2009 starts with the Plague!

Yep, after the sewer back up, (repaired at no charge!) The furnace break down, (repaired at no charge!) I get the Plague to welcome in the new year. January 2nd, it starts... January 3rd it has me in it's grip and is not letting go! Coughing, sneezing, (even in my sleep, who knew that could happen?) plugged ears but thankfully, no hemorrhaging was involved. It's only too bad, I couldn't have been repaired at no charge!

Sorry to those of you who keep checking in for updates, but I've really not been up to updating. Plus there's been nothing much to say other than cough, cough, sneeze, sneeze and that gets so boring after a while. :)

Oh, I did get the City to fix our street lights that had been out for over a week due to a wind storm. I mentioned how I was "tripping over the uneven sidewalks whilst trying to visit the neighbours in the pitch black!" They were out in less than 12 hours!

I can only assume the rest of the new year holds great things!

And you all mocked me when I had the plague!

See? I told you it could have been plague! Fine, I haven't skinned any lions lately but hey, there are lots of feral cats in my hood, I could have been scratched by one. Last night, coming into the yard after work, Bob had a run in with a giant raccoon and a opossum! (Hmmmm is it a opossum or an opossum? You don't say the o part so now I'm confused!)Regardless, there's a plethora of wildlife here and anything could happen! ha!
