Hmm, right away I lock horns with Javier. Somehow that man can bring the worst out in me. I keep telling myself to just stay at arm's length but something always triggers my temper with him. Yesterday Tom had told me to bring back a pellet container and when I tell Javier he said that Salvadro wanted another bale. So I called Tom and he is apparently still in bed and mulls through the situation and decides he wants the bale. It just pisses me off that Javier gets the best of me.  I am happiest when he is not at work. I guess a man's character is determined by the size of things that bother him.

Michelle and Rick came by without much of interest. Arnie McClure came for some pellets and opinioned that the reason we were having the greenhouse effect was that the earth was surrounded by an atmosphere that had a hard crust over it. And since we have been blasting rockets through that atmosphere and the crust we had punched holes in it and that was allowing the sun rays to come through without the filter that they once had. Hey, he could be on to something as far as I know.

It turned into a very busy day. I had several hundred tons of hay hauled in and I was up and down all day. I noticed I had 1.84 miles on my pedometer and I started an exercise set and got interrupted and never went back. I did walk the loop after work. It turned into a beautiful sunny day.

Katie and Peyton stopped by about noon and stayed about an hour. We talked about this and that. She is into criminal justice and may go to work part time as a court advocate in Medford county. That should be some good experience. She is a pretty smart person and probably has a good sensitivity for people.

Tom was up and was grousing about food again. He is really having hard time with this diet. He needs to stop obsessing about it. It is just the wrong attitude to be so psyched about it all the time. Somehow he seems to feel that he is starving to death.

I got a letter from Michael and he is being moved upstairs Monday and that is a good deal because I was afraid that he was nearing the breaking point. He got my birthday card but I don't think he had gotten the other letter yet. I guess he has not received some of his property until his sixty days is up. But at least he should be able to read and draw without going nuts. I think the sleep deprivation was the worst thing. I did not hear from Joel so I am still trying to make up my mind whether I want to make that drive when he has not taken the time to write to me. But who knows he may need the support now more than later. I have no idea whether his folks have come by to see him. I need to sleep on it. I was able to get a lot done on my income tax returns. It is about ready to print and send off. I was sort of falling into that frump of being over my head in debt. I am sure that it is going to be all right in the end. I guess what ever happens is going to happen.

Memorable Positive Moment of the Day was the visit with Katie. We had some good laughs and she does a good job of making me feel good.
