This is a short week and I hope that the weather sort of dries out. I have to tell Michael’s mom about the development with Mikey. I have been debating about sending Katie a message about how the TriMet tickets are working and mention the fact I would like to take Mikey to Grants Pass on Saturday. I guess we might as well find out how far I can push this thing. I would contribute to his welfare if she would let me have some time with him. I would need to be very careful with requests and exactly what was going on between us. I think about the only thing either one will respond to is the smell of money.

We are supposed to get the turkey dinner today so I need to make some decisions about that. I am not much into the cake that Ellie gave me so I may chuck it. It sounds like it is still raining.

I emailed Michael’s mom with the latest from Mikey. Annie had written that she had to go to Texas because her mother died and Katie and Mikey had to take care of the animals and house. Michael's mom thought that they always put themselves ahead of what was sometimes best for Mikey. I guess he is just acting like he loves his mother, which is okay.

Nolan called and is all set to get out of prison and feels like he has the world by the tail with all the money he has saved. He is apt to blow that in no time. I tried to warn him but you cannot tell him much.

I called Mikey and he was at his uncle’s house and was trying to get people quiet. He did not say much except that Annie may not go to Texas after all. I am going to put some pressure on him tomorrow to make that trip to GP. He has not gone to school for a couple of days now. I hope that cord comes in tomorrow.
