HUH???

This week has been another week from the twilight zone.
I washed, vacuumed, scrubbed, polished and cleaned for days. I got up every morning and had my coffee on the patio with David then the day began.
I saw my doctor and he continued my regimen of 200  mg of thyroid med a day. That is a LOT.
I struggle some days but I do make it, I want to sleep some days but on work days, I go to work and I often wish "I want this day over and NOW."
Somehow I make it although I have to tell myself, "You can do it, you can do it, You can do  it,
Smile Sue, smile, Be nice, Do not get lost in your thoughts"
Yeah I do that too.
I have worked with DSL for a few eeks, beginning April
I think we are at the bottom of the problem. my Wireless card may be going out in my main computer. No problem, I moved it to the spare room. Who cares? It works now.

So Saturday comes, We think we have all our problems over with DSL when we wake about or  and the NO SERVICE light is on.
OH NO, Not again.
Now to make matters worse we also have no phone service.
Finally after rebooting, resetting ETC. I call ATT.
There is an outage in our area and it is being worked on, I say, "Thank you God it is not our computer again."
As the day progresses, we still have no phone service so all my calls are cell phone calls.
Good thing we have a cell phone.
Around dusk, two men show up at the door, I was taken back by the questions.
David and I had worked in the back Yard all day.
1. I, me, Sue, Mom, Ma maw and the person that is scared of electricity installed a new fountain pump. I mean a New Motor to the system.

Yep I did  it, I was on the ground on my knees, on a flat stone, on a yard helper, on a towel, lying down, Lostus position,  you name it I was in the position. 
I opened up and checked the wiring on the pool pump so I could figure out the schematic.
Yep I did it, First time.,.
Of course we turned off the pool breaker, the house spa breaker and anything that could let a little electricity in.
Finally installed, Need to put the back on but first we must run the pump.
IT ran great, however no water was pumping. OH yeah we had to prime it as the lines were dry.
Wow it was great to  see my pool fountains working again and I did it.
I mowed the entire field that we keep mowed, not the full
 acres but the acre or so that surrounds the house.

OH Yeah back to the men at the door,
The first question,
"What happened in your back yard today Mam?"
My back yard? I am so confused. I said, "I don't know, What did happen in my back yard?"
"Well someone cut the Fiber Optic lines and tried to steal copper."

I am so confused, Am I being questioned as to my involvement?
I know nothing,  the second gentleman saw my confusion and chimed in, He then explained how this was happening everywhere.
'Well this is the second time for us.
Someone is climbing trees on our fence line, cutting lines and stripping copper.
Problem!!!!!! on Friday night, They cut a Fiber Optic cable and No copper is in that line.
They stole the wrong thing.
DUMMY'S!!!!!!!!
If they are that stupid, they could have cut an electric line and would have fried.
Previously they did cut the DSL line and get the copper.
Theory "Copper is a black market item, No record of people selling it is in our area, (so they say)
To  sell copper, fingerprints are taken, photos are taken etc. It is a high marketable item.

So we need to cut down brush but someone stole out chain saw so that is out of the question.
We also have an old milk shed on the upper corner of the property and that is well hidden by elderberry bushes, although David and I spent lots of time cutting and pulling out limbs and trees.
It is now all grown back and more dense than ever.
I have given permission to ATT to cut it all out but that wont or cant do it.
I just want them caught, I am tired of people stealing and taking what is not theirs, Hard work goes into installing those  cables and now more hours are being used.

Today was work and another long day, wanting to come home. HOME HOME HOME.
Now I am off for
 days and then in a row. Whew, I need energy.
That is my life this week. Busy Busy Busy but we are

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.
