oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

DH just left for the airport. He came back inside because, he is not sure if I can get my car out of the drive way . A city tree has dropped a branch on one of our wires -- probably the cable wire. Everything is working, because I had to test it. Meanwhile -- the car has decided to run and skid all over the house , including tables. stuff has flown.

I as so hoping for two more hours of sleep.

sarameg, if they are starting them so early, I hope they are done before you get home.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

cat, not car, right?

took the slow train in so I could get a seat and read. I had taken a long break from reading, but completed a mystery last week and may just get through another one this week.

“Not dead yet!”

Sweetie, I dearly hope you mean the cat has decided to run and skid all over the house.

sara, jackhammers before 7AM is fundamentally WRONG on so many levels.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

A couple of years ago, we endured several months of bridge re-building two houses away -- it was mitigated by the contractors being unusually careful -- like, for instance, you could set your watch by the jackhammers starting up at 8 AM promptly. They were also good about making sure we knew when there would be Big Equipment coming in so we could move our cars and so on.

Just one more reason why I like Somerville! Which comes down on the asses of city contractors if they don't behave....

No, it will not be done when I get home. This started in September, mind you. And then they didn't do anything for a month after the first round of tear up the street and break gas lines. I expect more of the latter, anyway. Got a faint whiff of gas walking down the street this morning (I have to park a block over.)

Yes, i meant cat, not car.

I'm not supposed to be up yet.

Ha. I just read on the cities web site -- they no longer maintain 'street trees'. It is the homeowners responsibility. Hopefully this counts as a tree hazard.

In other feline news, I found a Very Dead mouse on the landing this morning. All three cats seem happy to take credit, but Chumley in particularly is now haunting the landing in case the ex-mouse returns.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, they put disinfectant stuff (like Purel but foamy and "enriched") in all of the elevator lobbies here at work. I tried it this morning, and it just made me have to wash my hands and use lotion. I think I will stick to washing my hands from now on.

Happy birthday, Burrell and Calli - a day late.

I'm very glad Tommy's cat is ok!! And very happy Tommy is not smooshed dead by the clueless driver! Sheesh.

According to my books, the inner ear bones have developed and the baby can now hear me! So I celebrated by buying this yesterday to read to my belly.
