I'm just chasing LMT around the board. Thanks for giving me something to do on this Fourth.
I am staying in this evening. For two reasons-
1. I do not feel inclined to go sit on a blanket spread out over tick territory to watch fireworks.
2. I'm staying home to protect my home from Dog Frenzy! Last time I stepped out for an evening I came home to find the house trashed, furniture broken, unbelievable mess. I went next door to my neighbor's to call the police since I thought someone had broken in and ransacked the place.
While waiting for the cops to show up she mentioned that someone had been setting off fireworks and maybe the dogs had gotten upset.
So I went back in for a more thorough investigation-and figured she was right because the bathroom was the biggest mess. I don't think a thief would have pulled out every box of kotex and chewed them to bits. Gave me an idea though-don't hide your valuables in the freezer or under the mattress-hide them in TAMPAX !
and finally
3. I'm in a bad mood and don't feel like being social since I have lost my Independence to Lyme Disease.
Poor Poor Pitiful Me, Carol
