Do you have an answer to what was causing you foot pain? Edema?

I went to hear Barbara Ehrenreich speak this evening. My son was with me, but was so irritated that I wouldn't take him straight home that he refused to go into the lecture. He did homework in the cafeteria. Looks like the last time I can pull that "we're on our way" trick. Power struggles aren't a good habit to get into, so when I want him to go to lectures in the future we'll have to negotiate. But he read her book, so he's still probably ahead. I heard her speak for an hour. It is so depressing, the state of the low-wage worker in America, and how easy it is to end up in that position.

It makes me all the more certain that I must cancel out the last bit of debt that I'm hoping the tax return will tackle, and then to stay out of debt. It's too easy to "borrow" in the form of using charge cards. A major form of de-cluttering, to be sure!
