I woke up too early because i am excited about seeing everybody (tonight!) and have a lot to do. but it's still dark and the house is asleep. Yesterday, Ray stayed home and slept and hopefully is getting better. he also did a load of wash. I still managed to be a few minutes late for work! I worked on the DCA grant some more, lots of numbers to balance and questions to ask. M. had a call from the powers-that-be. Apparently, the people we helped in 2009 were not entered into the computer system properly. Although many people were entered and exited, it looks like very few services were provided. Our local government office, HED, has to turn their report in April 1, based on that information. So we now have to go back through the 2009 client files (over 300) and make sure that every service provided was entered into the computer record-keeping system. This is when I say, TG I am not the director! She was pretty angry, but we know how important it is to do correctly going forward.

I had a nice lunch with Becky to make a good break and heard about her crazy life, involving a horse show in Florida next week, driving down.

I left at 4, going by the bank to make a deposit. Two of our residents have gotten income tax refunds. One is buying a car for $2000 down. The other is paying off her debt at the housing authority, over $1000. I thought, oh, good, then she will be eligible for housing there, but no. It will clear her history, though. I was home before 5 and started packing my suitcase and a box of food and looking for games. At 6, I went to a Chili Cook-Off fund-raiser for the Homeless Shelter by the Women's Council of Realtors. I had a ticket for Ray but he was asleep in bed. I called around but couldn't find anyone available at a moment's notice. It was rainy, but I found the place--a goat farm with several baby goats, as well as adults (about 10 in all). Ten kinds of chili--some were pretty good. I wonder if I can enter next year, because I think mine is better. Not many people I knew, except Regina C., and some board members. I met Meredith's husband, Ken. He is cute and pleasant. He is studying at UGA for an MBA. He is starting a company to make fortune cookies with insults: called Mis-fortune Cookies. Hmm--would you buy them? Mary Kelly was there with her husband Mark. Nick is graduating from college this year and Zara from high school. She is going to UGA and can't wait to be in a sorority. They don't know where they went wrong--except letting her be herself.

I was home by 9, eating ice cream in front of the TV. Ray was up, feeling a little better.
