2005 Story Set
| Date: November 17, 2005 First rule - when you start eating cheese and tapioca, and then cottage cheese - means you forgot to take your Calcium pills you bad girl you. When walking around your house stark naked - be sure you have hung drapes, or at least curtains - even if the Santa Ana winds and heat have driven everyone indoors - the neighbors are not that far away and the fence is not that high------or your boobs that low. God Bless my 22-year-old through-the-wall Sears room air conditioners - I would be dead and buried without them! (It can hit 146 on the ground). A cat in a strange environment yowls and complains when you shut the door. (I was in my office - he climbed on my pillow and called me.) Taking a shower with a cat in the strange house is an experience. (He didn't want the door shut) If I had a pole - my laminate floors would be dusted - Ranger has rolled over all of them. Using my foot takes too long. (Little Bit is hiding in her carrier in the small bathroom but I am sure she will emerge the first time I flush the toilet.) You are tired when you try to brush your hair with a paint brush. You are tired when you try to brush your teeth with a tube of something that belongs somewhere else------ best not described! You are tired when hunting for clean underwear consumes your waking moments to the exclusion of food, drink, rest and clothing in general. A woman can hook up a washing machine - now if I hadn't left the soap in Fremont -----. I just need a clothes line - in this wind - 30 minutes drying time - tops (We slung one off the back balcony before. I could just lay them on the railing.) My dishes are calling me - I am pretending to be deaf. I should water the grounds - but it would evaporate before it hit the ground. I wanted to go to the movies but I missed the matinee. Tomorrow - I promise - right after I find my bedroom door. Never, ever tell a painter they can leave the doors in the garage since you plan to replace them ------ HA! What year was that?????? 1993??? By 3AM, I knew where that door was. I need an electrician (all outlets need replacing and a couple of things need repair) and a plumber (for the gas dryer). Guess the furnace can wait!!!!!! I sleep under a down comforter in flannel at night (yes - we can drop that much in a couple of hours) - prob not tonight however. When the post office has a hold on mail - it takes an act of congress to remove it! Sigh! Now I am naked I can't go get my bills - ha ha he he ho ho. Why does Ranger want to sit in my office window in a house FULL of windows?? Why is he eyeing the front door when he has so much left to discover? With 3000 sq feet full of interesting things (like boxes) - why is he rubbing my feet? He is currently laying on the floor of my office (where the computer is) (where I am), of course. Silly cat! I missed the writing contest but was asked to be a judge - oh well. I contacted the writing group down here - January next meeting (Nov 19th I will be up North). If I cook a turkey in this place it will be a miracle. My son Chuck thinks I perform them. He wants an apple pie. Oh Lord! I am thinking about brownies----. Not for Thanksgiving. For tonight. OR those week-old Crispy Cremes. Microwave. Ummmm. (30 seconds is too long for a Crispy Creme. Try 10. Trust me. Bleah.) Time for OPRAH and to see what frozen dinner yuck I want for supper - after I take my Vitamin pills and set my unruly now-dark hair. I think I can get across the garage that far----freezer in a corner in the dark -- . That's one way to keep me out of the Hagen Daz. Of course, someday, I may learn to spell that. |
