The Saga Ends

The tow truck guy saga has finally ended!! He called this afternoon about 12:30 pm. He wants to get the car. I told him we had to move it last night so it wouldn't be towed. He says I can be there in 20 minutes. I tell him fine, then I notice.....the title and keys I set on my table are gone!!! OMG! Gil took them to work. I admit I got pretty angry at that point. Why the heck did he think I put them right there?!? So phone tag time. Tow truck dude is supposed to come right over just to make sure we're not scamming him. HA! He'll be here in a few minutes.

Me and my crippled self has to walk 10 minutes to get the parking lot where we deposited the car last night to avoid having it towed by the HOA this afternoon. 45 minutes later I couldn't take it anymore. The wind was really blowing today. While it feels great for "normal" people, it sends my pain spiraling up. I can no longer enjoy such a simple pleasure. The wind combined with my having to stand around and the walking was too much. I head for home cursing his sorry butt all the way. Just as I arrive at my gate, my legs decide they want to do the rumba! *sigh* Great.....I just love walking on what amount to two wet noodles. I get inside,collapse on the couch in tears and call hubby. He felt so bad because he couldn't do anything for me.

Dude finally did show up at Gil's work, got the key so he could put it on the truck, back to Gil's job to get the title and hand over the moola. It's done, over, fini! The only price left to pay is the pain from what I did for nothing today.

On to happier subjects. Connor pulled a fast one on us tonight. They always come in when it gets dark. We had thought Connor was in the daughter's room. The last time we saw him, he was in her arms being taken up to her room. I called to Shanni, Gil went out to round her up. Obviously we didn't give Connor a thought so Gil didn't see him out there. I got up to go to the bathroom about half an hour ago. As I was going back to the couch I was turned toward the screen door talking to Gil. I saw a flash of white outside. I said, "What the....??" Mr. Sneaky was in the process of slinking across the courtyard! LOL He saw me at the screen and I swear I could hear him say, "Oh crap, I'm busted!" Looking a bit guilty he immediately came inside as soon as I opened the screen. Next time we do the nightly round up we'll be sure to look closely for both of them.

I turned in my first article today. :-D The first 3 have to be reviewed before they're published. I hope it doesn't take too long. I'm rather excited to see my very first article officially published! I'm going to write another tonight. Being a good writer I let it sit then go back to re-read it looking for typos, extra words or ways to improve it. I found ways to do just that with this first one earlier today.

On that note, I'm off to do a bit of research and get the next article written!
