Son got a job

Well, Son got a job. The place where he bought his truck called him day before yesterday and he started yesterday. He's detailing cars and being a general "heyboy". You know, "Hey boy, come do this/that."

He worked 9 hours yesterday and by the time he was done, was really tired. Taking seats out of cars, scrubbing and shampooing carpets, and other cleaning duties can be pretty demanding. I'm betting he won't need any liponox to lose some weight with this job.

The bad thing is that the car place has his truck, holding it for him, until he gets his payments caught up. He'll work out what he's behind on, and they'll give him part of his pay for living from week to week. It shouldn't take long to get it all caught up so he can have his truck back, but in the meantime, I have to help him get back and forth to work.

He has to ride in with me, which is very early, wait till it's time to work, then drive my truck down there. (It's only about 2 miles from where I work.) Then, he comes to my workplace at noon for his lunch break, I take him back, and either hang out in town till he's done or come home for awhile.

Until he gets his truck back, this is going to cost me quite a bit of extra gas, it being ever more expensive all the time. Guess we'll tighten the belt and just deal with it. Not much else I can do.
