7:30am

At about fifteen to seven – sitting here blurry eyed trying to wake up with my first cup of coffee…

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG (at the door)

I answer the door… It’s one of the construction people working on our subdivision… They’ve had the whole hood torn up for most of the warmer months this year putting in upgraded water service and new streets. They’re resurfacing our street this week. (finally).

“Is that your car?” – pointing to the one parked on the street – at the very edge of our property…

“No… I believe it belongs to the son of our neighbors over there.” (insert gesticulation)

“OK.. Thanks!”

30 minutes later…. Just in time for me to get a few cups of coffee into me and now be a little jumpy…

BANG BANG BANG BANG, BLING BLONG, BLING BLONG, BLING BLONG, BANG BANG BANG BANG

Once I check to make sure I didn’t piss myself… I swung the door open, (a different guy this time) – and didn’t give him a chance to speak:

“NO… THAT’S NOT MY CAR – IT BELONGS TO MY NEIGHBOR OVER THERE.”

(slams door)

There’s men now running up and down the street with loud dust flying devices now. With the morning light – it looks like a Sherlock Homes movie outside now.

Meanwhile – i’m wondering why the bathroom smells like pork sausage.

I’m not blogging – I’m waking up and looking forward to having a brand new street outside.
