VISUALIZATION

194.4  Today's weight

I visualize weighing less tomorrow

EXERCISE

My excuse for not doing any exercise is that I'm not up or down significantly in weight, so I'm "OK" - not good reasoning, but it's where I am right now.

READING, WRITING

Nothing again today

**********

My routine commitment is a disaster for the last few days.

But at least I can do my notes about where I am right now.

There are 2 sources of "big money" that David is expecting.  

1)  The "turn-2" money that Michael Harrington has been "promising" will arrive - "next week, Tuesday latest," or some such, for YEARS now.  

And 2) the money from the sale of David's Aconda Mine property, which a representative (Susan Thomas) has also been promising will be forthcoming for 4+ months.  However, David says that SHE has told Michael that the "down payment" of 5MM will be paid by the end of this month (June).

I'm - AGAIN - led to ask ..... WHY do all the people David and Michael are dealing with CONTINUE to delay action????????  This has been the same, no matter with WHOM they are "negotiating."

David asks himself the same question.

A few years ago, David was told by his associate (I believe it was Michael H) that he should go ahead and pick out a house to buy - they were "that sure" that things would soon move forward.  David and Jeannie DID, in fact, put some money down on a house.  But since no "big money" was forthcoming, they LOST the money they had put down.  David's associates were gracious enough to replace the lost money, which was a godsend for them, since money was extremely tight.

So now, David is again talking about buying a new home for them to retire in - and this time, I'm pretty sure he will NOT put any money down until the mine has sold 100%.  At least, I HOPE he doesn't do that.

Jeannie has a job now (they need it to keep going), and has said she'll quit when the mine is sold, BUT NOT BEFORE.  I'm glad to know that.  I had said the same sort of thing about leaving Dr. Pruitt's employ, about 2 years ago.  (But I DID leave, in part, due to the bed bug infestation in Pomona, and at his apartment, which spread to my Winnetka condo.... and also, in part, because I really did believe that David and I would be moving forward at that time).

So now, here we are today:

1. David's talking about getting a $5MM down payment next week from the buyers.
2. David's talking about investing a sizable chunk of the money HE will get (roughly $3MM) in
3. ... a reinvestment, high yield opportunity that Michael has told him about (I'm a bit leary about this)
4. ... a new house in SLC
5. ... an initial "stab" at humanitarian giving through me, which would include The Lavender Effect.
6. .... catch-up payments to me by Michael H (which should come from MICHAEL'S money - not David's)
7. David's talking about setting up a new Foundation (which I THINK he referred to as "Crescent Investments," an entity we've talked about reviving ever since he approached me about "all this.")  At any rate, we'll network to find humanitarian groups/entities with which we'll want to deal; we'll look at Bill Gates' model and possibly pattern our efforts after his.
   

This has been worthwhile, to write the above.  Clarify my thinking.  Try to get a handle on where we are, and how things will go - NEXT WEEK!  YES, I'm in the same position I've been in for several years - anticipating that what David's told me will REALLY happen by next week.

Again, WE'LL SEE
