| Where is Scooby Doo when you need him? |
Ever since I moved into my current residence, one year and 4 months ago, I've continued to receive mail for the previous owners. It's really annoying because they recieve a.lot.of.mail.
You kind of accept that you are going to be getting some misplaced mail when you first move somewhere because even with forwarding notices and notifying the mailman, you are still going to have some slip-ups. But we are talking, I receive something for one of them (there appears to have been a father, a mother and a son) every.single.day.
Important stuff, too. Like tax information and what appear to be checks. College registration information and DMV notices. And I have no forwarding info for them. Do these people not realize they aren't getting their mail? Where have they gone to that they no longer need their W2's?
So last month, when opening my own litany of Christmas cards (thank you homegirls, I love getting things in the mail that aren't bills!), I opened one of theirs by mistake. Ok, it wasn't a mistake, I was just curious who was sending them a Christmas card for the SECOND Christmas that they no longer live here. Shhh, it's a federal offense, you know.
It was signed Grandma. They didn't tell Grandma they moved?! Are they in the witness protection program or something? Should I be keeping my eye out for a prison break in case someone in my house was once a stoolie? Should I be worried that I could be mistaken for Mrs. Martin and get taken out by the mob while I'm driving home from WinCo?
Or maybe Grandma Pearl is a real pain in the ass and they didn't want her to track them down. She didn't include any money in the card, and that's not good Grandma etiquette.
It's a mystery. |

| Father, it's been 1 week and 3 days |
since my last entry. Forgive me for I have sinned.
I must have done something, anyway, because my DAMNED HEATER IS OUT AGAIN!! I mean Fresno, CA isn't exactly the Swiss Alps, and I've often said that I'd rather be cold than hot, but this is getting ridiculous. It worked for a whopping 2.5 weeks this whole winter. And right now, the overnight low's are in the low 20's. That's pretty cold for around here. We don't even have appropriate clothing, really, for this type of weather because it just isn't common.
Outside of that, Stanky had an abscessed tooth yesterday and had to have it extracted. Joy, joy. On a good note, we went to a new dentist and we really, really loved him. He was very good with her. And with me. The whole staff was awesome really.
Plus, I went down the DA's office and put the wheels in motion for child support on Pokeboy. Bookem is helping me out with the girls, financially, even if it isn't as much as he should be. But Pokeboy's father hasn't sent as much as one dime my way and now that I'm single-mothering, I need every cent I can get. Relief is on the horizon.
Despite a rocky start so far, I'm very optimistic about 2007. This will be a good year for me :) |
