I am still working on whether I should check the mail and make sure Joel's article is in the mail. Cuddy had his mailed on Tuesday and it got here yesterday. I will try to keep things at a minimum as far as expenses are concerned. I need to get things under congtrol in the next couple of months. The big thing is getting the car back to Hermiston. A real worry. I will just have to break down and call Robert I guess. I have a doctor's appoint ment on Thursday and I may see if I can go to a ear specialist. I am having a lot of trouble hearing. I hope I have internet tonight but I don't think I do.

I got an email from Michael's mom that she was looking for some art work that Michael wanted as a tattoo. I don't think I have seen it. She was concerned about tomorrow I suppose. She called Michael her angel baby. Also she loves Katie but do not trust her when it comes to money. Need not worry about that. I sort or skirted the fact that Michael's main frustration was his relationship with Mikey. One day he was in charge and the next he wasn't.  I guess i will go back and check the PO for the deal from Joel. I will have to read it to make sure I want to go through with it.

I went back to Hermiston and the Stobbe letter was there and I was glad I went after it. I stopped and got some food at Gotta Stop and headed out. It was a pretty uneventful trip. I got the Motel room and changed pants and went over to Annie’s. Mikey was not there and they were surprised I was so early. We chatted and finally Katie and Mikey showed up. I gave Mikey the shirts and I think it made him cry and I regretted doing it. They all thought they were good pictures though. They have the ashes and they have the cell phone and the chargers. Katie wanted to erase some of the private messages and I really don’t want to know anyway. I guess I am looking for reason to break this whole thing off as soon as the car is retrieved. I think I will try and get it next weekend before the bad weather starts. It is not the same without Michael. I thought maybe I could make something of dealing with Mikey – but I am having some second thoughts and not sure I want to put out the effort. I would probably be good for him but I sure am not prepared to kiss Katie’s ass to have a relationship with him.
