Meet the Neighbors
Well, Paradise is still pretty much empty. Moving day is SUPPOSED to be Thursday, when I'll at least have a couple of comfy chairs to sit in. YEAH!!
Meanwhile, I have the card table set up as an improvised desk, a couple of folding chairs and I bought a TV tray set.
Yeah, we're livin' high in Tammi's World.
Anyway, for the first week or so I was either goin' out to the garage to smoke or sitting on the front steps. I live right on the major highway and was starting to feel like a sideshow so I stopped doin' the front step thing.
Now with the two folding chairs, I have one at the "desk" and the other in the garage. I've found I can sit in the very back of the garage and have a smoke and not really be all that noticable.
Or so I thought.
Last night showed me different.
There I sat, waaaayyyyy in the back of the garage, smokin' and having a cup of tea while on the phone. I think I met the entire neighborhood. Seriously. They were all out walkin' or waterin' or somethin'.
Did I mention I was wearin' my jammies?
Yeah. Talk about gettin' busted.
Well, I'm thinkin' at least I didn't give off an unrealistic impression. It can only get better from here.
But damn. I really didn't count on THAT bein' the way I got introduced to the neighborhood.
Whoda thunk this is a town of night owls?
