8:35 a.m. - It's nice to have a day off - first day of Spring Break. I really haven't been productive so far, but that's okay. I'm not going to beat myself up about that, but I am going to get productive now.
2:01 p.m. - I just got home from taking a 40-minute walk in at Loud Thunder on the Bridle Trail. I want to try to get 30 minutes of exercise sometime before either officiating, umpiring, or exercising in the evening. I would prefer 30 minutes in the morning after I wake up and get a stretch, but I'll take whatever I'm able to get. I also stopped and picked up some kitty litter and bottled water and Dollar General in Milan - dang that place is yucky. Prior to all of that I went to Aledo and filled propane tanks for the camper and for the grill. One of the tanks for the camper didn't need to be filled, and the whole thing cost $44. I think the lesson learned today is that the propane usage is pretty slow; I'd be surprised if we go through both tanks in a season, and to do that we would have to run the furnace heater a lot. After the run to Aledo, my intention was to go into Moline and pay off what balance to a collection agency from an issue I ran into with my ex-wife. It's too much of a frustrating story to share here, but basically I used the $1,400 stimulus check to pay off that collection agency...ugh, don't get me started. The unfortunate part was that I could have just called and done it without the trip into Moline. I figured I would have to go in and find out the balance and write a check. They weren't accepting in-person payments (presumably due to COVID), but the could do it over the phone. So from the parking lot at H&R Accounts, I took care of the stupid balance. GRRRR. I wonder how those collection agencies make their money...do they only give the company they represent a portion of the actual money it is owed? That has to be it.
