I sent an IM to C this morning - needed to ask her if I could park the new utility trailer at her place til I closed on the new home. she said that she was just plugging in a coffee cup warmer that I have her last week and was thinking of me. she said I could leave the trailer there on one condition - that I move her son's (our old)popup camper that he left parked in the driveway. so I took off this afternoon and took the utility over.

When I got over there she had someone over there cleaning her house - she called her over to introduce me and the lady said "you look great" and came over and instead of shaking my had said she wanted a big hug. (which I gave her) a little later her employee came in to work (one she had to fire last November - but more on that in a little bit) She said that I had lost lots of weight and that I looked great. I could tell C took all that in.

Since everybody there had cars in the drive and I could not get to the back yard to park the utility trailer and the popup C and I went to get some lunch. We did some fun chitchatting and then talked some about her employee rehire. I had noticed that C had rehired the employee about a week ago and I suggested to C that that might be a good thing as long as she watched her and did not let her do any bookkeeping. I had senced for awhile that C still was very bitter toward employee for the Breach of faith and that by letting her come back to work and forgiving her (not forgetting) that C would start the process of forgiving herself as well. Also I felt that since the employee did know the business and could give C the office support she needs so she can get out and sell and produce for the business. I told C that last week and again today at lunch. C told me that she was very supprised that there were many other of her friend that told her the same thing and encourged her with the rehire.

Our mutual bookkeeper (and C's best friend) was there as well doing some bookkeeping. On top of haveing one or two clients come by as well as having me come by made for a busy day for C and quite a change from many many days of no human contact other than the phone.

After C and I got back from lunch I moved the trailers into the storage position and then after awhile I left to go to my flying lession.

On the way I stopped by Bookkeepers office to pick up my payroll checks (she left C's about an hour before I did and went to her office) While there the convo drifted to C and her attitude and Bookkeeper said that she noticed that C was much happer and seemed to be in a better mood than before - She also said that she supported the rehire (with caution) and felt that it helped C's attitude. I told bookkeeper that I was really behind C and was likely her biggest supporter (after bookkeeper reminded me that she was a big supporter too, I said that we were likely neck and neck) I then came out and asked bookkeeper if I had a snowballs chance in H@**. She said C has to work through whatever she is in by herself but she does see improvement. But I think that in our convo she came more into my corner.

Flying went well - still waiting on my medical - (listen folks - if any of you want to start flying then don't take AD's - it will slow down the process lots - Everyone, (the FAA Dr., my Instructor, and everyone else said that I will get there but that I have to be patient. (where have I heard that before)

Did the gym after flying and can hardly move - but I feel good.

I will continue to pray for C and us (and of course all here on the bb)

everyone keep smiling
