This, That & The Other Thing
Fun In The Suburbs Of The Great Swamp Metropolis
Wow. Another week goes by with no blog activity. That's starting to be the new normal...
I can't even blame Facebook, 'cause I don't post there either.
I blame the possum.
T'was a hot steamy night last weekend, and I'm sitting by the front door at something after 9 pm awaiting the pizza guy. I'd been wrapped up in one thing or another all day long, and never made it out to get some food.
In the moving-out process, the pantry's as bare as a baby's ass, and I probably should have just gone to bed, but when hot pizza and chicken wings are but a mouse click away...
At any rate, I'm sitting there futzing on my phone when a possum wanders up to the front door like he's selling Amway. A coon or a cat would have looked up, seen me on the other side of the glass door, and scampered off. Not so, the phlegmatic possum. It just sat there and... sat there.
Fearing the interaction of possum and pizza guy might result in a severe lack of pizza, I finally got up and banged on the door to shoo him off. I got a nice toothy grin for my trouble, but it did continue its mosey down the porch to parts unknown.
Haven't seen him since.
*************************
Still no ETA on the relocation to the new digs. There's still some electrical & plumbing issues to sort out before I feel OK being there full time.

Anybody know the cheapest place to get mattresses? I don't anticipate having overnight guests all that often, so I'm looking for some bedding that's not a complete POS, but I can't spend $500 per guest room, either. Any advice is appreciated!
