Today did not go the way it was supposed to at all.
Thursday, I received a phone call form a woman in Madison needing after school help for her three little ones. (I love these stay-at-home-moms who have no clue how to balance their time and handle their kids.)
Anyway, we set up a tentative meeting for today and she was to phone me this morning to organize the time and place.
This morning when I awoke, there was a message on my gmail account that I have some mail at Sittercity. I figured it was Tiffany from Madison, but I was incorrect. Instead it was a pet sitting inquiry from some folks in Colonia, just down the road from where Eddie and Helen used to live. After several emails and a delightful phone conversation, we agreed to meet this afternoon. Holy cow! I met some soul mates! We had so much in common, it's a wonder we've never met before! What a fun afternoon! For a minute, I considered offering to watch their 7 pets (1 old beagle mix, named Katie and 6 seriously laid back felines) for nothing. But I snapped out of it. I'm not stupid. Money is money, and right now I'll take it where I can get it. The hours will tie me up, so I had to ask for my top scale. The family name is Dubin, Ross and Susan. They seem wonderful, and the pets are a delight. It's going to be a good thing.)
Taking Carol D. and Sophie to the airport in the morning. Barb will arrive late afternoon / early evening. We're going to meet up in Wanaque at our favorite restaurant up there - for old times' sake. I'm really looking forward to this visit!
Otherwise, today was quiet. Tiffany, the stay-at-home-mom in Madison, never phoned. Just as well.
All for now,
CM
