I'm going to the movie with Mr. Traffic tomorrow to see the new James Bond movie. And business seems to been picking up. And I am making BIG tips at the pizza place. . . and actually getting tips at the florist, (on average, I make in a year in tips at the florist what I can make on a good weekend at the pizza place). Now back to the doom and gloom. . .
I took some trash out to the trash can, I am now keeping the can in the side yard, as I got a generic postcard from the city saying they had to be kept behind the fence, and discovered that the gate had been forced open. The gate was ajar and the old solid gate was leaning against the clothes pole. Just enough room for a skinny person to sidle by. So I closed it and put the old gate back up against it and then put both trash cans against it. Tomorrow, I'm going to see what I can do to put something between the trash cans and the clothes pole, so if someone tries to do it again, they will just be shoving everything against the clothes pole and not be getting anywhere.
Also, I thought about trying a new light bulb in the side door light to see if that was the problem and looked at it and realized that it was a security light! Daddy put in a security light before he died? I don't remember this at all. I thought it was still the old standard light. I flipped the switch and went out and tried it and it works!
And then I started cleaning up the dining room. I have to get the house cleaned up, so I can call the police. So, about five hours later, I sorted through all the paper work on the table, picked up all the trash, and produced five bags of trash! Tomorrow, I will mop the floor, take that silver plated coffee set to the Salvation Army, and take a whack at the walls. Then I get to start on the living room. I will get this house in shape, so if something happens I can call 911, and not be ashamed. It's just going to take awhile. And then I have to practice maintenance.
