I Got Nuttin’… The Worst Ever MMP

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Really. I got nuttin’ here. There’s just not that much goin’ on in my life right now. I mean, thing’s are pretty good on the home and work fronts right now. The love life’s going good. Pretty much everybody I want to like me likes me. Even the weather’s been pretty ok as of late. I’m not behind on any bills. I got money in the bank. Life’s just pretty good overall right now. Yeah, if I just wanted to, I could hunt up some drama, but why go lookin’ for it, right? I seem to have posted about all my recent weirdnesses during each week’s MMP, so I ain’t even got that. I don’t even have a cat I can let walk across the keyboard for y’alls entertainment. Hmmm… maybe I could close my eyes and type some random stuff. Ok, here goes…

My eyes are closed and I’m typing away. How many errors will I make? I don’t even know where most of the punctuation stuff is on my keyboard. I usually look, but instead I’m being brave and not looking. How do we know you’re not cheating, you ask? Well, you don’t. You;ll just have to trust me. Besides would I lie to y’all> Imean really> That’s right. I wouldn’t. Glad we cleared that all up.

Ok, now I’m typing with my eyes open. Does it look any better than what I did with my eyes closed?

I know! Everybody should do their first post with their eyes closed. Wouldn’t that be fun? C’mon!

Told y’all this was a bad MMP.

Wpp

Woohoo! I am first!

Alright, I’m up for a post with my eyes closed. Right now, in fact, my eyes are closed. I’m not going to fix things. I might look back to make sure I haven’t accidentally confessed to murder or insulted someone’s mother… but even then I’d probably leave it. I’m generally not too bad with the whole blind typing thing. I find myself wondering if this will be an exception.

Anyway, I’ve also got nothin’. Which probably explains why I’m passing the time typing contentless posts on the internet without looking at my keyboard. Hrm… I think I typed ‘without’ wrong then. I’ll find out soon. And…

Eyes open! Hey, cool, that wasn’t so bad. I didn’t even mess up ‘without’ when I thought I did. Perhaps there are a few too many dots in that ellipsis there. Perhaps. Anyway, that’s my effort.

And a fine effort it is Dinaroozie. Welcome to the MMP! This is the place where you ramble on about anything and nobody cares cause we’re doin’ the same thing. I’ll leave it to others to nickname you and such. As for me, I’m caffienating at present.

Ah no, sorry but I’m not playin’. Welcome, Dina!

This has been a pretty crummy month for my Christmas card list, not that I really send cards out but anyway.

Jan 1st, Gramps’ sister died. Gramps and Grandma and Mom and my cousin had been visiting her the day before, after getting a call on the 30th. Grandma is whining that Gramps is taking it badly. Mom recently told her “how would you take it if (your little sister) died? You wouldn’t be a ball either!”

Two weeks ago, Victori, a friend of my parents for over 20 years, neighbor of Mom’s for the last 5, and my high school art teacher’s widow, died.

Last week, a cousin of Dad’s on his mother’s side who’d been in the hospice for ten years due to very advanced alzheimer’s (sharing a room with her daughter who was in a car accident for the last five) died.

And two days later “the heir”, Dad’s eldest cousin on his dad’s side, died.

I’m afraid to call Mom! Every time I call her, somebody else has died!

Nuthin’? I’ve got plenty of that! In fact, I’ve got so much nuthin’ it’s creating a great gaping hole.

'im indoors went off to sunny Wigan last night and will be starting his new contract today so that’s good. The cats were very unhappy about not being able to sleep on the bed last night after the previous day’s weeing incident. In the end Shadow went off outside to sulk and I eventually let Ophelia into the bedroom because she was scratching on the door and miaowing.

This morning I had to throw them both out of the room when I left for work (and left it with the door shut), she was sitting outside the closed door looking at me quite pitifully. She just wants to make me feel guilty but it won’t work - tonight my duvet will be safe, and dry!

Oh, and welcome Droozie, don’t worry about the rest of 'em, they’re all barking…

Good Morning. Well, it isn’t really morning here yet, it’s 2:00 AM. I can’t sleep.

Swampy, very good typing with your eyes closed. I won’t even try. I’m bad enough with them open.
Glad to hear your life is cruisin’.

Speaking of cruisin’, we just decided, yesterday, to book a last minute cruise. Well it’s for April, but in cruise language it’s last minute. We’re going to do a round trip LA to Hawaii. It’s 15 days. I have to go shopping!
Now, all we have to do, is find someone to replace us as cat staff.

Hubby stayed home from work yesterday, because he has a cold. Of course, as soon as 6:00 AM came and went, he was fine. :rolleyes: Sometimes I think I’m raising another child.

So, Happy Monday all. I’m going to bed and try again.

OK, just tohumor the old fart, I’ll do the eyes closed thing. But just this far and no more. Enuff is enuff.

Not bad - just missed one space - I do that when my fingers are flying.

I’ve got to share my weird news here because, well, where else??

If you recall, a month ago, I posted about my very first boyfriend whose wife had just died of cancer. We had been IMing fairly regularly over the last few years, so when he wasn’t logging on, I was getting a wee bit concerned. I was about to send him an email to make sure things were OK.

Last night, he finally appeared and we chatted a bit. I asked how he was. He responded: “Married” :eek: :eek: :eek:

No, he wasn’t joking. He got married. About 2 weeks after he buried his wife. To someone he and his wife had known about a year or so. Married.

I’m trying really hard not to be judgemental or snarky. But DAYUM!!! And it’s not like his late wife was on life support for years so he was hardly married. She was still semi-functional into early December. But in 2 weeks, he runs off to Vegas with Mrs. #4. :eek:

No doubt in my mind, tho, that I was lucky this one got away.

In other news, it’s quite, um, brisk here! Single-digit wind chills and gusty winds. In an hour or so, I’ll go shower and dress, then head out to my Dr appt. No food or drink till then. They’ll draw blood to figger out if my cholesterol meds are working. Then Dr. S. will poke and prod and talk to me about how badly I’ve fallen apart since we last talked. Then I’ll go to work and deal with idiot stupidhead - with luck, this’ll be the last week I’ll have to work with him. I’ve already volunteered for a new assignment.

Oh yeah - welcome, D’roozie!! The detritus of your thought processes will find a happy home here. :smiley:

And that’s all I’m gonna say. For now.

How about I just take my glasses off - won’t that work?! OK, eyes closed now. I think the key to typing with the eyes closed is to keep your fingers moving so that they don’t have the chance to mess up! LOL

Enough of that! Swampy, I’m glad that you are doing so well, but please don’t ask me to type with my eyes closed again. :wink: I’m caffeinating still too, and really really don’t want to go outside, because my commute involves waiting for buses outside. Unfortunately, the temp here this morning is down in the teens, and the wind is gusting up in the 20s, so wind chill is down near zero. :frowning: It must be done, though.

Happy MM all. :slight_smile:

I think I’m downish or sumthin’.

Temps are up. Driving today was fine. So, me being me, I should be wanting to grab the car and go places and see Stuff.

Instead, between Lilbro wanting to come over to visit with Mom and do “Switzerland in seven days” (godamnit man, if you want that pay a godamn tour operator and don’t mess with my life or with your slow-walking mother), the mess at Middlebro’s, the string of deaths and trying to get some information on “how to get a doctor in Switzerland”, I just want to crawl back to my apartment and stay there all day not talking to anybody. Every time I speak with someone they have another bit of bad news. Someone stop the world, I want out!

Hugs will be 'preciated.

11

Nava, the solution is surely that you grab the car and go out to see stuff, that way you won’t have to talk to anyone and you won’t get any bad news.

{{{{{Nava}}}}}

I’m bored and it’s not even lunchtime yet.

12

{{{Nava}}} I second what BooFae said. Grab a car, go out and see some sites. If nuttin’ else it’ll take your mind off all the bad stuff as of late for a while. Here’s hoping it’s better soon.

It’s 26 degrees Amurrkin outside this morning. I had to get out the heavy jacket. :eek: The glaciers are comin’! Actually I’m kind of glad for the cold cause maybe it’ll kill off some of the nasty bugs so they won’t be so bad this summer. I’m thinkin’ especially the skeeters. I hates skeeters.

{{{ Hugs for Nava }}}

Good morning, all.
I start the new job today. I had training last week and it went very well. I’m working 1:00 to 9:00 every day this week.
The uniform pants they gave me were way too freaking long, so I had dropped them at the dry cleaners to be shortened, and I need to pick them up this morning. I’m nervous and excited all at once. I feel like a little kid on the first day of school.
Much like FCM’s first boyfriend, I’m moving on with my life. The relationship between my husband and me has been over for at least 2 or 3 years - no closeness, no talking like spouses do, just lots of bitterness and arguing and sniping at each other. Now that we’ve realized it’s over and we need to part, a lot of the tension is gone.
Oh, and I’ve been seeing someone for a few weeks. He makes me very happy.

It’s like I have a whole new life.

14

Hugs just for Nava. Well, not really just for her, but you know what I mean. Sorry about all those family deaths; that’s sad. I agree you should force yourself to go out. There are lots of nice things to see in your neighborhood, aren’t there. Also, don’t you need to go shopping?

Yay for BibKitty and new jobs and new lives!!! Glad to hear you sound all cheerful.

Wow, FCM, that’s big news from the old BF. Definitely dodged a bullet there long ago.

Not much here other than the usual Monday getting ready for work ritual. Oatmeal’s in the microwave, I’ve decided what I’m wearing, all my stuff is in one place (I think), don’t have to worry about lunch because we’re getting a box lunch during our working lunch (the working part’s not a thrill, but it’s free food and the lunches are actually good).

Hi D’roozie! I see no one has informed you that everyone gets a nickname. Oh, and love offerings of chocolate are to be directed to FCM. But perhaps you’re already aware of this.

Off to eat oatmeal.

Good luck with the new job and new friend BibKitty. I hope both are what you’re lookin’ for.

Picu I forgot to say earlier, yay for the cruise! Fifteen days? Don’t know if I’d want one that long but have fun! Oh and yes, you do need a new wardrobe. One must be fashionable on a cruise, after all.

FCM ummm… yep… you definitely dodged a bullet there. Sheesh!

16

{{{Nava}}} - hang in there, sweetie!

Yay, BibKitty!!

Air kisses to everyone else, just because.

And now I’m off to see the vampire… er… doctor. No, I don’t like having blood drawn. Why do you ask.

17

Psst, FCM, go read your LJ Friends page. Shhh!

Two inches of snow on the ground met me this morning at the VunderLair in Mayberry; not a lick of snow to be seen when I got to work. A distance of 50 miles…

I was born with nothin’, and I have most of it left.
