So my neighbors are out of town and they have a dog who they sadly left behind. (Sidenote: I just don't get leaving a sweet puppy for a week with no one to be there at night. Scout and Boo would be so sad and lonely.) For the first few days while I was out of town, they had a neighbor kid let Reggie out a few times a day. I started taking care of him on Monday. Typically, I let him out at 6ish, take him for a walk and then let him out a few more times during the day and finally, hang with him for about an hour before putting him to bed for the night. When I left Tuesday, the task of all of the above (minus the walk) was left to Jim and my other neighbor, Katie.
The other part of taking care of things is to feed the fish in each of the kids' rooms. This entails turning on the tank light and then giving each a little fish food. (BTW - fish are stupid. Birds are stupid. Bearded dragons are fucking stupid. Sorry but these are all things I've had to deal with when taking care of neighbors shit and it's annoying.) At night, when putting Reggie to bed, the fish light gets turned off. Easy right? Apparently not. When I talked to Jim yesterday morning and asked how things went he said, "OH FUCK! I didn't feed the fish!" So I sent a text to Katie and asked her to do it. Of course it wasn't a problem for her but why can't Jim complete a task? Guess what Jim said TODAY when I talked to him? If you guessed that he didn't feed the fucking fish, you would be spot on. He said, "You're going to have to text Katie and let her know." I'm like, "I'M going to have to text her? Text her your fucking self!"
Oh, and I love that Katie punked Jim yesterday after she had to feed the fish and told him that they were floating. She said Jim nearly had a heart attack. He deserved it.
Not sure if you can tell but I'm in a bit of a foul mood. I'll get out of it here in a minute once I let all this out and once my body soaks up my mimosa. Oh, and of course my neighbors extended their trip a day. And did my neighbor text me? Nope. They sent Jim the text. Annoying.
Plans for the day: The wind has kicked up considerably. They're currently steady at about 25mph which means the lake is kind of angry. Charlie is supposed to come up and bring the boat but I'm not sure that's going to happen. We'll see though because his arrival is supposed to be around dinner time when the lake should be a bit calmer. It's currently pretty cloudy and overcast but it should clear out which will mean it's a pool day. Dinner: Taco salad.
I'll be leaving here tomorrow fairly early so won't be posting. Weekend plans: We're having my friends Terri and her husband Marc over Saturday for some spa lounging and dinner. They'll be over around 2:00 and I'm hoping the weather cooperates.
K - time to check to see if I won the Powerball. Wish me luck. Later!
