I was awoken from a nightmare by the alarm. I'm not annoyed by the nightmare but i loathe being awoken from the dream state since it leaves me groggy.

Go in and give 2 tests, which actually weren't that horrible (in comparison to my 4oo level nursing one which was)

I still have a land line for many reasons not the least of which it cell phone reception here goes something like this. Hey your uncle drop 5 words and drop ten more crackle crackle Speak up why don't you. Last night the phone went dead. I get the old non-portable one out and it too won't work in either phone jack. okay. I call American Broadband and the guy asks no questions other than my # and says we'll send a repair man out sometime in the next 72 hours, you need to be there to let him in. Upon which I go apeshit and say look I have this little thing known as a job. can't you narrow this down? No, well can we come in the afternoons. we'll call you to give you warning. I browbeat him into saying after 3.

Later, I get home, decide you know that was a very weird call. I call back on the cell phone and in between the dropped words and flat out dropped calls (thanks verizon) i manage to get someone who said 'he told you WHAT?' no ma'am they're coming tomorrow. is the phone box inside or out? If it's out you don't have to even be there.

Well I don't know. I hang up and go track down the landlord. He tells me the whole complex is out and is very quick to add in that he didn't hit the box (which is outside) with the back hoe while digging out rocky creek (well in his defense, it looks fine). But if he KNEW this why the hell didn't he just put a note on the door.

And I was so proud of Soul. He was pooping and peeing in the box. While I was making dinner, he came into the closet, looked in the box then went and peed under the chair. Iwas so furious but the boxes were filthy as in I have no idea how they made this much shit and piss in under 24 hours filthy.

on the plus side, I finished my chapter in my YA werewolf story for this cycle in the writers group. I'm like one potentially 2 wrap up chapters from the end. OMG YAY. now to find time to use all the edits i have for this, do a deep edit to add in things that shaped up as the novel went then find another reader

( day 300+ when one sideboard just won't do )
