Ever have one of those days? You know, the kind that seems to last forever even though you wish it was already over!
A day that starts great but it was just a joke cause it goes down hill real fast from there. Over sleep, but that’s okay cause you’ll make it up on the road to your doctor appointment. So you jump in the van speed like a demon cutting in and out through traffic, trying to avoid all those jerks that decide they need to be ahead of you on the highway, but then slow to a crawl when they pullout!! Then with the grace of God you get to the doctor’s office only to find out that they’re running an hour and a half behind schedule!! Oh lucky Me!! SO you sit and wait and as 2 hours roll around and you know you have another appointment about 30 miles away, but you haven’t eaten at all cause the Dr was going to do blood work on you that required fasting!! Ah the dilemma—- go home grab a bite and then go to the appointment that will then be a bout 40 miles away, or wait a bit longer in the Doctor’s office hoping she’ll catch up and take you in? So after rescheduling, racing home for a bite to eat and then using the facilities it is back in the vehicle and on the road again. NOW it starts to rain. Not an ordinary rain, but a horrible torrential down-pouring!! Flooding, high winds and driving rain in sheet form!! SO off we go following the directions that we received from the secretary in the office we are heading to, which of course take you over hill and dale through God’s winding but beautiful countryside, if it was sunny it would be great. Out comes the cell phone to make the all familiar, I’m sorry but I am delayed due to the inclement weather, I’ll be there shortly please accept my apologies. SO you finally get there, have your meeting, feel like you’ve accomplished not a dang thing and off you go back into the car and into now the start of rush hour traffic!! Hooray for us!! Finally we get home and are totally exhausted, its only 4:30, and are confronted with I’m hungry What’s for Dinner!! AHHHHH I say!!! “PLEASE, IF ONLY CALGON COULD TAKE ME AWAY!!

Sometimes You Just Gotta Say…
Saturday, November 11th, 2006Hear Ye Hear Ye The Castle Gets Reviewed
Wednesday, February 15th, 2006The local housing squire of the castles protection firm shall be paying us a visit this morrow. We are in for a re-assessment of the damages caused by Mother Nature’s 13 days of Fury October past. She in all of her glory has deemed the necessity to drench our castle to flooding proportions. As such we had the local masonry re-roof, re-wall, new windows and new portcullis our humble castle. Keeping with the heart, and feng shui, we went with the red, white and blue. Of course the red was the portcullis, the white was the trim and the blue the main structure and roof. Once these were completed, that left us with the flooded hallways and kitchen, leaking bedroom and bathroom. Just when we thought nothing else could moisten us further, we found that the pantry, bedroom floor and kitchen/hallway walls were all damaged and molding. This forced us to pull up the carpeting and empty the pantry’s lower quadrant of rusting, rotting, molded and damaged items. Oh the fun!! The lovely winds accompanying this storm also proved too much for our battlements and the fences failed and ultimately fell under the wakes of battle!!
So to get to the point….
In the morrow yon squire shall be here early to look at all damages we have found since the last visit of the southern knight.
My edict is that retribution be paid for the extra items, but will the firm be friend or fiend?!
