It's That Time of Year: My Future is Sausage Balls

Tomorrow will find us in Deer Park TX, which is as good a place as any to spend Thanksgiving Day, I suppose. My dear, sweet aunt says this year T-giving will be held at her granddaughter's house, so that's where we'll be. Tonight after Job #2 I will go buy the necessary ingredients for the sausage balls. Tomorrow morning I will make them. Tomorrow night I plan to be in a food coma. But Friday I plan on working off at least a few calories, as I plan to go on patrol!

Yesterday S took his polygraph for the Sheriff's Dept. He says they told him he passed. Mudflap and I both agree that is unfair, since we weren't told if we passed or not when we had ours, and we were sent home to worry about it. Then again, Mudflap and I both had a few youthful transgressions to be a little concerned about whereas S, except for the illegal street racing, has been mostly better behaved than us. For example, he's never done one single, solitary drug, not even one drag on a joint, which I think is quite rare. (Or maybe it's just rare amongst the people I know, but that includes my fellow deputies!!!)

Next for S is the psychological exam and then, I guess, a home visit from one of the background investigators. After that hopefully he will be good to go. He says he would like to work in the Marine Division, where I spent 2 mostly uneventful years. Well, I guess I did learn how to back a trailer and operate a Duracraft boat. Anyway, that is fine with me and I said I hoped we could work together sometime. However, it is probably not a good idea to ever work street patrol together. Most husband and wife deputies don't do this, just in case the shit goes down, which is always possible.

I have to admit, I'm not worth much today. There are only 3 of us here at Job #1 in my dept. However, I don't mind being here--as long as they don't mind that I'm not worth much today! What I'm looking forward to most the next few days is, as always: sleeping late. Oh, and reading!!! Sleeping and reading are THE best things about the holidays for me!!!
