Just gotta get thru today - flying south tomorrow!
Happy Firday!!! 
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 54 and dark out but TWPTB say clear with a predicted high of 82 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. No real big plans today. I shall go to Dawson to check on Miss Becky and bring her a pimento cheese sammich. She is not eatin’ a whole lot as of late which makes me wonder if she’s just tired and ready to go. A sad thing to think about but could be the reality here. We shall sup upon cubed steak 'n gravy, butterbeans, squishes, and smashed N.O.T. Think I’ll even make some cornbread. YUM!
doggie was it an Awesome Possum?
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, if’n I am to go out amongst the public I suppose I should purtify.
Happy Firday Y’all!
I found my credit card. I had tucked it inside my passport folder. I have no idea why I did that.
TGIF. No, really. it’s been a loooong week, and I found out last night via e-mail that my counterpart at the other library was laid off. Technically her position has been eliminated. I get to pick up her work, and supervise the part-time liberry assistant. I can deal with that.
Today is Firday the 13th, but you can’t scare me. I own a black kitteh and a chestnut mare…
Up, caffeinated ,and sheveled. Off today. Laundry today and trivia tonight. 
Alex Catt was singing a song at 0600 this morning: “My food bowl is only 99% full, and I shall starve!”
He was a cool little guy.
I am all purtified and dressed to go about the public. I am sure you all wanted to know this.
doggie how sweet! Alex Catt sang you the song of her people.
Whew - what a morning!! I’ve gotten a lot done and I’ve got another project that Tim want me to at least get started before I go. I need to remember to check everything back into the vault before I go. Note to self…
My sister messaged me that our family friend died this morning. She was truly a sweet lady and I ache for her husband and daughter. But I’m glad she’s no longer in pain. I’m surprised how fast it all was, and she was at home with her family - far better than at a hospital to my mind. RIP Jeanette…
And Gordie was violently warning the neighbors about the menace of The Invisible Mole People at 0700.:smack:
{{{{Jenette and family}}}}
FCM, my condolences to your friend and her family.
wet one, why are things we lose always in the last place we look? I was missing my car keys (used the spare set) for two weeks, finally found them directly underneath my computer-office chair, which of course was the last place I looked…anyway, congrats on finding it.
I am now officially going to China in June!!! Just got confirmation that the travel agency has hit the minimum numbers needed to run the tour so I good to go! That is, once I’ve gotten to Houston, TX for my Visa ($), bought my international airline ticket ($$), and paid the balance of my tour cost ($$$). Still, for a 65th Birthday present to myself and fulfilling a long-held dream, I think it is worth it.
Shopping complete, need to go out and mow the lawn again prior to the predicted tunder-boomers and rainstorm predicted for tomorrow. Then boys soccer practice and the work-week (such as it is) will be done.
**MetalMouse **- Hope the Prez doesn’t put a tariff on your return trip… 
Metalmouse, if you want stuff to not be in the last place to look, you have to keep on looking for it after you found it. Duh.
Should be finishing up skool stuff; holidays are over on Monday, but I’ve sort of run out of steam. Nothing’s actually due in the first week back anyway, it’s the second that loads of stuff is due, and we’re not going to get much more work next week, but still. I need someone to come motivate/shout at me and make me do it, 'cos I don’t wanna…
Happy Firday!
The sun is shining and the windows are open.
It’s noisy outside and Ripple can’t help looking out the window and growling at everything.
Sick friend is feeling better, cheated on friend was livid to discover her cheating spouse has not paid the mortgage for nine months.
I am exhausted and think I will take a break from job hunting today.
I hope to find time to sit outside for a bit.
I forgot to take shrimp out of the freezer for tonight, so dinner will probably be chicken.
{{{FCM and friend}}}
MetalMouse, the reason you find lost things in the last place you look is because once you find them you stop looking. Or at least I hope you would, since there is not much sense in continuing to look for something you already found, unless you want to get a head start on looking for them for the next time you lose them
Very Funny SSA! :mad:
They send me a letter about my retirement benefits and it is printed in 6pt font.
{{{MOOOOOOM and Friend and Friend’s Family}}}
I have a strong feelin’ it won’t be long for Miss Becky. JDD and sis are feelin’ the same way. When I saw her today she did look like my mom did this time last year just before she died. 
Nuts young lady, have you finished your school work yet? No? Well, just as I thought then! March yourself right in there and get started! The sooner you get started the sooner you finish! I heard you mumble at me under your breath! It won’t do you any good! Stop making that face at me! You think I don’t know you made that face but I know! One of these days your face will freeze with that look. Now march, young lady and not a peep until all your work is done! Don’t stomp your foot at me!
Howzzat?
sari :eek:
swampy sorry to hear about Miss Becky.
Moommm condolences about your family friend.
metal mouse congrats on the China trip. In all sincerity, I hope that relations between our countries hold up well enough so that you can go.
Wet One That location does make some sense. Passport is needed for travel and that credit card is for travel. Voilà!
Rainy and cold here still. I am SHOCKED, shocked I tell you.
Swampy, I know what you mean. My mother now looks like she has been sent by central casting for the part of a crone. Either that, or she escaped from a ‘Bodies’ tour.
I guess having a hyperactive thyroid nodule does that.
Home. Higgs has had her nails trimmed, but the way she howls, you’d have thought they were extracting her spleen thru her nose!
But she’s been fed, and I’m trying to decide what to have for supper. I need to clean the critter fountain, tidy the guest bathroom, write a note for the critter sitter, and pack. I’ve printed out my boarding pass, so there’s that.
I’m looking forward to the babby but I do hate flying. When I was young, it was a fun adventure. Now it’s just a pain… Oh well.
We have supped. Instead of corn bread I did canned bizkits. Don’t judge! They’re good especially when one spoons gravy on top of 'em. Chill mode ensues.
sari sorry about your friend and the mortgage. My sis went through the same thing with her now ex. The house went into foreclosure and that’s how she found out. No worries for her, however, as she has mom’s house which was goin’ to be hers anyway. Hope your friend can get all this straightened out.
MetalMouse yay for the China trip! I have a feelin’ tourism won’t be affected. China likes tourist who come and spend money I’m sure.
Tomorrow we are goin’ to help JDD and Partner to clean up the yahd at JDD’s mom’s house in large and in charge Parrott, Jawja. Afterwards we shall dine at the good Mexican restaurant in large and in charge Dawson, Jawja and go see Miss Becky since that’s where she is. In Dawson that is. She’s in a nursin’ home in Dawson, not the Mexican restaurant. I felt that needed clarification.
Two nights in a row, supper has been cereal. When **FCD **picks me up at the airport tomorrow, we’re going to meet our daughter and SIL for supper - I hope she doesn’t pick a cereal restaurant!
I need to leave by 10:30, so that’ll give me a few hours to get stuff done in the morning. I supposed I should do a few things tonight - like getting my suitcase from the basement. I can pack tonight, too, except for toiletries.
Did I mention that my inlaws watch Fox News… constantly… <headdesk>
Flying is a pain in the ASS. There Mmmoooooo I said it for you.
I had a day from Hell. New lady was due but I just did not feel like dealing with her crazy ass so I insisted she not come in today. I just have to break it to her gently that this is not going to work. Now skeddadle and forget this job.
Hubby saw the Nurse and scored antibiotic for his Man Cold. I guess it’s bronchitis.
I am exhausted. The reason I am the Manager is so I don’t deal with the customers. One more week bascially alone and hopefully only two more Saturday’s.
I sold some tickets for the family of the sailor who committed suicide a while back. I only met the Dad and two brothers but wanted to cry. I am sure they were so proud of him cause the brothers looked like er thugs. Why?
mooom. Safe travels and I want to see a pic as soon as you can. How is FCDDAD? Also condolences on family friend.
**Swampy **. You are a good man. I hope Mrs. Becky doesn’t linger.
So Tahred and FOX NEWS fucking sucks. I am on a roll. Cursing like a sailor.
**FCD **said his father has trouble chewing - likely because of all the bone fractures. I’ll see for myself tomorrow night.
And yes, Butters, flying is a pain. I’m hoping against hope that the flight isn’t full so I won’t have anyone crammed in next to me. At least it’s a short flight - 2:20, according to the schedule.
crap - just checked - the flight is sold out. Dammit.
