Struck Down in the Prime of her New Year Resolve
I woke at 3:30 this morning with a raw and constricted sore throat, fever and pounding head. I waited until 6:30am to call the boss and whine "I'm Siiiiiiiiiiiiiickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!"
So until today, I'd had about 4 hours of sleep in 30 hours. At 7am I fell back to sleep, exhausted and sore. At 8:00am they began to jackhammer Telegraph Avenue, a half block from my bedroom.
LOVELY!
I got up again and sipped medicinal brandy and tried to feel better. At 12:30 I laid down again, the jackhammers seemed to be done. 10 seconds after I laid down the door bell rang 3 times in a row followed by heavy fisted pounding on my rather fragile, mostly glass front door. Of course the dog exploded into defensive barking. When I yanked the door open I had a mail man with a pepper spray can aimed right at my face. I nearly incinerated him on the spot.
"Don't you *EVER* bang on my door like that again. Or I'll let this dog with all 3 of her teeth gum you to death."
His behavior was completely uncalled for. I got the number on the side of his van and when I feel better and can actually talk, I'll be paying a visit to the postmaster.
