1. My mother’s surgery went well, although she chastised the doctor for being 45 minutes late. BP said to me, “You come by your impatience honestly.” It’s true. I’m very impatient.
2. BP and LP got the mourning dove out of the basement Thursday. Now all is quiet downstairs.
3. I watched Part One of the Project Runway finale. Santino actually seemed a wee bit humble. I like Daniel’s shorter hair. And Chloe’s family history—she and her seven sisters were born in Laos and her parents tried to sneak them out during the war, got caught, and all had to spend time in “Family Jail.” Fascinating. I’d love to get a visit from Tim Gunn. Santino’s collection looks very good, but I still want Daniel to win. That big pink coat that we saw from Chloe’s collection is hideous. Can’t wait for the finale Wednesday night.

Scaredy Cat
When I was in bed Tuesday night I heard weird noises coming from the basement. I hate that! This kind of stuff usually happens when BP is away on business. I bolted upright, and strained to hear wtf it was. I put on my glasses. Putting on my glasses always makes me hear better. Like turning down the radio in your car when you’re lost and trying to find a street address. Anyway, it stopped. Then started again. I took a flashlight and check in on LP. He was sawing logs. Then I took the flashlight and shined it out on the back porch. Nesta was sawing logs too. Damn, I was hoping she had knocked something over. But no, it was all quiet. So I went back to bed. And it started in again. I went out into the living room and called BP. It was about 1am.
BP: (groggy voice) What’s wrong?
Me: I heard a noise.
BP: What noise?
Me: A noise. In the basement!
BP: A human noise? You think there’s someone down there?
Me: No, not a person. What kind of stupid person breaks into someone’s house and makes enough racket to wake the dead? It was a noise. Like a wild animal down there?
BP: It’s probably a bird. Remember? About once a year one of the stupid birds---which you feed, by the way--gets into the house.
Me: I hope it’s just a bird and not a raccoon. You know, Vanda52 has raccoons in his attic.
BP: Who?
Me: Nevermind. You’ll be home Thursday right?
BP: Yes Puddin.
Me: Then it’ll be here waiting for you.
BP: Yeeesssss Puddin.
Me: I’m sleeping in the living room. I can’t hear it there. Bye.
BP: Love ya.
So I did. I slept in the living room. So yesterday after work I walked all around the house. I saw it. On the basement window ledge was a little mourning dove. That basement window hasn’t been opened in a hundred years and I wasn’t going to break it. I had LP hit the window with a broom, while I held open the basement door, hoping it would fly out on its own. It didn’t. It looked perfectly fine sitting there. And there it will sit until this afternoon when BP gets it out.

Broken wrist
Saturday my mom broke her wrist in two places. They are operating on her on Thursday. Poor old girl. The doctor didn’t even give her any good drugs—just Tylenol with codeine.
