Nice neighbors

A few days later and it seems that all is not lost. The neighbors I really liked didn't actually put my barking dog or me on the wanted list. In fact, they didn't hear the dog. Or even tap dancing children. Of course, they are a bit older and he was a fighter pilot, but still. The cranky neighbors down the hall assured me it must have been a bigger dig they complained about when I offered my apologies. I assured them that my little dog feels big and that I believed the problem would be solved, although it was sadly only after two months of inconveniencing them. Not much for them to say to all that and a Have a nice evening to boot...Next stop the neighbors I find to be friendly but busy and elusive. I won't spend too much time trying to catch up with them though. I think I am ready to close the door on all of the drama. Much better to dwell on the good. And there is good. Because there is always good.

My neighbors who were horrified that a nice girl like me had been tormented by the property manager called him and told him not to leave any impression that they were in this with him. I was told to keep my barking dog for protection and not to let grumpy neighbors get the best of my muffin toting self. Of course, I can't really let the dog harass the neighbors, but it is awfully nice to have a cheerleader. Usually, my mother in law fills that rolse, but she's been sick.

Also on the plus side, I think we found a live candidate for a babysitter. Thsi one arrives on time, doesn't fusge with her arrival and departure times or spend two hours telling my DS he's adorable and slighting the princess. I'm still not sure what happened there, but hose of you who know the DD will know that sh is not usually curled up near fetal ignoring someone who might be charmed, entertained or provide enertainment. All she could say afterwards was I know I'm not a baby, but do people have to ignore me? so much for that one... but now, it appears we have a winner. And she has daytime availability! Yay! If this homeschooling is going to work, I have to figure out how to put on my oxygen mask.

More pluses: Today was day one of Angel Tree shopping. It's my number one all time favorite way to celebrate a holiday any holiday actually. However, there aren't so many trees in July, so I find them in Novemeber and January. And just like wherever you live, there are always plenty to be found. Here in town, I can walk to two. That goes back to earlier pluses...walking and biking :)

So as you can see, my hormones have stabilized and the sun still shines. Oh alright, not at 11:41 at night. Which reminds me, it's time to turn out the lights.
May your joy overflow!
