One of my college buddies had a cat nicknamed Whitey. I got him a tag that said YT.
I hereby move that **whitetho **be dubbed YT. Do I have a second?
Today we learned all about windows.
One item in the Consolidated To Do List was the wash the living room windows, both inside and out. Sah-son didn’t pay attention to the directions which says to open the window a few inches *BEFORE *tilting them in. Fortunately, he did not bend the frame. However, he got to learn all about shoes, why one should hold onto the screwdriver tightly when adjusting them, how to get the windows re-seated into them, and just how damn heavy windows can be when trying to re-seat them.
One day that kid will learn to read directions before starting a project. Maybe. Probably not. After all, he is a man.
I ordered a gift for him today, I know he will be thrilled to get it.
A new step ladder that is taller than the existing one.
He just* luvs* heights.
The neighbor was telling me about hers. I found one like it on Amazon, and it was a lightening deal today.
Almost time to leave for the dentist. WOOHOO!!!
Dindin has been ingested. Kitchen is clean. All is good. Been rainyish all day. No big rains just little off and on showers. On the plus side the grass is all green. On the negative side the grass is growin’ fast.
Well, dang - a little decay is starting around an older filling, so I’ll go back in a couple of weeks and get it fixed. Other than that, I’s good for another 6 months.
I didn’t get home till after 5, and **FCD **got home after 5:30. We had some sushi and now we’re in veg mode. And another Monday goes down the tubes.
What doggio said on his last post. Ya gave us an awesome season PREDS!
I stayed home most of the day. I woke up in the middle of the night with asthma issues and didn’t really get back to sleep. I did go in for a breathing treatment and managed a nap this afternoon though. I’m feeling a bit better now.
Someone has kidnapped Tiny Tabby and replaced her with a kitten that likes to be picked up and petted. Either that or she’s Up To Something. :dubious:
It’s a rainy night in Jawja! We shall retire to the boudoir to watch teevee until sleepy time. Just a good evenin’ for such an activity.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Knowing cats I’d vote for the latter.
I worked. Lack of hockey make me blurf-y. 100 days till preseason.
I’m in the same energy boat. It helps to be on the bottom floor,b halfway in a hilside.
Trust me, the level of profanity from me in the last 36 hours has shocked sailors.:mad:
Who’s “we”? You & OYKW or you & Eddie Rabbit?
How dare you be profane in front of them. :mad:
big kitty, if we’re taking bets, mine is on up to something.
I made a Marine DI blush once; one of the proudest moments of my life. A busted Harley shock had just come apart in my hands and grazed my chin before putting a hole in the roof.
Worked and had home-made salad bar. Still unpacking and repacking at the same time.
You’re right, I could!
I won’t, but I could.
I shall do last minute panic shopping, and buy him something silly. I get about an hour in Birmingham centre on the way up, as well as this evening. Plenty of time, right…? :rolleyes:
Blurf. Exam scrutiny meeting hell continues. This morning I came in to find my manager having almost reduced our newest minion almost to tears by telling her all the reports I’d done for her scrutiny meeting this morning were the wrong ones. The poor girl is having a hard enough time working out what’s going on, she went to a scrutiny meeting yesterday with me (and the reports I’d produced) and just about got a grip on things…then this morning she’s being told to do a completely different set of reports and now doesn’t know which way is up.
I had to tell her manager (and mine) that the new reports were the wrong ones because they didn’t give us the correct information, and the ones I’d done were the right ones. Manager is not happy because she’s been shown up, but she should know better - she asked me to do the stuff in the first place, she ought to know it was going to be right.
I has Teh Grrrr!
On top of that, I’ve just eaten the most revolting strawberry and vanilla protein bar. I need a strong cup of tea to recover!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work.
Theoretically, today ends this heat wave - rain is promised tomorrow. We shall see.
I just let the office-cleaning guy vacuum the office - you can’t tell that anything was done. Not surprising - he’s half blind and in general not particularly well. But he and his wife (who comes in on alternate days) do an OK job of it - they get the big stuff anyway. And speaking of vacuum - I should do that when I get home. Ziva has been marking her territory with clumps of cat fluff. You’d think she be bald by now with all the stuff over the carpet!!
And thus begins the day. Happy Tuesday!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 71 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 85 and mostly cloudy for the day with a chance of rain. So another drearyish day. I have chikin cookin’ away to make chikin sallit for a friend who has cancer and is currently gettin’ chemo. Chemo is rough to go through and she said she’d like some chikin sallit as she believes she would be able to eat that, so chikin sallit she shall have. I’ll get it made and her sister will by da cave to get it and take it to her later this mornin’. Other than that, no biggie plans for the day except laundry.
Spidey that would be Brook Benton. IMO this is one of the best songs ever.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. I shall also make myself presentable, start laundry, and chop up stuff for chikin sallit. I need to get some aigs on to boil as well.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
Blurf yesterday. I finally ended the two-year saga of The Tooth Pulled By the Incompetent Dentist Who Also Removed Perfectly Good Caps From Abutment Teeth During The Tooth-Pulling So She Could Put On A Temporary Bridge Which Was Just A Plank of Dental Acrylic And Unsurprisingly Broke Within Eighteen Hours, And Which Was Replaced Multiple Times Only To Break The Same Day, And Who Didn’t Understand “I’m Not Coming Back” Until I Called the Insurance Company and Threatened With The Appropriate State Professional Oversight Group.
I have teeth in my lower right jaw and damn it feels good.
More blurf today. I have to get shevelled, then off to work for six hours of meetings, after which I’ll come home hating the world and muttering.
Tomorrow I get my quarterly Botox for migraines. I’m going to tell the doc that if he has any leftover to please give me a couple of shots into the points that make one’s forehead go up. 
I got one of those, and it had a frownie face sticker and told me I was using FAR MORE energy than my neighbours.
I sent it back with the remark that I have allergies and menopausal hot flashes, both of which require the a/c to be turned on as soon as the pollen comes out. I also asked that they STFU about my “energy consumption” until the winter, when I don’t turn the heat on until it’s 55F inside. Let’s see who has the best energy-saving habits THEN!
Happy Toosday!
Not really, but I can pretend it is.
It’s a cool 72 degrees outside, but it’s going up into the 90s later.
I feel icky today, my sinuses hurt and I’m a bit dizzy. Going back to bed sounds like a good plan.
