Limboland part 4

[bookpusher]

The lawn mower and I are having a discussion. I keep trying to start it and it doesn't go so I walk back into the house. I guess I have to apply a DB principle: If something doesn't work, don't keep doing it over and over, do something different. Hmmmmm, blame it for all my problems and run away from it, threaten it with replacement of a new mower or actually take it apart and hope that I can see what is wrong and fix it? I called a repair place and they would want $150 to fix it (rough estimate). Acck!!

H is still deep in lalaland. My older dog is looking worse and I am wondering if it is time to let her go? Then I get into a discussion with myself about whether I should contact H and ask if he wants to see her one more time but I believe that would result in the usual...no contact. It is nice in "no contact" land. I almost don't remember what he looked like. It has been 19 months of the only contact being ocassional flowers and present to DD. He still hasn't contacted his parents or sister either. I still want to ask the questions "Does leaving them alone really work?", "Will he come back?", etc. but I am at the point where I the answers don't matter. He will do what he does and I will do what I want to do. I am ok....now the lawnmower on the other hand.....


The jailbird just called. LOL. He was released at 3:00 am today when he made bail. He had an outstanding warrant and a failure to appear in court for it. I didn't press him about the warrant. This is an employee of mine who has worked at the library for about 3 years now and has always been a good worker. I would have loved to be a mouse on the wall when he was running around at midnight asking the police to let him feed the animals. The neighbor said when the police came to take him in, they came silently until they had him in their car and then they sat there for 1/2 hour with lights flashing. This is at midnight! Guess I'll be the talk of the neighborhood!
