Shortly after 7:00 am, I lazily rolled over, still groggy, heard the robins in the backyard, the resident squirrel chirping, and a fucking JACKHAMMER right outside the house!! Acccck! The cable company was here to replace our cable. Lucky for us, (insert extreme sarcasm here) our cable is burried under our extra driveway. The guy phoned last night, and told us what they had to do to access it, and that the company doesn't pay to repair concrete they mess with. Now he told us they had to hammer out a 1x1 area to access. Hubby told them to go ahead. Now what neither of us asked is this: 1x1 WHAT??? inch? centimeter? foot? yard? meter? I haven't ventured out there to view the "hole" yet, but I don't know whether I'll find a little hole or a big fucking ditch!!
All I know, is that when I staggered out of bed to put on some coffee, Smudge came slinking out from under my bed, scared out of his wits. It took me a further 10 minutes to find Stanley, burrowed even further under my bed. Meanwhile, the old dog snored peacefully away, in her favorite chair, completely oblivious that anything was going on. Sometimes being deaf has its advantages!
Off to paint I go!
