Leah performs in church

Leah did a little beam work in church to illustrate a point for Pastor
Terry.

A sad day

Today the Russell family had to say goodbye to one of the sisters. Aunt Pat passed away on Sunday. Everyone came to Avon Park to celebrate her life.

This morning, we woke at Aunt Pat's house. At 10AM, her service was held at Fountain Funeral Home. Her brother, Bob and the pastor from the local church performed the service. Both of them switched off speaking. Bob did great and was able to hold it together. Pat was laid to rest beside Margie.

Afterward, we all met at Annette's house for the wake. It was fun to see everyone there.

I hope Annette will be able to join us for our family trips.

Good Sunday

Turned out to be a cool Sunday. I've got a lot of work to get done, but oh well. Got to get some time with the kids.

I was just about to start working on the Turnhere commercial, when I was approached by Justin to go fishing with his friend Cristian. I agreed thinking that it wouldn't be but 30 minutes and they'd want to do something else. Well, after we couldn't find the proper tackle, I went to Walmart and found a cool little tackle box for beginners. For 10 bucks, it had everything you needed inside. I got back and the kids were psyched. We were out there till 7:30. Everyone caught a Blue Gill.

Then, Jason Drury called. FINALLY! I got to have a conversation with him and catch up. I've been wanting to do that for years.

All alone

Mel, Mimi and the kids went to Crestville today to see Claire and the kids. Meanwhile, I'm here working my ass off for the summer. But have to do it.

Davie PD

Got the letter on Tuesday. Didn't make it past the oral interview. Ughhh! The process is sooo frustrating.

I didn apply for FWC. I need to see if they actually require the TABE or not. Now, I need to get back to PT and run that 1.5 mile.

Indy

About a month ago, Indy came upstairs crying, barely able to walk and
vomiting. It was very concerning. But the next day, she was fine and
stayed that way till Tuesday. I got a phone call from Mel that Indy
was at it again.

I tried to get her to the vet on Wednesday, but the doctors aren't in
on Wednesday's. So Vanessa invited us up to her office in Deerfield
Beach. Indy did well with the Xrays and bloodwork. Nothing on the
xrays, but bloodwork showed kidney failure. Now the issue is how
long to wait till it's being selfish to keep her around.

I took her to the studio afterwards. She had a valium. She was out.
But did want food and water. She was crawling to get around. But
eventually she came out of it.

I'm going to miss her loud purr, tucking me in bed, waking up with me
and saying hello when I walk in the door.

Davie Oral Interview

At 8:00am, I pulled into Davie PD for my second interview, but much
more formal. Much different than my Coral Springs interview.

I can't go into too many details, because I was asked not to divulge
specifics. But I walked into 3 class A uniformed officers. They asked
set questions and had me go over scenarios. There was no elaboation on
their part. Very strict and stale. Then...it was done in about 20
minutes. The HR representative told me it would be a bout a week and
I'd get a letter stating what the next step, if any, would be.

Personally, I don't think I did that well. But that's usually how I
feel when I actually do well. We'll see.
