Week in Review.....

I've had some stage based disease for nearly 2 weeks.
Scratchy throat
Post nasal Drip
Stuffy nose
Calm before storm "normalcy"
Coughing stage one
Coughing stage Two (crossing legs)
Coughing stage three (pulling muscles/hacking up lung)
Coughing/humiliating self in Costco gaging
I found that a product called Mucus Relief works wonders even if it does sound gross...the mucus is Gross.

I got that under control when the heat wave struck - the deadly HHHs and *I* had to find a new tenant. What part of :"is everything working ok up there?" did she not understand? The garbage disposal had a leak...the hole on the side of the disposal looking like it needed the little Dutch boy's finger was a real clue. Most of the lights were burned out and I needed a crowbar to pull on the faucet in the bathroom. Maybe she was stronger than I.

Anyway, thanks to Craigslist VT, we have a new tenant who is, again, young, female and a little innocent, I think, BUT but very responsible and up front about what she could and could not afford and I thought she needed a break AND I didn't want to send her and her meager finances off to some sleazy hole in the wall. I think she will be just fine in Our sleazy hole in the wall. The fact that she is a vet tech and would take care of the kitties was a plus. I knew there was a reason none of the first few prospective tenants was "it" for me.

So we survived the heat - it's a little better today. I finished reading Harry Potter - forever I guess.

Oh and we had some excitement last night. We heard and saw nothing until the 2 police cruisers were lighting up the neighborhood next door but we still ran out in our jammies to check on our neighbors Duane and Tonie. Fortunately, they were just fine but apparently some young man was "trying out" another young man's brand new dirt bike - @ 11 pm, please, and had a little confrontation with the tree between the yards. (No, not Morgan's tree, the other side of the yards) Hhmmm......ouch....road rash is painful, I suspect.

The sisters are coming to spend the week today. Greg's going to Seattle, I'm going to hang out here and..and...oh yeah there are fireworks Tuesday night as part of the National Night Out celebration.

All in all..a fun time has been had by all..sort of. Have a good week all

I hope you're feeling better.

We're in the mist of a heatwave with next week supposedly the hottest week of the year.

I hope this tenant works out for you. How long did you have the other one? I wonder why she didn't tell you what was wrong.

I hope you're having a good summer. Any visits to CT?

L, DA

Hope you are feeling better, and I'm sorry I dropped out of sight for awhile. I had a "cyberstalker" dogging me, someone I knew almost twenty years ago! I have a new blog, and am adding you to my new blogroll.
