I'm leaving home for the day!



It's at times like this that I wish I had a job away from the house!
Our 1980's built home still has it's original shingled roof.
After today, that will change.

We are biting the bullet and spending our tax refund(which is just us giving the government a year long loan anyway, isn't it?)on replacing our roof.  It needs it badly.

The contractor said yesterday in our phone conversation that the roofers would be here around 7:30am but I didn't have to be up or anything if I sleep later than that time.
I reminded him that I have 3 dogs(2 beagles-the baying machines, and a psychotic people-hating chihuahua), so if the workers were here, I'd be awake & so would the entire neighborhood!lolol

It's been about 1 hour since they arrived and it's going to be a race to see who--either the Chihuahua or I--will be having a nervous breakdown first.

So in order not to have to listen to constant barking for the next 7 hours, I'm getting into my car, stopping at McDonald's for a chicken biscuit and going to my storage unit.  I'll sit there in the relative peace & quiet of traffic noise as cars wiz by on the highway, eat my breakfast and go through boxes of stuff in my storage.  Maybe I'll count my stash of toilet paper/facial tissues/napkins while I'm at it so I can hold a "Guess Sluggy's  Stockpile" Giveaway Contest on the blog.
Now THAT would be fun, right?

When I get tired or bored with that, I'll wander over to the Library and pick-up the book that's on hold for me and go into the stacks somewhere and start reading it.

Have fun online today without me.
I'm out of here before my sanity and hearing is shot!
