It took 6 1/2 hrs for DS and the tech person to fix his computer.  There was a virus in his wireless modem.  DSIL had to redo DD's computer.  He hasn't started on mine yet.  Work is keeping him busy.


Landlord said he will be back to finish as soon as he gets the empty house up and rented. This is the house he bought after this one.  I asked him if he was planning on coming back and he looked sheepish.  I told him that this Jan I will be living out of my suitcase for 1 year and I can't take much more.


I dont' mind my job.  It's the economy and the unwillingness of people to spend.  The business owners tell me that they are so afraid of how their taxes are going up.  Many businesses have already closed.  My one friend has been looking for something for over a year.  I think things will imporve after the Nov election when people will wake up and realize that we need a balance of power in Congress. This one is so out of touch with the people.


DGS had his dirt truck birthday on Jan.2nd. He turned 4.  The new baby will be another girl who will arrive either late Apr or early May. 


The other cats are sleeping on my bed now so Sophie doesn't have her own space any more.  She spends most of the time in the bedroom because of the male.  He chased her yesterday and I chased him.


I'll leave you with a funny, true story.  My friend who can qualify to this board was driving home when a man in a truck started sticking to her bumper. She slowed way down and he continued driving close. He followed her home and approached her car.  She pulled the 'grandmother' act.  She started shaking and told him that she was afraid that he was going to hit her so she slowed down so it wouldn't hurt so much.  He was speechless, started stammering, and left.  I hope it woke him up! 


We had some snow showers today.  I got home right after it started.


Stay healthy and safe.  Prayers and hugs to all.
