Sheldon Construction has been installing the sewer in my neighborhood. I'm sure they do an excellent job, but they leave destruction in their wake.
Over the span of two weeks, this is what occured:
1. Early one morning Sheldon Const. cut my cable line in two. (The cable company later tried to charge me two service fees because they didn't make good notes on the problem)
2. A few days later, Sheldon Const. hit a water line. When I came home, I had air/mud in my lines for several hours. I probably have some leaks now although I'm not yet aware.
3. A few days after that, Sheldon Const. knocked out the power to eight homes in my area.
4. Two days later nature (NOT Sheldon Const) happened upon my house. I was on my bed when I saw lightning strike my house seven feet away at my window. My phone/internet was knocked out for 2 1/2 days.
5. Five days after the lightning strike, Sheldon visited me again. I came home Thursday night to find my cable line had been ripped off my house! haha Cable came out on the 4th of July and fixed it.
I only have one untouched utility: GAS
Let's hope nothing happens there...we would not want that

I got a Holter Monitor put on yesterday. I have to wear it for 24 hours. I can take it off today at 2:13 PM
I hope it caught my heart doing crazy stuff! I do NOT want to have to wear this monitor again. It was only for 24 hours, but it was a real pain. I couldn't sleep well because I was worrying about it all night lol

Willows Mourn

Music: Willows Mourn
We met upon a mossy lane
‘Neath many a shady tree.
We walked about and spoke of life
As it were meant to be.
My love and I, our lives were one
He took my heart that day.
I ne’r again need walk alone
We’d be wed right away.
My love, then spoke those sad’ning words
I so yearned not to hear
He said to war he must then go
But that I should not fear
My love so long did fight so true;
My heart in constant pain.
Then one grey day I sensed the shock;
Knew it’d not be the same.
The shot that brought him down that day;
Surely, it pierced my heart.
Right then I knew I mustn’t live
Lest we be kept apart.
But on that night, he came to me,
Said there, I should remain.
Alas I felt that this was wrong;
My love I’d not refrain.
So out I went into the night
In search of his dear soul
And now my spirit roams these woods
The Willows sing my song.
Green willows mourn this day
And whisper this sad tune
A song of love and loss it be
Until our great reun’n

Gimme Back My License Plate!

I can't believe my luck! haha
I just noticed that my license plate is gone!
I do not remember it being gone last night, but it was possibly stolen from my driveway. Or, it may have been stolen from the parking garage at my office building...or across campus in another staff lot.
I called the police and told them I was not sure where it was stolen and was informed that I could only make a report in the city in which it was stolen! haha So I was like "yeah...it was stolen in *this* city"
I'm still waiting now for the police to call me back to take my report over the phone. It's been about two hours now...I hope they call soon lol.
I don't want to get home tonight and hear of "the get-away car had the license tag XXX### and seems to be registered to My Name" lol

Bomb Scare!

I was diligently working at my desk when I heard a voice from the hall saying we had to evacuate the building immediately.
We all scattered out, yelling out a warning into the bathrooms as we passed. Outside, we heard there was a suspicious package near the front door. It was described as a long, tall brown bag partially open. Someone else had said it was a "package."
Most emergency services were in attendance for this grand event: Firemen, Policemen, and Bomb Squad! We stood at the far corner of the back parking lot....waiting...waiting then BOOM!
Geese, ducks, and heron were startled into flight in all directions. The bomb squad had exploded the package.
The inquisitive went to the front of the building and discovered the tattered remains of...what??? what is that??? It looks like napkins? Yes! Smoothie King napkins!
Turns out that the Smoothie King man had dropped the package of napkins as he was leaving after bringing refreshments to our nursing department.
What an exciting afternoon that was.
