My shit has been unusually dark in the past couple of days. Mind you my stool has been remarkably normal rather than suffering bouts of diarrhea rather than regular poop. I don't think that I'm bleeding inside or anything because it's still brown rather than reddish-black.

Pardon my phrasing but perhaps this too shall pass.

I came home on Thursday and discovered that my phone wasn't working. First thought was Qwest was being zealous over my phone bill being late. When I went to the Birdhouse I found out that they haven't disconnected the line and transferred me to repair. Something's up with the line and I haven't the faintest idea what might be the issue. Here's hoping it's nothing and I'll be able to log onto the internet after work on Friday.

Plus I had validation that my phone was still in service. I checked my voicemil from the Birdhouse. If the line had been disconnected I would've gotten a "LOL" from Qwest.

Late January I realized I was out of checks. Rent was due and I decided to get a money order from my bank and buy a box of checks.

February trudged on as February does with the same drag ass only rivaled by March. I checked my mailbox on a regular basis and didn't find them. By the third week I was really worried someone swiped them and was out having a party on my dime.

Since I work during the bank's customer service hours I left messages asking about the status of my checks. After some phone tag I was left a message today saying the order was never processed in the first place.

Oh dear.

Anyway they went ahead and ordered a box and all's well that ends well.

My sister will be coming to Colorado in March. The third or the fourth according to her. She and her boyfriend will be coming into Denver. Plus they won't be staying long in Colorado because they'll be renting some godawful SUV to drive to Las Vegas.

I sent my sister an email saying that one should conserve and be considerate of life and our planet with its diminishing resources. She never sent me a reply.

Anyway I hope this won't be awkward. I'll probaby take her to the Front Range Grill to eat outside, weather permitting, or Wild Ginger or someplace that's local rather than a chain. Also the nickel tour.

Just don't know what I'll do if her boyfriend comes along because I don't know the guy and won't be able to relax my guard.
