2006 Story Set
| Date: January 9, 2006 It's the pitty-pat of little roofer feet - at 6:40AM - fortunately the dumb dog decided to walk on the floor (claws tapping) and heave herself down and sigh a lot - indicating that she wanted to go pee. At 5:30AM. She still isn't eating but she stopped throwing up. And she will - if not watched - try to escape the yard again. So I was UP - sort-of - having had to walk thru the house, down two sets of stairs and out the back and pen her. And then I had to walk back, climb back up, and lay down and catch my breath. I grabbed my inhaler - I am to use it 3 times a day until ----. I also expected them to arrive today - esp they missed yesterday and I have exposed wood on the deck. They said they didn't ring the door because it was "too early" - but they felt fine STRIPPING the roof off with those big rakes like you toss hay with (forget their name - oh - pitchfork - that's the name --- duh! been out of the barn too long). WAY TOO EASILY does that roof come off!!! Felt missing under ridge line - OK - that's enough - now I am angry. I climbed the ladder - fairly high - handed the digital camera to the guy who speaks English. Getting back down was horrid - I made the mistake of looking down -----. Took some photos from the ground too. They took shots of the skylights - which are wrong skylights (both Andy and the new roofer said so). My cars are now scattered about the neighborhood. A dumpster is expected. A truck arrived. The 64 Beetle (which is being rebuilt and then some) (for $15000 - it will be worth $25000 - 30000 or thereabouts) (and be road legal and ready) isn't here yet. The van needs to be driven someplace. The truck is waiting to hop back on 5 North. I was 5000 miles late getting the Revos rotated at Wheelworks and 5000 miles late for a lube and oil at Toyota. DONE. Next service on the truck at both is 69,000 miles - ho ha - still acts like a new car (they do - they can go 300,000). If you remember to service them. My eyes are bleary. My pants sort of fit - which - at the ripe age of 64 (2 more days) - is something at least - these are good pants - not the baggy sloppy jeans. I remembered to put on a bra and long sleeves - the Santa Ana is coming and my spa is down! Boo Hoo! Maybe I should get a wading pool. I will be in a bathing suit later regardless - I have two old lady suits - with skirts - to cover the gut. ha ha ha . Old ladies can smear makeup and waddle around. Of course, once I hang the full-length mirrors and open the treadmill ---- I will embarrass myself into being better dressed and made up. Yesterday I was zonked on the sofa most of the day - and slept last night - after 5 days no rest (had some wine - it helps the leg pain). I promised myself to get back to work on the technical book and find my server guys today. OK - trash just fell outside my open office door - the sun is rising - the dog is whining. Hmmmmmm. Time to move the booty. I was thinking Narnia - think I will do that for my birthday (in two days). Missed Corpse Bride - will order DVD. Missed Aeon Flux - I have the DVD animation set. Will get that too. Colin's new Movie - Nanny McPhee is due out soon (27th) - I ain't missing that!!! He's too damn cute Why can't I find anyone like that??? |
