Wonders Never Cease

I was surprised to get an email from Cory at Century Link. He apologized for the upgrade fiasco and is providing feedback to the sales team so that other customers will be advised of the lapse in service when upgrading DSL lines. He also credited the account for a month of DSL service.

Last night I had dinner at Avenue Grill with Barbara, Cindi and Cindi’s new man toy, Joel. Project Angel heart was having their annual Dinning Out For Life fundraiser. Over 300 restaurants donated 25% of their food sales to Project Angel Heart which provides meals for people with life threatening diseases. Barbara told us about her resent trip to Paris. Cindi filled us in on her work dramas. All of us shared stories of our aging parents and their health issues. It was a great time but I was glad to get home and kick off my shoes as my day started at 5 a.m.

K stopped a burglar climbing into his bedroom window the other night in St. Louis. He was awaked by the noise of the burglar wrestling with the blinds and curtains. Thankfully, the burglar ran away when K got out of bed.

Bitch across the street (BATS) put her house on the market two days after telling me she was listing the house in July. BATS listed the hours for about 75k more than what it is worth. Bats also had her husband tell the new neighbors not to park in front of her house. Apparently, she doesn’t like people parking in front of house unless they are her guests. BATS delivered another monologue when I was working in the yard last week. She crossed the street to tell me she had a showing and to complain about the language school students parking on our street. I listened to her blab on and on until she rushed back to her house in order to leave before the prospective buyers arrived. BATS didn’t give me a chance to speak. I’ll be happy to see her move. Sheila thinks BATS is an insecure woman whose identity is defined by her husband’s wealth and socially prominent name. That’s probably a good synopsis.

There’s a rumor circulating around the neighborhood that the recently resigned HOA President is not going to proceed with building his house and is selling the lot. That’s just great. Now we have an empty lot surrounded by a construction fence on our street. I wish he hadn’t scrapped off the house he bought. I think the property would be easier to sell with the house.

We had thunderstorms last night. The early morning hours were cool and cloudy. It was so hard to get up this morning when the alarm went off at 5:30. I wanted to pull the covers over my head and sleep a few more hours.
