I know what you mean snowbunny. This morning I heard some songbirds, and one of the two birds that are very distinct (to me, anyway) which verify that spring is really here. Even with 3+ feet of snow and ice on the ground.
It’s pool in the early (for me!) am, so I am hoping to grab a few winks before the sun rises. My insomnia has deep roots, I have had it since I was a very young child. Life was scary back then, and it was prudent to be wakeful in the dark. I haven’t been able to shake it off since, particularly since developing into a chronic pain person. C’est la vie, it’s a minor thing, in the big picture. I do appreciate the well wishes and suggestions.
Aww, Saturday morning, should be sleeping in time! I’m up and caffeinating early, though, and in fact have already breakfasted on pancakes. With molasses. Don’t shoot me, please. I just get a craving and a gnawing (LOL you know who that comes from!) for molasses on my pancakes sometimes.
It’s rainy out, but is supposed to clear up. I’ll probably spend the day indoors, though, working on my crochet projects and/or reading/watching tv. Or surfing the interwebs.
Hugs to all, and trout slaps to those who deserve them. LOL
Late to the party. We got up kinda early, went to a bad buffet breakfast, stopped at Boater’s World (which is going out of business to save Ritz Camera ) for some deck paint on sale, then to get me some new sneaks and to Michael’s for some paintbrushes that **FCD **can use to finish some decorative work on the boat.
I’ve got laundry going, he just left to buy boat batteries, and the kids are going to Baltimore soon. Once I read all my comics and Dear Abby, I’m going to assume the knit position, interrupted only by laundry. Hope there’s good stuff on TV - otherwise, I’ll have to find a DVD.
swampy, I’d already showered before posting, so you hush your smart mouth…
Come back, MamaTigs!! We miss you! Happy spring, snowbunny! Feel better, kai!! Hugs, pinches, and gropes for the rest of you - take what you want and pass the rest on.
I took my computer to a local repair shop today and it’s fixed! All the guy had to do was pop out the battery and hold the Power button for 15 seconds or so to clear all residual current from the system and reset the CMOS and other boot-code elements. Took literally a minute from when I walked in to when I walked out, and the best part is that because the “repair” was so easy, it didn’t cost me anything!
Aw shit. Rusty the Idiot hasn’t been acting quite right (as if he was ever all quite right) and they took him to the vet this morning. He’s not going to make it. He’s got a huge tumor in his abdomen. Monday will probably be The Day. He’s still acting happy, at least.
This isn’t fair.
Of all the news to get before going to work this morning. I’m a mess.
Well, on a more cheerful note, I’m going to a coworker’s baby shower tomorrow. It should be a fun and happy occasion. I like babies. Other people’s babies, anyway. g
Bedtime. It’s supposed to snow tonight. I still like snow but really I’ve about had enough of it for now. I could use a break. Apparently the Snow Gods aren’t listening, though.
Aw, how sad about Rusty - he is a sweetie. Hugs to the **Tigs **clan!
**snowbunny **- hope you have fun at the shower. I avoid the ones at my work, but then there are so doggone many of them all the time… We have many, many employees who come here right out of college, so there are lots of marriages and lots of babies - one year, we had *FOUR *sets of twins born. At this stage, the only babies that interest me are any future grandchildren.
I had a terrible night, and I don’t know why. I’ve let Bernie out, but Scruffy hasn’t gotten out of bed yet - very odd for her. It’s foggy, but we’re supposed to see some sun later today. Hope so, since we need to slap some paint on the patches under the support on the boat. We’ve also got to get the batteries loaded and installed - tomorrow’s launch day.
In a little bit, I’m (finally) going to do our taxes. I dug most of the paperwork out of the drawer, and the rest is in electronic form. I just need to remember my account name and number - I know I wrote it down somewhere. First, tho, more caffeine.
It stormed all day yesterday. I don’t like bein’ on the puter much durin’ big storms, thus it was not in use. Today is all bright and sunny but a little on the coolish side for here this time of year. Oh and we have flood warnings out due to all the rain that has been and what will be around Tuesday. Joy. If the bridge floods on the main road I travel to town, it turns my work commute into 30 miles one way instead of 10.
{{{BioTigs, Snowbunny,PapaTigs}}} I’m so sorry about Rusty.
Truly, startin’ the MMP is easy folks. Somebody step up. You can let your pet ferret walk across the keyboard and that would be enough. It ain’t like we pay real close attention to the OP beyond the first day, if even that long.
Oh and I am a heathen today. I am not goin’ to church. :eek: That’s right. I woke up about six thirty to pee and decided to go back to bed and did not get up until nine. I do have to work from 2-10, so I must get perpared for that. It’s my next to last Sunday gig before the new schedule starts.
Ok, off to do stuff like purtify, make my dindin for work, etc.
