Happy Birthday, Liz Seager!
I can’t be home to join in on those celebrations for my future sister-in-law’s Mom, but hope that she’s having a happy day; and have heard that she’s getting a kid-free night as part of her celebration.
Compared to that kind of fun, my day is mostly-work with only a bit of play time on the schedule. I worked on my T.A. responsibilities all morning while Michael again took care of the chores and supply shopping. We’ll be heading to the school for the rest of the day soon; we’ll study all afternoon; and then have dinner with some of our friends and then have a bit of play time at the rec center – though that is very different this year with all of the social distancing and other restrictions. I’ll do more work after we get home tonight; and then Michael and I will hopefully get to have some hotter-rated fun whenever we get around to our bedtime!
The news I want to write about the most this morning is about Dad and the attempted mugging he had to fight off after work yesterday. We haven’t found anything from searches of Hathorne Industries – and don’t expect that, but we strongly-suspect that Gwyneth was behind the attack. Robberies and other crime does happen in Crystal Springs, and it is possible that people are just getting desperate, but let’s be honest here – a lawyer like Dad just wouldn’t be a normal target for that sort of thing. He shouldn’t have been a target for cash either, and while he has a nice truck; mugging him would hardly be the best way to steal it. Dad is sure that the ‘kids’ that attacked him were paid to do it based on some of the things he heard during the attack; and Gwyneth is the most-likely suspect.
I have been worried about the risk of Gwyneth going after my family and friends at times that I can’t help them, and if this is the first part of a new plan; we’re going to need to be ready to stop her – or whomever she sends against us. We’ll be working on that over the next week or so; and hope that we can both keep everyone safe and protect our biggest hometown secret.
I need to wrap this up and get back to the real world again, so that’s all for today.
