SOLD

Mike's motorcycle sold. I think he was fairly happy with the deal he struck. He continues to look for work but I find I can not encourage him to find any at this point. He is so tired that he "rests" almost all day. (He doesn't take naps you see.) His taste buds have improved since getting away from the chemo though, which is great for him. He's enjoying his own cooking again and it taking every opportunity to make the "weekend" dishes during the week. Which is fine with all of us of course.

Everyone is home all day now. Gregory is out of school for the summer. Philip has heard from MEPS; they want more information. And I am still plugging away in my home office. Mike seems ready to sell his car but I'm not ready to see him sell it. I was able to convince him to hang on to it for a while. I still hold out hope that Philip will actually learn to drive and take the Honda to work. No, he doesn't have a job yet. But PetSmart is very interested and is very close to the house. His best friend, Josh, is working there and they need the summer help.

We will be down in Southern California for Mike's dad's birthday on the July 4th weekend. We'll be staying at my parents' house (thank you Mom and Dad). We decided not to go to the Dana Point condo for the week in July as we usually do. With all the uncertainty of what everyone will be doing work-wise, we felt it was pushing it to take the vacation. Also, I would have had to leave early for another trip to D.C. anyway.

This year I will most certainly try to take in the National Portrait Gallery and take as many pictures as the docents will allow. *smirk* I've been working very hard on the portraiture lately and feel that I may actually be able to make some more money doing both the ad agency and painting. And it makes me feel good.
