Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ YAWN ‘Tis 53 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of only 75! However, the warm up (rewarm up?) is a’comin’. Temps back in the 90s Firday.
Not much else to add to that this mornin’. ShinyCat there are sob’s (and for Nava dob’s ) everywhere. I don’t know what else to say except that I wish that wasn’t true. Just come play with us.
Now I shall seek more caffiene. I need to wake up! Also rumbly tummy is bein’ very demandin’ re feedin’ right now. Then, alas, I must purtify for irk.
Now, my little garden is weed free for the immediate future.
DogBut, I have publicly stated in the MMP in the recent past that moving was fun when I could shove all I owned into a '73 Ford Pinto. I’d kill for a chance to move again with just a station wagon.
Good morning all! Well, instead of getting ready to see my surgeon for the follow-up post-op to the cataract surgery this morning, I am instead getting ready to visit the pulmonary specialist to try to find out why my oxygen saturation levels are so low - low enough that they wouldn’t do the cataract surgery because I wasn’t prescribed oxygen to go home with. The O2 was delivered to my apt. last night; the portable version only holds up to 3 hours, though. There’s a lot I’ve yet to find out. First to figure out how in the heck to work an 8 hour day, if possible.
To say I am not a happy camper is a gross understatement, but well… I guess at least i"m an alive camper. Tomorrow I go to my primary care doc and we’ll sort all this through. In the mean time, I’m sucking down O2.
Body milk, unscented, creamy. I’m a fan of aloe vera stuff myself, but my friends with skin conditions tend to be in love with Nivea.
Considering killing both Mom and SiL; I think Mom is already having her yearly around-June depression (sigh). Will kill neither because that would wreck havoc with Middlebro and the Kidlets, but I’m seriously, seriously tempted.
Oh, and somebody in the local IRS is a moron but it should be cleared up come Tuesday next week (I’ve got the appointment to do my yearly income tax for last year). Will not be killing any IRMorons either, partly because I hear there’s no internet in prison and partly because I don’t know the actual name and would not want to hurt someone whose IQ is actually within normal parameters.
I am at irk. It is irksome. I have Fat Club tonight and I am feeling fat. Is there something wrong with my week? I am keeping out of Nava’s way though, she is definitely stabby at the moment and far too dangerous to be around.
We are getting a little further ahead with the holiday plans, looks like it will be a September trip involving flying into Vegas then heading by bus to LA and by train to San Francisco where we will do all the touristy things we can think of. I’ve started a thread on IMHO for hotel suggestions (we already know where we want to stay in Vegas) as we have no idea where’s best to be located.
My tubs of veggies are growing nicely, I looked at them yesterday and am pleased to report that I now have four runner bean shoots coming up. That must mean my fingers are officially turning green!
Other than that, I have read but not really retained - we are doing exam paper splitting, and checking huge spreadsheets of results at the moment so my eyes are going a bit funny from all of that.
I’m off to see the eye doc tomorrow anyway for a follow-up appointment after my Saturday morning in A&E with my ulcer, so hopefully he’ll tell me I’m all healed as it definitely feels much better today. I should finish the medication tomorrow so that should have sorted out the problem.
Saw that. I forwarded to some HOG chapters I know around western NY and NC with a request to do the same. Bikers notice things and get around a lot.
Didn’t know you drove an Escort ------ now I got a sorta-ear-worm on that old comedy routine about the guy who broke down and called Jills Escort Service. He got a jump but it cost him $200
Nava tends to be a little stabby re mom and sil. Add in the IRS and the stabbiness multiplies exponentially.
Herbs hope everything gets figured out soon. Yikes!
mmmmmms hope the job stuff gets all sorted out soon. Do keep us posted.
ShinyCat this board is full of “experts”, some for real and some so-called. Then there’s the ususal assortment of jerks as with all message boards. Dopers tend to be more opinionated and I guess that’s what attracts folk here. Fortunately I’ve found the advice from the real experts to be a lot more helpful than the jerks and that by and large good folk out number the jerks. Thus I keep reuppin’ each year.
Rebo won anything yet?
Oh and I have some helpful advice for the next time anybody does not want to cook. I have been led to understand that the reason stoves get so hot is because they have the devil in them. This knowledge is courtesy of Andrew the cutest little three year old boy in the universe so I’m pretty sure it’s factual. So, next time you don’t want to cook, just claim the stove is possessed. It’s all win-win!
Ok, I suppose I should go back to irk. After I see what’s up around the dope of course.
Unpleasant rumor about the offer of retirement incentives - allegedly it will now require us to depart by the end of July. Nope, can’t do it. Now, it is just a rumor, but the way things are going… eeeesh.
However, on Tuesday, we’ve got a “Networking Fair” - other federal agencies from the area are coming to gather resumes and talk to folks. One that will be present is NAVAIR. I was part of NAVAIR for 15-ish years. I intend to talk to them. I’ll even dress all professionally, unnatural tho that be for me. If they’d have a place for me, I’ll just bite the bullet and work till I’m 62. It’s just a bit over 4 years - I can do that. So we shall see.
Daughter has something going after school today, so she won’t be home till later. I may get **FCD **to take me out for dinner. Yeah, that’s the ticket…
Howdy Y’all! Home from irk and got a meatloaf in the oven. I have mac & cheese mixed up and ready to go in the oven in a bit. Green beans, steamed squish and rolls shall complete the menu. Da bear is in cook mode today! If dessert is desired there’s ice cream. YAY!!!
Today I helped somebody who helped me with landin’ this gig with some Medicare questions and concerns. Felt like I was returnin’ a favor, to which I say
I had to go home from irk today because I was feeling nauseous, woozy, and trembly. I’m wondering if it’s major allergies.
Culinary Boy just got cowardly fired from his job. Apparently the owner decided to use the excuse that a tape wasn’t balanced correctly, when it wasn’t even there because his lousy computer system messed up last week. He waits until Culinary Boy comes in for his shift only to discover he’s been written off of the schedule and the owner is training a new guy. From what I’ve heard about that guy from someone I work with that used to work there, this is SOP for him. Now Culinary Boy is majorly discouraged because he’s out of work again.
) everywhere. I don’t know what else to say except that I wish that wasn’t true. Just come play with us.
But comfy!
