I has a blurf. A very big blurf. Possibly large enough to be two blurfs rolled into one.
Crazy week, not dead, will read when I get the chance, appropriate responses to everything distributed as needed. Inappropriate responses, use sparingly. 
Um…why?
Is there a logical reason for splitting up the cherubs? Do TPTB fear for TPTB sanity? Otherwise, I would tell them “We are only doing this once, deal with it.”
As I have gotten older, my ability to deal with bull has reduced every year.
Hump daaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyeah!
I need to venture out and do shopping today. I hate shopping, which is why I’ve put it off until now I really need to do it and stop procrastinating.
Eh, on second thought, I’ll go pro tomorrow.
Dishwasher is emptied and refilled and a load of laundry is on the line. We’ll be leaving in a little bit for our appointment. It’s loverly having fresh air flowing thru the house - the critters do make it stink!!!
Wednesdays are good because the cafeteria has grits and I loves me some cheese grits w/ butter, salt n pepper.
A couple of weeks ago my first college roommate reached me through LinkedIn and, in town to sell his parents house, he’s going to stop by for a visit this afternoon. I haven’t seen or talked to him since probably 1980, so this oughta be interesting.
Happy humpers, mumpers.
Happy Hump Day!
I got sleep last night.
It is a beautiful sunny breezy 60 degrees outside.
Of course the AC is on but I opened my window anyway because I loves fresh air.
Like FCM says, the beasties can make it a bit smelly. although in my case it’s me and the beast being closed up in one room.
So I have to put my clothes away, I am irking, no more putting it off I have to get a title company chosen.
HFH and my mother went out together so is almost like having house to myself for a while.
Okay, I now have ten minutes for an update, though I still haven’t had time to read three pages.
Monday I went to the orthopedist to get my knees looked at. Consensus seems to be that my kneecaps are inflaming my muscles, so I got an anti-inflammatory and some physical therapy to do. However, I didn’t call to make the PT appointment because I then did something terrible to my back that still persists. It feels like when I cracked my coccyx, only it’s gotta be muscular, because I didn’t fall down or anything–I just bent over to get something out of the cabinet under the bathroom sink.
So, heating pad on the lower back, and I’m slowly improving. The problem with being at work is that sitting seems to be the worst possible position for my back. At least my knees don’t hurt.
A lot of co-workers here have opted for a raised, standing desk for that reason. Is it an option where you work?
It is an option, but not until we get whatever equipment I might need, which would probably arrive one to two weeks after my back feels better. 
Although I could probably just get somebody to put a big box on my desk and put my keyboard on top of it.

And if that doesn’t work, wil they remove your kneecaps? 
I’ve discovered a downside to scheduling that “minor” surgery next week. The physical therapy schedule has been severely compressed to fit in as much as possible before then. Yowch…
It’s such a pretty day today. So far only 69 degrees, low humidity and breezy.
So much to do today. Ten more minutes of irk and I have to get up and get stuff done.
{{{Hugs}}} to everybody with their aches and pains and upcoming surgeries and adjustments.
All I have is feeling disorganized and that makes me feel icky.
I think I am getting a bit OCD.
Sunday when I got cash from the ATM I get really irritated because the bills were turned every which way. When I was a teller all bills had to face the same way, small bills on top. It’s a small thing but I have to fix it right away.
I’m irritated too because so much is up in the air, don’t like it.
Today is the day I have to get it all together before I go nuts.
I hope I never get to the place where I have to alphabetize my can goods and and check the stove 20 times before I leave the house. I know people like that and they make me crazy.
Howdy Y’all! I’ve been to the east forty, had N.O.L., a turkey and cheese sammich with lettuce and 'mater and listened to whiny voicemails. Such is the excitatement of hump day here in swampland.
Mediacom still insists I need those dang digital boxes. Three out of four of 'em don’t work. I foresee the next step which is to box 'em up, take ‘em back and say give me three that do work. I may take four boxes with me. One box would be pointy stick wieldin’ Sri Lankan spiders. I sure could use that pool shark right now. 
Grr hiss. Out of everything I needed at de sto’ I found half of it. I went to Target hoping to find a small desk fan that plugs into a USB port. We have two of them at irk, but I couldn’t find one of them at Tarzhay. The only thing–the only thing–I needed that I found there was a pack of safety pins. As for the clothes I needed, ha. Hahahahaha. No.
This is why I put off shopping so much, people. We hates it, yes we do. However, I have a tape measure and an internet connection so I can order clothes online. Because apparently the yoga pants I like only come in booty shorts or capris now. I already have a decent pair of the booty shorts style. I refuse to wear capris. I need pants. These are my lounging around the house pants and my current pair is too big.
GRR HISS.
Finally picked my title company.
Connected them with the mortgage company and realtor.
Started my notification process to my clients. It’s hard to say good bye.
I think if I hear the expression ‘reach out’ one more time I will scream.
Reach out sounds so desperate as opposed to contact.
Impact was another one that drove me nuts, as in how will this change impact the system? Impact should be reserved for car crashes and teeth. Impact is a strong word which implies force and pain, as how how is it going to feel when my fist impacts your nose the next time you use impact when affect will do the job?
Swampy How about I say I feel your pain (another overworked expression) and I take the digital boxes back for you, then I can redistribute the pain to the appropriate people and restore balance and harmony to the world?
YES! I found the bras I needed online and ordered them. I also found the yoga pants online and saved the link until they go on sale. I also found out that the bookends I need are at Office Depot, which I didn’t even think of. I have to go to an insurance meeting at irk on Friday, so I’ll pick up the bookends then.

Now I shall make pasta sauce. From scratch, even. I have a lot of maters that need saucin’.
There is a big bash in New Paltz mid September to honor a favorite professor’s retirement. Alumni from classes going back to the mid 70s will be there. I found an affordable hotel, and I have the vacation time available, but the drive is wearying, and lugging my stuff from the car (it’s not the kind of hotel to have porters waiting at the door) is daunting
I will feel sick with sadness if I don’t go, but in pain if I do
Invite Swampy along to carry stuff.
Home again! We got a lot of stuff settled with the financial guy. Most things are now in the hands of bureaucracy. But we discussed our spreadsheet and he said we were pretty conservative in our estimates, so I feel better.
It’s still lovely and cool - 72° and breezy. It can stay like this for the next coupla months as far as I’m concerned!!!
Wow, it was 100 here yesterday and a little less today only because of some clouds. I’m not sure I could find 72 even in my fridge. Lucky gal.
