Slowly backs off of Draelin’s lawn…just in case. Actually, I’ll be near her old lawn (in central Joisey) this weekend.
In other news, Superman checked out my bum wheel yestidy; doesn’t look broke. Today I feel kinda European, wearing socks & (Keen) sandals at irk. Doc wants be to wear brace f/t & it doesn’t fit w/ any irk shoes. Right now I’m wearing one sandal & one casual shoe so it doesn’t look like I’m spitting on the dress code & I look a bit professional, though given my boss is recently out of a boot I’ve got sympathy from where I need it.
Howdy Y’all! Today I have accomplished mowage to include edgin’ around the cee-mint pond, driveway, and walk even. Plus, I cleanded out the skimmer. No frawgs or other critters this time, just pine straw. I let the pool cleaner run whilst mowage was bein’ accomplished. After I finished da yahd, I jumped in the cee-mint pond in my undies (blue and white striped boxers for the preverts amongst us who always wanna know) for a refreshin’ dip. Now I’m all showered and cleanded up. I et some tuna sallit and crackers for N.O.L. Chill time ensues for the rest of the day. Maybe even nappage. Retirement is good!
I had my little nap, I guess this is my new routine. Wake up too early, log in to irk, finish my shift and then take a nap.
Now I have to head upstairs to get sheveled. I hope there is no storm while I’m in the shower. Then I get to clean the litter box and see how Percy is doing. He started getting a little pissy with me. When I walked over to him he ran to another corner, while he didn’t hiss at me the look in his eye told me to keep my distance. Then the next day he let me pet him again.
Reminds me of an old high school friend who would have said this cat is flicted.
I told him this week is his last chance. Not that he understands me. I feel so sorry for him.
I thought you weren’t officially retired until Monday.
spidey I hope your wheel is better soon.
drae I hope that you’re rid of your pain in the toucus soon as well.
sunny, as recently as the early seventies, my southwest Missouri cousins got six weeks off in the spring to help with planting, went back to school during the summer and got another six weeks off in the fall when the crops were harvested.
spidey, the kids in my current county go back to school when Peaches’s kids do. Granted, they’re the first in the state (other than year round districts) that go back and this year, the state’s sales tax holiday that always comes before school starts had to be moved back a week.
metal mouse, I take it that you optioned for clothing when you went to get the mail.
I didn’t get to the electric company yesterday before they closed because GPS literally took me in circles. Now that I know where it is, I can make it tonight.
Today the kids haz doctors appointments. Then I shall drive by the house to make sure the work progresses and grab a few more things from the pantry. It’s window cleaners today. The pool guy - sometime. Floors finish tomorrow (all appendages suitable and otherwise crossed on that one)!
Must go rouse the girl child. She has indigo hair now. Very cute!
Nappage has been achieved and majik intartoobz pizza has been ordered. I like the fact that a pick up time can be specified. OYKW will go fetch it when he gets off irk. We shall dine early cause, well, why not.
red while the past two weeks were to have been practice for retirement, I decided that I’ve gotten so good at it that I no longer need the practice so this week has been official retirement time.
Some MFA in the neighborhood has a car alarm going off and it has been since before 3:30. It’s now 4:48. It stops for a few minutes and then starts all over again.
I am NOT amused.
At one point the beeps started soundly sickly, so I had hoped the battery was dead and the damn thing would shut up, but no, it came back loud and clear on the next go round.
Where’s a wrecking ball when you need one? Drop it on that sucker and put it out of it’s misery.
Pizza and sallit have been ingested. ‘Twas nummy. Tomorrow we are goin’ to use my bday coupon from the kinda good local fish place for dindin cause, well, tomorrow is my bday and why not. They have a good all you can eat catfish filet deal and both of us do love us some catfish. Plus mine will be half off the regular price. Yummy and cheap. That’s us! Oh and yes we have been known to go to GC at four p.m. So There!
I’m adulting right now. We’ve got almost $1500 in bills due within a few days of each other. Since Airman and I alternate paydays, I used my mad math skillz to divide each bill amount by 4, then added it all up to figure out how much we have to set aside every week to cover all these bills. The idea is to spread the pain around so we’re not cash-poor at the end of the month. Plus, y’know, the mortgage company expects their [del]pound of flesh[/del] payment every month, so that’s thrown in there, as well.
Why can’t I go back to being young and irresponsible?! When I didn’t care about things like insurance and retirement! GAH!
We just had a buyer look at the house, which is not listed yet, and the agent wanted to know what we would accept as a pre-emptive offer. :eek: We shall see if the offer comes. The world is crazy I say if we get an offer before the house is even listed.
Dinner was stuffed peppers and some bonus ball-o-meat since we had more of that than peppers.
Doing a double tomorrow by request from me. Another of the Old Originals at work is leaving to do basically the same work for much more money at the USPS. Tomorrow is the last day when he is actually going to show up and I want the chance to do one more shift with him he went to Day and I’m still Twi. I know The Jungle is not a place where people stay for long but being one of the maybe 10 folks left in the building from that first week carries a certain kind of survivors guilt. That or I’m just too damn old to go on interviews anymore.
Is swampy gone? Can we start setting up now? I have some beer chilling and the cake is ready to be frosted. It’s a lot of candles, who has the fire extinguisher?
I didn’t get to the electric company again this afternoon. When I got out to my car, I had a flat tire (much rather have a fat tire). One of the maintenance guys put the donut on for me and I carefully drov it to the tire shop, where they pulled a staple out and patched it (free ).
After dealing with a lazy cow-orker who did her damndest to get on my last nerve today (that rant alone could take two pages to write, she’s the one who I wish would just retire already) and month end crap, I’m beat. The beer is cold and there’s ine more in the fridge when this one is done.
I rode my little red headed school horse after irk. Imwas supposed to ride at 4pm but a storm rolled in and we weren’t allowed to leave irk. And lots of flooding of local streets. I iz home eating popcorm an watching teepee.
So the HIGH TECH FANCY WAREHOUSE[SUP][SUP]TM[/SUP][/SUP] outdid itself today. Apart from the truck being delayed 2 hours, they didn’t put a pallet jack on the truck.:smack: So I had to unload by hand. With the Heat Index at 100. Did I mention they didn’t have straps to stabilize the load, so it looked like crack crazed baboons loaded it? after work, I had the Booster Club Board Meeting, at the restaurant where there is only a 50% chance of food. The odds were not in my favor. 6 reboots later, my online pizza order is on the way. It’s been 18 hours of TVCTPMO. Is it Tuesday yet?
Rockin’, I can adult very well. But i would like to win the lottery ,so I could pay people to adult for me.
