Weeping Cherry, first is it is too early for this blooming, second is the tree I bought on the recommendation from the nursery was supposed to be tall and skinny, not short and fat. I wonder if the tree got it from me.
I have spent about 5000 on this stupid spot in the yard over the years. I have had the nursery come out and look and help me. I am thinking if we stay here I need to find the "penis statue guys" that were selling yard ornamentation in New Orleans and go with a nonliving landscape item.
To bring everyone up to date, hair is fabulous, money spent today was painful. I think I have truly become a Grosse Pointer, I am getting cheap.
Hair charges were fair but made me wince. Next I had to buy a new coffee maker and coffee bean grinder. When the coffee maker started growling this morning it was enough of this appliance talking back shit. The grinder also begrudgingly gave me it's final effort. I have an expensive coffee maker that is in the pantry broken and I need to get that fixed, don't know where and last time it took a month, so I need a coffee maker. 200 bucks later I have a bare minimum coffee maker and new grinder. Off topic but hilarious, my manicurist told me she is now spending 139.00 dollars a year for coffee, from Brueggers, it is such a deal as last year she spent almost 800 dollars on coffee. By the cup. She does not make coffee at home and buys it a cup at a time from "coffee shops". WTF.
IBS kicked in before I could buy any meat.
Mayor Bing, Detroit, on the verge of bankruptcy, is in the hospital for what is being described as inflamed intestines. Hmm, the doctors are saying it can be caused by stress. No shit.

Partial Recovery
Home since Friday evening and not up to par yet. We went for a walk Saturday morning and it was very chilly. All unpacked and put away and have the summer clothes in the closet and the winter stuff packed away. Now some laundry is in order.
The new ayi's came this morning on time and did not fuck up. We will see how long this lasts. Big Daddy did a lot of cleaning while I was gone and it is looking nicer in here.
Have to call a man about a job and I am trying to decide, do it before or after the nap. We will see in a bit how fast I fade.
Flight home was fine and Delta is as fucked up as ever. They should just paint SO WHAT on the sides of the plane and leave it at that.
Something curious happened while I was gone, they rebuilt the coffee shop. I know I am a crazy white furriner but why the hell do you build a coffee shop and 8 months later tear it out and rebuild it? This time tho they did build an outside deck. No change to the footprint so that was not the reason. Maybe they needed some Chinese credits for hiring people or something. Kinda reminds me of Plant Loco but Plant Loco redid everything 3 times minimum.
Taxi driver from the Pudong airport was hilarious, I told him to slow down a couple times and he kept telling me May Quanch (sp) which roughly translates to no problem, no big deal. By the time I gave him the final directions to the apartment he was peeing his pants laughing. He got a good tip for the humor alone.
