The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.

Thanks, Bea. It helps to have your commentary and input. You have certainly seen your share of madness.

I was thinking I should push the issue with the dog and tell J that my finances are still a bit tight and that it would be nice if he could help me out with the dog deposit since he does owe me $3000. I have to do this just right. I need to tread this carefully. I don't want to hear J sing the blues about money since S told me J dropped about $300 at Menards the other day. Whatever shall J do once the money tree stops blooming? Like I said, leopards do not change their spots.

I don't know if J doesn't realize OW is not the person he makes her out to be because he is convinced in his head she is wonderful (or just not me) or if he just doesn't care. I know it doesn't matter in the long run and it's not worth my energy but some things in this world just never cease to baffle me. I can tell myself (the little amount of time I am around OW) that her colors are starting to change now that she thinks she has "sealed the deal". I am going to continue to give it to the man upstairs and let Him handle it and sit back and watch the show and try to avoid audience participation.
