> [@Seanette](#): > > Home from my first final of the week. Unit test tomorrow, final Saturday afternoon, final Tuesday evening. > > Successfully registered for the three classes I need next semester, and even got the sections I wanted. Good luck! Sah-son has two classes done, took the finals and turned in the final assignments tonight. Two more finals to go, one at home, one at the testing center. I can’t wait, now I can get him to catch up on some things around here. I know I am anal about English but I think this post is FB doesn’t say what the author intended Picture of dog face - maybe a pit bull Caption says: My human owns a gun . . . . Pray he gets to you before me I think poor dog ☹ he has to worry about his human shooting him. ---

I agree it could have been worded better. I’d have captioned it “Pray he gets to you before I do”. Hope your son’s finals go well! ---

I just walked in; dinner will be…something from the freezer. **Ultra** f-in’; shitty day! ☹ (Talked to a friend or two; hoping to salvage it since other people are being nucking fidiots. :mad:. It takes a **lot** for me to walk away from a charity event; but I’m fearing I may need to from this one, which was personal, & that really upsets me. ☹☹ :() Stopped by the semi-local brewery after training to get some Gingerbread Jesus (tapped Fri eve). The barmaid was _good_; gave me a taste of something else, which is the _bestest_ I’ve ever had\*. Unfortunately, I drove there, which limited my ability to sample some more of their _great_ products. Mebbe tomorrow night??? **red** , suck it up!.. **Barbaro** had a bad knee, & you know what happened to him! :eek: - A Belgian Strong Dark ale, aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels. Sweet and malty, notes of banana, spice, dark brown sugar, rye whiskey and oak 9.8% ---

Thanks everyone for the support. Everyone is achy! **Red** & Rosie, hope you both feel better ASAP! Starting on Sunday they’re switching me from Graveyard to Mornings. It’ll be a nice change - I’ll be awake when everyone else is, finally. I like the 6-2 shift because I can go to the gym and swim laps for an hour before work. Time to start taking my health more seriously than I have been! And my scrapbooking. Haha! I’m still working on 2011. I need to catch up. ---

Nothing like being awakened by a cat pissing on your shoulder… :mad: I don’t know what’s going on with Taz. When we came home from work yesterday, he had half of the base cabinet doors open in the kitchen, plus the cabinet in the hall bath. Then he kept climbing on me while I was trying to relax. Now I’ve got a comforter in the laundry room waiting to be laundered when I get home. What a day… Plus I discovered that the three drawings I did earlier in the week got screwed up with the software change, so I have to redo them. Luckily, I’d saved them as .pdf so I just need to use that as a guide. Still, what a pain in the ass! It’s payday, so there’s that, but so far, I’m not too impressed. Happy Thursday anyway. 😛 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 44 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 74 and partly sunny for the day. So coolish in the mornin’ and warmish in the afternoon. This means I start the day wearin’ a jacket and hope I don’t leave it at irk when I leave. **rosieand Red** hope y’all are feelin’ better today. OK, that’s all I got for now. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands to be fed. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. At least today is my Firday. Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

Blurf. Up, caffeinated and at work. Finally managed to sort out today’s exam hassles and hopefully everything is going ok for the student who needs extra time for stuff. I had a secret meeting with my manager this morning, she said our assistant manager is leaving and she asked if I would be interested in taking on her post as a secondment. I am tempted to give it a go, I can do my job standing on my head so I guess it’s time for a bit of an adventure. Nothing else exciting today, I have irk, a late afternoon meeting, and then grocery shopping beckons when I get home. Other than that, the rest of my little world trundles on as normal. Hope all you achy sickies are feeling better today! ---

I managed to get another 3 and a half hours sleep, so I do feel a little better. It was actually too warm in the bedroom last night. I took a pain med and a muscle relaxant about midnight, and it just hadn’t fully kicked in yet when I posted in the wee small hours. \*\* {{{{{Red}}}}}\*\* **Mooooom** :eek: and last but not least, **BLURF**! ---

Happy Thorsday! It’s a foggy 41 degrees outside, supposed to get up to a whopping 57 today and up into the 60s over the next few days. A bit warm for December. Today is music final day, the one he worries about the most. Fortunately, he can take a page of notes with him. He could skip the final and still get a C in the class so it’s really a no pressure test. It’s nice that the weather is warming up a bit, once the finals are over he can get outside and clean up the yard. 😃 I needed an attachment for the leaf vacuum so we can use the composting bags, it’s supposed to be delivered today. Perfect timing! He won’t think so. {{{ **Red** }}} {{{ **Rosie** }}} ---

My boss finally came to see about giving me work. Lucky for him, everything I did on Moanday was eaten when we got a program upgrade, so I’ll spend much of today redoing 4 fairly complex drawings. Dammit. Thank goodness I’d saved the PDFs - all I have to do is copy what I’d done, so it should go pretty quick. We shall see. Back to work with me… ---

**spidey** , don’t shoot me! :eek: **{{{rosie}}}** I just calledmy boss to tell him I wouldn’t be in today. As soon as the doctor’s office opens, I’ll be calling them. I’m not looking forward to the trip down the stairs. ---

red and rosie, hope you get feeling better. I average about 1-2 days sick leave a year, damn if I know why since I just barely take care of myself, but being sick (and having to go to work) is no fun. My colleague at work is off today as his wife was diagnosed with gallstones and had an operation Wednesday. So he’s taking care of their 4 and 2 year old daughters. As for me, like FCM, I don’t have enough work to keep me interested for 8 hours. Unlike FCM, I don’t mind browsing the internet since they already got 34 good years out of me…they can get a few bad months from me in return (I still complete all my tasks/deadlines on time and good good ratings from my bosses…go figure). 96 workdays to go… ---

Well, the reason I was out late last night was because I was at a bar with friends. 🙂 I was feeling kind of bad yesterday, but talking to a friend helped. Anywaysies I should get out to my errands soon.
