Mornin’. It’s pouring down rain and I hardly slept last night - I’s in zombie mode. I’m waiting for my coworker to finish the document that I’m supposed to be editing - it’s supposed to be submitted today. :rolleyes: I hope so - I don’t want to come back here tomorrow.
**Apes **- I hope you read this with a happy, healthy new baby at your side! Don’t forget pics!!!
That’s all I can manage. I’m beyond blurf. I think there’s chocolate in the break room.
Happy Tuesday anyway. 
Afternoon, mumpers! It’s another glorious day across the pond, the weather is so good that I went out this morning without a coat on. Unheard of, especially since May isn’t over yet.
I have found out that gardening at my time of life is not a good thing, I only did about two and a half hours of weeding and suchlike yesterday but this morning I ached in places I wasn’t aware I’d even used.
Still, the borders are tidy and the tubs are ready for planting once I get my delivery of seed potatoes tonight so I can say I’ve achieved something. Yesterday was very productive and busy day for a bonus day off work, and today I am back at irk being irked by my co-irkers.
I can’t believe how hard it is to find someone to invigilate a 2hr exam on a Monday afternoon…none of the module tutors have volunteered and the only one who’s shown any interest can only manage the first 45mins. Oh well, time to get the pointy stick out.
Fat Club tonight and we have a taster night. I made some spiced fruit oat bars yesterday which have used up a severely overripe nanner - they don’t look anything special so far but I will see if I can jazz them up a bit with some icing sugar and stuff later. They smell nice, but it’s a Fat Club recipe and I know from bitter experience that they can be very deceiving!
Blend it into a fruit smoothie?
Spend most of last night sitting on the couch knitting and watching 2 episodes of Antiques Roadshow while TheElf puttered in the yard.
Found out this morning that one of the remaining 2 engineers has put in her resignation. This office is going to get really empty here pretty soon. The guy from Parent Company will be here at some point today with an update. Yesterday I took home all of my craft supplies.
Blurf.
Yay for Apelette’s ongoing arrival!
Day one of stoopid course.
Apparently it’s 4 days, not 3 as they told everyone. Bah.
Spent most of day in a guided bitch session about the jobcentre’s ineptness. At least I could look out of the window at the glorious sunshine, and it’s still both early and sunny, so I think I shall away to the allotment shortly, where I shall briefly pretend to do a bit of work, then decide it’s too hot, whereupon I shall sit out and bask 
Don’t get too excited y’all it may just be another false alarm. I haven’t even called my momma yet! I am on the monitor right now and am contracting every 3 min. They are getting ready to hook me up to fluids.
Yes, wince they do!
I put a sign with a Holstein and the words Keep Out on my office door when I was pumping. My boss barged in one day despite the sign, and backed out, red-faced, very quickly.
As he later stumbled all over himself in apology, I laughed and assured him it was no biggie. “It’s a natural process,” I said. He replied, “So’s vomiting. I don’t want to see that either.” 
I’m better, thanks, but with friends like you…
Happy birthin’ Apes if it is indeed time. We await anxiously the news.
Nettie what Thenymph said re the banana.
nuts I saw a buncha people takin’ some kind of test here at the career center yestiddy. They looked so excitated! 
Have I mentioned my orifice is located in a career center, aka the employment office, aka the job centre? Notice how I spelled center all funnylike just for you.
Ok, back to irk. Sigh.
I know, sometimes when I sneak in and they don’t know I’m watching they’re dancing around, playing air guitar, just actin’ all crazy like.
They are sending me home because my contractions aren’t painful enough and I am not dialating. I am upset.
Awww sorry {{{Apes}}}!
Aw - and today’s my youngest sister’s b-day - it would be a momentous day to squeeze yours out! 
Sorry things weren’t painful enough.
Happy Toosday!
It’s 25 degrees above freezing and raining like hell.
Since today is Toosday that means it is also laundry day and YAY! Pizza Day!
Pizza day is really for the kid but today I want some pizza too.
So the **Apelette **is finally coming!
Flytrap I hope your back feels better.
Once everyone around here gets done with their showers I can throw the first load in.
I want to getting moving on this stuff today.
I didn’t know there is a way to measure pain levels.
I didn’t know one had to be at a certain level of pain to give birth.
Don’t you just love it when somebody else says you aren’t experiencing enough pain?
Don’t you want to wallop them so they can feel your pain?
French fries and an eggroll and a diet coke is too a nutricious and delicious lunch!
Do NOT consult with Dr. Spidey.
My first post in an MMP!
Sorry April. I hope the monkey comes soon.
What a crappy, rainy Tuesday. Need coffee. Must also brush up on MMP jargon. Blurf!?!
Like those sissified English fellas, who invented a language they cannot speak or spell.
I hate mornings. I have a lamp on a timer to help me get up. Apparently the lightbulb is blown out. No, of course I have no extra bulbs.
AND when I got home at 9:00 last night, the first light I turned on was my kitchen light. Or at least tried to turn on. That’s burnt out too.
On the other hand, I went to a writing thing last night and finished the poem/song I wanted to finish (now I have to send it to someone with musical talent to see if they can turn it into a real song). And I got a little bit more done on one of my novels.
