it's March 13. Imagine my surprise when my brother called to tell me today is our mother's birthday. Whooops. I felt like crap. Mom said not to worry, she was getting too old to worry over stuff like that. But still, my own mother. I should have remembered and I should have sent a card and I should have called her.
Reports are that my nephew(s) are loving having a t.v. at their grandparents. The oldest says "You didn't want it, so it's ours." I said, "uh - it's mine. I sent it down there. It's still mine." But I was not using it like I thought I would, so I'm glad they're using it, and I think it eases up the tension some. If the kids can watch cartoons some, and Grandaddy can watch his news some, then everyone is fine. They say there are notes on the door like "Stay Out" and "Private." Too funny. I think I'll make some for my next trip home and hang them up in there too.
Had a wonderful dinner with 'sandra tonight. A very pleasant surprise. Her kids are gone with her husband to his family's so we had dinner and shopped for the daughter's First Communion dress. I intend to tell the young lady that her Uncle Mike picked out her dress. Her Mom said she'll be furious that we went to the mall without her. And she's a second grader!
MyFella's coming this weekend and I'm looking forward to it.
There's an odd amount of work related drama, and I know this company is a real number cruncher. I've advised MyFella that, with the low numbers in my department, I could be headed for a handshake and point towards the door. But I can't change it either way. I did, if not my best, still a very good college try. It's a tough market right now, my particular area of expertise is not instant gratification, and it caters to a retiree market. You tell me if it seems normal for gas to be over $3 a gallon, people to be talking about a recession, and you want to act surprised when people retired, on a fixed income, or living off interest from stocks and bonds, don't want to come to a casino as much as they did a few years back. Bah humbug.
All that really matters is MyFella will be here all weekend.
