I have no idea what my cholesterol is, nor my bp when I'm not in a lot of pain (then it is kinda high, but pain!)

So I came home to a notice that the city will be replacing the sidewalks on my street starting sometime this week. I'm excited! Our are all buckled and uneven and while probably not as old as the hood, at least 4 decades.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

New sidewalks are exciting! We need them too, but I think we might have to pay for them

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm glad you're there and got to talk to him, Lee.

Have I mentioned that I am not in favor of mortality? I am not.

Completely bailing on the idea of running today. Watching Sleepy Hollow instead.

I know if you request sections of new sidewalk, or have to destroy a section, they'll bill you for replacement, but not if it is part of the normal replacement schedule.

Or if the cause of damage is city trees. Which is largely the problem here.

The damage to my sidewalk is from city trees, but I think I would still need to pay for it.

That is adorbs! I haven't seen the series, but I read enough of the books to understand.

City code actually says explicitly that if their trees (=betwixt sidewalk and street,which is considered their property,) their problem. However, my neighbors have been calling FOR YEARS about the sidewalks and no response. Figure this is part of a larger plan.

You aren't even supposed to privately prune their trees, city job. Took Anna 3 years before the city pruned our tree. (Now we have a standing call-every-year, keep us in whatever queue, but we also prune it ourselves so it doesn't hang over our porch roofs.)
