Extra napkins in the MMP

Busy morning.

Dog is making me crazy.

My cat, whom I’m sure loves me a great deal and is always affectionate with me, has never given me a single head butt. Not once, not ever.
Ripple was standing on the deck and Adam walks right over to him and gives him a head butt.

What kind of puppy Sunny?

My son is going to have fun I think. In his business class everybody has to team up for a group assignment. The professor told them to team up but if anybody was having trouble to let him know and he would assign teams. My son, being so shy, emailed the professor and asked him to assign him to a team. Instead his professor set up a message board for the teams to form.
My son got an email for a classmate asking it he would like to team up. I like the guy, he is from Africa, Ghana I think, and his posts are really interesting. (yes I read the class message boards, they are usually pretty interesting) My son agreed and the guy sends back, okay what do we have to do and when is it due? Does nobody read the syllabus anymore? Another guy joined the group, and I have a feeling my son is going to be the group leader. That is going to be a challenge for him I think, but I also think it will be good for him. It could be fun, or it could be a disaster.

Congrats on being almost done with the remodeling MetalMouse. I dread the thought of having to do that, but I have a long way to go before I have to think about it. Except for a new bathtub, I really want one. There are other more prssig things that need to be done around here though.

I woke at 2ish am and was awake for an hour or more. I guess I went to bed too early.

I have to go to a retirement celebration this afternoon for the outgoing director. I don’t want to go but must at least show up for a half hour or something. There will be so many people there they won’t miss me but I have to at least show up.

Tis been raining this morning with more rain expected this weekend. That means I shall probably be slow at irk tomorrow. I have a new hire starting next week and eventually I hope to be able to have my regular weekends back. It will take months to train her though.

Happy Firday all! and happy Weekend!

It’s a Japanese Akita Sari. I’ve paid a deposit, but I have to figure out how to get it from Florida to here.

Tomorrow we leave Oregon. :frowning:

Cute puppy Sunny. Where is Florida is it?

Ok, this is a first–my quack called to inform me that my A1C was below 7 for the first time.

Since he’s been my quack since the turn of the century, he was doing the Snoopy dance over the phone.

Pizza for supper, because **FCD **wanted it. That is, he’s having pizza. I’m having mushroom calzone. The kids are on their own because SIL doesn’t like the pizza we get. Too bad so sad.

:stuck_out_tongue:

squeeeeeee!

I hear Debussy wrote a piece of music about my roommate. It’s called Afternoon On The Phone.

My roommate came back. I was tired this afternoon, as usual. I did get a short window of time when my roommate actually stopped talking on the phone, but was woken up a bit later by more phone talking. I dunno, maybe talking on the phone a lot is a thing normal people do, and a thing that other normal people don’t get annoyed by. I know, I’m weird.

I think I need to go get dinner, and/or go get groceries. I also need to talk to my roommate, but she’s been unreachable for the whole day.

Arrrgh.

Howdy Y’all! We have ingested majik intartoobz pizza and sallit, cause sallit makes it healthy. I did some errands this mornin’, then had some quality cee-mint pond time. If’n September must act like August, then use the cee-mint pond I shall.

Sunny keeeyoote puppeh!

Butters yet another thing on the why I like bein’ retired list is no more mandatory social functions. Hated those!

Midget I am prone to tell my phone to shut up when it rings. :smiley:

ETA: Alien yay for low A1C!

Store bought, delivered or home made?

delivered… and ingested. Yum!

I wonder if that is the origin of Hot Pockets. :dubious:

Duh, why don’t you call her.

:wink:

Haha, well, if I didn’t get the chance to talk to her, I was going to send her a message asking if we could talk. But since this afternoon, we did get to talk, so that’s good. :slight_smile:

Yay for the light at the end of the tunnel metal mouse!

Too bad about FCG’s photo Mooooom.

george, that sounds like a good lunch to me.

sunny, that’s one cute pupper! Do you have a name picked out yet?

WTG Alien! Once you have your A1C down, it’s easier to maintain, likely because you’ve made some lifestyle changes that worked.

I actually irked to 1530 today. As soon as I got in the car, it began to sprinkle. By the time I got through the two school zones that I have to endure when I get off a little early, we were getting a downpour. It stopped about the time I got to Aldi and didn’t begin again until I got into the car. It rained about 2/3 of the way home and stopped long enough for me to unload and walk the dog. Luck seems to be with me today. :slight_smile:

I’m going to have fun the first weekend in October!

My sister and I have for some time intended on taking a two day trip October 5-6. We are going to south central Kansas for two things, birding at a wildlife refuge and a visit to the town of Stafford Kansas for their Oktoberfest Weiner Dog races!

Today we planned the trip and when I mentioned I’d board my dog( a weiner dog) with the vet my sister was surprised. She said she’d figured I meant to bring him along. I’d assumed she wouldn’t want to bother with my own dog but she thought it would be fun. I could even enter him in the races!

So I guess I’m going to see how well Mauser travels. It will be like traveling with a child. It’s not a long trip. from an early start on Friday to returning late on Saturday, but if you’ve ever traveled with a dog and have pointers I’d appreciate hearing about them.

Puppy’s name is Akiko, which means Autumn, or Sparkle, depending on which characters you use to write it.

Puppy is in Middleburg. He said he could bring it to either Orlando or some place else that has an airport which escapes my mind at the moment. Orlando has lots of flights, being Orlando. I’m hoping to find an option where I can catch an early flight, meet him, and then fly straight back. So far, I’m not finding enough time in between the arriving flight and the departing flight. Puppy at the end though.

I used to live in Middleburg - It’s just a bit south of Jacksonville. Seems odd he’d go all the way to Orlando for a flight.

Yes, I’m up stupid early. Hoping to fall back to sleep…

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 72 Amurrkin out and clear (well, dark) with a predicted high of 95 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. Again, August in September. As memory serves, today is also the first day of Fall. Rah. We shall have quality cee-mint pond time with JDD and Partner. We shall sup upon hot dawgs, slaw, and baked beans. The beans have been taken out of da freezer to thaw and I made the slaw last night. Beans just need to be really heated up in the oven and dawgs grilled. Easy-Peasey! YAY! Anywho, that’s the big plan of the day.

Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day!

Happy Sattidy Y’all!

My one cousin (Meggie and her husband Walter the Pollock) has had several Akita rescues in a row; lovely dogs!
Other than that I am awake and ready for a weekend of adulthood.
