Iz vacation 
Anything else the calendar says is irrelevant.
Did laundry. Now I’ve got a closet and a dresser full of clothes waiting to be dirtied again. I feel productive.
Got up, drove in to irk experience… and the weather was so utterly diabolical that they basically said they had nothing for us to do so we could go home if we wanted. Hung round for a bit in their rather good library to see if it cleared up or they thought of something, then came home again.
It’s raining sideways and the paths were practically streams, so I can see their point, but I had my good waterproofs on, and I only have one more day there, so it was a bit of a disappointment to just turn round and home home.
Oh well, I have skool irk I should be getting on with, 'cos I’ll be away for the weekend so I ain’t doing any then.
I have a song that wants to be stuck in my head, but I can’t catch enough of it to even sing along.
Laundry and the usual mid-week blurfs. Other than that not much.
I’ve got a meeting with the boss this afternoon! :eek: No, I’m not in trouble. There’s a crapload of files that need to be converted to .dxf format so one other drafter and I will divvy them up. Sounds tedious… but it all pays the same.
Leftover pasta for lunch - yum!
There’s a pool going around for when our Config Manager squeezes out her baby next month. I don’t do pools. And apparently neither does anyone else in this group. At least not baby pools. I like Renee and all, but there’s another baby’s impending arrival that’s just a bit more important to me. 
Plumbers came back and…left again because they need a different tool (apparently the way my sink piping was installed was different than all other sink piping in the universe). Maybe get water tomorrow.
Otherwise it is warm (yeah) and raining (boo).
Go play in the dirt. 
Put on a bathing suit, grab a bar of soap & go outside; that way you won’t need to vacuum the floor when your done w/ your shower. :rolleyes:
Can I haz quittin’ time?
Back to last week…just got the email back, they consider Canary Islands to be Africa so it’s still in consideration for going later this year, but first I am waiting for the end of the month to see if I’ve won the lottery for NYM.
Oy! Laying out of irk today. When I woke up, my blood sugar was only 55. :eek: It took until around lunch time to get it up to 80. It’s not a totally lost day though; I’ve had a warm puppy curled up next to me for the duration.
Blurf. This has been the longest week ever. Still watching the Olympics. Dare I say I shall be glad to get back to irk next Tuesday as Moanday is a holiday? I don’t think I would be good retired.
Feel better Red
Red sleeping, cuddly puppies help with all kinds of things.
MetalMouse I admire your patience in dealing with this leak. Hopefully it will all be done tomorrow.
I’ll try and push end of day along for all of you.
Happy Wednesday.
** Wifey** has decreed that tonight’s dinner shall be pizza. Specifically a heart shaped pepperoni pizza as advertised by our local take-n-bake place.
I think she’s tired of the weird stuff I make for dinner.
That’s okay with me.
MetalMouse, I’ve never known a plumber to not have a large truck, or van, chock full of arcane tools they hardly ever use. My money is on they had someplace they’d rather be.
Answering machine just got a call from my new pharmacy. Apparently they have filled my prescription that I called in and left a message about, and they want me to come get it, right now! 
So I’ve got that to look forward to today. They’re next door to Walmart, so I can duck in there and maybe score some on-sale coffee. I’m a multi-tasker, I am!
OMS howled in his sleep about 6am this morning. 
I’ve never heard him howl before. He hardly ever even barks. And now he has an assistant (Yorkie) to bark at the[del] mailman[/del] mailperson and other sketchy monsters, for him.
We haven’t watched much olympics at all. We kinda like the ice dancing stuff, and I like curling :eek:, but the rest of it bores us both. I think I’d like the biathlon if they used real guns, but they didn’t ask me.
Happy VD day, y’all
They cut off his head ya’know? Maybe in a fit of prescience?
Happy Hump Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Notice how well those two days go together.
As my Russian friend used to say, ‘Only in America do you have ze day for ze humpf. I will tell my husband that it is American law, that one must humpf on ze humpf day!’
I always wonder, does the apostrophy go before or after the ‘s’ in Valentines?
I think before since there was only one St. Valentine, however, it coulld be plural as in all the Valentines out there celebrating.
It’s a cloudy 46 degrees outside.
I expected it to feel wamer but there is a bit of a chill.
The furnace inspection is done and all is good.
The dog behaved nicely, I was a little worried because we almost never have visitors.
However, he associates the doorbell with PIZZA!, so he thinks the doorbell is a positive thing.
I checked things out with Petco and their cut off for puppy play time is 6 months, so Ripple is too old.
PetSmart up here doesn’t seem to have puppy or adult playtime. They have it, just not up here.
I would love to see a pug do agility, it would have to be cute.
What do they have, BB guns?
Now I have a vision of corks on strings.
Bummer Sari. Well, you could always sign up for a few classes at PetCo and see how it goes. They aren’t that expensive.
I think 'Beamer has the flu. I need to go to the market and get him gatorade and other goodies. He has no filters at all, so he’ll tell you all about why he needs the gatorade. Slow your roll there buddy. I don’t need the play by play, just “I got sick 5 times.” Poor guy. 
Don’t wanna go to the market, but I will. I thought we were going to get snow this morning, but it warmed up just enough that we got really cold rain instead.
sari, check out community organizations. One of ou local ones offers basic puppy training and socialization for dogs up to a year old and they’re free. Nelson is signed up for next month.
My BG is back up to normal and I’m messing around in the studio. I sketched a scrapbook layout about the Great Depression with pics and documents from Dad’s side of the family. I’m in the process of making copies of the orginals now.
Howdy Y’all! We got Ashed and afterward I went to the Pubic Sto’ bein’ as today is geezer day. We have supped and all is well. St. Valentine is not recognized in the Anglican church. He is not listed in Lesser Feasts and Fasts. That’s a book. Luteruns don’t hold to him either it appears. BTW major feasts and fasts are listed in The Book of Common Prayer Oh and since it is now Lent, we are usin’ the Rite I Episcopal service. I love me some Rite I! It’s the one with all the funny words.
Thus endeth today’s lesson.
Negotiated dinner out for Friday night so I didn’t have to go out on a school night, so I gave the wife something she always enjoys - I cleaned the kitchen after dinner…
Something odd ------- could not find the quick reply box at the bottom of the page. I cheated and hit reply and then just x’d out the post. I would investigate but I’m just too tired right now. Maybe if I wake up later.
Close so I’m going to go have a cigar.
There, I fixed it for you.
We should get together, because I’m having a Scotch. Unfortunately, I need to get a new bottle…& it’s 'spensive. 
But for tonight, a celebratory good Scotch is in order. 
closer…
