I forever curse whoever invented wallpaper. Curse you!

Can you tell I spent the entire morning wallpaper stripping? It comes off easily enough, but it's the stupid paste that stays on the wall and I have to scrub and scrub and scrub to get all that crap off. It's so tedious and time consuming. Not to mention messy.

Anyway, I still have one wall to do. I worked from 9-12:30, so I figured it was time to call it a day. It's nice outside and some fresh air would do me good, especially after inhaling DIF fumes all morning.

I still have a messy drop cloth on the floor, but I'm trying to reuse it. I threw most of the wallpaper away that was on it, but I can't get all the little bits and pieces. I also got wallpaper all over my clothes and my shoes, and now there are bits of it embedded in the carpet all over the house. So once I'm done tomorrow, a thorough vacuuming is also in order.

I think after I'm done eating, some laundry might be in order. My Old Navy yoga pants are crusted with wallpaper paste, dried DIF, and little bits of paper.

Lance and I are invited to a wedding in Minnesota in August. It was supposed to be in July of next year, but it was moved forward a year. Lance was asked to be one of the groomsmen, so he pretty much has to be there. But it depends on the cost of airfare whether I go or not. Already, it's $300 round trip, and since I am still in my perpetual state of joblessness, it's an unnecessary expense. I know Lance will go no matter what...the groom is one of his oldest friends. But I talked to M this morning and he told me that he would understand if we couldn't make it, especially seeing as how he didn't come to our wedding. But Lance is planning on a summer visit home anyway...it was going to be around July 4th, but he'll move it back a month.

At least if I go, I already have a dress to wear. But there is just so much that is unknown right now, that I can't commit to anything.

In Tricare news, the insurance issue is fixed. Turns out the claim was filed under my social security number and not Lance's, so once that was established, Tricare said they would pay for everything and we have nothing to worry about. Whew. I'm so glad I don't have to shell out $400 for a routine gyno exam. I will definitely be calling Tricare before I get a mammogram this year, however.
