I overslept this morning, which is something I rarely do. I was up late last night because it was my weekend to edit copy and check pages, and one batch of pages never made it to me. I roll out of bed at 6:35 and stroll down to Ferry Park, which is a vastly different place at 7 oclock than it is at 5:30. When I get back I load three boxes of stuff into the car and go to the new place. Its amazing how much stuff people have hidden in drawers and cabinets. This was all bathroom stuff. Im taking my time parceling it out as Im off next week and can spend that time getting settled. Mom and Ann made a funny welcome home sign for me and taped it to the front door. I should have Instagrammed it but I didnt. When I get home I shower, shave and head to the office. There, I call the plumbers and ask them to remove the washing machine hoses from the faucets. Those would be the hoses I put on 24 years ago. I also return a ladys call who wanted to know how she could do Amazon Prime and Netflix without internet service. Then a U.S. attorney in Jacksonville calls wanting to know the circumstances surrounding the departure of an employee who worked at the office 20 years ago. Ummm, what? Then some meetings, website mysteries and the usual grind - next thing I know its time to run down to Cox and have my internet service transferred to the new abode. The guy tells me its already on at the new abode. Ummm, what? But I need to call a toll-free number and give them a serial number which allows my modem to work at the new abode. OK, so why tell me the service is available at the new abode if the modem wont work? Whatever. Then lots more work craziness until I get a text message from Joe, who says the check I gave him Sunday has been rejected by the Credit Union because I wrote it in red ink. Ummm, what? So I go home, write a new check in black ink and meet Joe at the new abode. Also, he shows me how to get the faceplate off the thermostat, which is like a digital lament configuration for you Hellraiser fans. Then its back to work for more craziness including a squid that took a dirt nap, knocking down all our sites for most of the afternoon. Ummm, what? I check out around 6:30 and head over to Wally World where I could not find a freaking soap dish with drain holes in the bottom. I mean, ummm, what? I come home and find the plumber cut the hoses from the faucets, which is fine - I expected that. But theyre still connected to the washing machine, and theyve been there for 27 years, not 24 years. So I gotta call them back tomorrow and get that done, plus get the gas turned on at the new abode, and get four columns written this week, and do a bunch of Picture Perfects ... oh, and Moms garbage disposal stopped working. Ummm ... Im pooped. Think Ill take the rest of the night off. I feel like Ive earned it.
