I worked. I got my performance review. I meet expectations.
Bummer about Sis ,Mooommmm.

Not eat? Are you supposed to just absorb nutrients through your skin, Sunny?:dubious:
Cool pic, Spidey.
welcome, marelt! I don’t mind people in the hospital with me.
Yay!
I don’t know. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get a better answer. Right now I’m living on Gatorade.
I can understand not wanting visitors while in the hospital - it can be exhausting. But to me there’s a difference between that and having someone there in case of, well, anything.
After one of my husband’s surgeries, if I hadn’t been there to nag the nurses, he’d have been mostly ignored because, for some reason, they’d put him in a room away from all other patients and away from the nurses’ station. Poor guy was in serious pain and when I went to find someone, they were just shooting the breeze and were miffed that I expected them to do their job. We have avoided that hospital ever since. But my presence was definitely necessary that time.
I want vacation! Ours isn’t till October. dammit.
Managed not to do much of anything today. Did pay a bill (internet/phone) and eat out twice (still early in the month and money in my pocket) and trying to organize the boys/girls for a tournament in early June (glutton for punishment, I am). I also committed to go to Knoxville 15-18 June for the Section tournament, so I’ll have to keep refereeing some until then.
Midget, you may want to throw something at me, but I always post this when floods are reported: Five feet high and rising - Johnny Cash - YouTube
Sunny, hope solid foods are in your near future.
doggio, oh come now, I suspect you exceeded expectations.
swampy, thinking about having my bathroom(s) remodeled next year, if so, I’ll be looking for a somewhat loftier perch myself.
Red, you got more doen than I’m used to doing in a week! Good on ya!
I thought for sure that you’d want the piece de resistance pull chain & bell.
If only we could find a good theme song for ya.
You’re in marketing, aren’t you? 
Hugs, get-well-soons, glad-to-hear-its, and whatever else is needed. Apply as appropriate.
I went to Lowe’s tonight to kill some time and get some ideas for the house. The walls are… sand. A nice, neutral color that goes well with everything and that is so bland that it’s making me nuts. I think cardinal and gold would be an awesome scheme for the bedroom. I read somewhere that your space should inspire you, and nothing inspires me more than cardinal and gold. The rest of the house will be decorated in due course. The sprog wants his room painted black and red because he’s apparently going to open a heavy metal nightclub. Airman, for his part, wants as little to do with this as possible, except that he wants one room - ideally, the dining room - to be black and gold. (The dining room has china cabinets that he thinks will hold his Stillerz memorabilia.)
Everything else is fine.
MetalMouse, I hadn’t heard that song before. Thank you for sharing it.
Just wrong. I would still be mad about it.
Okay. All read up. Terlet shopping?? You must be so excited Swampy!
Hope the water recedes soonest **Midget **. Glad your Mom is better Baker. Hoping you are on the mend all you sickies. Sunny and I can’t remember if there was another. Feel better all.
Not counting things like shooting or racing awards (those are more sports) I did win a few poetry awards back in college. There were a couple where I would have just as well had second place or another lesser prize. In some first got you a small check and a maybe publishing of future work at really cheap amounts of money. Second was often a much better check but only that particular work got printed. Heck – I was a broke-ass college student with no plans of becoming a writer. I would have rather had the cash or check.
Hugs your way kiddo and I join you in worrying for a while.
It was FORTY-TWO-FREEKIN’-DEGREES when I drove in this morning. It’s May 9, fercryinoutloud!!! I awoke to the sound of the furnace running! Sheesh… They’re promising 70s next week. We shall see.
Other than that, just another day in paradise. I’m hoping to finish all the drawing for the throttle quadrant today, plus I have a pile of corrections to make that will soon become a generic drawing, since it’s an electronics cabinet that we do over and over again. Up till now, it gets rolled over and renumbered, which makes no sense at all. I’ve also got another set of drawings for another engineer. I shall be fully occupied for the rest of the week.
Onward into the day! Happy Tuesday!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 54 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 89 and N.O.S. for the day. Perfect weather for terlet shoppin’! That is the big plan for the day. I intend to find one at a fairly reasonable cost includin’ installation. I consider this to be one of those times my best tool is my bank account. I know I want it to be white and a high boy. Reckon it’ll be OK to sit on the floor models to determine if it’s a comfy height?
OK, I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then purtification must commence. I suppose khaki shorts, a pullover shirt, and sneaks are the appropriate attire for terlet shoppin’. Just seems to me this is more of a casual adventure.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
I’m beginning to formulate a plan for What I Want Out of Life. I think I’m going to focus on temping for a while to get some more look-good work experience. Yesterday I was looking at some freelancing sites and getting ideas in that direction as well.
Right now, though, I need to commence caffienation.
At our Lowe’s, most of the terlits are on a shelf above head level, with the boxed commodes on the floor beneath. Good luck finding models you can test drive!!
Yes, I’m avoiding work. This throttle quadrant is a bastard of a drawing. It’s up to 4 pages and I haven’t gotten to the hard stuff yet. Me no happy today. 
Happy Toosday!
The sun is shining but it’s cold outside, 43 degrees with a high of 60 predicted for the day. It went down into the 30s last night BRRRRRRRR!
Cat annoyed the hell out of me when I first woke up but he is sleeping now. The minute my eyes are open he is there begging for treats. I think I could handle it better if he was begging for attention, but it’s all about the treats.
The dog is still sleeping, he didn’t wake up when I tiptoed past him to the powder room. Of course the kid is still sleeping, he stays up all night and sleeps all day.
Finally got the dog to eat something late last night, a hot dog. There is no figuring what he will or won’t eat on any given day.
Doggio I think you deserve an ‘exceeds expectations’ and if they aren’t going to appreciate you then you need to move on to somebody who does.
Nothing special to do today.
The floodwaters may start receding soon, but it’s been said it may be the end of the month, or the beginning of June, before all the water’s back in the river where it belongs. Though many homes and businesses will have a lot of damage, including a grocery store my family really likes that may be closed forever now.
Don’t forget your papers iffn you want to try it out right - both news & toilet. :eek: 
Oh, & pro tip, since they’re not actually hooked up to water, they may not do much when you flush. :o
Blurf I want the full report on this here terlet shopping.
