11:00am

Last night when closing pools

we went around and collected a few

pop cans and checked the dumpsters

by the pool for more cans. 

Got lucky last night and found

a car radiator in one.

I'm guessing that would be worth

about $5 to $7.00.  So it was a good find for us.

Hoping to take a couple bags of cans

to the scrap place this coming Saturday.

I know it won't be much but something

is always better than nothing.

--------------------------------------------------------------

11:00 - 12:00pm

Decided to go down to the basement

and put a little dent into the weeding out crap.

In a half hour's time I have managed

to get six boxes of stuff ready to be hauled out.  

That's a box filled every 5 minutes!  

Boxes are medium to large.

Nothing too big that I couldn't carry it up the stairs

and out to the truck by myself.

It's all stuff that has

accumulated over 13.5 years time.

10:15pm

Just got back from closing the pools

at Tony's work.  More overtime!

He turned in his overtime today for last

week's hours and had 30 hours overtime!

Any money is good money at this point in time.

We let the kids swim about an hour before

the pools closed.  Me, Tony and his coworker

sat along side of the pool gabbing away.

The other day when Jeff mentioned something

about doing his laundry for him I thought

he was joking.  He was not as he discussed

it further with me this evening.

Jeff lives by himself, has never been married

and has no kids and says he HATES doing laundry

and what would I charge to do his laundry every week.

I had no clue so left it up to him.

He figured out how much he was spending

to do laundry at the laundry mat each week

then said he'd give me a little extra on top that

and came up with the figure of $30 each week.

I said just load it up in Tony's car when you 

are ready for me to wash them!

Must be nice to be able to pay someone

to do laundry for you.

He said he'd even supply the soap and fabric softener!

$120 a month to do a single man's laundry, heck yeah!!

That is money that is really needed at the moment.

Plus he's having Tony help him on a side

job this week to make a little more money.

Tomorrow Tony is supposed

to go to Groveport to work on his friend's

home and finish painting a ceiling and

relocate a dryer vent.

I've still been collecting aluminum cans

from the pool trash cans.  Think we might

go cash them in this weekend.

Got about 4 or so bags sitting around 

along with a car radiator.

See, when your bank account gets

low you figure out ways to try and build

it back up again and do whatever it may take.

I could very easily babysit the neighbor's

kids but do not want to go that route

at the moment!  Not exactly that desperate

to have to watch his three kids along

with my two and keep my sanity at the same time

and still try to get things done around here.

 Well it's about my bedtime here in a few.

Just excited I got a little side job to make money

even if it is doing someone's laundry.

Right now, and I do not know why,

I have been doing without about

$250 in child support money.

I haven't seen any in about the past year.

It just quit coming.

They used to have a law that said

in order to keep your CDL license you

had to pay your child support.

Well my ex needs a CDL for his job

and I got child support for awhile because of it.

Now I think that law has been dropped.

And along with it I haven't seen the back

child support he owes me.

Who has the money to take anyone

to court or wants to bother

with going to court.  I don't.

Nighty night.
