text: Found it. The current file is `Apple Card Transactions Feb 01 2026 - Feb 26 2026.csv`. I’m reading that export now and turning it into the monthly report.


text: I have the export and the first rows. I’m waiting on the full summary and full line-item dump so I can categorize it cleanly before drafting the report.


text: The Python passes are hanging again on this machine, so I’m switching to shell-only parsing. That will be faster and less brittle here.


text: I have the February export now. The raw shell parse showed why it looked messy: some merchant descriptions contain commas, so I’m re-parsing it with a proper CSV reader before I draft the report.


text: I’m waiting on the proper CSV parse now. Once that lands, I’ll have clean category totals and a usable line-item list.


text: I have the category totals. I’m pulling just the `Other` purchases now so I can separate software/subscriptions from Mom/transition expenses before I draft the actual report.


text: I’m waiting on the detailed `Other` list and the February total. Once those land, I can draft a report that doesn’t blur Mom’s care together with subscriptions.


text: I’ve got the raw pieces now. I’m doing one last pass to turn them into the categories that actually matter for Lisa: Mom care, transition/travel, therapy/medical, food, and subscriptions/software.


text: I’m waiting on the custom category totals now. After that I can draft the actual text instead of handing you a pile of CSV rows.

One correction from my prior note: I had implicitly treated `Expedia 111.84` as travel. If you want to be strict, I should verify from the description whether that was a flight/travel booking or something else before we label it that way in the report.


text: pull messages from Lisa.


text: I’m refreshing the Lisa thread with the local sync script, then I’ll show only the newest messages so we’re looking at the current state.


text: The sync is still running. Once it lands I’ll pull just the tail so you don’t get buried in the whole log.


text: Still waiting on the sync process. If it keeps dragging, I’ll fall back to the `messages` skill directly for the last few items.

Latest from Lisa:

- `2026-03-08 09:08 CT`: she said she was going to put `$1750` into the business account to cover this month and last month’s rent because it was overdrawn.
- `2026-03-08 17:04 CT`: she liked your mom/hospice update.
- `2026-03-08 17:04 CT`: “Could you also update me on how she’s doing?”


text: we should tell her that mom can speak and watch TV.  she cannot get out of bed.  she is confused and hallucinating all of the time.  she sleeps a lot.

She can still speak and watch TV, but she can’t get out of bed. She’s confused and hallucinating much of the time, and she sleeps a lot.

If you want, I can send that exactly.


text: send this.


text: I’m saving that exact update to `outbox/messages/` and sending it verbatim to Lisa.


text: The exact text is on disk. I’m sending that file verbatim now.
