Ah Payday

As dad would say.. the eagle has dewied

I am sure that in sailor (he was a sailor in World War 2) the dewied was a different word. But here it is. May starts tomorrow. Bills are being paid as we speak.

This has been kind of a long month. we had some nice travel during Easter break. This month we spent right down to the last day.. which means it all worked out when you don't have any draw to the check guarantee fund.

So tonight we ate out at Panda. Sue just wanted the chow mein.. really not an option for dinner. So she ate my chow mein and I ate her entrees. It was good.

We got the chair repaired by the body shop in town. He had to take the seat off (a two person job). Then he spot welded the plates back in place and connected the holes with solid bolts.. Its working so much better. We now have a complete three point connection for the platform lift of the powerchair. Before we were hoping the chair would not jump off its track and we would be rolling it down the freeway. So it was mainly used for in city travel. It will be nice to have some connection to the outside word with the powerchair. My favorite body shop man put it together in 3 hours. He was reluctant to charge me the prevailing rate of 62 dollars per hour.. so he charged me 100 total. I couldn't let that happen.. so I threw in another 50 bucks. He was very pleased. He was sort of intrigued by the job. He said that he started it last night after work and was going to finish it this morning. He stayed right with it and finished it last night. He was very happy with his solution. I was happy to get the job done so quickly.

Today was my last day of babysitting a RSP classroom through the star testing program. It was a tough day because only three of the 14 students took the first test.. biology and the whole class took the US history second test. Many had not taken the US history class to do well on it. The teacher was off with the tennis team. It looks like the tennis team will be doing make ups next week.

I just got through talking with Mom. She had toe surgery today. She is doing great. They took the joint apart and put it back together again with wire. We are headed over on Saturday to support. She has ordered up my famous chicken morengo with the polenta side.

Ought to be great. In the mean time she has the classic foot boot.

We are all ready for a Friday.. No telling what shape my classroom kidderos will be.
