Overhead there is a cacophony of noise going on. Our roof was damaged during last year’s hurricane, and so the roofers are up there replacing it (just in time for this year’s hurricane season).

This is my day so far:

(1) One of the ten workers up there walks across the roof;

(2) Lulu, our pug, upon hearing the intruder, lets out a blood-curdling scream – sounding like a C-list actress from one of those awful slasher movies – from somewhere just behind me;

(3) I jump out of my skin, and then, eyes twitching, bellow, “Lulu! Shut up!”

(4) Lulu slinks off, tail between her legs, and shits on the bathroom floor.

(5) Immediately go back to number one, and repeat.

Occasionally, Lulu likes to mix things up by peeing on the bathroom floor, rather than shitting. I suppose I should just be thankful that she’s choosing to express her displeasure on the tiled floor, rather than on the carpets.
