Getting a Couple of Things Off My Chest

9:32 am - The dogs are driving me nuts this morning. They keep jumping up a running out the door barking at something, but I don't see anything. I don't think they do either. Gr and I are really ready for Map to go home. At least the guys should be having a good day ice fishing. It is beautiful and sunny.

12:06 pm - I've spent the morning in the the office. I hate being only able to pay off half the bills, playing the pick and choose game of which bill to pay; trying to make money stretch. Then the guys are bugging me, the couple who we still have working. They aren't doing what Big E asks them to, and are just costing us money. I'm going to tell them not to come in tomorrow.

12:59 pm - There's a new menu at Friendly's. It looks bigger, but I think it's just the same stuff with a new layout.

6:21 pm - I still haven't heard anything from Big E and the boys. I'm guessing they had a good day fishing. I don't know if they'll be home tonight or not though. Good thing I went for frozen pizza for dinner. You know all three of them have cell phones, but it's way to much for me expect a call. I've been looking at the painting Big E's sister did of him and his bear as a Christmas gift. We're going to be hanging it over the bar in the kitchen. The thing is ugly, but Big E loves it so I'm stuck with the thing.

10:30 pm - It's starting to snow [beginning of a big storm]. They guys made it home, C caught a fish. That's pretty much all the info I got out of them before Little E went to bed, Big E fell asleep on the couch, and C went into the shower. No body talks to me around here.

Cell Phone From Hell

9:48 am - I can not get myself going today. So far the big accomplishment is that I've taken a shower [still not dressed]. The sucky part is that I've got a lot to get done. Well maybe I'll fall back on the tried and true. I'll make a list and start checking things off.

12:26 pm - What a frigging waist of time. If I may trash a company for a moment, do not get your cell phone service from Hand Chevrolet in Manchester. I always know that I'm going to have to wait for service, but after waiting a half hour, I was talked down to by a Mr Warren like I was a three year old. Big E sent me in to get a new battery for his phone, and after sitting through what I'm sure this guy thought was an education, I was told they didn't have any batteries. I have no complaints with US Cellular, but their dealer in Manchester sucks. If I could get out of the contract I would switch in a heart beat.

2:18 pm - Well I just found out about on the material sales made in the last two weeks while WK wasn't at the shop, that no one told me to bill for. Wonder how many other things went out of here with no payment.

10:22 pm - Well the list thing worked pretty well for me, I got everything check off but one item. I even had it together enough to bake a loaf of Banana Bread. Now if I can just keep myself from eating any of it tonight. With any luck Big E and Little E will save me a piece for my breakfast in the morning.
