Falling Into The MMP

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Howdy all. Been remiss in my posting, will try to catch up.

Carpet has been installed in the bedroom, so now all I need is the furniture back on Monday to finally return to something approaching normal. Also got the shower door installed, so that’s a bonus.

Paid bills, filled up gas tank, and picked up bathroom mirrors–only problem was I ordered them on-line and didn’t pay attention to the quantity per package–so I now have four mirrors instead of two (anyone need bathroom mirrors?). Also paid my property tax for the year, so that is done.

Today is cool and cloudy, we’ll see if they open the parks for soccer practice today (been closed all week), or try to ‘save’ them for Saturday’s games.

Now, let’s see what else is going on…

Nava, enjoy Lyon! And the meetings…

Sari, sounds like an eventful Firday, hope everything goes to plan (HA!)

nightshadea (do we have a MMP name for you?), hope things settle down; family drama is taxing on the system.

Butters, congrats on the 17-month anniversary.

And to any folks I missed, assorted hugs, cries, and general merriment.

Well, so much for mowage at least right now. ‘Tis foggy as all get out. Seriously I can barely see the cee-mint pond from the back perch and it’s not that far away. So, instead I made a sour cream pound cake and it’s now bakin’ away. I like this cake. Starts off in a cold oven so takes an hour and a half to bake, but sooooooooo good! I yanked some strawberries outta da freezer and will make a run to the burly butcher sto’ since it’s close for some whippin’ cream. Pound cake with strawberries and fresh whipped cream. YUM!

Recovering from the game last night; to be specific the boilermakers I had during the second half after I got home from irk. I bribed the manager billions of dollars if we managed a 3 and out and he came through; to his surprise I had 40 billion on me. Zimbabwe of course but since terms were not defined in the original bribe I considered it fair. Other than that getting ready for Phunfest at Knoebels which is a week away. So much to do before then!

**MetalMouse **- can’t you just return the ones you don’t need? Failing that, are they too “bathroomy” to maybe be used in a guest bedroom?

I should feel guilty for peeking in here as often as I do, but I don’t have that much work so it kinda helps pad my day. I’m ready to go home.

145

Get FCD to write a note, like you have a fever or a runny nose or something.

146

Can’t afford to use leave - our cruise is less than 60 days away and I’ll barely have enough leave time to cover my absence.

147

Make a model of yourself, leave it in your usual position and just sneak out for a few hours?

Glad it’s the weekend, though I am irking in the morning, after that I have 3 days totally off. I’m really hoping resting up for those days will finally shift this stupid cough/cold thingy. I was thinking I’d had it for a week, but I remember having a bit of a cough when I went to that society training day, and that’s 2 weeks ago. At least 2 other people in my class appear to have the same thing… Both caught it before the start of class, so it’s not my fault, dammit.

My daughter is going to Homecoming at King George High School tonight. The class that’s celebrating homecoming are the kids she taught when they were second graders! It was her first year of teaching. She’s stayed in touch with a few of the moms, and she’s looking forward to seeing her former charges.

Hour anna half to go. I think I have enough to keep me occupied.

Got prescribed a new sleeping pill last night. The doctor said it was very good.

It gave me unpleasant stomach and gas issues. It kept me awake for quite a while. And then the anxiety kept me awake longer.

As a result, I didn’t get much sleep. Then I went back to sleep until the afternoon. Today I’m sicker than I was yesterday.

I don’t know when it’ll end.

I’ll try to see a doctor tomorrow.

150

I thought that’s one one does for prison breaks.

Cite: movies
Someone brought in beer; it really is Fri-yay! today! :slight_smile:

151

Just because I missed it by one.
Tbhhbbbhthtttbbhthbhthbhthbbbht, Swampy! :stuck_out_tongue:

152

It’s 55 degrees and the larder is stocked. I’m in my jammies and cheese stuffed mushrooms are in the oven. A perfect night to watch teevee with Ursala Kitteh on my lap.

153

Howdy Y’all! Mowage got completed. I know y’all were worried. Also we have supped and are both quite stuffded. Pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream will be consumed later. Or not. At least for me. Soooooooo stuffded! It’s dreary out but no rain.

154

We went to Capt. Leonard’s for supper - haven’t been there in ages, and boy-howdy have their prices gone up!! It was good, but dinner for 2, no appetizers, one iced tea and one water - just shy of $59…YOIKS! But we’re both stuffded. I just finished knitting a hat and I’m about to start another. Chillage ensues.

155

We are Greatly Relieved.
I am charging the battery of the ELECTRIC START MOWER so that I may cut grass tomorrow. Rain is not forecast.

I made Mexican shrimp cocktail for dinner. Similar to the shrimp cocktail I eat at the “Mexican Sandwich” restaurant. V8 instead of clamato juice. Chopped green onions, sliced small cucumbers, avocado, cilantro, celery, Rotel and of course my shrimp that cooked too long.

dammit

156

I’s home!

I irked 11.5 hours today (no, I didn’t leave at five like originally planned). Poor Nelson was happy to see me when I got home.

Read all, retained some. Yays, boos, hugs and noogies as needed.

157

Fields were open so we had a soccer practice tonight. Tomorrow I will be coaching or refereeing from 7:30am to about 4Pm, with a 60-mile round trip thrown in. Tired I will be.

To echo red, hugs and assorted commentary to all above, which I have scanned but not absorbed. Heading off to dreamland now.

158

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. Canes won again last night. And I was at the VFW ,and it was Stan’s birthday. There were shots. I think I still have some liver left in my cirrhosis.

159

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and fair (though I see a few clouds) with a predicted high of 92 and partly cloudy with a fair to middlin’ chance of afternoon rain/tstorms/apocalypse. We shall see. No real big plans for the day. Mayhaps some quality cee-mint pond time should TWPTB cooperate. We shall sup upon steak and sallit. I grilled an extra steak yestiddy which shall get sliced up to go on sallit. Might even make some cheesey garlic bread. Sloth is the word of the day.

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

Happy Sattidy Y’all!

What an awful night! First off, Ziva had managed to get into our room and she wouldn’t come out until bribed with treats. Then I absolutely could not fall asleep - it was after midnight before I dropped off. I woke around 4, then again around 6, when I gave up and took out my tablet, and I finally dragged out of bed a little after 7.

It’s not going to be a pleasant day, that’s for sure. Oh, the weather will be gorgeous, but I’ll be less than optimum in performance.
