Tuesday Morning Thoughts

The usual old bad Monday was not quite as bad as normal. Neither of my teammates at work was there so I had the day to work at my leisure and get some things done. I worked at a good steady pace all day and got plenty done. That was very nice. It was just good to be away from home. That is strange, very strange, for me to say that. With all that has been going on around here it was just better to be at work.

Brother-in-law went down to the Social Security office yesterday. They called my wife immediately. At least they could tell brother-in-law was not the person to be talking to. The gist of the whole conversation with the Social Security people is that they don’t know anything. Yes, brother-in-law has been approved, but that’s about th extent of their knowledge. My wife asked if she could talk to someone who knew what was going on. Let’s just say she never did. So we know brother-in-law will be some benefits soon, but no one is exactly sure when that will be.

I know he has to go soon; very soon. You can’t live with a crazy person in your house. You just can’t. My big male lab, Charlie, is subject to eat brother-in-law at any time. He has had enough of the erratic behavior from the guy. Charlie knows not to get out of line, but he wants to and I can’t blame him.

It’s been an ordeal having brother-in-law living with us. It can’t go on much longer. Well, I guess it could, but the “us” part would not be part of the deal. I’d sure be gone. So we will see what happens in the next few days. His social worker is supposed to bring him somewhere to look at places to stay.

It is 54° right now. Our high today will reach 80°. We will have AM clouds and PM sun. The sun part is music to my ears. We have fog right now which is does not happen very often here in Texas. I will take the sun.

That’s it for the morning. It’s my early week at work so I don’t get to write as much as I like. Enough said. More later!!
