Mowed the back yard and watered the front (which got mowed on Monday) Tuesday evening, so of course it rained during the night (California should hire me to water lawns there, it is the one sure thing that can bring rain).
Laundry night tonight, in preparation for the Chattanooga long weekend at LiberyCon (a Science Fiction convention).
And now to Irk. Or not. 
I was just looking at another band-related Instagram feed, but found only clothed butts. 
Among many other things, I might add.
Okay, onto more serious things now.
Wow, I sure broke the MMP good that time.
I’m working on some music now.
I woke up this morning, and all my shrimps was dead.
Well, I got home from work yesterday and my jar of brine shrimp was dead. The fish had to settle for flake. Sort of like getting a peanut butter & jelly sandwich when you were expecting ribs.
Never type the word “serious” in the MMP. You may discuss serious topics, but the word serious is verbotten.
Okay. On to more important things, then. As in, back to my music projects instead of mucking about on Instagram again. 
I hope everyone is having a good day.
Seriously?
:dubious:
I have totally wasted the morning. OK, I did get the bed stripped and the sheets washed. And I ran the dishwasher. And I just finished lunch. I should probably make that cuke salad…
House is still open and it’s still loverly out!!
And we have achieved cuke salad!! It’s a big one, too! I’d bought 2 cukes, then **FCD **brought home 3 that someone at work left in the break room for the taking. So 5 cukes and a vidalia onion will soak in the dressing overnight. Yum!
Guess I should move on the tidying the bathrooms. rah.
Oh yay, things with wheels continue to conspire against us. The air conditioning in our truck died. I hope it’s just a loose wire, but the question is where?
Happy Hump Day!
Not really happy, no humping allowed.
It’s cool outside today and supposed to stay cool for a week or so.
I should go sit on the deck or something.
I get my stitches out Firday (I hope) and then I can drive and go home. I say I hope because I can’t find a ride and if I can’t get there Firday I will have to wait until Moonday. I am hoping OAOASO will come through for me, he owes me a million and a half favors but even then I wouldn’t ask him or anybody to take a day off irk for me. If I was sure the valet parking would be open I’d just drive myself, but you ever know about them.
It hasn’t been too horrible here with my mother but only because I’ve been snapping at her and cutting her off before she can get started.
It’s all stupid shit anyway, well most of it.
For real, she tried to start an argument with me because I wouldn’t follow her advice over the doctors orders.
My friend still wants me to stay with her but… She has no AC and complains about the heat - which may not be a problem now - but if she is uncomfortable in the heat how does she think I am going to feel? Her grandson (18) moved in with her and she complains about the lack of privacy. Her bathroom has two doors and neither has a good lock on it. The two of them are always barging in on each other, and on the weekends he always has 4-5 friends over, so even less privacy. I know she means well, I think she is simply not thinking it through. Or maybe she figures if I come over for a few days she can send him to live with his mother for those few days. I doubt that though, she loves her grandson dearly, he is a joy to have around, she just misses living alone and being able to walk around nekkid.
I need to get busy, back it irk and all. Too much time on my mind and I’m starting to think of evil thoughts around here.
When my mother came to see my in the hospital, Niece1 brought her. I am a bit miffed at Niece1 because I heard from Niece2 that Niece1 and my sister were talking some shit behind my back. Niece2 was a bit miffed at what they were saying and I don’t think she meant to rat them out but it was more of a question of what did they mean by what they were saying. Which is what I’d like to know as well.
Anyway, I hadn’t seen Niece1 for a while and my mother had told me that she has gained so much weight that you can barely recognize her anymore. Not true, I recognized her just fine.
However, it has been so tempting to send her a text
*Hey Niece1, thanks for bringing mom and coming up to see me It was so good to see you and despite what mom says about all the weight you’ve gained, I had absolutely no trouble at all recognizing you. *
It’s mean, it’s nasty, it’s beneath me
but it’s fun to think about.

**sari **- if it wasn’t for my inlaws and daughter arriving Thursday night, I would have gladly come to drive you on Firday. You really should take MY life into consideration when planning your life… 
Hope your recovery goes well and you can return home soonest.
Your son doesn’t drive? Or is he not there with you? Sorry - just being nosy.
Egg salad is constructed and in the fridge. I think it’s time to bring in the sheets and make the bed. That’s always fun - Taz likes to “help” by planting his butt in the middle of the bed or between the sheets. Idiot cat.
Off to do more chores…
Dang, flytrap, I thought we might be in for a nice shrimp boil.
Yesterday, I was bored to death. Today, I’m slammed. I’m looking forward to a nice “normal” day.
**FCD **came home early - not a lot going on at the office. So he’s going to futz with his bike some more. Bed is made with the help of my sweetie. Taz didn’t even come into the bedroom. Good kitteh!
Still gotta clean the bathrooms. ick.
God I have absolutely no motivation to do anything today. I just want to sit and have entertainment brought to me. It’s just one of those days.
Allie does that too. I think cats consider this mandatory. 
Day off, just got up. Not that staying down after DH went to work did much good, I didn’t really solidly sleep at any point (I’m sure of that because I was looking at the clock roughly every hour). There’s plenty of housework to do, but I’m not sure how much the foot and the lack of energy will allow. 
yeah - it’s in the cat handbook.
Thank you for the offer FCM - but that would be one loooooong drive for you.
I hesitate to even ask my friend in Edgewood.
If need be I’ll call a cab.
My son is here with me and he simply does not want to drive. I can’t make him. His learner’s permit expired and he got an ID instead of another permit.
He is not happy being here either and I told him if he would drive we could go home.
I am hoping when he starts college in August, getting out and meeting some new people will get him wanting to get out and do things. Of course, now where we live, there is lots within walking distance.
The funny thing with my son is, if somebody walks up to him and starts talking to him he handles it pretty well. Sooner or later he has to get out of his shyness and fear of going places,and the only way to get out of it is to get out there and do things. Maybe I’ll be in less pain now and can get out more.
**sari **- I’m retired - what else do I have to do all day?? 
Evenin’ all.
Guests here are fine to drop in, so long as they don’t mind sitting outside, currently there is no living room worthy of the name. There isn’t space for anyone to stay over.
This doesn’t really matter to me at the moment, as my irk hours are pretty much meaning I’m never in at appropriate visiting hours, the landlord has random people over all the time though, either mates or people looking to buy or fix amplifiers. It can look quite funny when I walk in in pyjamas on a full heavy metal band all standing in the kitchen drinking tea; luckily I’m not too bothered.
In other news, bees is looking fairly imminent, I just need to decide if the colony my allotment neighbour offered me is actually viable, or if I should go buy one, which is being complicated by never actually seeing said neighbour due to my bizarre sleeping habits.
Assorted {{hugs}}, yays! and neener neeners. Help yerself
