HOLIDAY

With my week off last week, I am very much behind at work. I really should work tomorrow. But I'm not:)

Turtle Abuse

Since I have been here and there the past two weeks, I have neglected Chips. So last night, I took him out of his tank and let him crawl around the apt. He was happy( I think). He was very open to me petting the top of his nose/head. And liked laying on my chest (guess he is partial to fur like me :). I also cleaned out his tank, filter and all. Now he is a happy camper (I think). Good thing they can go without food for a month, then I would really be in trouble. Today in addition to his dry pellets, he will get some tuna (yum!).

my trainer

1. Called and said to forgo the last half of payment due him, since I missed last week. How nice, but I will pay him something.
2. We start workouts tomorrow
3. His uncle is sending him $8000 (money owed or some estate thing). He asked me if he should pay off his car
4. I told him don't put all the eggs in one basket. Maybe pay his car with his pay checks, and add some from the 8K. That way he can pay off his car faster. Why pay the whole bunch off (8K), on an item that is depreciating every day.
5, Then he can invest some of it in a no risk CD, money market, and save for a rainy day
6. Since this money is coming from the UK, I wonder if he will be taxed?
7. I hope that was the right thing to tell him. He needs to buy a computer first!
