BLURF Reminds me I bought two scratch off a couple weeks ago and still did not check because I like to think I won a huge amount of money. Maybe I’ll check today.
I have a gym in my building, just a tiny one, but with very tall ceilings. There are some light bulbs outs so PW is here with a lift changing all the fixtures to LED’s. Every time they move this lift it makes a very loud beeping noise and this looks to be an all day job. They are upsetting my dog.
I have a mechanic here working on the brakes of my GOV. It is a 15 passenger van that we hardly ever use because it is too big. My girl drove it the other day and said the brakes are spongy.
I am having coffee. I don’t have too much to do until after the 1st but I am here so Blurf. I would like to take the day off tomorrow too but I have to do payroll and it’s iffy whether I can do it at home or not. Maybe I’ll take a half day.
**MetalMouse **- barring something awful happening (or a major lottery win) I intend to work till the end of 2018. I do like what I do, frustrating tho it may be at times. When I told the boss I was taking off tomorrow, he was concerned it was work-related. It really isn’t - I just need some time to chill. And so I shall.
Almost lunch time. My brain is mucho fried because of this drawing I’m fighting with, so yay for a break!!!
Howdy Y’all! I’ve actually accomplished stuff today. Go Me! I have washed, dried, folded, and put away two loads of laundry even. I did not do errands cause, well, I didn’t want to and none of 'em are urgent must do right now things anyway. I have decided field peas with snaps, baked sweet N.O.T., and cornbread will accompany my world famous Eyetalian chikin for dindin.
Well, folks around the world are reading about it.
Let’s see. I can kinda talk, but it still makes me cough and makes my throat hurt, so I try to avoid it.
Hubby is coming back tonight, so I’m nagging the kids to do their chores and trying to get the house presentable enough that he won’t stress out when he comes home. I’ve been sick, so I haven’t been snapping the whip - on any of us. Sigh.
Sitting on the bed with my little dog and that feels pretty good, but I think I should get some laundry done. Maybe I’ll start that and return to my bed-sitting.
One of 'Beamette’s friends is so upset with school and her family that she is considering running away. I am proposing that she come here for a long summer visit instead (we’ll see if her family agrees) and we’ll take it from there. She’s only 13. I just can’t let her head to the streets. So if this doesn’t work out, I’m going to have to talk to her family. What a mess.
This has been a week for bonus money! The other day, we got our Capital Credits from the electric co-op we used in Florida - a whopping $38 and change. And today we got a VISA cash card for $25 from the heartworm meds **FCD **bought for Higgs at the vet’s. So we’re going to let Red Robin feed us tonight. I’m just too fried to cook - it was a busy, somewhat stressful day and I’s tahred.
Glad I don’t have to go in tomorrow. I need the break. So my weekend has begun. Yay!!
Dindin has been ingested and the kitchen cleanded up. I just ran some distilled vinegar and water through the coffee maker and a pot of just water is runnin’ through as I post. When that’s done I’ll run another pot of water through. This allegedly degunks the innards of said coffee maker so I do it once a month.
Spidey my world famous Eyetalian Chikin is on a Blog so a lot of the world has seen it. So There!
TWPTB are sayin’ now rain tonight but not tomorrow. We shall see.
My dog (Kona, the one that licks things for hours), is having a dream. The invisible mole people must be involved, because he’s twitching and barking in his sleep. My other dog actually got up and went over and stared at him.
Hubby may or may not have bought a $2000 bottle of scotch at the Chicago airport. He sent me a picture and said he did. He has a tricksy sense of humor so we’ll see. If he did, that scotch better be a magic elixir of some sort.
Back from RR - my burger was free today (their buy 9, get one free deal) so dinner, including tip, was under $20. So huzzah!
I’m about to assume the afghaning position. I may sleep with Mel tonight. At the very least, I’ve turned off the alarm already so I don’t accidentally get up at 5 tomorrow.
Do they make chihuahua sized noise canceling headphones butters?
metal mouse, you could always resort to my mom’s tactics and holler “Hey you!”.
I knocked off early again today (we got month end mostly wrapped up early so only one person needs to be there all day), swung through Lowe’s for more dirt and came home to play in said dirt. I got lettuce, peppers, two kinds of maters and herbs in pots in addition to the flowers from yesterday. A half an hour after getting things put away, we got about ten minutes of rain. Now if it doesn’t get windy, that should be good for the greenery.
Supper is the usual Thursday evening salvage of vegetation in the form of a veggie and chicken fritatta.
