A Busy Day.

Yesterday’s question was an easy one. The answer is that they were all nicknames for a commode. Let’s try a really hard one today. Athos, Porthos, Aramis. What is common about them?

I read Mom the blog post about the struggles I am having about her going to Utah. Then I read all the comments to her including mine. I also shared an instant message that I was having with one of the women here that in that message she suggested that Mom and I needed a break from each other. I really don’t want to mention names without permission but Mom knew of the lady because the lady had sent mom a really nice gift that she had created. It was a very touching thing for that lady to do and Mom was very touched by it. So touched that Mom sent her a nice thank you card. After the comments and the instant message, Mom is now leaning towards going to Utah. She wants me to make the decision as to when she goes but I think that should be left up to mom and sis. Oh, and by the way if anyone wants to instant message me they can do it two ways, through Facebook or through Aim or AOL as williamjdahn.

Busy day ahead today. I am at Mom’s today as part of my two night, three day weekly gig. While there I have to get the dining room ready for Mom’s bridge club which is meeting at her house tonight. Even if I have to stay there tonight, we don’t know if my nephew is back from Chicago yet, the bridge club being there frees me up to go out tonight if I desire.

I also have two work assignments. The firm that bought my business are tied up on a long project and one of my old clients would like to have his returns done by Monday. That involves a partnership and a corporate return. He has a legitimate reason for wanting the returns done, he wants to pay the manager of one of his businesses his bonus. That is where I come in. They called and want me to prepare those returns. I have to pick up the work this morning. It is nice to have the extra income.

Then there is a very much needed haircut. Sometimes I am tripping over my hair now. They may have to use a lawn mower to cut it. I figure if I get a haircut I will be ten pounds lighter. So there is an hour with Sandra planned for today.

Also on the platter is taking mom out for lunch, cooking dinner for Mom tonight, and some shopping for the bridge club tonight. Mom wants some new cards for the game tonight. And she needs a few snacks, etc. for the game.

Any comments today? What do Athos, Porthos, Aramis have in common? They are not all colognes.
