Oops

Sorry, I didn't mean to vanish like that, however briefly. I've been so busy just surviving minute to minute and day to day that I haven't had anything left over to write about it. I know that sounds melodramatic, but it's true. Or at least, it's how I feel.

One of the hardest parts about all of this is the nagging feeling, deep down inside, that I'm being a baby and that I should be able to just shrug my shoulders, take a deep breath, and get over it. I cried for half an hour the other day when I found out that (for the second time this year) the landscapers decided to weed my garden for me with a weed-whacker. Thr first time, they only destroyed the soybeans. This time they shredded half our green been patch, chopped all the leaves off the eggplant and half the vines off the cucumbers, and decimated the outer row of tomatoes. Yeah, it's frustrating, but it's not worth hysterics. Grow up, take a deep breath, move on.

I did make it to my doctor, at least, amid rather deep fears that he would tell me that it was just a stiff neck and that I should grow up, stop being such a whiner, and learn to live with it. Instead, I have scary muscle relaxants and a warning that I may need physical therapy. With any luck I'll start feeling better soon, and then I'll magically regain my ability to cope.

Right now, what I want more than anything is to climb into bed, pull the blankets up to my ears, not hear anything unpleasant, and sleep for about three days straight.

Oh, well.

Um, no, you shouldn't just "get on with it", you should call the landscapers and complain vociferously. I've been somewhat startled in the last couple years that the few times I lost it and yelled at someone for something they really had done wrong, it produced pleasing results.

What She Said. You can be polite, but by all means let them know that you are PISSED about this, and There Will Not Be A Recurrence, Is That Clear?

*sigh*

I've complained to the landscapers. Multiple times - they do something like this every year. If anything, it's getting worse instead of better. And I can't fire them; my landlord is the one who hired them and he's the one in charge.

And I've complained to my landlord, too. And he keeps having Serious Talks with the landscapers, and they still keep destroying the garden. Short of moving, or building a brick wall around the garden, I don't think this is going to stop.

Have you try the magic words "I'm going to sue your balls off?"

My gardener would die to know someone had used a weed wacker around a veggie patch. I'm sure this must have been done when the supervisor wasn't around. Complain! Recieve compensation! You deserve it!!
