You’re positively _beaming_ in that first pic. Baby’s such a cutie, too.

Take some rest, and be well, both of you. 🙂

Congratulations April 🙂 Enjoy those precious baby moments. They go by too fast.  
And…I think I decided to cancel that interview. It’s just…something doesn’t seem right. The instant phone call, the instant delete of the listing after I confirmed the interview. Then I found out they’re another company and were using some like…dummy site/name to use for recruiting people. I can’t find any info about the company outside of directory listings and they’ve been around since 2011. I’m just like…torn. Yeah, I need a job and I should just go and see what it’s like at the interview. But…I just have a bad feeling about it, I just can’t shake it ☹

Yay for baby Mumper!  
Squee!

Had to go into town to see jobcentre course people- a little cheesed off, as she apparently had sent multiple appointment letters, for different days (two of which she claimed were actually sent before I phoned the centre and asked them when I was supposed to be having an appointment, and was assured that no letters had been sent).  
Someone has then complained to the jobcentre, which could get my benefits cut. I’m also now wondering what other mail I didn’t get…

You do need to push with these guys, she was trying to send me on a really basic ‘customer service skills’ course, which I really don’t believe most employers I want to deal with would take seriously at all, but it took a _lot_ of persuading to get her to actually sign me up for a course a lot of adverts have been requesting, because she ‘didn’t think it would be useful for me’. Gaaah. Anyway,

Anyway, me and the housemate went to the pub quiz last night, and actually came _third!_ We won something! Not the booby prize!

Sheesh, **Apes** , can’t the kid at least smile for the camera?? 😛 Ya done good and she’s adorable. I hope she doesn’t become an annoying teenager too soon.

It’s looking like some major weather is moving our way, so whatever we do in the deck today will probably be it till mid week next week. Guess I can take on some of the household chores I’ve been neglecting. Plus fun stuff like organizing and/or purging our files - I get tired of searching every time we need a document and my sweetie is good at this sort of organization, so we’ll attack it together. I hope…

Daughter is coming to dinner tonight and we’re having quiche because I haven’t made one in ages. I’m actually going to make 2 because I like it leftover for breakfast.

Higglet’s crate wasn’t properly locked last night and while I was getting dressed to let her out, she came charging into the bedroom. We need to double check her lockup procedures, lest we end up with her coming to sleep in our bed in the middle of the night.

Thus beginneth another day - Happy Thursday!!

Congrats **Apes**! Beautiful babby, LOVE the name!

Much blah here. Mr. Jynxster’s car should be out of the repair place tomorrow. Only took 2 weeks to fix a bumper and passenger side turn light _eye roll_. Am thankful I am off tomorrow as we will have the remnents of Tropical Storm Andrea blast through most of the day. They did mention a slight possibility of tornados. My biggest fears are natural disastors and fire and me not being able to protect my kittehs. I shall try to stay safe and snuggly.

Congratulations, **Apes**!!

In other news, I ran almost 6 miles yesterday. Today I can barely walk. Apparently my hips disapproved…

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffienated, purtified, brekkied and at irk! We went to Pearly’s this mornin’ again. I had scrambled aigs, bacon, grits and a bizkit. YUM!

Today’s weather forecast is once again gloom/doom/apocalypse. Did not happen yestiddy. Right now ‘tis 73 Amurrkin out and muggy. Also all cloudy. The predicted high is _ONLY_ 80 for the day. BRRRRRR! 😃 We also have a flash flood watch in effect until tomorrow mornin’ due to the fact we could get up to eight inches of rain. Eight inches. That’s what she said!

I have an appointment at nine o’clock to get somebody signed up at a host agency for trainin’. If’n it’s gonna storm ‘twill happen then cause I forgot to bring an umbrella and don’t have one in Twuck.  
**TP** if it just does not feel right then I don’t blame ya for not takin’ the interview. Does sound sorta :dubious:.

Happy Thursday Y’all!

I am at irk, it is irksome. My co-irker had a day-surgery on Friday to remove a lump on her leg and had thought she’d be back in the office this week. Now it turns out she is likely to be off for a couple of weeks longer than expected so I have been helping out with an event she’d been working on for next week. There is another one the week after so I will probably end up sorting that out as well.

Things in my previous job are not going well either, the woman who took over from me and spent ages complaining that she had neither training nor support has now gone off sick at possibly the most crucial time of year. She will most likely not be allowed to go back to that post, which is a shame because the office is nice and the academics are lovely but they have had a very raw deal. I told one of her colleagues that they should never have got rid of the temp… 🙂

**Sticky** - well done on the run, shame the hips don’t approve but perhaps they can be persuaded that it’s a good idea!

A tropical storm named after me though…how divine!

CONGRATS, APES!!!

She’s beautiful. Glad to hear everything (and everyone) came out okay. 🙂

Today is looking like a long, boring day with possible rainocalypse that isn’t supposed to be here until tonight, but the sky’s lookin’ pretty antsy about it.

Had it become a level 5 hurricane it would have been even more appropriate. 😃
