Rian returned home last evening. When I first talked with him he was at the airport waiting for his flight. He did say the conference was outstanding!

This morning he reported that Erica and the three boys picked him up at the airport. He said when he walked into the baggage claim area the three boys were there in their with their pj's and tennis shoes, except for Holt, he chose boots! Sadie and the pups didn't make the trek.

Rian did give me an update. This was the conference with the large group of teachers. Next week he flies out with two people from Central office and another principal. I think they leave Wednesday and return Friday night.

He is back on his project. He is wanting to fire the engine in his big pulling tractor. I know what he is dealing with, after you take one apart, it is a rush to make it run again. All he lacks is priming the oil system and stabbing his magneto and it should be ready.

Pepa seems to be having a bout of complications from his falls. He is reporting severe swelling of his right leg. Of course he wants to use this as an excuse to skip therapy and just do coffee with the therapist!

That's not going to work.

Well yesterday was another day of no diet coke. At the most, I have had only one per day on sporadic days. So far today will be another one.

To tell you the truth, I think I can tell difference in the way I feel. One interesting side note is that I have not suffered from acid indigestion since I curtailed my soft drink intake.

I have had five time sensitive jobs to perform. Employee W-2's, contractor 1099's, Fourth Quarter 2009 941, 2009 940, and TWC fourth quarter 2009. Since K.O. has been talking with me about coming on Friday morning and working forty-eight hours straight I have begun to get some of these out of the way. If things go good this evening at the home office. I may be down to one or two to do tomorrow night.

I got the first one out of the way last evening, and it required quite a bit of information I will required for some of the other reports, so the avalanche of reports is falling into place.

I am having a pretty good week. Don't ask me why or what. I just am. I know something good is fixing to happen. I am excited.

Have a day!

FATHER, thank YOU for the hope we have.
