Did you know you can work up a lather just by walking around a few blocks in your neighborhood?
😀
Well. Yeah: if you live in (un)lovely Arizona, you sure can!
It is HOT and WET out there! Lightly overcast: feels almost like Saudi Arabia used to feel. And that, for those who haven’t enjoyed the experience, feels a great deal like the inner circles of Hell.
That notwithstanding, today’s damp and steamy stroll was surprisingly pleasant. Passed a young couple in their front yard, showing off their new baby to friends. awwwww!

Our financial advisor was supposed to send over a candidate for the cleaning lady position he (unilaterally) proposes to offer. NEVVERMIND that I have a very fine cleaning lady who has worked for me over the past several years and whom I have no intention of replacing.
Hey! I’m just the Little Woman, right? Who cares what I think?
Anyway, if she showed up while I was stumbling around the ‘Hood, I missed her. She didn’t call and she didn’t leave a note, so I’ll assume either she never surfaced or else he smartened up enough to call her off.

Life. Gets sillier and sillier, doesn’t it?
Passed a new life as I was ambling about: a young couple with a brand-new baby. Too, too delightful.
Dayum, but I love this neighborhood. And “love this neighborhood” is THE specific reason I do NOT wish to be locked up the the Beatitudes, an old-folkerie from Hell.
How the Hell do I evade that?
****
Do hafta say, though, that this IS the nicest neighborhood I’ve ever lived in. And since I’ve lived in places all over the damn planet — from here to Saudi Arabia — that is sayin’ something. And that’s why I most decidedly NOT want to be moved out of here.
For what it costs to live in a prison for old folks, I’m pretty sure I can hire someone to come here and take care of me. You can be damn sure I’m gonna try, anyhow.
Main trick will be to find someone responsible, competent, and incapable of stealing stuff.
And, as you know…that’ll be a trick!
