Looking forward to entertaining new company tonight. Rick will bring the video he made when he went scuba diving with sharks. We'll get lots more tips on enjoying our cruise and hopefully make new friends. They are slightly older than we are; Rick is 59 though I'm not sure about Liz. They've been married 35 years and lived in a variety of places. They should be interesting folks.
Got really wiped on the treadmill today. Considered quitting after 10 min, but instead just reduced the speed for a few minutes and made it through to the end, even getting back on the regular track for part of the time. I had really been huffing and puffing so modifications were in order. I was proud that I made it to the end.
French onion soup is in the crock pot, I baked a loaf of beer bread and a package of egg nog scones, and I'm having lunch. The refund check came today for Michael's semester tuition after he dropped his classes and I was able to write my share of the balance of the credit card bill, so I'm paid up for the cruise including airfare and insurance. We will have additional expenses for shore excursions and other extras onboard, but it's relieving to know that the lion's share of the cost will be paid long before we go.
Thought I had mentioned it, but I might have been assimilating it for awhile and then forgot to bring it up. After some soul-searching, he decided he wasn't ready for school at this point in time so he dropped out. He is working with Dad most weekdays and looking for other work without success as yet. He enjoys working with Dad and is a genuine help and is learning something, so it is okay.
Wow, that sucks about Katie. I will definitely keep my ear to the ground. If she wanted to do a short school course that would get her a CNA certificate, she could almost always get a job in a hospital, nursing home, home health, etc. Wouldn't be likely to pay much more than $9/hr, but there's always work for CNAs.
Had a very fun evening with my coworker and his wife, Rick and Liz. Watched videos of his dive trips with sharks and had nice food and conversation. They brought a killer peanut butter pie for dessert.

Mike dropped his classes? I must have missed that. What happened?
Just found out - Katie's job at Target got cut, and she's desperate to find something. I'm going to have her contact Megan at the Wellness Spa to see if they've got anything open, but if you know of anything with the county that she might be qualified for, she needs to find a full-time position that pays at least $9/hr in order to make ends meet.
Her phone number is 715-498-0002 if you need any info (resume, etc) from her.
