A Little Progress

I woke up this morning with a moderate sense of enthusiasm. It was a cold morning with the sun hiding behind the overcast sky. B and I took the dog for a walk then I made him and J breakfast. My back is feeling much better and I am in a fairly good mood.

I actually feel some sense of relief in creating a list of all the things that are stressing me out. On my way home, I thought about that list, especially the "too much TV" item. Yesterday night I picked up a couple of Christmas gifts and did some plowing around my house before heading to Clickerville. Additionally, I spoke to my brother and now have his cell number. I also made some headway in resolving some of the issues relative to the youth group. I am pleased that I made a minor dent in my todo list. Not bad for a day that started with debilitating back pain.

This morning J asked me "Dad, did you bill the client for the job we did recently?" I replied "Yes I did.” I went on to ask him "Have you thought about putting some of that money towards what you owe us?" "No I have not" he answered. "How much do you want?" he asked. I replied "I want you to tell me what is fair." I think he should give us all the money as the debt is due to his use of the credit card he took from us. However, I don't want him to feel like he is working for nothing, so fifty percent is reasonable in my opinion.
