Chapter 1: The Dream Begins

I can't contain my excitement! I'm organizing what promises to be the ultimate spring break celebration. My dearest friends and family are going to be thoroughly impressed, and those petty neighbors who always try to outdo me? They’re about to experience a taste of their own medicine. The construction crew kicks off the digging tomorrow. It feels like a whirlwind leading up to this moment. I’m just so focused on the joy I’ll experience once I’m relaxing in my personal retreat.

As the project unfolds, my vision is materializing! This pool represents so much to me—it’s the pinnacle of my achievements in my own little corner of the world. When others gaze at this creation, they will see me shining brightly.

Initially, I was informed that the excavation would take two to three days. Here we are on day four, and it’s absolutely ludicrous. I’m striving to stay composed, but how can one remain rational in such a situation? It’s not my fault that there’s an abundance of rock. I didn’t place it there. This gathering is meant to be the foundation of my legacy. I’ve emphasized the necessity of adhering to the timeline. This contractor better not jeopardize my meticulously crafted plans.

Day five is here! I’m not complaining; I’m merely assessing this incompetent project manager who promised me everything. If he doesn’t come crawling back to me when he checks on the progress—or lack thereof—he will surely face my fury.

A cavern?! If I didn’t know better, I’d think fate is conspiring against me. This incompetent fool claims he warned me that this outcome was a possibility—slim, but still a possibility. Excuse me, but I would certainly remember that. He needs to devise a solution—and fast. I refuse to wait another day for what I’m entitled to.

This snake is attempting to convince me that the hole in my yard requires an inspection. Using safety concerns as an excuse?! He suggests that this could be part of a larger system. I know it isn’t. I just know. How could he possibly know anything? He can’t even manage basic tasks. This is a reminder for me to call my cousin, the lawyer, before the day’s end.

I will not simmer down! You will follow my directives, or you’re uninvited from all my pool parties.

Mur muhr muh muuurr muhr muh murrrh mur muhmur.

Real funny. If you would just do your job, these fools would be working tirelessly from dawn till dusk to ensure they meet MY deadline.

Muhhr murh muh muhhhmur?

Yes, I’m seated in my $500 pool chair staring at this disaster. At this stage, I should envision a fulfilling life. Instead, I’m confronted with a dark, ever-expanding void—stealing my happiness and sense of self.

And as always, keep on learning.
