Playing with fire

What a brave man my landlord is....that or he's incredibly stupid, I'm not sure which. Perhaps a little of column A and a lot of column B.

My doorbell rang bright and early at 8am this morning. I knew exactly who it was and why. They had decided that they were going to sweep the parking lot but didn't specify a time and I had planned on moving my car when I left for work. I lay there in bed wondering if he would just go away. He rang my doorbell again. That pissed me off.

I dragged my tired (but fabulous) ass out of bed and scowled at my landlord as he politely asked me to move my car.

I felt fury building within me but kept it in check by keeping my mouth closed (well that and I had some morning breath).

So after moving my car and stumbling back into my shoebox (aka my apartment) I tried to go back to sleep but alas with a bedroom window that provides a stunning view of the parking lot (and therefore all the noise that goes with it) sleep was not in my near future.

I decided that if I was going to be up at this ungodly hour then I might as well make the most of it and get ready for work.

This would then give me ample time to drive 15 minutes out of my way, to buy an overpriced latte, and be a little bit snobby. I mean seriously, my day doesn't officially start until the clock hits double digits or I've had copious amounts of caffeine.

The latte was perfect and curbed some of the aforementioned rage.

And for a bit a reality check: As I was driving 15 minutes out of my way (normally I walk to work and could buy a perfectly decent cup of coffee from a locally owned shop across the street from my shoebox but today only one thing could make me happy. That little white cup with the green circle. ahh Starbucky's my one true love.) to buy my overpriced latte, Peaches was waiting for an ambulance to move him from the hospital to the rehabilitation centre. That thought sobered me. Then I remembered I wouldn't be me if I wasn't at least a bit of a snobby bitch, and besides it's good news that he's out of the hospital and will be fully into his rehab.
