Has it done sprung BioRosie? 
Taters I have not been called for jury duty in years. Of course, now that I have made that public, I fully expect a summons in the mail any day now. :eek:
MOOOOOOM Papa John’s seems more than happy to supply supper anywhere. Just sayin’. He did a good job here in south Jawja tonight. 
I got nuttin’ else to say, 'cept beer is a good thing!

a poem I had to memorize in 9th grade:
Spring is sprung
Da grass is riz
I wonder where dem birdies is
Da little bird is on da wing
Ain’t dat absurd?
Da little wing is on da bird
Please hold your applause.
He went to the bathroom today while I was there. It was like watching a zombie walk. He’s getting better, but it’s so hard seeing him like that. It’s even worse than coming home normally, which is a bit of a neat trick. This may affect me more than I was anticipating, but there isn’t a whole lot I can do but contact my professors. I just don’t want to take that step and admit I can’t complete the coursework as it is.
Good news about your Dad, Carrot!
So glad it’s Friday haha, but let me share a story about a co-worker. Everyone has their quirks, naturally, and this guy sometimes come in looking like he just rolled out of bed - especially his hair all sticking up. I used to tease him about it all the time, but now I just shrug my shoulders and go with the flow. Imagine my surprise when he comes in the break room this afternoon and announces, “gee, why didn’t someone tell me that I looked like Woody Woodpecker?!” I about fell off of my chair, because … be darned if he didn’t! He’s tried to fix that too, except he missed the one side, where it was still sticking straight out. Ah so glad that it’s the weekend … LOL
And yes, spring has -finally- sprung!
Cap’n when it come down to it, family is most important. I just know your professors will understand the circumstances. It’s tough to watch a parent go through something like this. I’m more than willing to bet that some, if not all, of your professors have been through or are going through this themselves. Believe it or not, they are human and understand special circumstances. Heck, it’s not like you have a history of making up excuses after all.
Plus also, if they give you a bad time, we’ll all line up with frozen trouts and wet chitlins to give 'em all a slap.
Good luck to all those recuperating.
My boss who has taken the detour into weirdness wasn’t even there today. Oy. I am supposed to be there on Monday, so perhaps I’ll speak to her then.
Nice day outside. Hope tomorrow it doesn’t rain for opening of rec soccer for #2 son.
Good vibes for warm, sunshinny goodness for #2 son’s soccer opening rigs.
Oh, and like there never has been, in the history of the world, a boss who hasn’t taken a detour into weirdness. 
That’s self included in various boss roles through the years.
Second load of laundry is in the dryer. I’m all showered and relaxing in sweats. Supper was miscellany - **FCD **made himself a taco salad with the leftovers from Weds taco day. I had some soup. I have a sudden hankerin’ for chocolate chip cookies and milk. Wish I had the cookies.
I think I’ll need a sleep aid - maybe a Kahlua and cream?? Yeah, that’s the ticket…
A cravin’ for chocolate chip cookies and milk can only be satisfied by a trip to the nearest store for a bag of Chips Ahoy and a quart of milk.
Fortunately for me, if’n the cravin’ arises, Chips Ahoy and milk are already in da cave.
Kahlua and cream is always good, just not a substitute. I’d think even an old broad like you MOOOOOOM would know that!
Fun fact: If you make one of those Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks, Dark Chocolate flavor, and mix in Bailey’s Irish Cream, the result is delicious AND nutritious and can K.O. even my insomnia-plagued self in a half hour or so.
…
Now I want one. scampers off
Sent emails to them. I hate doing this, but if I don’t I’ll probably fail the classes.
I think that’s the smart thing to do, though, Cap’n. Glad the surgery went well, though.
So sorry about your cousin, Muppet. And about you having to tell your grandmother. 
I’ve been home for about 45 minutes. Long day, but the work part was really good and the rest of it was amusing (the colleagues I was traveling with are lots of fun).
Off to bed now…
Hugs.

**swampy **- Chips Ahoy? Those are barely cookie-qualifiers. No, I was craving fresh-from-the-oven Tollhouse. But I didn’t even do the Kahlua - I just went to bed. I was watching some stoopit show on TV and dozed off enough that I just turned it off and went to sleep - made it till after 6 this morning, so that was good.
Shortly, we’ll load all the boat-work stuff we need into the car, go get brekkies, then down to the marina. I have to mask all around the handrails and the trim on top of the cabin so I can get a couple of good coats of Cetol on them. And I don’t want to waste any - that stuff is over $100 a gallon. It’s good (better be for that price) and properly applied, it will last for several years.
Guess I should don some work duds, pull my hair into a ponytail, and get all sunscreened-up. It’s gonna be a busy day. Anybody wanna help? We’ll take you for a boat ride when we’re done!!
Looks like we’re the only ones who aren’t slugabeds, fcm. I need to teach the pug that Saturdays are for sleeping later. :rolleyes:
Slept with just the one new “special” pillow last night and this morning the neck is decidedly less stiff. Cross your fingers.
Had an argument with my sister, the nurse, last night. Not hateful, just a disagreement. She does not like my primary care doctor because his office also cared for my parents and she feels they didn’t step up to the plate with some of their health issues. I have not found that to be the case with myself, my sister, and friends who use this practice. I’ve found them to be very attentive and responsive and I can get an appointment almost immediately whenever I call. There’s a lot to be said for that. And so far I haven’t had issues with my care.
Good luck with everything, cap’n. Hope it all works out.
Well, time’s a wastin and I need to get to the sto.

Not a slugabed, since I’ve been up most of the night. I am due at the doctor’s (well, they’re going to call me at 0900).
I have rarely been as uncomfortable as I am now. TMI alert. You have been warned.
my girlie bits have taken a nasty revenge on me–I think due to my being on low dose tetracycline for a skin condition. I’ve had yeast infections in the past, but nothing like this. I would like to perform body altering surgery on said bits.
Also, today is NOT opening day for #2 son’s soccer. That would be NEXT Saturday–the one I’m working. :smack: :mad:
Looks like a nice day out there. If I can get diagnosed and the meds on board, I plan on stripping the front porch swing and maybe refinishing it, starting tomorrow.
The birds were manic this morning–good to hear!
Good morning everyone.
I’m trying to wake up. I didn’t sleep well due to very vivid dreams.
I’m taking my son to get a real identification card or maybe his driver’s permit today. Other than that, maybe I’ll work in the yard. It looks to be fairly nice out.
I need to hop in the shower, but my son is in the shower right now. This means I won’t have any hot water. He takes loooooooong showers. I’ll have to wait at least 30 minutes before I attempt to take a shower.
rigs, hope they get you set up with meds soon so you’re not in such discomfort. I’m surprised they didn’t issue you something to counteract that problem when they prescribed the tetracycline.
Good Lord, I can’t quit yawning. My eyes keep watering because I’m yawning so much.
Good morning. I didn’t quite get enough sleep, sadly. I’m already feeling like it’s time for a nap.
Hope the meds help soon, rigs.
Glad the pillow seemed to help, Puggy.
Off to maybe crawl back into bed…

Not an infection, but “if it is, it’s an unusual presentation.” It’s grossly inflamed and I am waiting for my script(s) to be filled.
Gah. Thus endeth my sharing of intimate info…
Beautiful day here–I’m going to strip the porch swing (post meds) and enjoy the day (I hope!).
Morning, all. I’ve been up for a while; there was no way I could sleep through Isaac barking furiously at the evil lawnmower. Stoopit dog.
You did the right thing, Carrot, and I’m sure your profs will appreciate you contacting them before the end of the semester and you’re hopelessly late with everything.
Rigs, years ago a girlfriend described how she wanted to handle a girlie bits problem so perfectly that I’ve never found anything more perfectly descriptive. Serious TMI, you have been warned!
She said she wanted use a round hairbrush to scratch herself with!
Not much else going on here. It’s a lovely warm day, so the house is all opened up to enjoy the fresh air. Isaac is still worn out after yesterday’s adventures at the dog beach followed by the long walk through the park, so he’s quite happy to laze the day away. That’s okay, Papa Tigs will take him out and wear him out again tomorrow morning.
As for me, I’m working on my usual pile of work, plus I’m knitting black hats furiously. Mooom, if you want to help out, I’ve got a great charity knitting project for you! This group I’ve been working with for several years now, Operation Quiet Comfort, that supports front-line medical units with all kinds of stuff, has just received a request for a bunch for black hats – we make 'em extra loose to fit over bandaged heads for those long, chilly Medevac flights to Germany – and the supply is just about gone. So I’m in charge of rounding up knitters and getting them hats, “as many as you can as quickly as you can.” I’ve got a bunch of other volunteers, but if you’d like to help, I’d love to have you! Send me an email if you’re interested.
And with that, I need to go do some work. And finish a hat before casting on the next one. I’ve knit hundreds of them, so I can practically do them in my sleep, but alas, I’ve not found a way to have them knit themselves yet. This is where being Molly Weasley would be very helpful; I could have the knitting needles clicking away furiously while I worked at my computer. Or vice versa. Why was I born a Muggle?
:eek:
