Decisions

If there is some great scale hovering above me, weighing in the yin and the yang, or the good and the bad, or the black and the white, I wish I had more say so about who is dropping what on to it.

I just had a wonderful weekend, but I came home to discover the dog upstairs is peeing through the deck onto my chair (and I hope not my table.)

The lawn mowing service has sprayed grass all over my porch so that I had to sweep it off before I could scrub the chair.

Then came the hardest part:  how do I deal with all of this without looking like the neighborhood grouch?
