Good morning everyone! Got up at 3:45 am with Ken this morning, cleaned the puppy pen, started some laundry, swept the floors, then went back to bed until 8:00 am.  Got up then because dogs were fussing to go out, so took all of them out and started the dishwasher, moved clothes over to the dryer, then started mopping floors. When I got done with that, I caught up the Health Clinic database since that’s in two weeks. Now I need to fold the dry clothes and start cleaning bird cages.

At some point today, I need to run into Greenwood to pay Judy for taking care of the dogs last weekend. I hate to stop housecleaning when I’m on a roll, though as I tend to not get back on it when I get back home. Oh well, that’s important for good will as we want her to take care of them while we’re in Las Vegas in March.

I saw a red truck go down the driveway a little bit ago. Guess that means Charlotte is back from Florida. I wonder how long it will take her to call or come down here. The last phone conversation we had wasn’t too friendly as I was still hurt and angry over what she did with her birds. Despite having promised me that the Eclectus we rescued from those horrible conditions it was living in would come to me if she decided she didn’t want to keep her and also promising me that the cockatiel I gave her would come back to me if she decided she didn’t want to keep it, she gave all the birds away before telling me she was going to do that. When she told me I was very hurt that she didn’t at least let me know BEFORE she did it so I could say OK or no, I’ll take the two I made you promise to give me. While I don’t doubt that the birds are fine and in a good home, it’s the betrayal and the broken promise that is what is bothering me. Would you feel differently?

Ken and I got new voter registration cards in the mail yesterday. I hope this means we are FINALLY on the books!

Well, they dryer just buzzed a summons, so I had best run along.

Love to all,

Margaret
