Another night already in the books.

Yesterday was really a good day! Got an early start, stayed with it and by four o'clock I was done. I got home and immediately addressed a maintenance problem. Krl had called me and told me that the garbage disposal had gone out. I did a quick assessment and determined that it wasn't out yet, it was locked down. I disconnected the power supply and went to work, got it freed up and put the power back to it and it ran, but sounded like I should have run. I got to flipping it on and off and finally it spit a dime out and then locked down again. I repeated the process and got it freed again. Krl reached into it after I disconnected the power and when she withdrew her hand she had a beat up quarter. Thirty-five cents. I may have a money maker here. Thing is I would rather do without the change and avoid the problem. We still haven't determined how the money got down the drain.

Kat came over to swim. +e was out of pocket so she will be mad. Kat is a card, but you can tell she is the baby. Pouty and whining. Always trying to bend the rules. Meme looks like a fabricator shaping new guidelines continuously. Dandy stays in trouble most of the time because I will aggravate and pick at Kat. I got in trouble last night because when we were eating supper she was chowing down on the Bush beans and telling us how she loves them. I asked her if she was a "beanie baby" and I was in the doghouse again. Thankfully I didn't voice "biscuit babe" out loud. I think Meme is more sensitive about Kat's eating habits than Kat is. Funny thing is when Trc and Ellen came to pick Kat up Trc was solidly in Dandy's camp.

The lines continue to be drawn in the ingrate infidel saga. I did make good on a standing proposal yesterday. I knew it would be rejected but I carried through so it couldn't be thrown up in my face. I will let them draw the lines and then I will color the picture for them. I didn't think I would ever want anyone to have to live the last few years of my life but I am finding myself rethinking that. In some instances (and this may well be one) it might be very instructional. They have always told me they can't imagine (and this is evident) so all I am going to say is what goes around comes around. I have requested some borrowed items back and I have not received a reply. If these don't show up by July 1, I have an appointment to swear out a complaint and an arrest warrant will be issued. Golly, I bet that would look bad on a resume! Oh well, the best learned lessons are also the hardest.

The Fourth of July melee continues. I cannot understand our core customer. I realize they are having some production problems but this is nutz. Yesterday they were canceling some loads while adding Saturday. This will be three weeks in a row for some of our drivers to work Saturday. I think everyone will be glad when the fourth of July is behind us.

FATHER, thank YOU for the tremendous week, for the productivity, for the safety, for the continued work. I continue to ask that YOU strike down the infidels. I continue to ask YOUR healing for Krl. I lift up Memama, Pepa, Hag, B., Lillie, Aimee, Jennifer, Jess, Dr. Mackie, and Jeanine for YOUR healing. I ask comfort for those that are hurting from loss. I pray for those of us who battle to follow YOU. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders as well as the efforts being made to expand YOUR kingdom. How majestic is YOUR name.
