On to Thursday.........

Was meeting a woman at 10:30 this morning to wallpaper a bathroom. I got there at 10:20 and there was a big cement truck in the driveway with about 8 workers and the woman was not home. She showed up about 11:10.

While I was waiting I started talking to the truck driver, who happened to be a large black 28 yr. old woman. She was filling the bobcats for the men toting the cement around to the back of the house. Such a happy person!!!! I asked her whether the dangling very fancy ring on her chin bothered her. (Shy person that I am) She said at first but no more. Then proceeded to explain the graduated 6 rings up each of her ears and the large stone stud in her tongue. Also tiny diamond studs in each cheek and she said she had a bellybutton ring but accidently ripped it out.
So, still being my shy old self, I asked if she had tattoos. She says "of course". One above her left breast of a dog that she had to have put to sleep, one on her right ankle of a rose and I forget what the one on her left ankle was. She couldn't show me because she had on heavy duty work boots. Quite a sight but she was very nice and bubbly.
Then I set up my pasting table on the patio and papered the bath in the basement. In 2 weeks I will be going back to the same house to paper 4 or 5 more baths. Very large house.

Dean called tonight to tell me that her friend Ed is in the hospital. He hasn't been well for a while, which can be expected at his age, but after going through 2 days of tests the doctors decided he needed to have a pacemaker immediately. So tomorrow morning he will have one implanted or whatever you call what they do. Sure hope he lives through this procedure.
