I am supposed to go out to Ellen's between eight and nine for breakfast and the opening of gifts. I will be leaving soon after for the trip home. I need to finish the washings and get ready for work tomorrow. I need to pay off the substitute and start getting ready for the trip next weekend. I need to get some gas and see if I can talk to Michael. I probably should line up another $100.oo because I am sure he is going to need another transfusion before the end of the week.

I went out to Ellens at about eight thirty and stayed until eleven thirty when they had finished opening their presents and the celebration was pretty much over. I guess I hurt Harley's feelings when he was gigging me about leaving early and I told him I was not feeling up to par. He sort of pressed it and I walked away and he looked like his feelings had been hurt. I was sort of snappy with everyone. I was glad to be headed home. I was tired and out of sorts.

I called Michael when I got to La Grande. He said that he had not received my message yesterday. He said he was walking around. I asked him if he needed a transfusion and he said he was just taking one day at a time and that he was all right. I checked out his MySpace and he has several pictures of Kate and Mikey that are new and he is calling her his wife and saying that he is in love. I hope it is not an entanglement and it does work out for him. I am not sure where I fit in the realm of Michael's affections at this point in time. I guess it boils down to the fact I may be three or lower. I would not want to interefere in anyone's relationships - it's just some day I hope I have one.

Nolan called and was checking if I had been able to find that McMurray and that he had been looking at Auto Traders and was surprised at how much Toyotas cost. I guess that is true.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment was the renter brining over a huge dish of steamed lobster clams, shrimp, corn and potatoes. It was mighty tasty and I could not near eat all of it. I froze the rest and will heat it up tomorrow or later
