Carolyn's maters
Carolyn will have an employee off work for two or more weeks; she had surgery on her thumb this morning. That will put Carolyn working weekends during the time. Shoot, it usually rains on Memorial Day weekend anyway, but I would like to have the opportunity to get out if it doesn't rain. Damn, I wish she would get out of this business before it it kills both of us. Her best paying account (one-third of her income) is talking about re-bidding the cleaning; she could lose it at any time.

I sat on the porch yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks. I spent about an hour outside in the morning and got along fine. I then was out again for another hour yesterday afternoon and the allergies hit me; sneezing and sore, sticky eyes. It is going to be a long summer. Today is the first day of the last month of spring; where the hell did the season go?!!!

I'm thinking about returning to school; not to get a degree or anything like that. I want to take a few elective classes such as a second term of psychology and another art history and English and American Literature. I would like to take an astronomy class, but those cold nights under the stars don't sound as appealing as once they did. I will look around and see if I can get some grants and check what is available in on-line courses. That way, I can take an on-line psychology class and analyze y'all at the same time; won't that be fun?

Have a fantastic Frydy!

Ken ... after such course you will be like my Anusia. I hope you remember her from my Flickr (in one photo three of us: me, Asia and Anusia).
Anusia is psychologist. We are working in one room. I appreciate her experience and knowledge, nevertheless she is simply my friend, first of all.
I like Carolyn's tomatoes. :-)
Yes, I remember the photo. It is good that your colleague is a dear friend; makes the work day a bit easier.
They are Carolyn's tomatoes until they are big enough to eat, then they are Ken's tomatoes! ;-)
Thanks, Jola.
I am sure the business is tough and bidding can be a cruel thing.
sometimes we bid so low even though we know we will not win in order to keep to competition from making any money. Then on some bids I have won recently where certain companies did not expect us to bid they go and bid very low on many bids after that and make no money.
Carolyn sometimes bids a job real high when she doesn't want it; like the strip bar where she said she was not going to clean the dance pole. I humbly offered to do it and she raised the bid even more.
