I went to sleep a little after four a.m. this morning though part of me was still very much awake. It was a natural occurrence for me to listen to my children while they were fumbling around trying to get dressed every morning. Even though Tony was in charge of making sure they were properly dressed and fed, part of me was still on high alert, just in case the kids wanted to go about things their own way. But fortunately, I didn’t have to go into Superwoman mode this morning because everything went smoothly.

After I heard my last offspring head out the door, I turned over in my bed intending to fall back to sleep. But, for some odd reason, my body wouldn’t let me. I lay there quietly for about fifteen minutes when I heard somebody knock on my front door. It was entirely too early for company, so who in the hell could it be this time of morning? On a good day, I would not have hesitated to get out of the bed to curse out this unexpected visitor. But why not let Tony handle it? Before I could yell out his name he yelled, “Who is it?”

For the life of me, I couldn’t hear the other person’s voice on the other side of the door. I couldn’t figure out whether it was a man or a woman because the voice was so muffled. But then all that changed when he opened the door.

“Oh hey, how you doing?” I heard Tony say.

“I’m fine. Is Rhonda available?” I heard a woman ask which, of course, made me sit straight up in bed. Curiosity was beginning to get the best of me and I wanted to know who this woman was. I sat still and listened closely to her voice in hope of recognizing it. I figured if Tony knew her, then so should I.

“Oh, nah. She’s asleep right now. Is there something I can help you with?”

“Well see, this is the thing - for the last three months, your rent has been late,”

“Yeah, I know that,” Tony told her.

“Well, she hasn’t been including the late fees and now there’s a $150 maintenance fee balance. It needs to be paid ASAP,” I heard her stress to Tony.

“All right. When she gets up, I’ll let her know.”

“You do that and also let her know that I’ll be expecting to see her by the end of the week.”

“I sure will,” Tony replied.

“Oh yeah, one other thing,” started to say.

“What’s up?”

“Has the maintenance worker corrected y’all’s water heater problem?”

“Nope, they sure didn’t. As a matter of fact, one guy came through here about a week ago, unscrewed a couple of screws and said he’d be back later because he needed to get a special piece to fix it. But, he ain’t never show back up.”

“When was this?”

“About a week ago.”

“Okay, I’ll get on that and have someone else come out and have that fixed in no time.”

“Thank you so much, Ms. Lady.
