Locksmith to the Stars?

Ok, not exactly the stars but I swapped the locks out for grandma neighbor. Now she has a key and working lock for her bedroom. Maybe the grandkids will stay off the roof? Ha!

The house didn't look any better in daylight. I came back here and fetched another screw because that old door knob set only had three screws, another had become stripped out. In fact the door jamb looked as if someone had tried to break in. Since I know this had been a drug house at one point I guess I can't be surprised. The jamb and door both need replacing, really. There's a foot hole in the back of the door.

I think at some point she may have had money to spend on herself, perhaps before she ended up caretaker for a brood of grandkids. Her bedroom set is nice, not truly high end, but very complete with two side tables, bed, dresser and matching mirror. I'm almost certain where it came from. Between that and the dining table downstairs... She did say there were other matching pieces in the kids rooms. Anyway, it's a bit sad as a circumstance. The grandkids clearly know they can get away with some stuff because there's so many of them.

I got my power cord spool from when the lawn mower was borrowed and the extension cord severed. It was a half day at school and she asked the one who'd already come home if she'd seen anything like that around. The kid knew exactly where it was and brought it to us. I was glad they still had it, I wasn't going to press the issue but figured what the hell, right, maybe it's around? I still swear it was green, not orange but my memory is fuzzy. I've got two or three, maybe four and I thought one was green and it was the green one that had. My memory isn't a 1/100th what it once was. I used to have a near photographic memory. Now if I can remember what I did in the past hour I'm doing well. :P

I napped this afternoon a bit when I got done with the lock change, made tuna this evening (the cat got some too). Now it's just after midnight, I chatted a bit with the neighbor as the fog rolled in. Not much new going on with him but he seemed a little more cheerful to chat than other days.

I'm concerned about one of my jasmine plants. The leaves are turning on me. Since this is just about right where the lemon tree had been I wonder if there's a problem with the soil. I also pulled a would-be lemon tree shoot tonight. That's the second one in two weeks.

I think I'd like tuna on buttered saltines to be my "last meal." My left ear hurts. *sigh* :/
