I GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE-A Festivus Eve MMP

Applied for unemployment insurance this morning, but I didn’t mention that I sometimes get money from my sheet music sales online. And I can be severely penalized if they catch me putting “misinformation” on my form. I filled out the form already though. I think maybe I should go in the office on Monday and tell them about my online activities.

Well, at least I got the form filled out, so there’s one thing less I have to do.

And now back to music arranging.

Doggio Sah-dog has never chased a laser pointer, even in his younger days. He has never been a playful dog and neither was the mastiff I had when he was a pup.
I remember one time I threw a tennis ball for my mastiff. He watched me and watched the ball fly. I told him to go get it and he looked up at me and said you threw it, you go get it

Honestly I don’t know what I will do if I ever have a normal dog. I am used to dogs that aren’t playful, don’t demand a lot of attention, and aren’t excitable.

Staying home sounds good though but my mother wants her whole family there. I don’t know what she is thinking.

blurf.

But only a little. Because this morning started 5 days of Doctor Who on BBC America!

Made oatmeal fro breakfast sans the actual oatmeal. :smack: Cranberry cinnamon milk is a nutrious breakfast, right?:dubious:

Get a senior beagle. Tjhey like to spend long periods of time in an inert state.:smiley:

I bought a packet of Jammy Dodgers for the occasion. Allons-y!

Lunch has been ingested and 5 lap robes are in the washer being de-haired. Actually, the dryer will do a better job of getting the dog and cat hair off of them. Then I’ll bag 'em up to be delivered tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I’ve got another one started - I’ve got enough scraps to make a multi-colored chevron style. I think I’ll spend the afternoon with Netflix.

Looks like today will be a short day at irk. Then it’s off to Christmas eve festivities.

And that yearly temptation that when Hymn 437 “Joy to the World” is announced to belt out

Jeremiah was a bullfrog

I’d much rather sing “The Hallelujah Chorus” with a couple hundred random strangers in a big music hall. I used to do that every year. I haven’t in ages

I’ve got a stocking full of coal for a merchant.

I ordered something via Amazon for DH two weeks ago. It was only availble from a Marketplace vendor, but the shipping was free. They promptly fire off a “Your order has shipped” message, but when I looked up the tracking, it’s been sitting somewhere for three days. Apparently, “shipped” means “We printed the UPS label, but can’t be bothered to put your thing in a box and give it to the UPS guy, so you won’t see it until probably New Year’s Eve.”

Now, my item is available for sale by Amazon itself, so I could have ordered it YESTERDAY and had it here today.

Work-wise, it’s dead, dead, dead, but someone has to be on hand in case anything goes boink.

I think I’m officially losing it. I took Higgs to get her nails trimmed (forgot I was supposed to do that) and when I got home, I opened the garage door, followed the dog in and let her in the house, and was confused because FCD’s keys were hanging on the hook. Then I heard a gawd-awful noise downstairs and noticed a light under the basement door.

Yep. He was home. I walked right past the car and it didn’t register. I’ve lost it.

Oh the other hand - MY SWEETIE’S HOME!!! And he got his first paycheck (henceforth, it’ll be direct deposit) but we can’t deposit it till Firday. No biggie - I wasn’t expecting him to get it till Monday since he wasn’t planning to go to work on Firday. So huzzah!

So what was the horrible noise?

Well, this year seems a bad year to sing one of my favorite Christmas carols, but:

Police! Navy dude.
Police! Navy dude.
Pros a sparrow and he fleeced my dad.

I wanna wish you a merry Christmas

:smiley:

**gotti **- he was doing something with fiberglass for his motorcycle - grinding or sanding or something. The only noise I really pay attention to down there would be a blood-curdling scream, because I’m nice, dammit! :smiley:

**Zyan **- that’s pretty bad. Which means it’s perfect for the MMP!!

At my mothers
Wasn’t here 15 minutes and we had words.

I knew I should have stayed home.

Oh
and my uncle died yesterday.
I’m not very upset because I wasn’t close to him but I am close to my aunt so I feel sad for her.

I just saw him Saturday and he looked bad.
My mother wants us to stay until Sunday so we can go to the viewing together.

Not gonna happen.

Gotta love California at Christmastime. Our mailman just came by, and he’s wearing a hoodie and board shorts.

I think it’s time to knit.

MWAH!

Survived another Christmas.

{{{{sari}}}}} And sorry for your Aunt

The day ain’t over, yet.
:dubious:
