CHIRP

This thing has been chirping since 

Friday night...

well almost...

It magically stopped 

for several hours yesterday?

then started back up

last night around 1 a.m. and is still chirping...

Now how in blue blazes am I

to balance on a 6' ladder

and reach the upper half of my body 

off and over the Juliet balcony to reach the 

blooming thing?

It looks like a walkway but it's not.

I stuffed blankets under the door

 last night and stuffed

cotton in my ears and

turned on my fan full blast

in a room already 60 degrees from 

the cold spell, which meant I

had to drag out the down comforter.

CHIRP

CHIRP

CHIRP

Turned the tv on with the timer

 and finally 

fell asleep exhausted.

CHIRP

BACK UP AT 6 A.M.

Years ago it acted up and by chance

my handyman guy came by and crawled up 

there and dealt with it...

his handprint is still over 10 ' up on the wall

I was convinced he would 

pitch off and fall.....down down down

scared me to pieces

The truss repair guys

 are coming again tomorrow.

Yeah those guys..

since MAY!

I plan to beg one of them to please 

help me replace the battery and

shut the damn thing up...

which makes no sense since it's wired in 

and yet still needs a battery?

life is befuddling down to 

the simplest things

but I rolled and wrapped wools

to tuck into a new storage area

in the studio

I folded fabrics so that they would 

 stack and fit quite nicely into a cabinet

I tidied and swept

life is befuddling

and so good
