Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. I dreamed I had a pet possum last night.:dubious:
I made it to the office and I’m about to start caffeinating. I’m pretty sure I’ve got some allergies tormenting me. I don’t feel sick, but my nose is alternately stuffed up or running like a faucet. Then we’ve got the watery eyes… Always something.
Today is my daughter’s due date. I’m pretty sure it’s not the day. Which is good in one respect, since I won’t be going down there till the day after tomorrow. But I do feel sorry for her - the last few weeks off preggodom are taxing.
Good morning, I guess, and Happy Thursday.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 45 Amurrkin out and N.O.S. with a predicted high of 79 and N.O.S. for the day. Not much on the agenda today which is fine by me. I do need to take care of some errands so I shall go about the public for a bit. Grilled poke chops shall be supped upon along with green beans and scalloped N.O.T. Tasty and easy to put together.
Butters sorry about the new hire takin’ off like that. Weird. I have always had trouble with fingerprints and always had to make several trips before a decent set was (were?) made for irk purposes. Had to do them at the sheriff’s office and even made jokes about it all with the person doin’ the fingerprints.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then I shall purtify bein’ as I am to be about the public.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Happy Thorsday!
It’s cloudy outside, supposed to rain, but also get up to 75 degrees.
Damn cat woke me at 6aam walking around meowing his fool head off.
Then I caught him smacking at the dog, but the dog went on snoring. He must be really tired to ignore the cat.
I got a decent night’s sleep, but I have a huge blurf this morning.
Yesterday I did the nasty job of cleaning out the dishwasher filter.
It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Today, I don’t know what I am doing. Still looking for more irk.
My energy is scattered right now, and I hate being this way.
Sometime today I have to get in touch with my two best friends.
One has been sick and isn’t answering the phone. She has problem with her phones anyway, landline and cell. Her house is really old and has the old knob and tube wiring in it. Whenever she gets close to certain walls her phones will cut out. We think it is the wiring, but who knows.
My other friend is falling apart, husband has been cheating on her, and they are heading for a divorce. She was trying to hold off for a bit to get her finances together, but a big blowup is coming.
She sent me a message yesterday saying if something happens to her, don’t let him get away with it.
I don’t know if she was being dramatic or not. She’s been hard to get ahold of lately too.
Happy Thursday. Spring is poking out its head. It’s 8am, and sunny, and 55. Rain though this weekend and possibly the S word. I have a big project at work (although totally manageable), and my vacation is next month and I can’t find my vacation credit card. It’s somewhere, but WHERE? Needless to say I’m a nervous wreck.
Laundry, visitation, and then irk. But on the good side I have leftover stuffed peppers for dinner.
Morning (damn near afternoon all). Got up at 0800, just late enough to miss the garbage truck (I never know what time it is coming, it can be from 7am to 4 pm it seems). That seems to set the tone for the day, always a step behind.
Did clean up the kitchen some and put some other stuff away, but except for soccer practice tonight nothing critical on the agenda.
74F out. Hopefully it’s hear to stay.
sari, hugs for your friends. Life is not all it’s cracked up to be; sometimes it’s damn hard. Having a friend like you will help them.
wet one, vacation credit card? You hold back one special credit card just for vacation? Or am I reading this wrong?
I erranded this mornin’ and have been in sloth mode since then. ‘Tis nice out so windows are open in da cave. The annual pine tree orgy has subsided. YAY! The makin’ of evenin’ sup is the only other item on the agenda today.
ETA: Metal Mouse I put my trash can out on Sunday night for Moanday pickup cause one never knows when they might show up. Has been as early as seven a.m. and as late as around five p.m.
sari hugs to you and your friends. I hope it all works out.
WetOne go ahead and report the card lost and order a new one. You should have plenty of time to get it (or you can pay a little extra to get it expressed I imagine).
Raining here. I need to bring the dog food in from the car. 'Beamer sounds like he’s coughing up both lungs. So far the doctors office says,“keep him at home and hydrated”, but I’m starting to get worried. It doesn’t sound good at all.
The house was 59 degrees this morning, so I gave up and turned on the heater again. &^%#$ weather.
Didn’t make my roast chikky last night, so that shall be what happens tonight. Happy Thorsday all!
**FCD **is on The List. Not the same as THE LIST but still… He told me the dog groomer is available all day Thursday and nail clipping is a walk-in. Nope - she’a available all day Friday. She’s off on Thursday. So I took off early today for no reason. Oh well…
Daughter is still preggo. I can’t tell if I’m dealing with allergies or a cold - I may have to wear a mask around the baby. We shall see.
Dunno what I’ll do for supper. There are no more leftovers and, really, not much in the pantry. And I don’t feel like going anywhere. It may be a bowl-of-cereal night.
Very, very windy hereabouts. All the trees that have the teensy white-petals in bloom are losing them at a rapid rate. It’s almost like snow, but not cold and wet and back-breaking! 
I’ve got the house open - I won’t leave the windows open all night, but I will open them when I leave in the morning.
One more work day, then time to pack and go…
We have supped. ‘Twas good if’n I do say so myself. In other news that makes me unhappy, oak and pee-kahn trees are doin’ there thing now so I shall be a sneezey, drippy mess for a few weeks. ICK!
Sari hope all is well with your friends.
WetOne what Sunny said. That way you will find the current card immediately after you get the replacement card. What? Doesn’t it work that way for everybody? No? Just me?
{{{Mooooom}}}
doggio, methinks that may have just been Gordie playing possum. 
butters, Ne;son becomes a little butthead sometimes too, except I’m in Scooter’s place when he does.
swampy, I feel your pain. One of the lovely things about my apartment complex is the trees. It’s also the most miserable in the spring and fall with a half dozen pines and oaks just outside my door.
Yhe irkweek is winding down. Tonight i plan another attempt to troubleshoot printing on the new machine. I predict much cursing.
I can never visit Jawga in the spring or early fall. I wind up sick every time. Major allergies up the.
Tahred. The saga continues with new??? Hire. She came to irk today for 3 1/2 hours then said she was not feeling well. She told me she absolutely will not go back to HR again for fingerprints. I told her she must or else she can’t irk. We shall see. On the good news front my new Sat hire is all ready to start working and she is gonna be my Sat only person. She is an accountant regular workdays. The clerk on maternity leave said when her hubby is home she will help out. I think she is already aggravated with lack of sleep. cute baby though.
Goodnight all. **Rosie’s sig. **
Forgot but hubby has a man cold. Pity me.
Soccer practice went well, the girls are improving and getting to chase the ball less and play their position more. Showed them my yearbook picture of me on the High School soccer team, to their great glee.
Need to make a braunsweiger run up to Tennessee tomorrow; beats heck out of going 250+ miles to find my liver sausage fix (this one is only 30 miles). Get about 5-6 weeks supplies and that’ll get me close to vacation time.
swampy, easy on the allergies; one of my 9 year old soccer stars has had to withdraw because the local stuff has him down. And I usually have the garbage out Wednesday night, but I felt lazy and figured “I’ll get it outside first thing in the morning”. Oh well, It’ll just be extra full next Thorsday.
butters, luck with the new hires.
Rye bread is out of the freezer and BLT’s are on the menu for tomorrow…Friday the 13th!!!
Worked, came home. Watching playoff hockey
No ,it was a possum. It kept following me around. Gordie ignored it.
Butters, Alex Catt is the instigator. She licks Gordie’s feet, which drives him crazy.
Wuzzes.
Wennies.
Perfume from cow orkers around me makes my nose bleed, and I still come to work.
I finally got the printer to print. It only took an hour on tech support. :rolleyes:
We had our catfish toss at irk today. I managed 20’2" with a 2.5 lb catfish, which puts me in the drawing fora pair of tickets to the Saturday playoff game. doggio, should my name be drawn, wanna drive to Nashville?
I wish. But I’m shorthanded again after this week. 
I’ve always found that the surest method of finding a lost object is to acquire its replacement.
Still dearly loathing the Hades Annex (for those who don’t know, that’s my place of irk). Extra-strength dumbass from the callers lately. When did having more than one neuron operating at a time become something to be shunned as hard as callers and co-irkers do recently?
Two good days of bike weather (basically good) in a row and another on tap for tomorrow. Next week? More snow. :smack:
