COMPLAINTS DEPT.

Peg doesn't like Bonnie's handwriting. Newest major issue. On Bonnie's desk is a big desktop blotter size monthly calendar where appointments are noted, where The Staff write down their hours, and so on. Peg can't read it. A combination of:

1)  "having to go all the way into the dining room" (now the office, Command Central, and which is all of nine steps away from the butcherblock)
2) not being able to read Bonnie's handwriting
3) the calendar being too full to read anyhow
4) not understanding the notes even if she could read the writing

Outside Bob, it seems, has trouble with Bonnie's writing too, as does Dominick, although Terri is "fine with it". It has been decided that Bonnie will now:

1) buy a second smaller calendar on which to note essential Peg-related items, appts etc., which Peg can keep near her at the butcherblock in the kitchen.
2) Staff hours will be noted on another calendar
3) Bonnie will try and improve her handwriting (which incidentally I have little or no trouble reading)

Peg doesn't like Terri speaking on the phone to her son at night, it's "keeping her awake". Terri's bed is around the corner from Peg's bed. Her son (31) currently has some troubles and needs his mother's advice and or/take. All perfectly normal, but Terri, it has been decided, will now speak to he son from the kitchen. (While Peg is snoring away)

Peg is confused by the changing schedules of Overnighters Terri and Dominick, which have to do with both Terri and Dominick's other work schedules, as both have other jobs, she works for a charity and he teaches fashion design at a high school. The upshot is that their schedules will continue to change and Peg will continue to remain confused.

Peg is having nightmares about spiders. Nothing to be done on this one. Except maybe get rid of those rubber tarantulas I put under her pillow.

Peg's eyes are red and blurry and she can barely read anymore. Which you'd think would save having to complain about illegible handwriting, but no.

Peg doesn't want to move to an apartment now. Has changed her mind.
