Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 75 Amurrkin out and well, dark, with a predicted high of 87 and cloudy for the day. We shall see. So far it’s been a cooler than average August for us and seems a lot less hyoooomid. Anywho, I am up earlier than I wanted, but then again, I was sound asleep at eight-thirty last night and only woke up one time to go pee so I reckon I am well rested. We shall deheathenate, as per usual. I have ush duty today. Got a coupon for BK so we shall have N.O.L. there. We shall sup upon fried chikin, butter beans, squish, smashed N.O.T. with gravy, and corn bread. I may even go ahead and cook the beans and squish this mornin’ since I am up and at 'em already.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then I can do things and purtify for deheathenization.
I’m going to a barbecue at my beekeeping club later, said I’d bring potato salad. Did I go down the shops and buy it? No! I got up all early and made it myself, even did my own mayo, which I’ve not tried before. I’ve even tidied up, and it’s still morning!
Now assuming I don’t give everyone food poisoning, I think I should get a sticker on my ‘Acted like a grown up’ chart.
Now I just need to get some fuel in the car so I don’t ruin the adulting by running out on the way.
I woke too early today, 4am, but fell back asleep and slept until 7:30.
It’s cooler this morning than it has been, but I haven’t checked TWPTB to see what the forecast is. We had a good hard rain yesterday, everything needs to be mowed and whacked, but it is still wet out there.
My neighbor still hasn’t gotten her missing window replaced, it’s been how long? Yesterday I saw a squirrel hop in. I don’t know why the landlord doesn’t at least board it up. Between the squirrels, the rain, the snow, etc. I cannot imagine how much damage it is doing. She says she has tarps down to collect the rain and snow, but still being unprotected from the temperature changes is doing damage too.
I have a lot to do today, didn’t get enough done yesterday. I pulled out the fridge to clean behind it, today I want to pull out the stove. I wish I could pull out the dishwasher but that is going to be too hard I think.
I woke way early from a bizarro dream about having to get the brake pan seal replaced.
So far today, I’ve cleaned the critter fountain, loaded the dishwasher, scooped the cat box, showered, dressed, and **FCD **and I went to WaWa to grab breakfast. Except they didn’t have the breakfast sammich I wanted, and the girl behind the counter, who said “They’ll be ready in 3 minutes” apparently lied. I got tired of waiting and came home to make my own sammich, which I just finished. Take that, WaWa!
Dunno what the rest of the day will bring - I should vacuum my car at a minimum. And we need to clear one area of the garage for the pellets that will be delivered this week. Plus I have a chickie thawing, to be rotissed for supper.
Another exciting day at FairyChatEstates. Happy Sunday!
doggio, not everyone is fortunate enough to live where Duke’s is available, pore thangs.
Last day before going back to irk tomorrow. I made the executive decision to forgo the prescription pain meds this morning for tylenol (a week down the road, I think that it’s time). I’m able to cough, laugh and blow my nose lightly without pain, so I know I’m healing.
The only things that I have to do today are head to the drug store for more tiger balm patches, set up the appropriate money transfer app to take care of the incidentals for the car rental and do the prep for breakfasts/lunches next week.
I checked TWPTB, high of 79 today so not too hot. Mowing and whacking need to be done since we are supposed to get rain for the next three days.
School starts next Moonday and he hasn’t gotten as much done over the summer as I had hoped.
He did his sex assignment yesterday, and wanted me to stay near by. Some of the questions were :dubious: I would have been checking ‘none of the above’ for most of them.
One of them was about if you are out with your friend Jenn and her bf keeps texting/calling asking where she is, who she is with, what is she doing, when is she coming back, what would you do?
One, unless she tells me, htf do I know who is calling/texting? Two, she is a grown adult and it’s not MY place to do or say anything. Three, some women like their men that way. I have a friend who gets upset if her bf isn’t calling/texting a million times a day. It would drive me nuts, but he is not my bf. Most of my friends SOs do shit that would make me crazy, but it’s not my place to comment on it.
My response would have been to mind my own damn business unless Jenn asks me for advice or help.
Another one was about consent for sex, that it should always be oral. The consent that is. Right, the woman is responding by sticking her tongue down his throat, unzipping his pants to get to the manly parts, digging her nails into his back and wrapping her legs around his waist? I think that means consent. However, according to this class, you should not rely on the response of the other person to judge if consent it being given. You should ask.
Howdy Y’all! We have deheatenated, had N.O.L. and achieved nappage. I made an executive decision this mornin’ and tonight’s sup will be baked (well, cooked in the slow cooker) chikin in my own homemade celery/onion/‘shroom white sauce. Should be good. I also went ahead and cooked the beans and squishes this mornin’ since I did have all kinds of time to do so. So, gettin’ sup all together shall be an easy task when I decide to do so.
Nuts you get a gold star!doggio and red get ready to clutch your pearls and faint. I prefer Blue Plate to Duke’s.
Hellman’s for me too. Sari. I am sure these tests are meant for young impressionable students not mature adults. But, I think just like you.
Swampy when you said you were frying chicken I thought “Oh boy, the bear has a job on his hands”. I lurves me some fried chicken but not if I have to cook it. Lots of work and clean up for fried chicken.
Gave the dog a bath, had one myself and other than that nada. Enjoying my last day off until next Sunday.
I’m faniliar with Duke’s, having grown up in Floriduh, but Blue Plate not so much. Doesn’t matter anyway as neither is available out here on the frontier. We can get Hellman’s in some places, but, after so many years as a heathen, I pretty much buy whatever is on sale these days.
Here. Let me help you to the couch.
Got a haircut this morning 'cause I needed it.
Going to a BBQ this afternoon at one of the approx. 100 wineries in the county.
This particular winery also grows olives and makes their own very good olive oils.
Their wine ain’t too shabby either. Wifey joined their olive oil buying club, and then their wine buying club. The BBQ is for club members.
I’ll have to watch one of those sharknado movies someday. I assume they’re all interchangeable, right. :dubious:
It’s too bad they don’t sell the Xbs any more, Red. Mine goes like a bat. In fact, I’d be willing to trade some of my acceleration for a little more gas mileage. (currently ~25mpg)
Mayo is mayo. I buy store brand. Miracle Whip is not mayo. I have to wonder if it’s even edible…
Chickie is in the rotisserie rotissin’. FCD’s new computer was delivered today! Who’d’a thunk??? So his former computer (can’t say old, because it’s less than a year old) is now on my desk and he’s setting up the new one on his desk. My old, slow Win7 machine is sitting on the floor, disconnected from everything. I’ll hook it up one more time, make sure I’ve backed up everything, then give it a C:format. Its manufacture date was November 2010 - how old is it in people years???
Oh yeah, supper - Broccoli and cauliflower are in the steamer to be cooked up soon, and I’ll also do instant smashed N.O.T.s - judge ye not!
I vacuumed earlier - go me. And I’ve found a Netflix series that I’m enjoying, after trying several which sucked mightily. It’s called Death in Paradise and the first 2 episodes have been entertaining.
I saw the original Sharknado and part of the second. I could only take so much silly…
Just gotta name her.
