Thursday

My garden is an aluminum, 5 foot by 8 foot, cow feed pool. The ground here is clay and rock. Not very good for gardening. So i'm going to try having a garden in the feed pool. I needed drainage holes in the bottom of the pool. I was not able to punch holes with a hammer and a punch. It's just too thick. So I asked my son if he'd bring his gun over and shoot holes in it. He brought over his colt 45 (?) and shot six holes through the bottom of the pool. :O) After the police left I put the pool at a tilt and then filled it with dirt. I planted corn, squash, beets & carrots. All of the seeds have sprouted. I'm excited!
I planted my pumpkin, watermelon, and cantelope seeds in flower pots and will transfer them to my side yard when they're a little bigger and stronger...........................

I'm worried about the child support hearing and I'm worried about the sale of my place of work. I haven't slept well in 3 days. I lie in bed thinking about what I will say at the hearing and what I wish I could say at the hearing. Then I worry whether or not I'll be employed after June 30 and if I am, what will my new boss be like.................................and then I remind myself that I always have choices. I also remind myself that things usually turn out for the best. It's the unknown that worries me. I just want everything settled.

Daughter text messaged me last night. She wrote "come upstairs please." So I go upstairs to her bedroom. She's sitting on her bed crying big crocodile tears. Seems her first boyfriend has dumped her. She's confused, hurt, and feeling like it's the end of the world. ........and to boot, she has a sore throat, stuffed nose, and her ears are hurting. I talked to her for a bit, hugged her for a bit, gave her some medicine, then tucked her in on the couch. Poor Boo. I wish I could make it better. You know?
