Good morning gals! Except for my tootsies, which are bare and cold, it is pretty decent here this morning. We are going to be warming up to near 70 again. Weird weather this year for sure. At least the trash guys didn't drop a bazillion of those peanuts out on the road for me to pick up yesterday. They did a pretty good job of getting them all in the truck!
My phone rang yesterday and I checked the caller ID and saw it was my son so I picked it up and this strange man's voice said, "This is the Tennessee gambling commission and you need to return the $2300 you won. There is a problem with how you won it." He went on for awhile and I laughed and said, "Ok, so which of Jay's friends is this." He laughed and said, "Hi, mama." That boy. I didn't figure it out until right now that he said Tennessee and not only do we not have casinos in TN, they are not allowed!
He should have said Mississippi!
They had been in Boston last weekend and also visited Niagara Falls. My dil's father is in prison in Concord. He has been in prison a long time now and will get out in 2 years. They are trying to deport him (he is not an american citizen) but my son and dil are trying to keep him here as he desperately needs a heart transplant. Stupid man got caught transporting a semi full of some kind of drugs years ago in El Paso TX. I guess her mom and dad have been divorced since she was a little girl. When we went to the wedding, a lot of her dad's family came and were so very nice. Now here is the funny part, one of her dad's brothers is a police detective in Los Angeles! Boy, you want a good looking man! Whoooeeee! Her dad's family is Hispanic and this uncle makes Benjamin Bratt look positively UGLY!
Jean: Jack has up and down days with the foot being sore, but it is much much better. He does his roll the ball exercises every night. He says it doesn't start hurting until about 1 PM every day and that is better than it was. I figure in time it will get better. Good for you! Keep up the good work with the lbs off! I am going this weekend and getting my kitchen and fridge full of good stuff and getting rid of junk so we can lose weight again.
Well, I guess I better go. I have bills to pay, furniture to move, stuff to take off walls, the bathrooms to clean and chores to do. Tomorrow is furnace day and I sure dread that. The poor cat and dog are going to have to be locked up until they finish.

The BIGGEST jerk was AWOL today so it was pretty quiet. Tomorrow is a 7:30 am staff meeting and Wed. is a 3:30-5:00 reading meeting that is a waste of time for the high school staff. I hate meetings like that! 
This afternoon I had a message to call the hospital gift shop and when I did, it seems that I had left my checkbook there on Saturday. The nice person who found it locked it up for me and the buyer knew where I worked so called me at school to let me know. I would have missed it sooner or later, but I just didn't need it over the weekend so hadn't realized I didn't have it.
I won't complain because we were 37 degrees above 0! 
and he must have realized it because he whipped into a shopping center, wound his way behind the stores, and left by the service entrance. We lost him in the traffic. He did look like the real Elvis, at least from a distance. So many of them look so fake. Just when you think you are done with your chores, there are always more. 
Every once in awhile there is a news item about someone having the wrong limb amputated. It was nice that you could help your daughter. I like that kind of job once in awhile. I'm sure her clients appreciate her thoughtfulness. The new TV seems to be working just fine.
from Iowa!
It went away after I had walked around a bit. I can't figure out why your neighbor owners wouldn't want to clean the joint up so they could rent it again. Maybe they will try to sell it 'as is.' That is a scary thought for you!
