Happy New Year, Tigers!

I have many fond Brazilian friends. So sad.

Wow! Wish I would’ve seen that!

Beautiful day, but still on the cold side for me.

OYB!

Worked on getting Kathy’s CPAP repaired. I was planning on going over there this morning straight from Global Mall, but I wanted to talk to them first. Good thing I did. They do NOT repair any machines, especially the type Kathy has. Plus the distributors just send them back to the manufacturers, which won’t work because the current machine has been recalled. So we’re stuck. With hundreds of people needing a device that they are all out of.

New work week. My weeks never really stop. I just count this as Day One when I’m with the families at Azalea.

Love my girls!

Español!

I repaired one of Everly’s toys. The fabric around her puppy’s neck was torn.

I worked on putting the tax letters that Ashley got together with the envelopes I had done. There were a few out of all of them I wasn’t sure of. I reached out to the people I knew to ask what they thought the total donation of the year had been. Most of the time, people give the same amount every month.

This year was different because people also gave to help with special projects. The randomness made it more difficult to verify. I’d rather get it right the first time. We also had challenges with the electronic giving. Just harder to track than a simple paper trail of checks that I could take pictures of and verify.

All this stuff takes so much time. It sounds easy but it takes hours and hours and you really have to think and have your wits about you when you’re doing it.

Adelante!

I never received the gas bill in December. I got the January bill and it said that I needed to pay last month’s asap, which I did, plus the bill that is due in a couple of weeks. I got a call from them today and explained what had happened. I sent a check on the 25th of last month. Everybody was cool. They understand “lost in the mail.”

I downloaded the tax forms from Audible and Amazon for my book Story Tim. I sold a few more copies last year. The majority get it for free from the distributors because the readers are subscribers of special deals. I signed off on it because it was more important to me that the book was read than that I make much money on it.

Transported a squirrel. Took it to Chamblee.

Took the girls to El Torreros and then to Plaza Fiesta. Si!

Talked to the manager at Azalea. The maintenance guy had left a dehumidifier with us after the flood in the apartment last week. I let her know it wasn’t needed any more and wanted to make sure they picked it up, which they did later that afternoon.

The cover for the exterior light of our upstairs neighbor got broken. Glass was all over the ground. I picked up every scrap that I saw. The girls run around barefoot over there all the time. Even now!

The light in the girl’s bedroom has been out for weeks. Everly told me they had lightbulbs so I repaired that this afternoon.

We had fun at Plaza Fiesta. I agreed to take them over there because I figured it wouldn’t be too crowded, which it wasn’t.

The wind was cold today.

Ordered a charger for my sister in law.

Helped the kids with their homework. We made good progress. Some of them get a little discouraged.

Sunflower!

The boys drew robots today.

Released Verbal Surgery “Wake Up Juice.”

So tasty!
