Yikes, Sarah, I wouldn't ever trust anyone to reimburse me if I spend money on them, I just don't trust people sometimes. I do it with the assumption they won't or they will take a long time to do it, meanwhile you're on limited income so I hope you don't find yourself in a pickle cause it's still early in the month!
Sounds hard for your mom, Chris!
I had to chase down the therapy dog, Piper at work when someone left the door open and she went out of the room
that's not in my job description
