Well, I really meant for the paper to hold the info until tomorrow comes, and the dicataphone is working again. But whatever!!

Shel - hope you weathered the ice okay. I landed flat on my back while going across the street for the mail. Head-bonk too. Owww.

Oh, Deb, I am so sorry, are you ok??

I am under strict orders not to leave the house today, after Chris nearly went down trying to get from the garage to the car in the driveway. I nearly bought it last night in the parking lot at work, though. This better thaw before Saturday, I'm going to Julie Hyzy's signing in Dekalb come hades or high water..or ice!

Dear Real Estate Agent,

If I broke the tenancy agreement in the first week, you'd be all ripping my head off and breathing fire. So don't you dare make the slightest complaint - not even a sigh - when I point out the 5 different breaches and how two of them are major fire dangers. You need a sign on the wall of your inner sanctum, "Remember, team - remove head from arse, THEN do your job!"

Regards,
Naomi

*mutter*

Sadly, they have the sign on their wall. The location of their heads, unfortunately, prevents them from reading it....

You have my condolences and best wishes, for what their worth....

Nothing too horrible. Not OMG-that's-gonna-burn-the-place-down. But the smoke alarm is legally required to be functional, and the back stairs should NOT be padlocked shut with no key available for the padlock...

Gracious - padlocked back stairs is NOT a good thing! Glad you are leaving.

As to my acrobatics, my head is starting to hurt now, but I doubt if a 20-hr delayed headache is anything to write home about. Nor necessarily related!

No, it's pretty dumb, isn't it? Scarily, this is the new place with all the problems. Not a good sign of competence from the real estate agent

Ouch! Hope it doesn't cause you any further problems.

True story: I was once arrested here in Chesapeake for cursing. It kind of astounded me, because--as I told the judge--I didn't realize I possessed that particular power. But since our legal system has more authority to judge such matters than I do, and in light of the fact that a well-known prophet is recorded to have at one time cursed a fig tree and made it wither...

Would you like me to curse the ice for you?

I come from a RAAF family. I thought every move was like that.

You will look back and laugh, I promise. Keep going, and it'll pass. ~hugs~
