Wednesday

I can't believe this.  The neighbor who snubbed me a couple of days ago started chatting me up today because she needed help figuring out her scanner.  Talk about moxie.  Told her I couldn't help her.  Last night I called her on the building intercom to tell her she left her car window open, She starts telling me that I could have closed it for her.  Even though I kept telling her I thought she had electronic windows, she kept telling me I could have just rolled them up.  NO.  I thought she had electronic windows which means you need to start the car to close them.  Didn't realize they were the roll-up kind.   Then she starts saying how the alarm was set anyhow.  Doesn't have a clue, does she?

It was quite cool here this morning, only 19.  So we stayed close to home.  Didn't know if it was going to rain as it was quite cloudy all morning.  Not a very exciting vacation, but better than none.

Not much else to say.  Knees are hurting (damn arthritis), so I am going to take a couple of Tylenol and head to bed soon.

I have neighbours like that right next door. We haven't had anything to do with in years, but then they don't have anything to do with anyone in the street. This morning there was an ambulance out the front. I suppose they could use some assistance now, he is in his eighties and she her seventies. Their children rarely visit. Sometimes it is difficult doing someone a good turn. In the cities here people just walk past others who could obviously do with some assistance, too afraid of repercussions to help I suppose. 19 would be good 5 - 6 this morning here, sun is out but still chilly. Years ago our boys had a basketball hoop above the garage door (I live in a cul-d-sac up the end in the turning part so all the houses are stepped back, our garage is in line with their front door)the ball used to go over their fence into their fenced off back yard. I would tell the boys just go to the front door, be polite and ask if it would be alright if they went into the back and retrieved the basketball. The lady was very rude to them (what do you want type of comment when she opened the door) eventually he started to throw the ball back over the fence and it had splits???? in it which he said the dog had done (small scottish terrier). Ross said he had slashed it with a knife he thought. After the demise of a few balls Ross relocated the hoop around the back (not as good a position though) and we haven't had anything else to do with them. No arguments, just don't communicate. Can't be bothered with people like this.

Uhhh, the crazy person wanted you to go into her car and close the window? Who in their right mind does that? You were being considerate to let her know, and a normal person might have simply said thanks...

Sorry that you have to deal with these people :(

What can I say? She has 2 sons, both moved to the other side of the world as soon as they finished school and rarely come home. I've known her for over 20 years. She is the type of person you don't tell anything to unless you want the whole city to know about it. Every few years I've had to step back from her as she just sucks the energy out of you. This year I have had it with her hot/cold attitude. And of course she knows everything and you know nothing, when you can get a word in edgewise.

It has been a strange day, weather wise.  Woke up to pouring rain, then beautiful sunshine, the pouring rain again.  Weird.  I am really missing Mumbushi this week.  Loved that little guy.  FB is getting a little weird.  We had a really nice group, then it grew.  In some ways it is a little better, in some ways, I liked the group we had.  Can you tell I don't like change too much?  I think I am just feeling too sentimental tonight.  Missing all my babies and can't wait to see them.  Mumbushi was only with us a short time, but he touched a lot of lives.  I am so sorry I never got to meet him.  Oh, Lord, the tears are starting. A little upset tonight.  Maybe I am being a little petty, but I don't care.  My son's girlfriend's family want to throw a birthday party for him tomorrow.  This is great.  However, for his birthday, he borrowed my car to go to a wedding, and stayed there overnight.  Just came back this evening, so no time to really do anything for him.  Now t

Ah, another week has gone by.  16 days left before I leave.  I realized today that it is not traveling that I am nervous about.  I think I have this fairy tale opinion of Africa that I had had since I was a kid.  I have dreamed of going for so long.  But with all that's going on, my views have shattered.   I always thought of Africa as deep jungles, lost rivers and exotic locations.  Maybe it was like that when I was a kid, but that was 45 years ago.  A lot changes in that time. Back to work tomorrow.  The weekend was a complete write-off.  Pouring rain, cold, miserable.  But I got a lot done.  Washed all the bedding from the guests last week.  So everything is good. Long weekend next week.  Our Thanksgiving.  I am invited to the "future in-laws??" for dinner.  Am looking forward to it.  Such a great family.  I am so glad Greg met Allie.  She is a wonderful girl (woman). Anyhow, I am all packed.  I think I have my luggage at the good weight.  I had to fix one of my

Have been doing a lot of thinking tonight.  I realize I can hold a grudge.  In my life, I have been abandoned by 2 mothers and a father.  However both mothers decided to come back into my life around the same time.  And it was a case of "let's forget about what was and there was nothing in the middle".  Everything is normal, we go on as if nothing happened.  Excuse me, but FUCK THAT.  I am not going to forget everything and just act like everything is normal.  I hate swearing, but there are a few times when it is warranted and this is one of them. Sorry for the rant.  It just really ticks me off that they expect me to be available when they decide to show up, like it's a family obligation.  There has never actually been a family situation. O.k. I have gotten it out of my system.  Deep breaths.  Relax.  Done. How are all my friends today?  Hope you are having a great week.  Just took Kayla for her walk.  We had a storm a little earlier this evening and when we we
