susandennisI just can't shake this feeling that I shouldn't be here. I should be in South Carolina bitching about the heat, getting frustrated at the old people, being annoyed with Mom and generally wishing I was here but not actually being here. Being here feels strange.
Doesn't help any that last night I got sucked into a TiVo Dateline episode about a murder in Charleston that happened about this time two years ago down the street from where Mom and Dad lived to a woman they kind of knew. It was a rerun. I was fast forwarding when I saw the distinctive architecture of a downtown Charleston house. They don't make them like that anywhere in the world an a 1 second glance can tell you exactly where it is and a 2 second glance can probably pinpoint the neighborhood.
The news is all about traveling. It's worse this year than it ever has been before. You are allowed one zip lock bag and you are only allowed to put, I think, one child in each bag and they must be able to see through. It's all kind of yada yada to me at this point. All I really hear is ThankGodIDon'tHaveToGoAnywhere!

I finally heard from one of the cleaning services I contacted - it's actually the first one - http://www.aprillanescleaning.com/. He didn't call but in addition to the two messages I left, I also filled out the 'quote' form on their website and he finally replied to that one. 2 hour minimum - $80 for the 2 hours. I sent a note saying ok, I'll give it a try. Pick a time - soonish plez. No response yet. Probably won't hear until next week.

Sty still in eye but according the WebMD it will go away. And it hurts less than yesterday so I'm thinking it's already on the way out.

Back to work.
