Good lord, just after the last post detailing how we're settling in with two women on rotating weekends, suddenly out of the blue a new woman shows up! Which has thrown us into absolute and utter confusion around here.
Is she just a temporary bauble while the other two are 'busy' for some reason, or do we have to fit her into the rotation?
I have to tell you she's not like the rest of them. Blond, yes but with short bobbed hair, not falling to her shoulders. Tall? No. And as for age, she's nowhere near 30 - much less 50 or 60 like the others my 76 year old employer generally hangs out with.
Which makes me wonder somehow if she might be a professional just coming over to fill in a gap between Splenda and SweetNLow.
And get this: instead of a sweetener for her morning coffee, she asked "Do you have any Cremora?"
What on earth is that? I called our concierge delivery service and asked them to pick some up right away and get it over here ASAP!
As for Ester, our Upstairs Maid, she's simply appalled! She's had it with washing and ironing sheets in rapid order and demands that I buy more.
Which I'm ordering online this very evening from Pratesi in Italy, their top-of-the line $5,000 for ONE set of sheets, just to get back at the old man! (Should I buy two or three sets since this whole business seems to be spinning out of control?)
But here's the scary thing about Cremora: when I brought the morning paper to the breakfast table she gave me the once over.
To back up here and be a little more explicit - what she actually did was look into my eyes, then glance down to my crotch, and then slowly back up to my eyes.
Which, what does that even mean? This is not my first rodeo around here, you know?
But I'm thinking if Cremora stays around for awhile there just might be problems in the mansion!
Thanks for dropping in this evening. Hope this post didn't cross a line, but things can be so confounding and confusing around here at times,
Andrew
At least it's good fuel for the blog!
ReplyDeleteFriendly advice - you might consider having a voice recorder at the ready (if you have an android phone, you can setup a shortcut to start recording without looking at the phone). She might be preparing some shenanigans, and having some proof of what was actually said may end up being very helpful.
Good fuel? LOL! Yes I guess it is, unnerving though it may be. That's not a bad idea for voice recording. There's camera's and listening devices in the house, but personal back up can't hurt! Thanks for the advice and hope all's well in Australia.
