The Latest

It’s been a while since I have written anything.  I haven’t been able to think of much to say.  So for those of you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going on in my oh-so-exciting life…

Shelby is still nutty as ever, although she is learning the value of a dollar which is great for bribery.  In no time she will be at the track betting on the ponies.   She gets fake money for chores she does around the house, which she gets to cash in for real money if she wants to make a purchase of some sort.  There is also a payback plan…she has to pay me a certain amount for saying no, or when I have to repeat myself for the third time, or if she has a tantrum.  Now, if I ask her to do something, instead of saying no she goes and digs a fake quarter out of her jar and hands it to me.

My relationship with Wayne has progressed to the point he farts in front of me, but it is still early enough that he acts embarrassed about it.  Although he did fart in front of my sister the other night so maybe there is a ring in my future.  We are going to Vegas in a few weeks to check out jobs and living arrangements for him.  How nice, right?  Let’s just rub it in that you are moving away, shall we?

Work at Joe’s office has slowed down to the point that we don’t even get up and walk to each other’s offices to speak anymore.  We just email.  We have a slow email server so 5 minutes after I hit send, I can tell he’s gotten it by the laughter coming from his office and likewise.

Work at the stable has been great.  I’m learning a lot about horses that I never knew, such has, a hoof abscess costs about $700 when it is all said and done.  Tomorrow I get to learn how to feed them, since I live relatively close.
Off to settle up with Shelby for the day and get her to bed.  Wish me luck.
