Not so neighborly neighbors

I don’t know what the temperature or humidity was today, but it was miserable outside. During my run on the bayou trail the heat made it hard to breathe.

I’m not sure what to do about Blazer. Yesterday evening I left her alone in the house for a couple hours and she proceeded to go through the pantry and garbage cans. It looked like a small child had been left alone, especially when I found an empty roll of Ritz crackers and all the debris in her doggy bed. My neighbors are starting to “politely” complain more about her, because she howls all day when I’m at work. I’ve exhausted my options and did everything I could to give her a good home. I don’t know what else to do…

Beyond the complaints about Blazer, my once great neighbors have become quite intrusive. By far, I'm the youngest home owner on my street and the only one not retired. Out of no where they seem to think it is necessary to give me unwarranted advice about; my lawn, my dog, my house, my work etc. With my neighbors being seniors I have always been friendly and respectful. But I'm sorry to tell them, those days are over. I've started standing my ground and they don't know what to think when I put them back in their place. I'm making myself sound really bad, but trust me... a couple of these neighbors have plucked my last nerve. For the most part they are still good neighbors, but they need a hobby and stop being so damn nosy.

My knee issues are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Yesterday I had a painful and audible click with each step, which lasted a couple hours. I purchased a lightweight compression sleeve which I could wear long. The new sleeve resolved the clicking and overall swelling of my knee. I also bought a bottle of glucosamine with chondroitin. Maybe this stuff will help, I sure hope so for the price.

I’ve been “wheeling & dealing” for a couple days and I think everything is finally in order. Once deal is finalized I will break the news on my blog.
