As Lola says, “Well!!!!!”

Let me bring all up to speed on what’s been happening.  First off, let me warn you that I’m in a rather…..bitchy, perhaps?….mood.  Nothing anyone did.  Just the stupid goddamned computers being themselves.  And my own stupidity flying up in my face.  Oh fucking well, eh?Mikey has a job now.  He is working at WalMart.  I am quite proud of him for this, too.  He is so excited about his first legit job, and they like him enough that they automatically offered him management training once his probationary period is over (90 days).  I am so proud of him, and even I, Piers, am doing my best to let him know.  I hope it’s successful; my bid for him to know I’m proud.Elisabeth is supposed to spend her Christmas break with us.  We’re in a tight spot right now, but nothing we can’t conquer in the long run.  After all, I applied at Wally World yesterday, too.  Damn computer they have there!  Anyway.I need to let Jack back out to play Happy Housewife, since we FINALLY got the damned computers networked correctly again.  I’m on my own computer, and it’s about damned time!Why have we been missing for so long?  Good question.  Here’s a good answer.We had lost our electric service, and neither of us wants to hog someone else’s computer too much, so we had no real way of spending time online.  Just enough to check e-mails and stuff.My stupid blood sugar is lowering, and I feel a crash coming on, so I’m gonna go up front, eat, and clean….if Jack doesn’t come out for the cleaning.  Actually, Louis is a good housekeeper, too.Who knows?Love to all, sappy and wussy as that sounds coming from ME,PdC
