Y’all need to count your lucky stars that you don’t have to hear the Carolina Furniture Concepts ads. They have the most annoying jingle in the history of advertising. I refuse to go near the place because their jingle is so bloody annoying. I hate it so much that it’s now trying to get stuck in my head. Time to break out the howitzers to get it out. [Howitzers\*.](http://youtu.be/y11yMCnhxZE) On repeat even. (And then the rest of the album.) We had a meeting at irk. We all got pizza. 😃 Then I went up to Craven Gap to climb my mountain that I haven’t visited in a couple of weeks. It’s pretty up there now. A lot of the leaves are gone so I can actually see the view. I also saw a hoptoad climbing a hill. Hoptoads can climb. Who knew? I guess I’m going to read this library book that’s looking all sad and neglected in front of me. It’s giving me a forlorn look because it’s due next Monday. \*For the link-shy, don’t be askeert. It’s just Paul Simon. ---

Enjoying it will be delayed while we finish setting up the estate bank account, to match the “estate of” on the check and file tax returns and pay off lawyers and close bank accounts and things. But the big thing is over and I feel lighter. yay Also glad that cat can still honk. ---

> [@Capt\_Kirk](#): > > What happened? NOAA has nada for Little Rock. We sometimes have Winter storms that take out the electricity for days. We kept the tropical aquariums alive last year with the gas water heater, but the salt water tank we are starting needs electricity to run pumps and skimmers. I plan to replace the gas hoes and add a valve so that I may monthly drain the gas from the generator, use it in the car or lawn mower and replace it with fresh gasoline. ---

Every time this week that I try to read the MMP something happens. So, I really haven’t read much but I thought I’d stop by and say hello anyways. This is the last week of my first placement. (Did I already say that?) I’m looking forward to my next one if for no other reason than it’s only 15 minutes or less away from home instead of 40+ minutes. ---

Happy Thorsday. It’s a dark 62 degrees with a projected high of 69. I still have the sinus thingie going on, I hope it clears up on it’s own without me having to go to the doctor. I should be getting Sah-son up to go to the store but I still has the sleepies. I have to walk hellpup again today and of course irk irk irk. I hope to hear something from the realtor today as well. I was supposed to hear something yesterday but we all know how that goes. I guess I have been lucky enough to miss the webuyanycar comercials. I can’t decide, go back to sleep or go fro groceries. ---

Morning all, Did not sleep good. Am trying to remedy that with a large coffee filled with lotsa sugar. I has a blurf cause I have to irk tomorrow most of the day. Was watching a DVRed episode of Million Dollar Listing: LA last night with Mr. Jynxster and there was a moment that caused the very white 45 year old man that I am married to, to spontaneously exlclaim “You go girlfriend!” and then not 2 minutes later “Oh no he didn’t!”. And its supposed to be 80 degrees here today, Fall you are officially on notice to come back post haste! ---

I just saw a mouse DAMN! I hope I hear from the realtor soon with good news so I can get out of this place. Never mind a talking lion, if I saw a lion on the street I’d be heading in the opposite direction. I’d never get close enough to see if it could talk. ---

Blurf. It’s mid-afternoon and I still has a blurf. I haven’t heard from my agency yet, they were waiting to hear back about next week’s job so I guess that’s not going ahead for whatever reason. So at the moment I’m finishing here tomorrow afternoon and having some time at home instead. No work = no pay, not a good situation but at the same time I have stuff I could be doing that’s been shelved because of work commitments. Ho hum. Tonight the new fitness campaign starts, I fully expect to be staggering about like a 90-year old cripple tomorrow. Is it quit o’clock yet?
