August 31,2009

Hello my Fav-

It’s Monday again and the last day of the month. I’ve bee following Joseph around on a couple of units. So I can get started in on them. A little orange cat is stalking me J It walk’s up to my cart. It’s stepped up a few times and I’m moving my foot a bit and it jumps away. Scaried Cat Ha! So now I’m in A202, it’s not so bad cleaner than most. She must of lived here for awhile though cause the caulking isn’t how I’ve been dong it for one on my list for September, so its good that I can get a jump on it. Joseph is always pushing for all this stuff to get done besides repairing stuff that is just plain broke. I figure that as much as people move in and out around here that I try to get as much replacements done on an apartment that was occupied for a while as I can. One’s that were only lived in for a few months, I try to do at least one or two upgrades like replacing older light fixtures or faucets. This first week I have units doubled up because Joseph forgot to allow for the holiday Monday. I used to do that too when I did the schedule. Today is payday. Most of it is already gone to pay on the second mortgage. I mailed in your payment today for your fine. Well actually Wes did it for me. So you don’t have to worry about that anymore. I bought the last Harry Potter book the other day. I thought that I should finally read it. I like it because the cover is orange. J I’m going to tear up the tile in the kitchen and put in the rest of the laminate floor that we have in it’s place. Then repaint the kitchen the same color and grandpa’s man cave. I gotta put up that wall at the same time too. I’m just waiting for this last batch (batch like they’re cookies) to go home. The first one is going home next Sunday. The chocolate boy with a black collar. He is going to live in Spokane. I’m meeting them in Yakima for delivery. Kathy the lady that helped us get G&G’s house actually referred them to me. I thought that that was real nice of her. I should send her an email to thank her. Kathy is also the lady that we got Gretchen and Hiedi from. So I’m laying on the floor in this apartment cause my butt fell asleep. Makes me feel all sleepy. I’m all tired today cause I had to make sure that I got to work on time and such. I still seem to be running late everyday. Lots of stuff to do in the morning with all the dogs. I don’t even brush my hair at home. I do it after I’m done with the pool. By the way, in case your curious, my hair was all straight this morning cause I washed it last night. So I was checking out how long it was and if I don’t cut it, it will be at my knees by next summer. Weird huh? Anyways I stayed up way to late last night. I was trying to get a letter done for you after I watched Forrest Gump. I was hoping that you would call sometime yesterday, but you must have been busy or hanging out with your ARMY buddies. By the postmark on your letters, it looks like is takes 2 days for me to get a letter mailed from you. I figure that you write the night before and give it to your DS the next day to post. I was wondering if you get any news of the outside world. Did you hear that john Hughes died? He’s the guy who directed home alone, breakfast club, uncle buck and 16 candles. Then Ted Kennedy died last weekend. He was in the army for 2 years and did his boot camp training in GA but I didn’t find out if he was at FT Benning or the place on the coast. I think that he would have been in the army in the 50’s. Wes’ brother, David got Wes all stressed out last week. Telling Wes that we have to take Shelia, Fran’s dog. Unbelievable that guy. So I had to call Fran and talk with her a little bit about her plans. I was like “David called about Shelia and I don’t think that David understands that we can’t have Shelia” I have too many dogs anyways according to BG. I would just advertise her and find her a new home. Fran want to keep Shelia and the thought of not keeping her started her crying. I guess we are going up there this Saturday. I better get to work. I’ve dozed off a couple times now. J

Love Ya
Mom
