No worries about writing me back. You are in charge of 5 or 9 people I am in charge of two, myself and my husband and dog. That makes three. I am no mathematician.

We have a mouse that eats our bar soap if we forget to hang it up.
 
I have a sign at the basement boiler room shower to remind us to put up the soap but we need to remind ourselves to read the sign.
 
My neighbors surveillance camera is beeping every quarter of a second. I am going insane. I wrote to the building inspector yesterday which feels like a decade ago in BEEP time.
 
I am ready to take a shovel and smash the camera but then I'd be in trouble with the police.
 
I read a wonderful passage in the letters of George Sand and Gustave Flaubert and I must copy it out to my blog. All about noise (Mrs) George Sand does not mind noises in fact she loves them. Flaubert loathes the noises. He tries to like them for the sake of her.
 
It first started on December 30th (the surveillance beeping) and got resolved after I ran into the building inspector on a dog walk. (such a lucky girl I am.) I introduced myself and told him that I am "that lady" who calls about everything. 30 years in the challenging 911 neighborhood in the city that I LOVE.
 
But the beep has begun again. I wrote to building inspector again. I must be patient. So I play Bach, Neil Young and Amy Winehouse and everyone youtube hands me.
