Maybe just one more cup of coffee

Well-

Rolf has "red-team" today. It's one of the last reviews of the oral proposal presentation. I wish there was something I could do to help. Well, I know what to do. All these reviews have his confidence shaken. So, this weekend he's going to do the presentation for me. I hope I can offer valuable assistance. I'm sure I can. He just needs confidence. I don't think of him as someone who is afraid of public speaking, but he does break out into a flop sweat when he goes on stage. Maybe if he sees how wonderful he is in my eyes, he will believe it.

BME has not been in contact with us since he left for vacation in Turkey. It has been 7 days since his car was levied by the county. They say that if the tax isn't paid by Monday, they're going to sell it! I'm not paying for it. However, I did, after a great amount of effort, find his sister. I gave her the warrant and all the back-up paperwork. I hope that she gets it paid.

"So, what if the county sells his car? Am I still kicking him out, when he is down?" That's what Rolf asks me, rather accusingly.

Yes.

Bemmy's going to end up dead or in jail one of these days soon. Perhaps a little side trip to a homeless shelter will be the smack he needs to wake him up and save his life. What if I can't do it though? Am I willing to appoint myself as the house warden, and take away his computer, television, and porn?

I really don't think I care anymore.

Mama's had her sixth week of chemo. It's getting rougher each time. But she is an inspiration. If it were me, I would have lain down until it all the bad days were over, probably never rising again. But she is obsessesed with staying on top. She's fighting for her life by making sure the bed is made, the floors are cleaned, and the lawn mowed. This week or next they're going to look at the tumors. We're ready for the miracle! Oh, how I hope they are gone.

I've lost track of where we are at with buying the Richmond house. The first attempt at the loan is being rethought. Rolf is handling it, well, in his free time. Meanwhile, Towmy in Richmond is getting estimates and just biting at the bit waiting to get started.

I talked to Kay last night. She is still saying things like "I keep telling everyone all the things you did for me. And I am just amazed by all you did. . . And I can't beleive how you just saved the reception by making a new wedding cake. ." It really doesn't seem like I did all that much. It just goes to show, it's being there that counts. If you don't know what to do, just be there. In itself, that is the biggest gift.

Well, I am procrastinating on a bit of work. I have meeting in two hours to explain a discrepancy in the financial statements. Only, I don't know what happened yet.

Now that I've had my coffee, and cleared my head a bit, it's time to get on to it.

Wish me luck.

All the best to you for a great weekend.
