Wind gusts today made me feel quite like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, typical of this time of year - Spring is blowing in with full force! These gail force winds tore loose some siding which is now hanging precariously from the topmost floor of the condo building...it seems to be in prime position to decapitate an innocent passerby (hopefully my neighbor) as it seems to be made of cheap metal/plastic, so I hurry by and encourage Chloe not to dilly-dally with her "business". We are due for some storms as the humidity continues to rise and the temperature difference between today and tomorrow will hover around 20 degrees. God bless surge protectors. And umbrellas for that matter.
Today was a typical day living next to the drug dealer. Strange cars (one of which is a Land Rover, that I am convinced is stolen), maniacal laughter, smoking meat (or heavens knows what), and way too many people in a one bedroom house to stay within "occupancy codes". Alas they are still here and I wait anxiously for the glorious day that they are evicted, back to that which they came - Illinois.
Breadsticks were in no short supply today, thanks to Olive Garden and their miracle of endless salad and breadsticks. I have surely consumed enough carbs to last me a month...and I am sure to consume more within the next 48 hours. Stay strong pancreas, stay strong.
Now to continue on with my most recent reading adventure The Angels Game, quite the unique novel de Barcelona. Chalk full of strange characters and an even stranger plot line. I am thankful that the days of reading over-priced school textbooks are behind me! Now I can lavish in my "freedom of reading choice" and devour as much of the fictional word as I please.
