It is clear cold day that may turn ugly this afternoon. I need to take the trash out. It is hard to say about work. There does not seem to be much going on. I did some stretching but I need to get serious about it again. So far nothing from TCH. Larue waded in so that may change some people around. I am not sure whether I will make an effort to email Michael’s mom. I may just let it simmer. I imagine she is pretty well tied up with those kids.

           There was not much going on today. I did not hear back from TCH so I don’t know whether I am getting my money back or not. I got a big shock from the renter. The dishwasher went tits up and he got one for $300 and now I have to take it off the rent. Damn! I need every penny of that fucking rent. So I am taking $150. off for two months. I have not heard from Michael’s mom so I will probably try to send something off just to touch base. She has probably been pretty busy with those kids around all the time. It looks like they are going to take the day after Christmas off as well so I will just collect some vacation pay for that. It is going to be interesting to see if we get anything extra for Christmas from Western Alfalfa.

I got a video on Iraq call Iraq In Fragments. It is hardly my kind of movie. There is no translation so it is all in Arabic language. So about the only way to keep track is by watching expressions and a lot of guessing. It is really pretty poor.
