The world looks pretty bleak for Mamaw right now. The Internet has been givin her problems and she can’t get my blogs posted—she’s frustrated! I heard her on the phone to Mediacom—they said, “Well, you could unplug the--blah, blah, blah--and take it to the office on Ingersoll and get a different one.”

She took a very deep breath and said, “You know, we pay you $$$ every month for our service. I’ve been to the Ingersoll office for 2 new Internet boxes and 3 new remote controls in the last year. I’m tired of doing all of the running. A repairman was just here 7-10 days ago and now today we have the same problem. I want somebody to come to our house and REALLY check things out. We are probably going to need a new modem.”

With that the gentleman was quiet for a bit (probably mad at Mamaw) and said, “The soonest we can come is Monday, between the hours of 10-2.” She said yes but then she complained to ME of all people, as if I CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, and said 4 hours—what in God’s name do they need 4 hours for? I’m goin to my kennel so I don’t get the brunt of this.

Otherwise a BORING day. Mamaw brought the wheel barrel Darrell made her in the house since the sanding is done and took this real tacky cloth and gently rubbed the entire thing down. I have no idea what THAT is all about but she said to make sure all the dust is off. Then she gently picked it up and said, “This is for you Darrell,” and took it to the basement. Mr. Good Looking is gonna come and see if she did a good job or not and just how she’s gonna end up finishin it up. She likes the smell of cedar and things maybe she’ll just leave it natural since she says no more outside.

She got her walk done just in the nick of time to see Notre Dame get their pants beat off them by Navy. Mamaw thinks they’re done now…again; I’m stayin out of that—let her talk to Poppy about THAT!

Oh my God, and just to make matters worse, IOWA lost their game too! Poppy is disgusted with em cause he says there was no reason they should have lost the game. They are now BOTH IN A BAD MOOD. Go to bed Scarlett…after all, tomorrow is another day!
