    Usually paving jobs are done by private contractors. I feel fortunate to live in a connected neighborhood with lots of options for coming and going. Not that we'll EVER have our streets repaved, though. Consider yourselves lucky.


    Dear Sky King's Dark Chocolate M&Ms,
    Leave her alone! Come sit with me.

    Dear Owlie,
    Thanks, I had the best pho today! And found a huge Asian grocery and bought all kinds of goodies. Yum

    Dear Bank Loan Officer,
    Thank you for helping me find the best interest rate for me to pay for the plumbing and electrical repairs on my LA house. Amazingly, the best rate is from my credit card!

    Self,
    Hide that credit card until the "loan" is paid off, which means until the house sells.

    Anybody wanna buy a house in the suburbs of New Orleans??

    Yep - a private contractor. We have lots of options - but they're all chopped up right now Our road wasn't bad - I would much rather they have built bike trails.

    Speaking of Asian food - next time you're down this way, check out the new Asian grocery. It's pretty amazing (over near where Southsquare used to be - the old circuit city).

    Your neighborhood is connected; hopefully the paving will go quickly. They do seem to manage to pick the hottest days for paving and roofing. I willcheck out the Asian grocery next month. I'm trying to picture where the Circuit City was at S Square. Funny how one forgets those places once the are gone.

    Here is more info! It's a neat place to wander (sadly, not a great bike location, though).

    Dear docs. Please figure out what's going on with my thyroid ASAP. I'm really looking forward to my nuclear scans. The presumed diagnosis of Graves' is not making me happy. This time last year, I was putting my beloved cat to sleep. This year, I'm heading toward an autoimmune disorder diagnosis. What in the world can I expect for next years? On second thought, don't answer that.

    Thanks, Catrin. I know as medical issues go, this isn't generally life threatening, but it's still upsetting. Any medical issue that impacts mood, energy levels, and weight scares me. I'm trying to just roll with it, but in truth I think I'm just waiting for a crying jag to ensue.

    Dear body:
    Why are you awake at this hour? I don't want to be.
