We got it!

We were approved for double the grant money, plus a subsidized loan! I won't say how much either of them are (like on tv, where they never say prices, they just write it on a slip of paper and slide it across the desk to the car salesman), but it should be enough to get us through until Jason graduates, and then some!

May I just say YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

So today I took everybody in the world's advice and went for a long walk around campus (and I do mean around--I would go into a building, up the stairs, back the same way, then on to the next building), and I guess we'll see if it does anything. Mostly, I just wore myself the heck out. My feet, ankles, calves, and lower stomach muscles are all really unhappy. I was reading Jennie's comment on my last entry, and I was just starting to say in my head, HA! I did the exact same thing she did, same place even, and it didn't wor--oh. Next day. Okay, maybe there's still hope. At the very least, though, the exercise couldn't have hurt. I've lost most if not all muscle tone I had a few months ago. But it would be very nice if it did coax my little guy outta there.

And just so you all know, in addition to the long walk, I have also tried spicy food multiple times, as well as the other method recommended, and no dice. My latest strategy is pure distraction--hence, Dr. Mario.
