Need to get them out of my head. Let thoughts flow across the monitor, while plugged into Sarah Mclachlan: I Love You.
Men on each side of the house weld steel beams, drill more concrete and dirt, build retaining walls. Water line broke again. Laundry won’t get done today. Guess I’ll have to resort to bikini underwear.
Power flickers as fish entertain Pandy on a flat screen. Spa music lulls Peaches to sleep. I dance to Sade, Prince, and Sarah – then tap on the keyboard.
In a red blazer, Ann whizzes down the stairs trailing hints of Shalimar. I rush down to get the welder’s truck moved. Earlier, one of the steel beams fell on his hood. I watched it happen. Let out a big sigh as if fell away from the sliding glass door.
It’s lunch time. I noticed them huddled by the bamboo with their tortilla grill. Oh yeah – I need to eat breakfast. Maybe I can even get another cup of coffee. They’re singing Mexican songs now. Wonder if there’s tequila in the water. After all, it is Friday and Pay Day.
