    Gee, scary news about your DGD, Sam. Extra prayers for her safe travels and eventual return.

    Rain today, another piano class, and not sure what after that.

    Have a good day.

    Mornin' gents

    Trial next week, so we are training dogs in the rain today.
    How old is DGD, Sam? Prayers for her safe return.

    Onward and downward ;-)

    Good morning!

    Sam, that is so scary. Prayers for her safety and for her quick return.

    Mike, awesome job on the piano! It has been cool to see your skills grow with piano restoration.

    We have no replacement controller yet, and on top of that, my son hated working there and he is not working again right now. My burnout is getting worse by the day it seems. I am just flat exhausted all the time. I have been back to some old stress eating, and my weight is back up almost 3 pounds. I'm not going to give up all that hard work on losing that weight, so I am going into refocus mode. As if I didn't have enough at work, the owner's personal CPA is coming in tomorrow to review my work with the end of the fiscal year, and find out where I am with everything so that she can train my replacement. Honestly, I don't know if I can stick it out another month or not. I know that I can, but I sure don't want to. They keep low balling offers to candidates so there is no replacement yet. I have two more interviews today. I don't even have a clue anymore why I have to do the initial interview because they don't even ask my input on them.

    Have a great day!

    Good morning gentlemen.

    So sorry about your DGD, Sam.

    Are you getting a severance package, Steve? If not, then why not just quit?

    I have a wonderful hike yesterday, right up until near the end, when I tripped over a root and couldn't completely catch myself and face planted. Gouge in forehead, cut in eyelid and lip, where sunglasses where crushed, and a slight sprain of left wrist. So it goes. Anyway, it was a good hike, covering 14 miles, with 2,625 feet of vertical.

    Over the last couple weeks, Sassy developed some funny, wart-like growths on the back of her head. Yesterday, while Rita was cleaning them, they scaled off, bleeding a little and the patch of hair came out. It's red, now, but looks like it is healing. Does this sound like anything you are familiar with? Should I call the vet?

    Good Morning,
    DGD is 15, Sheriff office in adjoining county went and picked her up and returned her to our county. I do not know what all is going on, but she is back home safe and will complete school year at home except for exams.
    DS got bit by a spider last week and has been running a high fever, doctor sent him to ER.
    Could not laser eye yesterday afternoon, will try again this afternoon; hope he goes over left eye again.
    Glad you are doing better Bill.
    Steve they may have been hard on Collin because you are leaving; they are going to have a hard time getting someone if they are not going to offer going wage; this also tells me they do not value accounting and value added. After you are gone, they can pay their CPA to do the job.

    Good Morning

    Sam, I am thankful your DGD has been found safe and is back home. Hopefully whatever is going on will get talked through and resolved.

    Steve, you can only do so much. It sounds like they are throwing a fit over your decision to retire early. At the end of the day it is not on you to find your replacement. You may want to set some boundaries for yourself.

    I follow up with the back surgeon today. I am hoping he will continue to allow me to do more especially on the exercise front.
