SO FAR HAVE A FEW HEARINGS AS THE WEATHER ROTTEN, STOPPED ME FROM CHECKING ON FRIDAY..I delivered the tapes from the
previous week but never got to the Docket room to check..it was 5 pm.. It is not easy to not have a car..but I am doing it..with
my extended 6 hour travel time day..
I GOT IN TOWN BUT THE NAVIGATING OF NOAH'S ARK floodgates of streams on
streets and PUDDLE JUMPING WAS HORRENDOUS. I even had to make a purchase of a new pair of shoes the next day as
my boots filled up with water and had to be bagged..literally, first as I stopped in Kinkos Fedex bag and ship store..who
gave me two small item plastic bags to put on my feet inside my boots.. so much for trying to make boots last forever..thank
you payless I love my new shoes..I even told Kinko's they should put up a fun poster..got wet feet? put a sock in it...come
in for free bags..I guess my humor is a little odd ..but I thought it was a fun idea..
As my sinus infection was
so strong last week, I decided to just take a weekend for myself..I am getting back in the swing of things but apologize
for the lack of postings..
