I'm having great difficulty walking because of my ankle. I was mostly useless this morning and last night with final preparations for the carpet installers. They are here now. Hubby had to run a long errand. I don't like being home alone. I don't mean that I'm afraid of the carpet installers, just unhappy that I may have to manage something at some point and just ill at ease because of the noise. Apparently they are just throwing the old carpet out of our windows, from the second floor. I don't know why workers do this. Laziness? It can easily damage stuff (windows, roofing, gutters, siding). I also gave one of the guys a firm warning that our neighbor's 4 year old daughter often walks around in our front area, unattended. Her frequent curiosity may inspire that even more. It would be HORRIBLE or even tragic if they hurt her!

Update: I just hobbled to the front door and saw that they put a whole bunch of old carpeting and padding on our neighbor's side of the garden (even on flowers) that we share with them. I had to ask them to move it from there and not put any more there. I showed the property line. I also warned the other worker about the little girl. Good grief! I'm sort of transitioning to the point where I almost want to cry.

I just heard the little girl and rushed (to my best ability) to tell her to stay far away. That it is dangerous.
