Our apartment building was sold last week. Our new landlord is a contractor and his people are renovating the apartment above us. Last week they took out the tub and debris was raining down through the drop ceiling into our tub and sink, bad, but understandable.

Today, however, they started work in the master bedroom, with power tools,... at 7:00 a.m.! This after I was stuck in the ER with a client last night and didn't get home until after 1:00. Our town has ordinances about starting that kind of work before 8:00 a.m. We'll call today and complain to the landlord and if we get no satisfaction I WILL make a police report regarding disturbing the peace if it happens again. It would be a shame to lose this apartment and have to move for standing up for our rights with the new landlord.

Yes, I know that they can't legally retaliate. I also know there are ways, and who wants to live in a place where you're at war with the landlord?

Today I went to the funeral of a friend's father.  He had remarried so his second family were also there.  My friend is the eldest daughter from the first marriage.  She looked after her father through a very long illness and played peacemaker for nearly 40 years.  There was no acknowledgement of her love, her support or of her being such a dutiful daughter.

She doesn't expect any acknowledgement or thanks and knows that her father abused her mother, yet she still loved him unconditionally.   Don't know why I am unhappy if she doesn't appear to be unhappy herself.

It's easy to understand how you feel though, often times we are standing outside of the glass house they all live in and can see things so much more clearly then they are able. The point that stands out most in your observation is how sensitive your own heart s toward the woman and her family. Kudos to you dear!

Finding a cheese sandwich science project

Found a few of those in my kids toy box. (ugh!)

This one was in a kettle!

Egocentric people.

Ugh.

I'm all for people being confident in themselves and stuff, but being forced to listen to the same few people endlessly blowing their own trumpet and harp on about how awesome they are, and how life is a breeze, and how they're god's gift to Humanity... for hours at a time makes me sorely want to take those trumpets and shove them where the sun don't shine.

Some people really just need to get over themselves. My jaw is aching from smiling politely.

I can't smile politely at these people any more.  Usually my eyeballs start to ache from rolling them backward so much.  Unfortunately I live in the part of LA where all of the entertainment industry douchenozzles live and I can't ever get away from them. 

I feel old today. I feel good but just old. I see so many girls here that are like 19 & improving their lives. Gosh where did all the years go? Oh well, I'm alive & in very good physical shape & after around one year of HRT I feel better about myself than I ever have.

Two people told me that I sounded like a woman today. People who don't know that I am trans.

Seem to have major thought blockage and word vomit towards my new boss.  Well.. maybe thats not it.  I always kind of do, but usually interactions are longer so the logic and words tend to settle themselves for the majority.  Quick casual questions in passing leave me sputtering all sorts of nonsense.  Yesterday I'm pretty sure I told her me and this other girl "sat around a lot" for a 7 hour day when we actually did a lot of things..

whoops

Bad Call of Duty: Black Ops lag

Bumped into my ex wife today while doing groceries.
Didn't say anything but it was her. Of all people to bump into in Sydney?

Haven't seen her for 13 years.
Bad, bad memories.

Left her after she got pregnant.
Not mine...

B...

Waking up again with stuff between my legs. Surely one morning I can awake with a nice vagina & a normal body.

One of my best friends' brother-in-law died in a car wreck today.  He was a good kid and a good roadie.

I feel so bad for their entire family.

I have wished for that for many years.

That's not at all unusual, most guys procrastinate until the last few days before.
