Back to the old grind. I guess the fat broad is taking the route but I should know by Friday. I guess everything went okay except she ended up with a bundle of blank papers. Someone turned the scale head around and left the light on. The driver was back looking for containers and grabbed a handful of candy. What a fucking mooch. I need to get a motel at Grants Pass. I went over my accounts and should be okay if I don't' go too hog wild. I am not sure how busy things will be today. There is not much else to go right away unless something new is dropped. There's always my man, Tevin. What a cutie! Full of the very old Nick too.

I think I will hold off on calling Michael. I am not sure what all is going on there. Maybe I will get a feel for it as time goes on. I am sure he is right in taking one day at a time and not doing too much planning.

Michael called me this morning with a sore throat and no medicine. He said that it was about time for him to move because his relatives were putting pressure on him to help them pay some of the expenses. I think it is about time he does something besides loaf as well. I sent the other $100.00 and I dare say it will be gone before Friday. He said he was going to get a hold of his PO and give him the address in Portland. He called and left a message but no call-back so far. He says he is all excited about the Friday visit. He said he was not allowed on the computer anymore but he logged in MySpace today. He did not call so I called him and he was at football practice for his nephew. He said his cold was better. He got some NyQuil. He asked about the Topaz and talked like they could put the window in Portland. I think he is planning to make trips back and forth to Grants Pass and it wont take much of that. It is mainly a run-around-town car. I want to see what develops in Portland before I turn it loose. He asked what we were going to do in Portland and I suggested the zoo and he said he had never been there. So that might work - Mikey has so he can show him. I am really kind of disappointed that he has not done more to get things going for himself.

I had a go-round with the driver over calling me Patricia. I told him people had had their ass kicked for remarks like that. He knew I was pissed and he apologized but it was still disrespectful and I do not like being treated that way. He tried to explain some more and I shut him down. There was another flub-up on the GFE contract last Thursday. Man, I hope I can get by a day without scewing up. I got a motel for Friday night in Grants Pass for around $70/night. Ellen called and was checking on my health that is good that someone thought enough to give me a call. I think Nancy went by today but I am sure that Harley would vote against a visit. They seemed to think that it was the altitude but I did not notice that at all. Mainly it was that fucking gut ache - and Paul did not help hitting that hernia bulge but I would never tell him.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment was actually hearing from Ellen. That was nice and thoughtful of her to call.
