Way too much Monday going on

Just to know what a schmuck good friend I am, I'm going to pinch-hit next Wednesday and go visit the schnauzers while mama is gone. I successfully disregarded two more emails from S, but *did* respond to the one from her daughter J, who swears her mom is doing a lot better, and I'm needed just this one day.

Compared to my travails with the County, a brief sojourn in Schnauzerland is relatively minor. The Grand High Inquisitor code enforcement guy came out today and closed the case showing me in compliance, but he swears that because I'm a recurring violator, they have to assess me costs. Uh-huh. I stapled on a smile and did not say that clearly I was paying his salary this week with my salary. Didn't include any choice epithets, although I'm a little surprised he *didn't* spontaneously combust as he was driving off. Hey, it was a hot day, it *could've* happened....

Somehow, I managed to be $14 overdrawn at the bank, but thanks to a VERY early birthday present from R from church, I took care of that and covered the check to the yard guy.

Tomorrow I go in an hour early (and get out and hour early, must remember that!) and get trained for one of our new partners. Joy.
