About Me

Dusk. Dusk is a darker shade of Twilight. Few people get through what I've gone through. Most people can't even handle tales of what I've survived.
My soul is Dusk.
My endeavor is to be forever vigilant against The Darkness.

THE PLAN for Labels

DUSK will be my works.
BONFIRE is...my mind.
PACER will be me rambling on. I gotta do it SOMEWHERE.
DQ will feature things that interest me.
SCROLL SEARCHING will be Scripture related research.

Current Nemesis

Just as a follow-up. All the chaos that has transpired concerning the maintenance crew of the apartment complex we live in, it's not over yet.

After replacing the shower tiles and dry-wall behind them, the splendid job done let our soap dish tumble off the shower wall a couple days later. About a day AFTER we had them clean all the caulk and dry-wall out of our toilet.

When we called them most recently, the soap dish wasn't the only problem. The toilet was leaking again. This time it was from the water box. I called, left a message, returned home after work, and was--despite having braced myself--shocked. No work had been done. Instead, a note had been left. It asked us to clean the bathroom and re-arrange our furniture so as to clear a way to remove the toilet! That's not necessary!

I called the next morning and conveyed my dismay and expert advice to the administrative... person---the... the friggin' secretary (screw politically correct!). I get home, the toilet has been REPLACED. WHY???!!! The soap dish is stuck back on, but is to remain covered in plastic for a week.

ONE WEEK LATER...

The plastic had been put on in such a way that the adhesive and caulk had no chance to dry. I'm doing it myself this time.
