Men

That title is said in an exasperated tone of voice by the way. BT decided to check out some "really cool stuff" *eyes rolling*. First he got a Mac emulator to try it out on my system then for reasons known only to him he got Linux then it all went horribly wrong. We spent hours and hours yesterday reloading XP and getting the system back into running shape. Today, just for shits and giggles, the hydro company cut off all the power to my complex for three hours. No lights, no blogs arggg.

I was having the weirdest dream last night - that somehow I was incredibly wealthy and I was travelling everywhere meeting all the people who's blogs I've been reading. Funny how I''m dreaming about people who's lives I've only read about although I suppose by reading the archives I feel like I know them. Ah well, no one ever said my unconscious was normal lol.

Talked to one of my newer neighbours today and she was telling me that I need to get Jamie away from the kids he's been hanging around wtih as they were hanging around by her place the other night smoking dope and that the police are watching them. I told her there was nothing I could do as Jamie had left my house and all I could do was hope that he would come home. Katie was saying how nice it is now that Jamie isn't here - she doesn't have to lock her room, no one is stealing all her stuff and when I buy her treats for her lunch, they actually STAY in the fridge until she uses them for her lunch. Sad that to make life better for her Jamie needs to not be living here.

My 11-year-old daughter is thrilled when her older brother is away. Truth be told, as much as I love him I enjoy the break too. It only happens one or two days each month, but it lets everyone rest and recover.
