i'm reading a lots of book recently afte rpassing up a working drawings for a certain subject, at least, this is a treat to myself after a week of hellish hardworks
Heh! She might get off on that! Almost didn't get off the phone with her...she's telling me what I realize when she said wrong number, 'you left a message a couple days ago (it was the day before). We're wondering why you were calling!' I might have known when I made the first call but the message was the generic message that comes with the machine. Haven't heard from the original caller yet. Will try today, during the day if I happen to remember, maybe during coffee break or lunch.
Need to generate an estimate for a window job I looked at on Sunday but I noticed the customer, who I asked to write his information, name, address, and e-mail (they have one), wrote his e-mail in such a way that a letter or number could be interpreted a number of ways. Same thing with one of the glass customers from yesterday. Last name ends with a "z"...but when he wrote the information in my notebook it looked like an "e". A week or two ago, when I asked a potential customer to provide information she took an address label from a sheet of them and pasted that in my notebook. Maybe I should start asking for one...that would end the confusion.
I also was polled yesterday...computer-generated recording of a human voice asking me to press one or two. The computer sounded exuberant when I had completed the tasks it assigned to me. Happy to oblige...ummm, Hal? Hal? Talk to me...
cue the song.I'm listening to Jens Gad and thinking about finishing that story I've been writing for a few weeks now. I had so much fun writing it and the end is so close I can almost pin the words down. Wish me luck. 
Holly n' Nottie, I ride the bi-polar train, it goes uup it goes down, then around and through the mountains .... I don't even have work full-time right now and just one class at school currently .... E flat plays in a very lonely echo chamber down here sometimes ... so I know about the un-fun moods and 'the stupids' .....
Good luck with your story!I'm listening to Jens Gad and thinking about finishing that story I've been writing for a few weeks now. I had so much fun writing it and the end is so close I can almost pin the words down. Wish me luck.
That's one handsome devil! and the bird isn't too bad either!
Awww, thank you Neesy. I can't wait to show Charlie your comment. He'll be so jealous.
Right, I have the day off!
I stocked up on dark chocolate and my sole ambition today is to finish The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. Woo hoo!

Did you try getting back into bed and getting out the OTHER side? Not sure if it works, but it is worth a try
Great news GNT! With his background I know he will do well. He is a fine young man. Stay safe (both of you).
Yup, way to much to say today, just one more comment. Anne arrived safely. Lots of tears at the airport before
she left but sat her down for awhile and we talked. Told her not to worry I would be just fine. She did get on
that plane with dry eyes. It was great to have her here now I have to get groceries, do more baking and 2 loads
of towels to launder. One thing at a time. She read your comments before she left and was so happy to hear
from you. Thanks for writing (GNT I think she wants to adopt you).

Some of the steel roofing did not come in, as I thought yesterday, when Linda at the lumberyard told me my metal was in. Head out this morning with a list, go through the process at the yard, get my loading ticket, step outside, grab fourteen sixteen foot 1x3 for furring, ten pieces of C-edge...leave the slip by a yard worker who is trying to figure out a strap to bind a stack of plywood. They start looking for the metal...find the accessory pieces and I put that on the truck, turn around, guy has a tarp-covered pile of metal on the forklift and he has it raised up a couple feet above the ground. He's looking at the slip attached, comes up with a puzzled look, we peel back a corner of the tarp...burnished slate. Not black...that's not mine. We look, we look again, guy comes out from inside, he looks at the same piles of metal. Never made it off the delivery truck.
Go to Plan B. Bring what I had on the truck to one job, explain to the customer what's going on...head home, drop a ladder, grad a taller ladder, head to Houghton, measure another roof for metal. Tim stops in his Coke truck, we talk, he wants a bathroom do-over. I head home and the cell rings...another customer calling, down in Negaunee, be back at three, we'll meet at three, patio door this one. I get home, drop the taller ladder and get an even taller ladder, some other odds and ends, go to the Heights and take care of one small job, do another while the ladder is up...head home...in between I ordered the metal for the one I measured today. On the way home I stop and replace a 5/4 deck board for a neighbor up the street. Tess, her Germa shepherd is in side, giving me what for. Heh! Dogs are funny. They have this I am a fierce dog bark. If I could get through this screen I'd bite your arse! This once, I was doing some inside work for Suzanne...we're talking, I turn to go to the truck, Tess has her snout where I'd prefer it wouldn't be. Suzanne laughs..oh, don't mind her! She's just a puppy! Yeeeeek! A puppy with an incredible large mouth! and sharp teeth!
The customer in the Heights paid me though...owed me some (lots) and it'd been a month and a half. So all is well and all manner of things are just peachy.

I was going to say the same. I don't understand everything Walter is talking about, but I get tired just reading it! This is in reply to what Spidey said to Walter.
First day of new job (thankfully, a half day--I need to ease back in!), learner goal meeting with son's teacher, pick up daughter at college & drop her at work, dinner, PTA meeting, reading & bed time, now a few minutes of peace before I pick up daughter at work and come home to drop like a rock--lol
Same here! Important paperwork missing!!! Naomi! where is it? It was right there? Did you throw it away? I'll find it and give it to her but she loses again, inevitably.Worked. On the train home. I now have to deal with SwiftMama drama. Seems some important paperwork has been misplaced. I swear my Mom would lose her head if it wasn't attached to her body. Gotta go over there and see if I can help her find it. Not how I want to spend the evening
Alex learned to escape from his crib while I'm working. Usually, he goes to bed at eight but now he's up and having a full tantrum because he wants to sleep with mommy. Work is okay for now but I need the time to work out something that pays more. Actually, I could that with Eduwizards.
As soon as he's done with his tantrum I'm going to go to sleep because I am filling in for somebody at work tomorrow morning at nine my time. Have a great morning everybody
