Now that is very British!
Baker, have you tried shopping for your incense on Ebay?
I wanted to sit on the couch all weekend, but I installed three aquarium heat controllers that arrived Thursday, added snails that arrived this morning to the aquarium, and repaired a leaky faucet. Driving to the hardware store was an adventure, given the amount of traffic. I suppose it is Christmas shopping. I don’t know why everyone is in such a hurry, they still have ten days.
Howdy Y’all! I have a case of ick. Not really sure what it is. Achy, felt a little feverish earlier, general malaise. I have spent most of the day in bed. Ate some pancakes and snausage a little bit ago and that made me feel a little better. OYKW made ‘em. Hopefully I shall start to feel better. If’n I still feel ick in the mornin’ I shall stay in da cave. Almost like a mild case of flu but not real bad if y’all know what I mean.
I am so lazy today, it’s disgusting.
I should have taken the cards to the PO today, I don’t have enough stamps and now I’ll have to wait until Moonday. Unless maybe the lobby is open and you can get stamps from the vending machine. I’ll try tomorrow.
I found another desk just like my grandfather’s just a few blocks from here, same price and doesn’t need to be refinished. If it’s not raining tomorrow I’ll go get it. I don’t know what to say to the other seller, I never asked him to hold it for me, all I told him was yes I wanted it but I needed to find somebody to help me get it. I certainly wouldn’t have blamed him if he sold it to somebody else.
I guess everybody needs Christmas money.
Of course, I do have room for both of them. Desks are so versitile, especially small ones like these. They are the perfect size for a sewing table, or a vanity.
Rode Ariel, stopped at the library, had a massage, went to Tar-Jay. It was 50 and sunny today. I’m hoping this is as winter as it gets. Results of blood work and urinalysis are completely normal. I’m waiting for the gallbladder ultrasound results. What are those lazy radiologists doing? Read my ultrasound, damn it.
Ouch. Kept about forty 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7- year olds corralled from 9:00am-3:00pm, got an hour off, then back to work with twelve -8 and -9 year olds from 4:00-5:00pm. Just a little sore.
Small showers off and on during the day, but dry now and still near 50F. Garlic Bread dinner has been consumed, will make up for it by eating a salad tomorrow (then 3 more hours of soccer, this time with the 10- and 11- year olds).
Wet one, presume you didn’t ride Ariel into the library or Tar-jey…
Sari, do what’s best and easiest for you on the desk; you didn’t lay that money down, so changing your mind is fine.
Cupcakes, hope you can find an incense shop…but I suspect they are rare birds in NE Kansas…
Nut, interesting story. Used to be in the USA that a diver would flash his headlights at oncoming traffic to warn of a speed trap. Guess it’s fallen out of use, haven’t seen someone doing that in years.
I was right, & how appropriate for this edition of the MMP; I now own more green Dino’s (pronounced “Die-no” not “Dee-no” {who was the Flinstone’s pet dinosaur}) 
I know a guy who walked into AAA & said, “Hi, my name is ___ & I’m an alcoholic.”
The girl behind the counter replied, “That’s nice to know sir, but this is triple A. Would you like a map?”
Good thing they didn’t do a brain scan; there’s no Mumper who’s completely normal.
The rain continues. I crocheted a bunch and the yarn is just about all gone. Luckily, my mom will have 3 big bags at Christmas.
It’s been a good, lazy day, and now it’s beddy-bye time… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It’s the middle of the day!
:dubious:
Feel better soonest Swampy.
Tis been a lazy day here too. Was rainy and otherwise dark and dreary all day.
Guess I shall also get to bed earlyish.
Feel better swampy!
I enjoyed the party immensely. Got to see a lot of good friends, ate too much and brought home a paella pan/kit from the Dirty Santa game. The guy who got my gift (pawprint bowls, food mat and picture frame) absolutely loved it, as he has both a cat and a Yorkie (we tend to be animal lovers as a group and this was sized well for a small dog or cat). I’s tahred.
That AA is also AA over this side of the pond- we vaguely distinguish by calling the car one ‘the AA’ and the alcoholics just ‘AA’ most of the time, but I’m sure both get phone calls for each other…
It’s not currently raining here, for which I am glad, 'cos once I’ve finished getting up I have to walk through town to the coach stop. It’s still dark and thoroughly uninviting.
Of course, I wake at 5:00 on Sunday morning. No rain sounds on the roof, but other than that, no idea of what the day holds.
Happy Sunday!!
Happy Sunday!
I slept until almost 9 today, I feel much better.
Not raining right now but it is still very dreary, wet, and icky outside. Not so cold though, so that is a good thing.
Picking up the desk near me later today. Going to try to get the other one.
Just what I need to do, spend money* AND* have more stuff.
I have to call the bank to get my pin number so I can get cash. It’s been years since I have gone to an ATM and if it weren’t for the occasional tolls and going through the car wash, I would never carry cash.
I hope you feel better today, Swampy
Slept like Sari, almost to 9am. Soccer from 2-5pm but except for that, nothing much on the schedule. May clean out my file holder and put papers in their correct files, but that may be just too much excitement… At least the rain from the last 3 days seems to have exited the area. 50F now.
Get to feelin’ better soon, swampy
sari, I pull cash out when I’m going to a bar or an ethnic restaurant where I’m not sure if they take cards. The car washes around here take sliders and the only toll bridge that I use these days is going across the Ohio river on I65 when I go to Indiana. There aren’t toll boothes there, they send you a bill, complete with a picture of your vehicle crossing later. I usually only get one when I cross on weekdays.
Like metal mouse and sari, I slept until nine this morning. Right now, I’m chilling with aigs, 7grain cereal and coffee. No big plans for the day except the usual Sunday chores.
I caught my first cold in a couple of years Tuesday and so my body is painfully relearning how to fight them off. I’m switching shirts all day long as I alternate between fever and chills. Damn near choked yesterday when I couldn’t stop spasming my chest long enough to breath in. Better today.
Back from breakfasting and erranding. I also laid out the pieces for an afghan - now I need to sew them together. I hate that part, but I’ll get it done.
Other than that, no real plans for the day.
Well, unless any of the people are willing to take a check I won’t be getting a desk today.
I can remember the numbers in my PIN, I just can’t remember the order, and I have to go into a branch to change it.
What a PITA this is.
What pisses me off though, is that when I ask online how to change the pin it tells me to call an 800 number, which is no help at all because the CS rep tells me I have to go to a branch. So why not tell me I have to go to a branch in the first place?
I have plenty of other things to do, so time to get busy.
I slept horrible last night. The coons were in the trash cans and it sounded as it the house were falling down around me. Hubs must come up with another system re trash.
I have not done squat yet today. I was hoping to get a nap but that looks like it may not happen. I have chores to do so mayhaps I will get busy shortly. I have laundry and we are going to cook a meal today. And tomorrow is freaking Moanday already. Blurf.
No post from Swampy today. Hope he is OK. Not even his usual morning book of faces post. Time to check in Swampy
I noticed that Swampy is missing too. I hope he is okay.
Found my PIN, got the cash, now it is raining.
Why is nothing ever easy?
I went to get my lunch and found out my son had eaten half of it. Not that it matters, I cook for both of us, but he usually tells me. If I had known I would have planned something else. So I had a snack instead of lunch.
