Put up the lattice today and replaced the screen on the back door. Both the downstairs door and the closet door now have locking doorknobs. Pulled the broken glass out of Jenny’s window and was about to put the new piece of glass in when I realized I picked up the wrong size 
uggghhh!! So hopefully this week on one of my lunch hours I’ll run back over to Menards and exchange the one that I got for a little bit larger one. Dang nab it I almost completely had the house ready to go.
Cats went to the vet this morning, all caught up on shots in that regard. Abby had a community service project first thing this morning too, helped out at the Emporia Gardners’ Annual Plant Sale.
Jonny has been copping an attitude the last couple weeks and just simply trying to drive everyone batty. Finally today it finally came out.. . . sort of smile to myself because my head went in several directions however I hadnt even thought of the direction that supposedly is cause to his sour mood. His biological father told him about 2 weeks ago that he had finally gotten his drivers license. He hasnt had a drivers license since 1990 or so and honestly I dont know whether or not to believe him. The cost on insurance alone will be several thousands of dollars for 6 months and he needed to have 5 affidavits signed that he had not drank in at least 5 years then he needed to have approval to get his license back, go thru a special board that must approve folks that have had a serious history of driving while intoxicated. I dont know if I believe it or not really. . . . and it has Jonny all discombobulated. His dad told him he wants to come down here this summer and tho in some ways Jonny does want to see him, this is his place, his safety net and in some ways he doesnt really want his dad to come down here and invade this place. Part of it is embaressment, part of it is fear, part of it is he doesnt trust or believe most of what his dad tells him . , . . and rightfully so because so often his father has said things to him and then doesnt fall thru, he makes all these grand plans of what he wants to do for Jonny and gets Jonny all excited about it and then poof, nothing.
Anyways finally today he spilled the beans, well was forced to spill the beans so to speak. I am very grateful for the relationship we have, that he at least felt somewhat comfortable telling me what had been buggy him – course I didnt leave him much of a choice either 
, . . still, he doesnt want to talk to me about these feelings, doesnt feel comfortable talking to me so we came to sort of a compromise on it. He is going to begin ala-non for teens this week. I think it will do him good, give him an outlet to deal with some of these feelings that he has about his dad in hopefully a safe place with others that have or are going thru the similar things. I dont know what else to do. He needs an outlet somewhere, he cant keeep stuffing this stuff.
