Hard to believe a week has gone by--but maybe it's because I worked my three days without any of them back-to-back. Next week will be just the opposite--I'll work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

I got home this afternoon at about the same time as my next door neighbor. She stopped and we chatted a bit while blocking traffic, of which there was none. She told me she'd talked with the pet sitter last week and signed her up for later in the year. (We also use the same vet.) Then she filled me in on Lady's activities while I was gone. Lady went next door regularly to get petting and act cute.

And then she asked if I knew anything about the young woman across the street - "J" - who had been taken away in handcuffs by a couple of cops. We tried to figure out what it might have been for--drugs, prostitution, who knows. My neighbor said J returned home in a couple of hours.

Let's not forget that earlier this year we all got postcards telling us about a pedophile in the neighborhood.

Life is definitely not boring.

Next Friday is the Saints' first home (exhibition) game! Since I'm getting my glasses updated that day, I'll be in Slidell so it will be very convenient to go to the game. (If it was a work day there would be the problem of getting back to Slidell to collect whoever was going to the game with me.) Just talked to YD and it's a "no" for her for a variety of reasons.

YD also said that last week she'd spotted a detective she knew over at the house from which the woman was arrested.

So, I have the weekend ahead of me, and I SHALL get more weeding done.

(Unless it rains or something rating a higher priority comes along.)
