Since I’ve Been Gone

Sorry for the hiatus. Here are the highlights.

1. Went to the gorgeous outdoor wedding of a close friend. Saw some high school pals. Visited both sets of parents. Basked in the heat.

2. Met Moose. She’s my brother-in-law’s girlfriend. Witnessed the reason for the nickname. She snores — has since birth.

3. Cut off most of my hair. I’m now sporting a modern pixie. Took Alyssa Milano as my hair model. Shocked at first but now I’m into it.

4. Found one of my lost turquoise earrings. Stepped on it while tidying in the basement. Was pulling winter stuff for storage. Hooray for bare feet season.

5. Met our neighbors who don’t shovel their sidewalk. Noted that they were drunk at 1 p.m. on a Saturday. Stopped hoping they will clean up their yard and environs. Discovered one of their sons is a landscaper. Marveled at that irony.

6. Slept through several hours of jack hammering. After being awakened at midnight by the utility guy pounding on our front door. He needed to get in the basement to use a gas sensing tool that BEEPED continually.
