It just cost us over $200 for all new tires. I tell you, we need to paint ourselves black, cry racism, and sue someone. Then we’d have all kinds of money.

I often wonder - where would we be financially if it weren’t for Steven, Dan, and the freeloaders? Would we have a lot more money? I doubt it. God would just send someone else to rip us off. We go through one form of legal victimization after another. It never ends.

He’s out changing the oil in the car now.

They officially made him the boss of the 2nd and 3rd shifts last night, which he wasn’t expecting till the 1st. So now he’ll be making more money. I just hope we’ll be allowed to keep it, excluding bills, of course. It’s just that I fear the state’s gonna try to milk more money out of us by demanding more than $40 a month or something like that. Well, they can demand, but they can’t have. They said $40 and $40 it stays.

He also claims his hours will stabilize, but that I have to see to believe.

For the third time in the last few days, there was a trapped mouse waiting for me this morning. Figuring we might not have gone far enough when dumping the last ones and that this may be the same one that came back, I killed it. After all, there are thousands of them, so it’s not like I’m hurting the mouse population. Besides, what difference does it make whether or not I kill it or a snake does? So, I filled a bucket with water and drowned it in the trap, which isn’t airtight, then dumped it in the brush by the wash.
