Soooo, Kiddo, any advice for that situation? Consequences when he comes back here and if so, what? Should I say anything to him myself? I don’t think what he did means he is destined to be a thief, but I do often have money on top of my dresser in my bedroom, do I need to stop doing that?

Mister doesn’t seem to want to talk about it, but we all know it was wrong, so how do we deal it?

I seriously don’t know, because if it had been my child, I would’ve drove him over right then to return the money and deal with his Dad right then. But they are not me, so I am trying to figure how to proceed when he does come back over here.

Let Mister and bio mom deal with it. If you have opinions, talk to Mister about it. It's his kid to deal with.

I believe that’s the mistake I made with the girls, not addressing them directly. Yes, Kiddo is Mister’s child, but this is my home too, and his behavior here affects me too. In this case, having to keep track of my money even when I’m at home.

I’m just going to tell him that I know what he did, and it’s not okay. And that I don’t like feeling like I can’t trust him to not take things that don’t belong to him. Or something like that.

I am on the hunt for the next great purse.  I like a crossbody that is more square shaped than flat.  My current purse is a Baggallini which is the correct size, but not a great color.  I have had some Stone Mountain purses that served me well. Let's hope something pops up next time I brave the shopping mall.

My choice these days is Pom Pom of London.  They have a great sale going on right now and I’m quite impressed with their product.  I bought 3 last night (at least one is a Christmas gift).  

Just make sure you check the sizes.  I ordered the mini and wound up giving it to my niece.  I ordered the Mayfair plus, and it hold my wallet, sunglasses, Kindle (when I need it to) with a little extra space.  There is a nice zippered pocket on the side for my phone.

His urine has been purple, the last couple of days. He tried to call in, but no one was there. I looked it up and sounds like a bacterial infection, he is on antibiotics. I didn't know urine could be colors like that even blue. He will Monday, I am very concerned too but not going to say so. He just picked up the 3 trash bags and took them into the garage and had to lie down. He can't do much of anything, I feel so sorry for him.

Please take him to Urgent Care or the ER today. He obviously needs different antibiotics and you don't want this to turn to sepsis.

I got pneumonia while on antibiotics - not all antibiotics cover every strain.

I literally couldn't do anything - getting off the couch to let my dogs outside or go to the bathroom was an effort. I hope once he passes this stone and gets the right meds that he is back to his old self.

THIS!  And request a culture and sensitivity of his urine.  

BTW, antibiotics will turn urine colors.  When I was dealing with my nightmare, my urine was bright red.  It was alarming, seeing it the first time but the nurse assured me it wasn't blood.  I know of another that will turn it blue.  I suspect if you google the side effects of the antibiotic he’s on, you can see if his antibiotic is the culprit.

The houses on either side of me are rentals, both sold after the elderly owners died. The neighbor on one side is moving because her landlord, who is a slumlord, has not done any work on the house since the flood. The one on the other side is moving because mold has just been found. The landlord is moving them into another property, paying all utility costs with shutting off and reconnecting, and sending a moving company. Also, they have had crews in the house constantly repairing everything.

My team will be playing hoops in about 45 minutes.  

I've been really slow this morning.  I did get the December finances figured out.  

Security company didn't return my call yesterday and message said they were out of the office, not that they were closed.  Hopefully, I hear from them on Monday.  I think I have to pay for this sensor and I don't know how much that will be.  

I did talk to the company about my chair.  He said someone will come out next week.  They were very busy yesterday and have short hours on Saturday.  It's a small family owned store with 3 employees.  They fixed it before and I trust them to fix it again.  

Maybe after the game I can manage to print the labels for my Christmas cards.  I've had to mark off too many people this year because they passed and that makes me sad.

I did finally get the bill for my furnace winter check up.  I love this guy and will be sorry when he retires.  He never puts down everything he does.  He didn't mention the fireplace inspection.  

He was here on October 20 and date of bill is November 25.  I should volunteer to do invoicing for them.      

He's slowly turning the business over to his sons and they decided they didn't need the bookkeeper.  Maybe they do need a part time bookkeeper?

Oh yes!  Standard warning from the nurse at the clinic if they give you pills for an UTI - "don't wear your good undies because your pee will be some super bright orange and the stain does NOT come out"

Okay, just ordered Ahava bath products for the neighbors and it was 35% off for Black Friday.  I'm going to throw a nice bottle of bubbly and they can get as wicked as they want to

I had to take DS back to college early in Syracuse   There is a 3 day lake effect snow event going on and today appears to be the best option.  I feel bad for him.  My niece from Philly was also here.  We met at my brothers in Syracuse on thanksgiving day and she came home with us.  

we had lots of plans for the day that obviously didn’t happen.  

my niece and DS have been safely delivered back to my brothers house with only about a 12 mile strip of blizzard conditions.  

Once I got home I took the dog to Tractor Supply.  They were supposed to have a vet clinic and I think she has an ear infection.  My regular vet is closed until Monday.  They cancelled the clinic because the vets were coming from Syracuse

I’ve driven 81 to Syracuse in a snow storm to Plattsburgh.  I was an idiot, I could have taken the Thruway/Northway.  That’s an extra hour of time, but it doesn’t get as bad.
