow I think it will sell quickly. I'm still hoping to walk away with a profit. 

Daughter is acting strange. Can't get her to call me back. She's emailed me a couple of times but that's all. I am afraid of her becoming too antisocial. I am a recluse but not as much as she is. Hmm. Though, come to think of it, I may have been just as bad at her age.
