I was pleasantly surprised by a $27.00 unemployment check in the mail today.

I received a phone call from someone that had looked at my room for rent, and he will rent it. I will stop by his workplace tomorrow to pick up the rent and deliver the keys.

Alma told me that she really likes me today. I'm glad. She had diarrhea and I had to give her a bath. I got $85.00 for taking care of her this week. I took Larry and Alma five tomatoes. I also put a sealer coat of paint on their water-stained ceiling in their living room, where their roof had leaked around the edges of the room.

I put a finishing coat of paint on my water-stained back bedroom ceiling. I'll have to touch up my ceiling again.

I made all of Ruth's breakfasts for the next week. I blended ham, bacon and fried sausage. I fixed scrambled eggs and buttered slices of toast. I put the portions in a TV dinner plate and froze them. Ruth had a dirty-bottom night. It's been a shitty day.
