Day 2998

 I woke up at 6 and couldn't get back to sleep.  I ended up playing games until after 7. Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.

It was cold today - in the 40's and windy.  It was too cold to go outside.  I decided to work on the FCX, but my heart wasn't really into it.  I spent a lot of time figuring out how to place the electronics and the wiring - there's not a lot of room.  Then I just lost interest.  I'll have to finish it later.

After that I just wasted time surfing.  Then I got a text from Lee.  Abby was in his yard playing with Kai.  Ellen had taken her to the garbage and she'd found a hole in the fence.  I went out to retrieve her.  That developed in a fairly long conversation with Lee while we watched the dogs play.  Abby got in a lot of good running.  Unfortunately Kai was tired from training yesterday, so it was kind of limited.

Eventually we took Abby back home.  I went back to wasting time surfing.  After a little while we took Abby to the vet to get here heart medicine.  She needed to be weighed to set the dosage.  She weighs 35.4 pounds.  I hope that she doesn't get any bigger.  That's still at least 23 pounds lighter than Lucy.  I never considered Lucy to be that big a dog.

After the vet we took Abby to Tomlinson's for treats.  Then we went to Mighty Fine for lunch.  They had a nice enclosed area to sit with Abby.  Then it was a short trip to HEB for bananas and then home.

About 3 Tony called.  He was absolutely unhinged.  He started to ask for advice and then veered into a shouted tirade about being alone because everyone thinks he's crazy.  I got him calmed down and determined that he was worried about a credit card payment that had been returned by the company.  Apparently he paid by a certified check, the company had returned it, and the bank had mailed the check to him.  The check hadn't been delivered yet.

I gave him advice- talk to the credit card company and the bank.  After that he went on a rambling tirade about everybody and everything being out to get him.   It covered the "hacking", his car crash, the success of his self designed rehab, the bleeding (it was really the food he was eating), his hate of the Catholic church, and how he was going to be a writer to earn money.  I also found out that he has $18K in credit card debt.  There was more, but I quit listening.  Eventually I got him to terminate the conversation after 45 minutes.  I honestly think he's going to end up dead.

 After that Ellen went off to the club.  I'd gotten new shocks for the Defender, but I didn't feel like working on them.  I'm just not motivated today.  I did play with Abby for a little while.  Here session with Kai only tired her out for part of the day.

Surfing and videos took up the rest of the afternoon and evening.
