Touch Base Thursday

Miss me?

Trust me, I missed ALL of you! Of course, there's a long sorted tale, yet I'm weary and must hit my bed to grab a train to SnoreVille.

Let me says this, when I woke Monday morn to flip on the TV for news at 5:30AM I had NO TV-except for a bunch of words telling me there was nothing wrong 'technically' with my TV, just call them for 'an important account matter'--OK, I musta missed a bill. No worries. As I readied for work, I notice some men out in front of my house--it was the gas company.

See, last year, two houses within a couple blocks streets of me, blew up due to a gas leak--in broad daylight. So the Gas Co was fixing out dated stuff. And I thought what a cute little bulldozer they use--which stayed parked on my curb for two days.

Anyway, I paid my bill Monday night, the guy said should be back on in a couple hours. Well, that couple hours turned into Thursday. First Verizon (my phone, Tv and Internet) said they didn't have my payment-so I told them I had the receipt, etc-so they said my stuff would be turned on. Come Wednesday and enough of "The people you need to talk to left at 6pm" and fussing at people in the Verizon store--I sat on hold and used up alot of cell talking to this Verizon Tech. He said, "there is no reason your services should be off."

Then I tell him about there was the Gas Co all week. He got silent and then says, my line may have gotten severed---that would make sense. So today, Thursday, I was told at 8AM the Tech could come out ANY time by 9PM tonight. I had things to do. I did them. Fretted the whole time. The guy called me and beat me to my house.

He came out late afternoon. And yes, the Gas Co severed the Verizon line...TWICE. In front of my house and a couple doors down. Turns out my next door neighbors knew and the husband was out there when the Gas Co did. They both said, "We thought you knew."

Well no, I didn't. So since my house was the first they worked on, my line got cut first. Joy.

Anyway, all is good. I did miss alot of school stuff so I thru myself on the mercy of the Teacher. And I await her response. There's only so many time I could give Kinko's 20 cents a minute to use their PC's.

I missed you A Lot!

Now if you excuse me, I gotta go to bed and get some rest.

The 750 mile drive to Iowa tomorrow needs all the energy I can muster.

Triple Tired

Yep. I'm triple tired. Why? For one, last night I didn't finish a school paper. Why? I helped celebrate the 50th birthday of Pastor Rickie Rush, of Inspiring Body of Church, at well, the Inspiring Body of Christ Church! I tell ya, never once did I think I'd hear the 80's classic, "Celebrate" by Kool and The Gang or the Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" in church-and everybody was on their feet! Naw- that was gonna never happen--until last night, with a few hundred other folks in tow! And Bear was there-shared a few words with him. Yea, my mind wandered after we spoke, but reality hit. I had to leave the sanctuary to get my cupcake-everybody got one as we left the church, and scoot on home. So, I'm tired because I didn't get home until per near 11Pm.

And my paper was almost done, but I couldn't stay up to finish it. So I e-mailed the instructor and told her it would be late. It's the only time, I plan to be late with an assignment. Restless, as I tried to fall asleep. A cat snoozing on your tummy doesn't help THAT much.

Tired when I got up this morning. Long, but fun day in training class--even tho one of my co-workers doesn't like me. Oh well, not sure what I did to her--considering I don't even know her name.

Then I'm tired because none, except for Crystal, of the girls really "wow" me on American Idol. Eventho they purt near all wore me out enough, I was too tired to get some Blue Bell Ice Cream for woes.

Yep. Tired.
