What's on your agenda for today?

You got it Pappy! Personally, I bleed green and gold. Packers play Da Bears this afternoon at Chicago.
 

Well just taking a break from listening to a book on CD, 17 disk for this one and I'm about to start disc 7 in a little bit. Doubt I'll finish it today, but, so far it's been quite interesting about an immigrant Chinese family. "A Free Life" by, Ah Jin. Very eye opening. Anyway, will be getting back to it after a bite to eat and stretching my body out a bit. Maybe shake it off to a little pop tune ;). I had thought about going to the beach and taking one of my other books that I have in print form with me, but, an overcast came out and clouds keep popping in and out, so I'm just going to stay in another day. There will be other days that will afford me an opportunity to sit on the sand and smell feel the ocean breeze.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday.
 
HORRIBLE weekend. Hit a deer... Screwed up my brand new car, which is now about 150 miles from here in Joe Blows Body shop. Had to drive to the Quad Cities for a rental. BUT.. I'm home now.. and trying to relax. Maybe vodka will help?
 

Oh, heck, QS, have three.

And you didn't hit a deer. Remember that. Nobody points their car at a deer and hits it. A deer hit YOU. Darned deer.
 
Been off the forum for a couple days, helping a neighbor move. Today I plan to get my car serviced in preparation for a 1000 mile each way trip the second week in October. Other than that, will do what the situation moves me to do.
 
Glad only the car and the deer were hurt, QS.

Pappy, *my* Packers throttled Da Bears. Woohoo.

My dog's people came home last night because all it did at the beach was rain and rain some more. They still paid me for the whole weekend to compensate for my having made their four-day weekend my plan. I already miss *my* dog.

Off to work with me. No days off this week. That is, no days off this week if nobody else cancels/reschedules/postpones or otherwise calls upon my willingness to be flexible. If the Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise, as we used to say in Texas, there won't be any more changes for a while. My flexibility is worn out!

Hope everybody has a great Monday. Carry on.
 
I ran over a squarrel this morning,why cant those creatures figure out which way to go instead of stopping in the middle of the street to figure it out. And thats not the first squarrel I hit over the years,if they think Im going to turn the wheel to avoid them then they got another think coming.
 
Wife went back to work today. So, it's laundry day, changing bed linens and running/unloading dishwasher. The week off was nice, but the weather could have been better.........rainy. Did pick great days to go to zoo and on Casino Ship. Had breakfast out a few times, which was a nice change from my weekly AM Shredded Wheat cereal. Next year, she won't schedule a week off in Sept, which happens to be the wettest month of the year here.
 
Have court today for foster girl. I don`t always go to these-not required to-but she ran away on Friday so I figured I better show up to see what they want to do. We are pretty close to knowing where she is-just need a street address. She didn`t leave out of unhappiness with us,according to the 2 page letter she left us. Just wanted to be with her boyfriend-who is 16,on house arrest but cut off his ankle monitor when she got taken by CPS,and is hiding out at a friend`s house. Hopefully the cops will find both of them there. From the sounds of it,boyfriend will be locked up til he`s 18. That will probably cool her desire to be with him.....
 
Oh, my, Mrs. Robinson. I hope she's been found by now.

I'm off this morning to work for my "new" old client. I won't know until I get there how much work is involved...have to see what's been done or not done in the past three years. He's a nice guy so I'm looking forward to it even though it's a big house.

According to the weatherliars, we'll be back to normal September weather starting today. As long as we don't have to turn the a/c back on, that'll be fine with me.

Best wishes to you, your family this young girl and all the other kids in the house in getting this matter resolved and having everything settle down. This is never easy, but par for the course when parenting kids whether they be by birth, adoption or via guardianship. Very few kids are smooth sailing, some are more than a hand full, we do the best we can, where we can. I can relate from both sides, I've been that girl, in some ways, and I've had guardianship of kids that weren't mine. a touch position to be in either way. The girl was/is lucky to have had you in her life and I'm sure she will take away something positive from the experience of having known you.
 
She`s still not found. Of course,all of her friends know where she is but they`re not talking. She even posted on Facebook this morning but when I immediately commented "Please call me!",she deleted her post. Her grandmother and aunt said they ran into her on Sat. night and she was very under the influence of something-didn`t even recognize them even though she came face to face with them- but they didn`t call the cops or anything. But I don`t even actually know if they even knew that she was a runaway at that point. Anyway,it sounds like the Sioux Nation has been notified that she is in foster care and will be coming to take her at some point. Not sure how long it takes them to do that-and,of course she has to be found first.
 
So sorry to hear, substances being involved, that's a whole other issue, I sure hope she gets help, she's going to age out very soon and then she may find herself in much worse circumstances than anyone can fathom. Such a sad situation all around, my heart goes out to all involved. Drugs didn't even cross my mind, I forget about the times we're living in on occasion.
 
My agenda for the day is work as usual.... possible extra long day today, so I'm not looking forward too much to that.

Mrs Robinson I hope you've heard something more postive about your forster child before the days' end.
 
Good Morning everyone...still beautiful weather here, today I plan on cleaning all glass and mirrors...such an exciting life I live, also time to start preparing my patio plants for the winter....have a good day.
 
Good grief, Jackie,.....I greatly admire your resolve; I may go to buy some bread...I may not!
