I had a real hard time sleeping. All I could think about was Mike and what I should have said or done and sort of rehashed the day over and over. Why do I do that. I still need to get some money to him as soon as possible. I'll work on that today. There was a container early - no paper work. And now I have a load of blue grass. Carla called and said she could not do the paper on the 25th and 26th so I may have to work on an alternative. I need to pay some bills today. What happens when Mike calls today?

Mike called about nine forty five. He was at the PO's office and he had figured out the number on the back of his card and he had activated it. He gave me his social  security number and an email address. He said he would call me back later. He called again at about eleven thirty. He thought I had called him. I still had hopes of getting the money to him . I spent a lot of time on it and finally was able to get it started with a tranfers through PayPal. I made two $500.00 payments which meant I had to write a check to cover it at Community Bank. The transfer takes a couple of days and then a matter of thirty minutes. But I can only transfer $500.00 a month unless I can find one of those reload kits for SpendNet. It has been a real headache. The after work disaster was I lost the check and had to go back to the scalehouse and get it.

There was a container on the scales and no paper work. I made some up and ended up unloading the container and this afternoon we had some new containers and no  paper work. A couple of loads of blue grass came in and some pellets went out. Tom came up and wasted some time - contradicted me in front of a customer. I had to laugh it off.

I was able to pay some bills and get a letter off to Nolan. I sort of told him the story of Mike so that he knows a little bit about it and is not in for some sort of shock. Ellen was supposed to be here around seven. They had not left Medical Springs by five-thirty. Shelby called at eight thirty they were stopping to eat and would stop at the trailer. I told them I would be in bed. So we have set up a breakfast meeting for seven but I am not holding my breath. It does piss me off since I did have a ticket for the ball game tonight.

I sent Mike an email through his sister with the pictures I took. I hope they send me some that his Mom took. I watched the David Letterman Show and turned off the set. Of course, the Most Positive Memorable Moment was the call from Mike. He said he had been spending a lot of time with Mikey which is excellent. I hope he sticks around a few weeks. I hope I can go to sleep tonight without stewing more about what did not happen today.
