So, update on the day...

No word from Smokey. Something tells me he is overwhelmed by all of this. I know, I need an attorney. I will discuss this with my mom and sister over the break. $2500.

Picked up the car. It's home and it starts!!!

Paid the Bookkeeper the remainder of what I owe her for February and a few dollars more for the groceries she sent over.

I still have the money for the trip in the bank, with the exception of the $100 I put in my wallet.

I spent $113 on groceries. It was more than I wanted to spend but we needed cat food, cat litter and that's pricey. I also spoke to a neighbor about the chicken coop. They may buy it. That would be awesome.

Had a nice conversation with D19. She is stressed and I just listened and validated. We laughed and she felt better when we hung up. She's a good kid. She's trying hard.

Had the difficult student today. I'm seeing some real progress with him already. The family purchased a puppy spur of the moment. I think is a case where the parents need more work than the kid. Seriously? I had discussed the possibility of a puppy with the mom and she told me that we could establish it as a reward after some months of work and research into dog breeds. No research. No reward. Reward BEFORE the work. Swell. Puppy was so stressed with its first day with this boy, it was throwing up and they had to take it to the vet. Vet said stress.
