I sat at the kitchen table with my laptop just talking away. It was 4am so I didn't think sleep was going to help me tonight. I looked at the program I had finished and was pleased it was for Mark. He needed help and it had been so long since the last program for him. I sent it along with instructions that Mark gets the royalties for this one. Skype notifies me my brother  Emerson Dawson Canfield the 4th aka Bubba was trying to get me. I accepted the call and Bubba filled the screen. “Meg, what’s going on?” This is how it always happens. Bubba knows when I’m up and he shouldn’t be. He has a game coming up and I don’t think the coach is going to be happy. “Bubba, why are you up?” Crap, he looks like Mr. Party Central. I listen as he tells me about the last game. How they should have won and promises that next weekend they have a home game and he will see me at the club with Chloe, his sub. Cracks me up to hear her say Master Bubba. Heck it cracks me up when I say it too. In fact I don’t know anyone at the club who can hold a straight face when he is there. Maybe Nico will be the jinx to the Bubba curse. He is taking the team plane in and she will arrive by train. I ask him if his condo is habitable and know the cleaners will have to go there. As I talk to him I send a text to the maid service and tell them the swine needs the pigpen cleaned. They know who and what I am talking about. I also add that anything removed from the tub and or shower is on Mr. Piglet. Last time they found a baby alligator in the tub. Bubba asked if I’m ok from my episode yesterday and I tell him yes. How does he find out these things? I look at the time and I only have 30 minutes to get to work at 6am. I tell Bubba to go to bed as it is only 2am there.

My car service shows up and I get to the building which now has the Andreas Group Logo on it. I’m really not happy about this. They are known for their predatory practices they use. I wonder if Roman needs another company.   I sit down in my chair and send him a text.

Hey R do you need another company? Look at Andreas Group – xxT

RU on crack little one? –xxR

No I just thought it was an idea –xxT

Bad idea T Nico protects his own btw what happen yesterday –xxR

How does everyone know something happen yesterday? Roman is in Italy for cripes sake.

SSDD Roman take care –xxT

Ciao Bella –xxR

I see that we have acquired another non-profit and 2 small business. It takes me 15 minutes to write the audit programs for each and send it to Meca. Andreas Group should have it by 8am. I take a sip of my tea and pull out my pills. Decisions, Decisions, what to take today? I look at my phone as the text messages come in. It is now 7:30 am.

Take one green, 2 blues and a yellow. No white oval! –xxM

Take two greens, two yellows a white oval and NO blues –xxD

Don’t take anything! I put it in a hypo and will be there in 10 mins –xxA

I send a mass message back to the three and Tim asking them to please get it together and tell me what to take from one source. I guess Anne wins as she arrives with Nico. Not wasting a greeting she comes around wipes my arm with a wipe and stabs. She then gives me my morning greeting and tells me not to listen to anyone about the meds. I let her know that Bubba will be in the house next weekend and she cracks up. Nico looks annoyed again and I tell him Master Bubba will be at the club. He still looks annoyed and this might be the end of the Master Bubba curse. I ask them to go away and turn to the computer to start at 8am. Anne leaves, Nico doesn’t. Jared sails in with the new programs for the three new companies as the new flow charts come off my printer. Nico looks somewhat impressed and Jared looks at him with the expression, you haven’t been impressed yet.
