Cecil went to his Mom's for Easter dinner in the afternoon, which was planned.

Tracy was supposed to go to her boyfriend's parent's house, but after she went to church and called him, he hung up on her three times in a row. She called her Mom, who is several states away, started crying, and she cried and cried. She finally decided to spend the night at her grandmother's apartment. i don't blame her for spending the night somewhere else, since her bed is too soaked from the ceiling leak for anyone to be able to sleep in it. The last time Tracy talked to her Dad, her told her to join the Air Force. Tracy's Mom wants her to sell her car, move to Utah, and live with her. Tracy doesn't know what to do. Her net pay is only about $70.00 a week working part-time, which isn't enough to pay rent, keep a car in shape to drive to work and eat too. I think Tracy has an ulcer, because she complains about stomach pain regularly, but she doesn't have enough money to go to the doctor. There aren't any government agencies that will help. According to the agencies, Tracy makes too much money to be able to qualify for anything, including medical, plus she's over eighteen years old and not in school.

I didn't eat Easter dinner 'til 8:45PM after Tracy left.
