Back from Leonardtown - I expect it’ll be crazy there tomorrow, but it was nice to walk around tonight. Now I’m going to plop down in the recliner and watch the second season of Orange is the New Black.
No, I’m marinating in Yuengling, the chicken is marinating in Chardonnay. And I just watched Sharknado on Netflix. It was better than Redneck Zombies(Troma mailed it in on that one).
Tempura for dinner. Shrimp, sweet potato, onion, mushroom, yellow squash.
My back is very uncomfortable.
See my earlier post about protecting women and their off spring from saber tooth tigers, rogue elephants and insurance salesmen.
I shall take half a Vicodin and go to sleep.
WTF does my spell checker insist on capitalizing vicodin? Down boy! Down! Perhaps Microsoft is in cahoots with the drug companies. If google joins them, all is lost.
SC also insists that "G"oogle be capitalized.
We are as screwed as my back.
Not mine! His pain threshold is non-existant. I have a pretty high pain threshold. I went to work the day I had surgery.
That said, he will do things that will hurt him and insist it’s ok and he used good body mechanics and the fairies, leprechauns, brownies and sprights helped him, then 20 minutes later he’s lying in bed telling me how bad it hurts.
What he doesn’t have is the capacity to connect cause and effect.
Me, “If you wear your sling to bed your arm will hurt less.”
He wears the sling until he wakes up to pee, eat or drink something. Because I’m not awake to tell him again, he takes it off and wakes up an hour later almost in tears.
This has gone on since two days after his surgery. Which was exactly 1 month ago. He’s not supposed to take the sling off at all, except to do his exercises. Which he doesn’t do. He says the stuff he does that he’s not supposed to do substitute.
He’s not supposed to drive, but he does.
Oh My God! He’s never going back to work! I love him, but he’s ruining my routine.
Now, thank you all for putting up with my rant. I have to go do the dishes while he’s asleep.
We were out most of the day. We called, they said it was us and they’d send a tech out tomorrow. Then, after 8 hours it just came back up. Naw, it wasn’t them. (What’s this button do?)
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis <snerk> 69! <snerk> Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 92 and maybe rain. Or not. It did rain overnight. Matter of fact I woke up to go pee about midnight and a thunderboomer was brewin’. I went out on the back porch and it was rainin’ hard. Yay for that.
Today I need to make a run to Sam’s to get gas for twuck as well as fill up gas cans for the mowers. I also need to go to the grocery sto’. I don’t want to do both at the same time cause I don’t want to leave gas can just sittin’ in twuck whether they be empty or full whilst in the sto’. Thus this shall be a two trips to town day. I shall purtify shortly and go to Sam’s and make a run by Booger King for bizkits. I have two for a dollah bacon, aig, and cheese bizkit coupons.
Good morning! I went to bed relatively early last night - a bit before 10, and Higgs didn’t start acting up till a little after 6, so I got close to 8 hours - yay!
**FCD **is going on a ride with his HOG chapter today. It’s a brain-freeze poker run, which means all of the stops are at places to get ice cream. Yeah, this is one bad-ass motorcycle gang! Their last stop will be at Bert’s, so I’m going to ride over there and meet up, and get ice cream. But no idea what I’m gonna do while they’re gone - it’s cool out, so I may do some weeding. I should also mow the ditch…
We shall see. It’s a nice day and I’m rested - life is good! Happy Saturday!
No irk til 5.30 today (despite a 1 ay em text asking me to do an early shift before that- less than 5 hours sleep for a second day in a row before over 12 hours irk? Hmm… Nope!), so I finally get a chance to do stuff like wash clothes and shop for food which I haven’t got round to all week. The shopping bit does require getting proper clothes on however, as we don’t have jammie friendly shops locally.
Washing is out drying on the line, so I’m hoping the sun stays out- I need to wear some of it for irk. the forecast says possible showers, so finger crossed.
Fingers also crossed for Sari that it’s all nuttin’ and just over cautious docs.
PS. Kittehs still fine, two weeks old on Sunday, and mum’s still doing great with 'em, so just waiting for go ahead for pics (and better pics!)
It looks to be another pretty day. It’s cool out now so I need to open my window - in a bit.
Nothing fun on the agenda today, it will be mostly irk irk irk. I feel like saying screw it and just have a bad paycheck this coming week.
Sean you are right and I’m not putting anything on hold. My mother (I never should have said anything to her) is telling me to stay here. So I’ll just pretend I’m going along with her and if I buy a house and I’m too sick to move into it, well I’ll move in after I’m not too sick to move in. Or rent it out, or let it sit for a while. Oh hell, this might turn out to be nothing and I won’t be sick at all.
I was supposed to see two houses yesterday but the selling agent of the second house never got back to my agent about showing it so I said fuck it then, I mean how hard is it to return a phone call and say it’s okay to go see it? I’m starting to get an attitude about this stuff - like I told the agent she needs to call up the bank who declined my offer and say ‘do you want to sell this house or not? I gave you a decent offer, you are asking too much, the house has been sitting there empty with no power and no water for almost a year, The longer it sits the more it rots and soon it won’t be worth anything. So do you want to sell it or not?’
That is what I would say but I’m not an agent and I don’t get to say anything.
You have some stupid little man (or woman) sitting in an office halfway across the country who doesn’t know jack shit about the area determining what is or isn’t a fair price.
One of my friends had her cable/phone/internet turned off as well Rosie. It totally sucks and she has been fighting with them over this since May because she paid her bill, she has proof she paid her bill, she has faxed this proof to 4 different people at 4 different numbers and ever week or so they cut her off for non-payment. Yesterday she finally got nasty with them. The best part of the conversation was when the cable company kept telling her to go online and how the hell is she supposed to go online when you cut off her internet?
I rode past the sewer plant this morning, it was particularly nasty smelling this morning (almost as bad as Arrrrghkansas!) so I rode faster. Now that Imma done riding hard, I’s gotsta get in the shower & get wet. <snerk> & then get ready for my next death-defying adventure. Oh boy, I can’t wait!
I have been to Sam’s, :eek:Wally*World:eek:, the grocery sto’, and Booger King this mornin’. Go Me! Also there’s butter out softenin’ up and a bag of chawklit chips on the counter. They shall be made into chawklit chip cookies as soon as the butter is softened enough. A certain five year old boy who lives inside the body of a fifty-nine year old man, who shall remain nameless, is oh so excitated over the prospect of homemade chawklit chip cookies.
MOOOOOM you showered before mowin’ the ditch? What kinda fancy-schmancy 'hood do you live in?
Ok, some laundry needs doin’ and since it won’t just wash itself I reckon I best get goin’.
**swampy **- I shower when I get up unless I shower the night before. Otherwise, I can’t stand myself. No worries - I can shower again if I need to. Our well has lots of water!!
