All’s well

It was a little after 5pm when my cell rang with a number I didn’t recognize. I was on the other line with Chicago but quickly hung up as I knew it was Jag. My intuition was right as it was him. I wasn’t sure who was around him so I asked questions that he could answer without offending anyone as I knew he wouldn’t say anything to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Things like are you having fun, are your roommates ok, is the group and teachers ok? He answered yes to all of the above and sounded like a 17 year old. So with the formalities out of the way, I asked what he’s been doing and what he’s seen. I kind of had to drag it out of him but he is clearly having a blast. Lori was still at work so I asked if he could call her on her cell. He wasn’t sure but was going to try. Thankfully he was able to do so as Mom would have been crushed if she missed him. I yelled outside for Ty but couldn’t find him and he was sad he didn’t get to talk. Saturday he said he’s sticking close to home during the time period when Jagger will get to call. I texted Mike, the school Principal who is on the trip to see if I needed to fax a copy of Jagger’s passport as I forgot to send him with a copy of his id. Mike texted back no, he doesn’t need it and also that Jagger is having a lot of fun and what a nice young man and great kid he is! That was great to hear. He also said to feel free to call him on his cell anytime if we wanted to talk to Jag. Meanwhile Lori had a good day. Her and Dr Rodgers were on the phone with the lawyer who Lori has been working with regarding her wacko predecessor. Unbeknownst to her, the lawyer told Chris how lucky she was to have Lori working for her as she has been on top of everything and is really caring and professional. Lori has never met the guy in person but talked many times to him on the phone during this whole ordeal. After the call Chris said, “wow, and this guy has never sent us a single bill”. This of course is shocking as lawyers bill by the minute! Apparently he feels so bad that this wacko lady is trying to take advantage of the situation that he has just been helping out so far without charging. He was a referral which I’m sure helped but still, my lawyer charges for even a 2 minute phone call! Anyhow Chris was really pleased and finally relaxed as she was quite nervous about all the trouble this former employee is stirring up. She finally made it home around 6:15 or so and we cooked up a salad with scallops for dinner and that was it. Mr Ty of course had hot dogs and then I took him to Dairy Queen for dessert. It’s now 5am and time for coffee. I have a call this morning after 8 and then a sales meeting across town at 10:45 and then another call at noon. Then I should be done for the weekend. Hope everyone is well, bad fires in California, still snowing in the high country on and off and also raining. Maybe a few showers down here too! Have a great weekend, God Bless.
