It’s going to be a long whack-a-mole day

Torn Rose · 2005-08-10, 09:07 AM

This is the time I usually start waking up at and it is just plain wrong that I’ve been up for 4 hours.

My legs are on fire, for those who never been bitten by a fire ant imagine having a mosquito bite on top of your poison ivy that looks like a nasty white head zit, not very appealing at all and feels worse.

The AC contractors got here an hour late, but seem to be good guys who know what they are doing, but they wasn’t told the full story on the situation, and to top it off they drove from Tampa this morning (2.5 hours) since the owner/foreman is the home owners brother, and he was told it was a small job, which it is not, the entire duct work needs replaced and we have had 5 estimates that all said the same thing that no one bothered to tell him about until I talked to him, so he drove all the way here thinking he would be done in a few hours and home for dinner and I got to burst his bubble.

The landlord was suppose to let him know if this house ever had a AC problem and was shocked to find out that it’s been known for a month that there was a issue and not a week as he was told by our landlord, so I may have just started something….

Is it time for bed yet?

Good morning! Just went on a very long drive to the rich folks part of town and looked at all the gorgeous houses. I love that.

Torn, I really feel for you! Fire ant bites are just hellacious. An oatmeal bath might help with the itch - Aveeno makes some good ones. Other than that, I recommend liquor

And yes I think it's time for bed! Y'all have a great day.
