from Sherry.........
Boy, this has been one rough week. I would say I will be glad when it is over but next week is really going to be crazy busy...so I don't know. I have got to remember to call Monday morning and move the pulmonologist appointment back a couple weeks or so. No way can I cram that in this week, but I have to get Bo in for his rabies shot which means baths for the dogs first as they really need them...so I guess that will be tonight after dark or Monday. If I don't get to the grocery store, I am going to be sucking my thumb for lunches. I might end up with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I'm not sure.
The city is after me again. GRRR. It isn't grass this time like it was at the other house. That would be easy. Somebody supposedly complained about the boxes in my carport which means I have to make room in the house for them and move everything out there into the house (which is a joke as there is no room in here either) or else I have to rent a storage place or put up another storage building. The thing is that stuff has been there for 3 or 4 years and nobody has said a word. According to them you can see it from the street. You really can't see much of it unless you go right up in the driveway to the pool fence and look over the fench because the carport is very shaded. But if I don't watch it I will end up in court again. which I really do not want or need. Oh yes, there is a 4th option. I can get a trap door and install it in the attic in the laundry room or have somebody do it for me and then I can lug the boxes up there. That might not be too bad of an option because then I could put some of the boxes in some of the rooms around here up there. Its just weird because the next door neighbor has cars with no wheels, a trailer with 2 flat tires, and a lot of washers and dryers he is trying to sell in his front yard and driveway....so I have no clue. I know this sounds paranoid, but sometimes I think that when the city is running low on complaints, the inspectors drive around looking for violations to justify their jobs as in they have to have so many complaints a week and if they don't, they look for some. It sure does seem like that, but it may not be. I really wish I could pick up the house and the pool and the lot and move them all to some other city. I am really sick and tired of Phoenix but I don't see why I should have to move from the house I grew up in, so I guess I will just have to deal with and try to vote the mayor out of office ASAP. He is terrible!!!! Oh how I wish I could live in Pisgah Forest NC and work and go to church in Phoenix (like that is going to happen LOL). It was so nice living out in the country, but the job situation is soooo awful in that little town...actually the whole county. We lived like 10 miles outside the town. I know I am paranoid to start with this week because of Mike showing up again. That always unnerves me.
And....my auto insurance has been with the same company ever since I was a little kid basically. My parents had their insurance with this lady's parents and in all these years, they have been wonderful to me when I was in that accident, when Gregg's nephew was in an accident in my truck, everything. I have been paying my bills online for months or years with no problem. All of a sudden there is a problem where things aren't being credited to my account....so I get this cancellation notice that says if I don't pay the rest of the 6 months premium by the end of November they will cancel the insurance. Well, I could mail it but I don't want to wait in the post office line to get the certification and return receipt stuff done and I won't mail it to Dallas without proof that they received it. But instead of that, I am going to try to stop by the office after work on Monday. I'm sure we will have overtime all week again except Wednesday which is the day we are working our holiday. I'm hoping she can straighten this out. I also sent her an e-mail, but I doubt she answers it before I get to her office.
Anybody want to help me tear my hair out (LOL)????
I need to go clean the church after work today as I didn't get it done yesterday after all this. I was too upset to go out. It was a little much for a Friday, which is the day when I am always tired and end up going to bed early. I might be scarce on the board in the afternoon next week. It would be great if we didn't have to work the holiday as I could spend that day working on it, but we aren't off, so not much I can do about it. At least we shouldn't get overtime which would be double time. This has to be finished by next Friday, so I may not get much else done this done this week and I am going to be exhausted. Our friend was going to lay the laminate in the living room, dining room and hallway this week but that had to go on the back burner because he will have to help me. I will probably have to make a trip or two to the dump and then the rest of the stuff will have to go somewhere temporarily while I go through it. I guess I know what I will be doing tomorrow after church!
Sorry to be on such a tirade. I will get through it I'm sure, but it sure is frustrating. Why can't they bother the criminals and drug pushers and stop Mike from harrassing me instead of treating me like I am a criminal? GRRRR.
How is everybody else doing today. I hope better than me. I have to get going on my cup of coffee here.
I did get to bed at 8:30 and slept well. Not sure what is for dinner. Might pick up something so I have more time to deal with working on the carport. Will try to work on putting the pool chemicals into the back room. Won't have a lot of time before it gets dark to do a lot of things. Might be able to get one bag out to the trash.
My mind is not functional enough yet to think of much to say.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and get to do something fun with your families.
My brother and his wife sent me a new three phone cordless phone set which will be great. That was my birthday present and was what I asked for. This one was really good but it is dead and the batteries won't hold a charge. Will get the friend to set that up next week some time.
Boy this has not been much of a June post today and I have to start scrambling to find something for lunch also so I need to get off of here.
