Off They Went

The plumber came by today and fixed our situation up, and did a cement job on the spigot so she won't wiggle. God is in his heaven, and all is right with the world. 

I had another very busy workday, the product launch she still struggles. But the smart dudes are on it, and I'm answering tickets, and everything progresses. I tried to do a training with a station but all the widget embeds for their site are "empty" because reasons. But. I showed them how to do it. And they are going to try after we give the all clear, and I am very proud of them. Bless Bless. 

Doug and Geoff left around 5:45ish. Allegedly a 3.5 hour ride up to mom's but I guarantee it will take longer. 

Doug (to Geoff): I see that you put beer in the car
Geoff (to Doug): Indeed I did
Doug: Smart idea

If I had not been on a call right then I would have given them a small cooler and some ice packs from the freezer. Lord knows we have them. But. Too late. 

I had enough time to say bye, and ask Doug to reconnect the hose to the spigot for me, so I didn't have to get down on the ground in the carport and try to get back up (Hilarity would ensue, I know it. But no). 

Toffee and I saw them off, and I made dinner. Did more tickets. 

I figured I needed to water the garden and all, since it is hot and no one has been watered in days. So I got that going, happily, and did my Farmer Chris things, with much joy.

I also figured I needed to do the treadmill. So exhausting at like 9:30pm to do that. And I didn't want to take miss Toffee for a walk. Geoff took her this morning, and she is just bad on the leash for me. I prefer when Doug walks her and I can just mosey along playing pokemon. 

Before I got on the treadmill, I could hear someone, a male voice really, outside yelling or screaming... intermittently. Toffee was aware too. It sounded like someone out on the road that runs parallel to ours, or the back of a house in the alley behind our house. Or the other side street. I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from and it made me worried.

It occurs to me that usually not only is Doug here (and Geoff) but the TV is always on. So this could very well be a nightly screaming and yelling event that I've just never heard because silence has not been something that happens here often.  But no, because most nights I sit out on the patio while the dog does dog things, and I have never heard anything like this.

I kind of very much like the silence. I didn't need the TV on. I didn't want to watch anything. I was plodding through helpdesk tickets, even up to super late. I love Doug but I do not need TV on. 

So screaming.... not something I'm used to. 

I did the treadmill for about 20 minutes, and got off. I had to put a bag of trash out in the barrel so I bravely put shoes on and bravely went out. And then bravely stood there listening. 

The screaming seemed to have stopped. 

But I came inside, and locked all the doors and answered more helpdesk tickets and was nervous. 

I'm sure it was .... maybe nothing. 

Toffee and I are going to sleep in the guest room tonight. Doug dumped 11,000 baskets of laundry on the bed and fuck all if I am just not in the mood to fold shit.
