October 9

I have been having a very miserable time up here in Ruidoso with no phone and being locked in the house.  I started to email Carrie to call Gabriel to tell Chris of my dilemma but Mary Ann was all twitting about it and she called him and he said he was on his way home.  I have been outside twice today, and it is not fun, but neither is it fun sitting here at this computer playing hearts and poker all day sitting at the kitchen table on a hard chair.  It's either that or lay down on the bed.  Lots of fun.  The front room is still walled up.  The upstairs is a mess.

So, about 9 this morning I realized the workers weren't coming...I didn't know it was SATURDAY!!!!!
But Mary Ann emailed me and said Chris said the key was in the console..so I climbed BACK out and went to look again and lo and behold there is was!  I thought he meant it was on the car key thingy, which WAS in the console but there was no key on it.  But there way in the back of the console stuffed in all his junk that he hoards (he would be a hoarder if I let him) was the key.  Anybody could have missed it.  You cannot imagine the pure JOY when I found that key. 

So I had gotten the doors unlocked about 30 minutes before he got home so he doesn't think I'm totally brain dead, but almost.  And he went and got the key out of Sam's ("easily" he said) (but I think not, if anything I had loosened it up for him) and got the door opened under the house which has a key in there (and I knew that) but it was so stuck I couldn't get it opened.  I must have loosened that up for him too.  Although I did think about getting one of the workers big giant tools and bashing it in.  But that would have meant crawling back in and crawling back out.  So anyway all's well that ends well.  And I don't have to sleep with that gigantic knife tonight.  But he is kinda looking at me with a little bit of pity.  I'm not sure if he feels sorry for me or thinks I'm an idiot.  I'm hoping he feels sorry for me.

The Spurs lost Thurs nite to Houston!!!  So tonight they are playing Miami Heat in SA!  GO! SPURS! GO!
