This is hump day. Still the financial problems do not seem to go away. I need to win Powerball tonight and that would solve a lot of problems. It would probably make a lot more but I would try to handle them. The weather looks like about the same. The weekend looks good for the trip to Portland. There are a couple of letters I need to get out – there are the new boys in the inmate pool. I need to get some gas tonight. I really should try to solve that cell phone drain as well as signup for the deal that would allow me to drop the EO Telecom telephone expenses. I need to get a card for Mikey this weekend. I think this Cushman thing probably needs to be cooled down some. I wished this Christmas trip would go away but I am pretty much committed.
I was pretty busy all day long. There were hay trucks from both farms and a couple of container contracts to work on. I changed the phone plan to 700 minutes a month. I think I can stay under that amount. The other phone is not is use so I don’t have that payment and everything else stays about the same. I was working on the change to Sprint broadband but I am still a little in the dark about the exact cost for the equipment plus the monthly cost. I could shut down the landline and that would save some. I could switch out of EO Telecom and if I could cut that cost it would be worth it. Especially if I could get into a one year contract.
I talked to Mikey and he was very excited about his shopping trip. It sounded like he was getting presents for himself. He was saying he got a remote control car and motorcycle and some clothes. I thought it was for someone else but I guess I was wrong. I will have to ask more about that on Saturday. I reminded him I was coming and he seemed okay with it. A little excited I guess. I was sort of shocked when Michael’s Mom said they had me on a pedestal. That is not particularly good. I am going to stop writing about my grief. I don’t intend to say anything more to her about it. I just don’t have a good grip on that Homeboys thing. I guess that must be the West Side Gang or something. Michael never went into detail with me about that situation. I am not sure why. Maybe they meant more to him than he let on. I got the money out to Cuddie and letters to Burks and Nolan. I got a letter from Schimmele. So maybe I will answer that tomorrow. I had to get some gas tonight and I may go to TriCities tomorrow night and check on the Sprint thing and get a Fred Meyer card for Mikey. |
