The world is run by Mickey Mouse and today he came to my house.

I'm not kidding. My day was like a bad cartoon! It started with the soon to be ex breaking the "No Entry Before 9am" rule. But I was already up and dressed and he knocked on the door so politely, that I had it open before I realized it was him. His coffee maker was broken (how?) and he was desperate for coffee. So I let him in. I had things to discuss with him anyway, and hell, the sun was shining, he was in a pleasant mood and so was I. So we shared a few cups of coffee on the porch planning the work to be done on the front lawn (he may be the soon to be ex, but you can bet I'm going to work him for all he's worth to get the outside of the house perfect before the for sale sign goes up!). And then Mickey Mouse showed up. A blue sedan with huge white polka dots came cruising down the road slowly. I couldn't believe my eyes. We both watched it approach the house, and as people are wont to do on our street for some reason, it stopped right in the middle of the road. There was a sign on the side of the car that said "Spot Removal Inc." Don't ask, because I didn't, so I have no idea what that meant! Out of this clown car emerged a rolly polly little man in suspenders, a straw hat, a white shirt, black slacks, and yes you guessed it a polka dot bow tie! He had some papers in his hand and came waddling up the walk to the porch. The soon to be ex looked at him enquiringly, and the little man said "Are you Mr. .......?" "Yes", says the soon to be ex. The little man handed him the papers and said: "You've been served" and proceeded to waddle back to his car. So of course the sun chose that moment to hide behind a cloud! Coward! The soon to be ex sank back in his chair and proceeded to read the papers. At first his face was pink, then red, then downright purple. I was trapped, with him between me and the front door, and couldn't make a quick, quiet exit. Finally he looks up, stands up, takes a step towards me, and falls off the edge of our narrow porch. (there's no railing yet). Now my peonies are all crushed and I'm heartbroken! He flailed around a bit and I beat it the hell into the house and locked the door. I KNOW that purple face colour and what it means and I wasn't taking any chances. He banged on the door really hard and the light cover above his head fell down on him and that's when the cursing began. Tightening that cover was on his 'to do' list four months ago, so I had no sympathy for him. I went and got my cordless phone and my lighter and stood in front of the door (it's got 15 glass panels in it) put the phone to my ear, and began clicking the lighter. He stared at me, opened his mouth, thought better of it, and went back to his RV. He only tripped once on the way and avoided the lilac bushes this time! lol I kept watch through the windows off and on all day and three times I saw him emerge from the RV and start across the road, and three times turn around and go back. An hour or so ago, he left for work and I am now on my way to bed and will sleep well because he will be gone until well after I get up tomorrow. Stay tuned. The fun is about to begin. LOL Have you ever met a real life Mickey Mouse?
