The Crazy Witch's Daybook

Yesterday the city was asking everyone to please water their trees really good because of the bad drought we are having. So this morning I have been busy watering the two pecan trees and the empress tree. that means fighting with the fucking hoses and sprinklers and all that crap. I expect to be sweating my ass off as usual because of the humidity again. So my mood today is of coarse soggy. I really should go find my swimsuit and one of my sarongs and wear that all day. I would be comfortable.

Interesting shit happening: yesterday we had a water main break in front of my house. Lucy and I were sitting  outside, enjoying the afternoon when Lucy got up and started barking. Now understand this, she doesn't bark for anything unless it's a stranger, cat or ghost. But this little girl was barking her head off at something in the street. I looked and it was nothing. She ran to the edge of the yard and really started growling and barking bad. She's a good dog cause she never left the yard.

mud in neighbors driveway and in front of my house

Then I saw it, water was bubbling up from the street, hardly noticeable until it started running down the street and into a neighbors driveway. So I called the city and told them they need to send someone pronto cause water was seeping from the street. I would have had pictures of the slackers doing nothing but my camera was in need of recharging. I did get these this morning at  09:30 am. Wonder what time they get to work? It's now 10:30. Oh wait!! A back ho pun intended just arrived. I do have to say they did fix the pipe last night before leaving the scene of the crime. At least we had that. But they left the hole as you see it in the pictures. No blinkers for night drivers. I was waiting to see if a drunk would drive right into it, but nothing happened, shit!

Right now a dozer is messing up the street big time. He is trying to get all the mud and stuff off the street but he's making a bigger mess. Ooops, they are changing drivers. Oh well.

What my fat fluffy ass is reading: Lots of shit happened yesterday, shit. Way to much for a place like this.
Anywho, I got The Help by Kathryn Stockett  from Amazon.com in the mail. I started reading it as soon as I opened the package. It's a pretty good book. I understand that this is her first that she has written. She almost gets you into the story but she leaves a lot out so you are not entirely drawn into it. That's too bad cause the characters and the story are good.

The weather outside: It's HOT!!! FUCKING HOT!!!  ALL FUCKING DAY LONG IT'S HOT!!!   THERE IS NO RELIEF!!  NOT EVEN IN THE SHADE!!  ICED TEA DRIES UP IN THE FUCKING GLASS BEFORE YOU CAN DRINK IT. THE ICE CUBES ARE EVEN HOT!!
That's the weather report for the rest of the year. Thank you.
