Morning, mumpers! I am also up, caffeinated, sheveled and at irk. You’ll be pleased that I am sheveled, 'cos going to irk would have been interesting otherwise. Today is our workplace wellbeing event thing, mahoosive waste of time as far as I’m concerned, but I have baked a carrot and sultana cake 'cos they’s having a bake-off and selling stuff for charidee. I am all in favour of that, so I baked. Other times, I wouldn’t have bothered.
Shadow cat continues to improve slowly, there’s less blood in his urine today and he’s stopped weeing in the bath but has started weeing in the shower instead. He’s back to his old self though, perky and interested in things, and keen to mug me for whatever food I’ve got that isn’t yet on his plate.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 73 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 93 (heat index around a hunnert) and mostly N.O.S. for the day with a stray afternoon tstorm possible which is pretty much the norm round these parts. Today I shall accomplish mowage plus I need to go to the Pubic Sto’ for comestibles. It’s geezer discount day so I get ten percent off my total. I shall put a poke tenderloin in the slow cooker shortly for dindin. Sweet N.O.T., asparagus, and rolls shall accompany. There may be quality cee-mint pond time this afternoon as well.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. When it’s daylight enough and the neighbors are gone to irk, I shall begin mowage. Rah.
I’ve managed to eat some breakfast without chomping the inside of my lower lip, tho now that I’ve declared it openly, I expect to hit an artery or something before I’m done.
And in the spirit of the movie quotes: Did you know your last name is an adverb??
Or something to that effect. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it.
Nothing exciting on the agenda today - just a bunch of stuff for Josh that I’ve been putting off since it’s not urgent. I have nothing else, ergo, non urgent gets done today.
Glad that that Shadow is feeling better, **Boofae **!
Yesterday my former mentor came up from the evil city that shall not be named where I used to teach. We had a nice lunch. Today I have a doctor’s appointment and I’m going to stop in at work for a few to see if we have a game plan for the start of school.
It’s a N.O.S. 70 degrees outside. Supposed to get up to 90 something.
It was supposed to rain yesterday but didn’t and now it’s not supposed to rain for a few more days so Sah-son can take the weed killer to the weeds growing out by the parking pad.
I slept pretty well last night and got up on time this morning. I got my morning routine done, ate breakfast, and logged into irk early.
Today may be productive, which is a good thing.
My friend X’s birthday party is coming up fast and I need to find some craft stuff I promised her. I need to go through my books again to take some to my other friend B, since I am picking her up on my way. I also need to go through my costume jewelry so both of them can pick through the stuff I don’t want before I donate it to charity.
I love getting rid of stuff, but I’d rather it went to a good home than into the trash.
I wonder what happened next door last night. I thought I heard some yelling and banging and this morning the window A/C is sitting in the yard. Sah-son said maybe it fell out, but since it is at least 15 feet away from the window I doubt that it fell.
I’m glad you kitty is doing better BooFae
OT sux Nettie but money is good.
I was just informed that we are out of RoundUp. I think I have some homemade weedkiller around here. If not, then I can make up another batch. He got our part of the pad done but we always do the neighbor’s side as well. I also wanted to go up to the next house, her weeds are really high, and to the part behind the neighbor’s on the other side, since it’s one big pad that runs behind all of our houses. I wonder how it works if one of us wants to get new asphalt put down and the others don’t? I think it is probably to my benefit to de-weed the whole thing.
Mowage has been completed and I am all cleanded up. I am eatin’ a peach yogurt with banana (added the banana) and will shortly head out to the Pubic Sto’ for foodstuffs and my geezer discount. I live such a fast paced life!
Up dressed and perky. May do some stuff on the desk today and then ride a scenic route to work. Other than that I got nothing that I know about.
PS – Family Day at Knoebels is the 28th and ACE is having a day at Knoebels the following day. Guess where we’ll be? And for all the smart-asses tempted to offer suggestions I’ll ruin it for you and just say everything we need in Danville is already booked. (o)/
Somebody knocked at my door a while back. I was irking and couldn’t answer, and Sah-son being the way he is, wouldn’t answer. However, he looked out the side window and saw the police next door, on the side with the A/C laying in the yard.
Now I’ll be wondering what they wanted, and what I missed.
Please enlighten me! Why are posters welcoming me? And what do they mean by a nickname? Is this thread different from the others? Maybe I’m not even supposed to be here!!
TRCNumbers, everyone wants to be here, it’s where the cool kids hang out!
And everyone gets a welcome, and a nickname of some sort - usernames are for everyone else, you know you’ve arrived when you’ve got a Mumper name. So, welcome to the MMP
This is a regular weekly Monday Morning Post thread and you are welcome to be here as is anyone who pops in. There is a new thread each Monday with MMP in the title. Each person gets a nickname. That is just the way it is. Please do stick around, it is fun here.
Blurf I just finished a webinar which was boring as all get out. I think I will off to the drug store for Allegra D as my sinuses are all fubar and sneezing is not a fun thing for me.
It’s been a very busy morning, but busy in a good way. Still, I need the break, so yay!
**Butters **- you work in paradise - how can you possibly be unwell??? Feel better anyway.
**sari **- you certainly live in an interesting neighborhood. The place we lived in FL from 90-97 was really nice, till a neighbor was murdered. The story was home-invasion-gone-wrong, but it just didn’t make sense, as the house was smack between 2 others, while across the street, there sat a lone house. Anyway, turns out the wife put out a hit on her husband because he was screwing a classmate of their college-aged daughter. So in the end, Dad was dead, Mom was in jail, and daughter was on her own.
Apparently there is something in bloom that does not agree with me, and the man at the drug counter, where you must show driving license to buy allergy pills, said it is affecting lots of other folks too. Or there is a bunch of meth being made now. :D:
My boss is away to Vegas for a Honeymoon not that I ever see him anyway. He did finally marry his employee though she is no longer under him.
Moooommmm I was talking with boss and the Director on speakerphone the other day about the Halloween event and told them I had someone making hair and I tagged him on Facebook to see the pictures. He told me I should not spend my own money for postage and when it is time for you to send them back we will send you a label…a FEDEX label. I snickered cause I know how much you dislike FedEx. I am unsure of the spelling of label.
Now here is a puzzle for all of you. I have a small gym in my building and my office is close. There is a patron, active duty, who comes in and get on the eliptical and grunts and groans like he is dying. It is most annoying. I noticed he does not make all that noise when there are other people in there. What and how should I say something to him or should I just live with it?
**Butters **- you could go in the gym when he’s making the noise, look really concerned, and ask “Are you OK? Should I call an ambulance?!?!?” That’s subtle, right?
Heh - the FedEx label would be fine - I can just drop the box off at the shipping store - don’t have to deal with the devil’s delivery drivers at all! BTW - I think I’m over 70 wig thingies now - I made a bunch of braids that can loop over a stem, and they went really fast. I need to post a few more pics to show you some of the fun stuff I’ve finished.
Howdy Y’all! I’ve been to the Pubic Sto’, put comestibles where they live in da cave, and had N.O.L. There’s thunder rumbles in the distance so no goin’ out to the cee-mint pond until that’s gone. When one hears thunder, lightnin’ is close by. It looks a little dark to the west so a storm may be brewin’. I got some shrimpies whilst at the Pubic Sto’. Tomorrow I shall make shrimp 'n grits. YUM!
Today has basically involved slobbage. I’m trying to arrange some houses to view, which basically means sending lots of emails and waiting around for people to reply. Very tedious.
The plan is to head down there and spend a couple of days looking round, maybe this week, maybe next. I’ll phone round a few agencies tomorrow, see if I do any better by phone; I think a few don’t deal with students, which is bleedin’ daft in my view, considering I could pay the full rent for the whole course from savings.
Speaking of dodgy areas, the area immediately by this house is quite nice, but an acquaintance (at the time bf of a friend) wound up in the witness protection scheme after seeing a fatal drive by shooting just a few streets away. Gang stuff, presumably. Glad I’m a boring middle aged woman, they have no interest in me.
Or something to that effect. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it.
Feel better anyway.
