Social Media

In this day and age of lightening-speed communication via social media sites like Facebook, we've taken it to a new level this morning by finding out a cousin of J.'s died at midnight last night. Took me a minute when I read the Facebook update to think through (waking up from the lingering sleep-haze after 10 hours of sleep - needed it, but wow, the hangover from that amount of sleep is hard to shake off) which relative it was. J.'s been on the phone with the brother-in-law and the son of the person and we await info on the plans for services. J. might be traveling to Oregon - we'll see. We have a court date on Tuesday with H. and are on 'stand-by' for an interview for the alternative school. All valid reasons to stick close to home. And still....

He'd like to go. I'd like him to go. We'll see.

We just synchronized our schedules and plans for the weekend. J. said 'do you have to work this weekend?'. My reply: 'I always have to work'. End of story. We also need to procure a button down shirt, tie and nice slacks for H.'s appearance in court on Tuesday. That ticket is going to be expensive in more ways than just the fine. Oh well - it's an excuse to go to Manteca and shop and have lunch at the new Red Robin that opened recently. We love Red Robin!!
