Not sure. I got sort of a “free” day on Monday.
But tomorrow is Pub Crawl, and I have the perfect shirt for it
We once went to Savannah for Electrical license boards and after that was over we went downtown to imbibe. I was wearing a new pair of slick sandals. On the cobblestone streets and sidewalks. Feet flew out from under me and I knocked down about six other ppl in the process. Those were the good old days.
I accidentally put Ocean mist in my eyes instead of in my nose. Not recommended.
I shall be on the Doctor’s doorstep when they open. I think this is the flu vice a cold. I am sore all over, have a fever and a monstrous headache. Plus the incessant sneezing.
Dogioooo do have fun and be safe on the road. I am glad you got a sitter for Gordie. Love the shirt.
Pretty sure I picked it up in the MMP in the first place :).
Transit decided to get their act together today and be functional. Seems they take turns with the callers playing with my blood pressure.
Well, it’s G-d damn hot! I’m considering getting foamed insulation. The house is 65 years old. I need to drill a hole in the wall under the kitchen cabinets and find out if it is insulated.
It is so G-d damn hot that my dog was chasing a squirrel, and they were both lying down.
Those might be mutually exclusive(ask Ruble).
Does he have an MD? Maybe his doc could recommend someone.
Butters - I hope you feel better soon.
Doggio - have fun this week. Don’t get caught.
Hubby is in Texas this week. On Thursday, I do the final walkthrough on the new house. We get it next week.
My haid hurts today. Rosie’s sig to all.
doggio, that’s a nice T-shirt, but here’s one that will get you talked about (see back of shirt)…General Sherman's American Tour T-shirt | Zazzle
{{Butters}}…but at 700 miles distant, which I think is a reasonable distance for a hug in this case…
Out at the soccer fields again, gave my 5 minute talk/coach recruiting speech to the parents in attendance, and in general helped direct folks to the correct fields.
Now fed and well-supplied with fluids, so bed time shortly.
Well, I am a “Damn Yankee”, so I Might wear that one.
Da Jungle decided to change things so my 18 hour guarantee for 5 shifts is now 15 hours ------- which given the current bosses means 15 hours is about the best I can hope for unless I give up my weekends.
And I got home to find that our new neighbors, in a neighborhood that is already tough parking, have two cars and a truck. I’m last one home in the evenings so now it looks like I’m parking at the end of the block and walking.
And the chimney is still leaking.
Come September 1 I’m selling everything I own and going to live in a cave. Not a Jawja type cave but a good old-fashioned hermit cave.
There are days ---------- and those are the only kind I seem to get anymore.
That bites utterly. And not in a good way.
Since it’s tee’d up…
& Doggio since I’m not attending, can you imbibe on my behalf. Thanks!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 75 Amurrkin out and clear (dark, actually) with a predicted high of 95 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. IOW ‘tis Summer in Jawja. Today I shall perform trash duty over to the church house and lay in provisions. The Pubic Sto’ has a deal on shrimpies, thus tonight’s sup shall be shrimpies 'n grits with some kind of vegetative matter tbd. Might also get in some quality cee-mint pond time.
doggio have fun and have a safe trip to Savannah. If you have some time, ride down to Tybee. It ain’t all that as a beach IMO, but it’s a thing to say you’ve done whilst there. I like Savannah. It’s a cool and mostly laid back place.
{{{Butters}}} hope the doc can get ya fixed up and on the mend.
Ruble what doggio said. That bites the big one!
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, bother of bothers, alas and alack, I must purtify and don appropriate bein’ about the public attire. Life is too hard!
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
I believe **BBBobbio **gave us TVCTPMO in one of his many adventures in letter-writing.
Not only am I shrinking in my old age, but I’m beginning to think I’ve grown a prostate and it’s waking me every night to pee. Not amused, folks!
**doggio **- should we start a go-fund-me for bail money?
{{{Butters}}} - here’s hoping for a quick diagnosis and an even quicker recovery.
The Amish guys showed up late yesterday afternoon - turns out there are 2 holes in our new roof, dammit. They patched them and ordered new steel panels to replace the holey ones - with luck, they can install them on Thurs.
And so begins another day of fun at my desk. I’ve got a bunch of stuff to do for Josh, then I’ll be at the bottom of the pile. Or not - work always seems to show up.
Happy Wednesday!!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to Savannah.
But…I only drink on days that end in “y”.
If I get caught, I’m going to plead The Fifth.
Morning all. Need to clean up the house a bit (yeah, right…). Otherwise another quiet day is expected, there is a 40% chance of rain this evening, so soccer is a (?).
Lent must be tough on you!
[spoiler][del]An Irishman[/del] Doggiowalked into a bar in [del]California[/del] North Carolina and took a seat at a table in the corner by himself. When approached by the bar tender he ordered three shots of whiskey.
The bartender exclaimed, “Three shots of whiskey and all at the same time!”
“Oh yes”, said the Irishman. “You see, I have one brother in New York and another brother in Ireland and every night after work we each sit down at the same time and have a drink together for old time sake. So I have one drink for me, one drink for me brother in New York, and one drink for me brother in Ireland.”
“I understand,” said the bartender.
So then the bartender delivered the three shots of whiskey to the man. The Irishman then raised a toast, drank all three shots of whiskey and then went home.
Thereafter, the Irishman returned to the same bar at the same time each night and ordered three shots of whiskey each time, made a toast to his brothers, drank the three shots and went home.
After several weeks of the same routine the Irishman came in one night at the usual time but this time only ordered two shots of whiskey. The bartender became quite concerned and made his condolences to the Irishman because of the death of one of his brothers. But the Irishman spoke up and said,
"Oh sir, no need to be sad, I haven’t lost one of me brothers. You see, I have one shot of whiskey for me brother in New York, one shot of whiskey for me brother in Ireland, and I being Catholic, well, I gave up drinking for Lent[/spoiler]
“Pleeessssshhe, can I have anotherssshhh drinkssshhh” is not typically referred to as pleading (for the) fifth.
Just make sure you have Chico’s on speed dial!
I have a Dr. appt at 1015. Finally. Still puny.
Happy Hump Day!
It’s wet outside, but the sun is shining now, supposed to get up to 86 today.
I was going to irk in the yard, but we had a lot of rain last night and the ground is soaked. Makes it easier to pull weeds, but I’m going to do some stuff inside.
I got Ripple off to daycare, they tell me he is one of their favorites, but I suspect they tell everybody that. I have noticed though that the people who were a little leery of him are now quite affectionate with him.
I convinced my son to go to the Mexican restaurant for lunch. We’ll go around 2:00 when it shouldn’t be crowded. He wants me to ask if we can talk with somebody, not a problem for me. He thinks it’s rude, but in my experience most people love to talk about themselves, and every immigrant I have ever met has loved to talk about their home country, why they left, what they miss, what they love about the US and what they hate about the US.
If this doesn’t work, I don’t know what else he can do.
He has an A in the class, but this assignment is 1/6 of his grade, and a low score is going to hurt.
Sunny - my son hasn’t been to a doctor in since forever. He needs to go, my insurance says you have to see the PCP once a year. Of course getting him to go anywhere is hard, let alone to a doctor.
I just figured out I can relax about getting my taxes done. I thought they were due August 15, it’s October 15. I don’t know why I have August in my head.
Sometime today I have to call the Maryland Exchange back and get that taken care of.
Then I need to call the city because the water/gas/whomever people put all the recycling bins on our side of the street and we have one that is not ours sitting in front of our house. I don’t want the dumb inspector bitch sending me a nasty letter about leaving my trash can out, so somebody needs to come out here and collect all the cans on this side of the street and put them back with their rightful owners. They all have codes on them that say where they belong. There are a mess of them out there, but the only one I care about is the one in front of my house.
The street has been repaved, so I guess they are done except for somebody coming out to paint the center lines and paint in the parking spaces.
I have to call the internet company, I have having problems with my ring doorbell (and my computer) and I think it is because my internet speed is too slow. I know they upgraded and I need to talk to them about it. I may have to switch internet companies, not that there are a lot of options up here.
My neighbors told me yesterday that they are moving. I had a bunch of boxes out back that needed to be recycled and they asked for them. I hope the landlord does a good job of selecting the next renters. Somebody quiet I hope.
Two people I like got into an argument at the dog park yesterday. I didn’t want to take sides, so I didn’t. There are more than a few dogs that jump up onto the picnic tables at the park. It is a little annoying sometimes, because they will get in your face and try to lick you. However, it is the DOG park, and IMO if you go there you should expect to be licked, and jumped on, and knocked down if you are not careful. One woman got pissed because one of the dogs kept jumping on the table, and the owner of the dog is like it’s the dog park get over it. I am in the it’s the dog park get over it camp. What annoys me are the dogs that bark all the time, but it is the dog park, dogs will bark. I also get annoyed at the dogs that put their feet in the water bowls, or knock them over, or carry them off. But it is the dog park, get over it. I do get pissed though when THEIR owners don’t refill the bowls. If your dog is the one knocking the bowls over, then you should be the one who carries them back up to the fountain to refill them.
However, it’s the dog park, so I don’t say anything because all dogs, including my own well mannered precious baby, are annoying to somebody, sometime.
Get over it.
Some woman brought food into the park yesterday, she was a little annoyed that several of the dogs kept jumping up onto the table to try to steal it. We all just shrug our shoulders, big sign on the gate that says NO FOOD, so no sympathy from me or anybody else.
Safe and happy travels Doggio
I also believe it was** Bobbio** who came up with TVCTPMO, I wish he’d come back but I can’t say I blame him if he doesn’t.
I hope you feel better soon Butters
{{{Ruble}}}
I have the flu. Got Tamiflu and cough syrup. WTH?
Lunch break! It’s been a crazy morning, but I learned a rather cool feature today - it sure could have made my life easier if I’d known about it eons ago instead of a few months before leaving. Oh well…
Since Roxy’s sitter is on vacation this week, I have the freedom to make a few stops on the way home, so I shall! The Amish peaches have been especially yummy this year, as are the 'maters. I think I’ll get a watermelon, too. Plus Food Lion has a few specials that I want to nab. I think supper will be grab whatever tonight.
Poor Butters… Feel better soonly!!!
