venting

Yesterday I waited all afternoon for a plumber who was supposed to show up after 1:00pm. After 6 I gave up and tried to call them and they were closed. I left a message for them to cancel and I would call a more dependable one. It was something that can wait. They called this am and said they would be here by 9 or 9:30. At 9:45 when they hadn’t showed up I called and cancelled them and have another one for Friday. It is something I want done before I leave Saturday. I have much to do and didn’t appreciate waiting around all day. (You expect them to call so don’t dare vacuum or leave the house or even talk on the phone.) Sigh! Oh well, I guess there are worse problems in this world.

I am off to play bridge this afternoon and will play again Thursday, that shortens the time to get ready for overnight guests and the reunion. I listened to a new Alice Munro book on tape and it isn’t worth discussing.
I almost think I need a cat to calm me down.
