After missing a week of work I am finding I could be a walking testimony to doing daily maintenance of paperwork! I can't believe how far behind I am.

My plan is to get the June statements out and then I will evaluate my work situation. I don't think that I will get it done today. In fact with the holiday, it may be Friday.

It seems that yesterday was another of those days involving lots of research. As it turns out most of the research was of above normal personal interest as it involved an alternator for one of the units I am charged with over-seeing. I may have received some bogus information from a couple of colleagues. One should be in the know, the other seems to always talk a good game but is usually wrong. Late yesterday Hag called me with some "good" information and I was able to determine what I needed, it just happened it was after five, which means it will be probably Friday before it could be shipped in.

This particular truck had been leased out, but due to some developments it was available to Pepa and Hag for the wheat harvest. It seems the business that had it leased, fired the employee who on occasion drove for them for imbibing on the job (thankfully he wasn't in the truck). They have another employee who I would be more comfortable with piloting the truck. As it stands right now, I don't know if we have a continuing agreement or if it has ended.

E and the kids, minus Shelby, spent Sunday night at Memama and Pepa's. They seem to be doing pretty well. I am sure they needed the diversion.

"Coach" called telling Pepa he had made him a doctor's appointment in Brownwood for two-fifteen yesterday. Memama and Pepa have been without an internist since their doctor quit, followed closely by his heir apparent's relocation to another state. Pat had talked with several doctors but had not found anyone who made an impression. That all changed yesterday. The interesting thing is they have different doctors. Pepa's is a man, Memama's is a woman, but Pat is pretty pleased with their thoroughness along with their personalities.

I just don't know about their location.

On a personal note, I guess I need to go and visit Memama and Pepa for a diversion. I seem to be having a difficult time right now dealing with Freddy and Terri's absence. Add to that the difficulties at home and it hasn't been a good situation. I haven't slept very well at all. Just a couple of hours Saturday and Sunday nights, a little better last night. Interesting thing is that if I sleep, it is in my chair or on the couch. I cannot sleep in bed. I am wondering if I have some sub-conscious fear of going to sleep in bed because of the similarities in Freddy and Terri's deaths.

Beats me! I just know I am tired.

Have a day.

FATHER, I pray for YOUR peace.
