Mrs. Murphy Moment…..I’ll explain

I knew this rather intriguing older woman once named Mrs. Murphy.  I didn’t know her name, other than that.  She would always tell us things like, "You have to buy some seeds to plant.  Where do you get those seeds?  Well….."  or "You need to get help with that.  Where do you get that help?  Well….."

I just had a Mrs. Murphy moment.  "Tell them how the day went.  And how did the day go?  Well….."

I’m trying to recall how I woke up.  I think I just woke up on my own.  No fights or anything, thank God.  After some cawfee, we got a call from Mama.  She was going to pick us up and visit Memaw.  Ok.  That sounded good to me.

It was a good visit.  I hated leaving, but Memaw made me laugh by saying, "Aw, pooey!" when Mama said we had to leave.  Miss Mozelle, who has lost most of her mind to Alzheimer’s but can still walk and talk….even though most of it doesn’t really connect anymore….came up to me as I was leaving.  I directed her to the people who were about to play music and sing for the residents.  She said he was pretty good, but what was I going to do?  I was going to help Mama find a new refrigerator.  Miss Mozelle asked me where were the people I came in with.  I told her they were leaving, and I had to go with them.  So I told her I hoped she enjoyed the music and I’d see her again either tomorrow or Monday.  She said ok.  I left.

We went to rental places, looking for fridges for Mama.  Well, she only needs ONE, but you know what I mean!  Anyway, while out, we went to Family Dollar to pick up a few things : cat food, dog collar, heartburn medicine, and we were looking for new flip-flops for My Mikey, but we didn’t find any that were good for him.

After that, Mama went to RentWay to get her money back, because they failed to deliver on a promise of a new fridge for her.  That went down with no problem.  I talked to MH, and she said things were getting ironed out with Isaac, the new tenant in the Waco house.  Good.

We came home.  I started working on that DAMNED code again.  We also took a little time to redo the image of Betty twice.  Then, a little while (like maybe 7 hours) later, I talked to David of David and John.

That just about brings us up to speed.  If I remember more, I’ll post it in the morning.  My Mikey wants another Lunchcast.  Oh well, that’s up to Piers.  We’ll see if he can do one tomorry. 

Much love to all!

My Mikey, I love you forever times PI cubed plus one,

Your Jack
