2 nights in a row now that I haven't slept particularly well. That, undoubtedly, will change tonight since 2 nights in a row mean the third night, usually anyway, I will pass out in bed and pretty much sleep through the night.

I came home from work yesterday and Lynnette was full-fledged into the wall papering project. She stated that it's going to take more wall paper than I got to finish it. Gag. I had hoped she would have started in the living room area, not the bedroom area. For whatever reason, she started in the bedroom area and, oh well.

Well we're in there, the "neighbor" from behind me was visiting my next door neighbor. He saw us in there and waved, lol. Same dude that was seen hanging over my fence, taking pics of the trailer and talking crap about the people living in it and me. People are very strange, is all I can say about that, very strange indeed.

The city also came out yesterday to Randy's - the neighbor whose house burned down right next to me - and who knows what they were saying to him. He was already informed he would have to remove everything off of that property. The property's been sitting with all that junk on it since - well it was last year actually - he has had plenty of time to do something with it. A lot of speculation going on as to who, actually, turned him in, it wasn't me but whoever did it did so anonymously.

Then there was the encounter with the mailman yesterday. He asked how things were going, I had thought he had been given the whole low-down about the situation, he had not. He will occasionally stop and talk to people on his route. After telling him all of it, he gave me a look and started telling his own story. Appears the hoarders behind me have a mother - or used tohave a mother - that is also on his route. He stated that after she died, these people were there, the SAME day, removing stuff from her house. He said he lost all respect for them after seeing that. He also said it was the first time he EVER had bad mouthed anyone on his route, but from his view? They deserved it.

The people across the street? Now hate this neighborhood. Mostly because of 350 man's incessant intrusions into their personal business. Probably also because of his continual calling to the City of Phoenix attempting to get the guy fired for bringing the work truck home on occasion to get lunch or whatever. They are looking to move out of this neighborhood. I am still going to try the refinance program they just rolled out. If I can get that through, I will stick it out here since my payment would drop at least $200 per month if not more.

I only heard back from my oldest brother once, though I wrote him another short note - yes it WAS short - about hopefully meeting up with him when the time comes and he can help determine where to put that trailer since he lived on that property for about 2 years and knows where mom will want the thing placed. Oh well, it was a nice 2 sentences I got from him, anyway.

As for internet service, well, I could probably get Hughes via satellite up there, though I don't know anyone that has ever used it and I have seen a couple people online complaining that it didn't work very well. I'm looking at Verizon's coverage map right now - even up there in the mountains - the exact location of my mother's property in fact - is covered in red meaning digital coverage. Is there map accurate?

I dunno, but the work bell rings soon, I must be outta here.

G'day.
