A Rather Trying Day

Even after telling my neighbors not to come knocking in the afternoon (especially if they don't hear the TV or music on) Lo and behold! 6:30 PM comes a tapping at the door. I knew it could only be them wanting to borrow something again. I whispered to the dogs to hush and went back to my nap. How many times do I have to tell these buffoons that I usually am sleeping (or trying) at that time of day? Knocking on my door at 6:30 PM is like 4:30 AM to a day shift worker. My "normal" lunch time is 2:30 AM. I'll just slightly modify my plans for transforming the swamp into a rock garden/ parking area. Come spring I'll start w/ some plants along the property line. I have some wicked blue agave in pots that I can put out along w/ dividing and spreading out the yucca and prickly pear cactus I already have there. Maybe a nice (for me, not so much for them) thick privacy screen of giant bamboo. As I am immune to poison ivy I could get downright evil if push comes to shove!

I spent at least an hour and a half trying to get my cell phone to share photos and videos w/ my computer, finally giving up when I realized my blood pressure was about to blow. I had mashed the screen hard enough to crack it. Time for me to admit my tech skill limit had been passed and I'm gonna have to ask for help w/ this one. If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Then quit, no need being a damn fool about it!
