Have I mentioned lately that I hate you?
Oye.
Evenin’ blurf.
Just got back from the new flat, with the keys. It’s actually bigger than I remembered, and I’m generally pretty happy. The only slight problem is that I was told when I applied that it was not on a key meter, which is a (often more expensive) pay-in-advance system for electricity, and it turns out that they made a mistake, and it actually is.
I was Not Happy about this- aside from the fact it may well wind up more expensive, it also means that if you’re away for a bit, you run the risk of your power running out, so I could go camping for the weekend and come home to a warm smelly fridge and dead axolotls.
They phoned the owner though, and he’s fine with it being changed, so hopefully it should be fixed soon. Slightly reassuring that it wasn’t a big issue for him as well.
Coulda done without the drive back though, it seemed far longer than the drive down.
Home, mentally fried. Supper might be a bowl of cereal. Or not. I will be sleeping with Mel.
I made all kinds of dumb mistakes today - I’m sure the fatigue had something to do with it. I hope that’s what it was anyway - surely I’m not losing my mind…
We have dined and the kitchen is clean. I’m feelin’ sleepified. Gotta fight that.
doggio, don’t count on the extra bux being in your account for long.
Late in the evening yesterday, Nelson got ouchy where he got his shots. He also slept a lot. This morning, he was his usual bouncy self. 
Things are going well at irk. My semi new project is going better than planned. It’s amazing how much more you can get done when you aren’t splitting a list.
Worked a double and then some ---- 11 hours. I’m getting too old for this.
Tell me about it. I worked the tenth day of a twelve day “week”.
I am puny. Either the mumps or strep. Nooooooo’ aint nobody got time for either…
Worked came home. Still ust have some jet lag, because i dozed off. Making Utalian Chicken with Asiago rice and lemon basil spinach.
It was gone withing 12 hours. Now if they could just take out the correct amount, so I could be done with these morons.
Feel better.
I am so happy being retired (you may all hate on me for the next 24 hours…)
Spent over two hours at the soccer fields with well over 120 8- and 9-year old soccer players. Imparted some bits of wisdom and got to try out my little red wagon (verdict is that it is great for carrying stuff, but handle is too short, need to figure out an extension).
The Burger King provided dinner tonight after chasing all those kids. And so to bed in a bit.
Took Pepper to puppy class. She learned a few things and then ran around with the other pups.
Other than that, just found out my MiL is arriving tonight. She’s coming for the eclipse.
Since she’s interested in astronomy you could greet her with a moon. :eek: :o 
Swampy, that’s not a purse, that’s a suitcase!
Watching the news. People are already arriving for the eclipse. It’s getting crazy over in eastern Orygun.
Mom, Wifey is getting interested in some cruise in Oct. to the Greek islands by way of Spain. $1300 and up for 13 nights, and, I suppose, a corresponding amount of days. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Does that sound like a reasonable amount?
I went on a several months long cruise courtesy of Uncle Sam almost 50 years ago, so I’m of two minds about the whole thing. :dubious:
Gonna go watch the rest of the news.
How can one go from perfectly healthy to feeling like one has swallowed shards of glass in a matter of an hour? This, when I have no staff and mandatory credit card audit/training today. I will have to soldier or sailor through and steer clear of Ms. Judy as I cannot get her sick. Just can’t. Mumps are the only childhood disease I never had so immediately that’s where my mind goes. Tis probbly garden variety tonsillitis and I don’t feel sick except when swalllowing. I managed a few hours sleep, just took Motrin and hope for a couple more hours. I also have a zit under my nose; one of those that cannot be seen but I know it’s there.
How fitting if I really have the Mumps? Then I could be a real Mumper
I really hope it’s not strep.
Me too Nettie. I have ruled out mumps as I don’t have the face/neck swelling. I feel fine from the neck down. Very strange to come on so quickly. Hubby is good friends with our scratch and dent Dr. and said he can get me in first thing this morning. Amazing what the ability to keep air conditioners running can get you.
Why am I awake in the middle of the night? Other than this blasted sore throat. Gonna try for another hour or two.
Happy Thorsday!
It’s dark outside. Supposed to get up to 87.
I woke at 4 and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I am up.
The cat isn’t allowed out back anymore. Yesterday he killed a baby bunny. I like bunnies.
I’ll spare y’all the details.
I told him he needs to be upstairs hunting squirrels.
Got stuff to do today.
For whatever reason the loan company that financed the plumbing and won’t let me pay with a debit card will also not let me enter banking information.
That means I have to call and talk to a person. Of course when I call I will get the message telling me all about the website and how I can save time by using it.
Sah-son can’t log into Moodle. The college started some new shit about having to change passwords every semester, however he can’t get into Moodle to change his password.
I don’t know why people can’t leave stuff alone.
We have to pick a day to go get his books, and he needs to update his student ID.
So annoying.
The sleep disruption is annoying, and the cat is plucking my last nerve. He will not get out from underfoot. I almost stepped on him yesterday while I was carrying a bowl of hot soup. My fault for buying treats for him again, he is worse than a kid whose has Halloween candy.
The treats are gone now and once he figures that out he will leave me alone.
I hope you feel better soon Butters.

Got two offers of potential bee sites at the new place this morning; both sound really good. Yay!
Another night from hades… I went back shortly after 8, popped a melatonin, and watched a little TV to get drowsy. Turned off the TV at 9. Still awake at 9:30 when **FCD **came back. Still awake at 10. Wakened at 11:30 when **FCD **was apparently fighting ninjas in his sleep - he punched my pillow, then kicked me in the leg. I woke him and he faced the other way, and I eventually dropped off again.
Bladder roused me around 3 (sometimes I think I have the prostate of a 90-y/o man) and I fell asleep again, only to dream that while I was away, someone moved into my house (tho in the dream it didn’t look like any house I’ve ever been in) and a realtor brought in a decorator to do the place over… and I woke again about 15 minutes before my alarm.
Yeah, I’m tired. Caint’ hardly keep my eyes open - the drive in was almost scary.
**Bumba **- that fare sounds good - $100/day/person is my personal benchmark. Bear in mind that you’ll have air fare with its possible upcharge for luggage, plus there will be taxes, port fees, and gratuities on top of that, plus transportation between the ship and the airport. And we won’t talk about shipboard bar tabs - I don’t drink, but apart from the pricey beverages, they add a gratuity automatically. Still, I think a cruise can still be a great vacation at a reasonable price.
Well, let’s see how badly I can screw things up today. Sooooooo tahred!!!
Happy Thursday, I guess. Dammit.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 74 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 94 and mostly N.O.S. with the ever present chance of a popcorn tstorm this afternoon. I have no big plans for the day outside of some errands I need to get done and a trip to Sam’s to stock up on paper towels and tp (down to my last 48 rolls! :eek:). Grilled poke chops and whatever side matter I decide upon will be dindin.
{{{Butters}}} here’s hopin’ whatever you have is minor. Yay for gettin’ in to see the doc on short notice. Nice to have connections.
Nuts yay for potential bee sites!
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then I suppose I should purtify before goin’ about the public.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
