Hopefully I shall feel up to it if it is on, because I can’t afford to turn down the best shift I’ve had in weeks. Do feel free to send some rain to my area. We really need it. Blurf and then some. Lower digestive tract disturbance prohibits leaving the mini-cave today (must stay near plumbing), and DH is getting some really ugly bureaucratic yanking-around. Just HOW is one supposed to file paperwork before a deadline one was not informed even existed? And just how are we supposed to survive without that living allowance benefit he was denied because of said super-secret deadline? ---

I hope your digestive system will be back to normal soon, **Seanette.** Last week, my other conductor and I were riding home together. In the subway car, we played I Spy and an alphabet game where we had a conversation where each sentence began with the next letter of the alphabet. Then we invented a game I’d call Conductor Charades, where my conductor would imitate a famous conductor and I’d have to guess who it was. Then we waited for the bus and did stupid dances while waiting. Then when we got on the bus, we sang songs from _The Mikado_ and conducted along to them. The people around us must’ve thought we were lunatics who escaped from an asylum. Or musicians. 😛 After all that, I don’t think I really have the right to complain about annoying people on the bus anymore. 🙂 ---

Just got home. I had to go to breakfast; didn’t want to but given how I didn’t have my car there I was trapped. Ordered snowmegdon food, 3 slices about 1½" high each. ---

I am so pissed at my husband today. Its way too long of a story to go in to. I just hope he is realizes he better stay far away from me if he knows what is good for him. ---

No **Apes** , it LIIIIIVES. The snow has stopped thank you very much. Got probably 4 inches (that’s what she said). Going to yoga then dinner. Dinner venue has changed from pizza place to Chinese place. I was looking forward to pizza, but I can easily do egg rolls and barbeque pork flied lice. ---

Whatever he did, I hope he apologizes soon. Can’t have you upset because “if momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” ---

Howdy Y’all! I’ve actually been somewhat productive today. We went to town and to :eek: Wally\*World. :eek: I’ve iced the cake, baked the dressin’, squish casserole, and sweet N.O.T. souffle. I’ve also cooked the butter beans. The turkey boob is roastin’ away. It should be done in a couple of hours. I shall let it rest (apparently roastin’ is very tiresome for a turkey boob) a bit and then slice it up. Tomorrow will be just heat everything up, bake the rolls and make the gravy. I may go ahead and make the gravy this evenin’ though. It’s also easy to heat up. Oh and I washed and dried sheets and put 'em back on the bed. Go Me! ---

Back from a productive jaunt. We had breakfast at Bert’s, then drove to Arundel Mills and walked the mall. I saw some suitcases I liked in the Samsonite store, but since I’m not in any hurry, I just wrote down the numbers so I could shop on line. And that was successful - I’m getting two 25" bags delivered for about $100 less than it would have been to buy them at the mall today. And they’re **RED**!!! 😃 We also got a new mattress pad, sheets for the camper mattresses, and a couple of big towels for \*\*FCD \*\*for when he swims at the gym. We stopped on the way home to get some fresh buns for the pulled poke we’re going to have for supper. Higgs escaped from the yard, so tomorrow we’ll have to figure out where she got out and block her way. Stoopit dog. My mom and sisters returned safely from their cruise, altho my BIL narrowly escaped being tossed overboard. He can be such an ass, and apparently he was in rare form. Next weekend is the motorcycle show in Timonium, so we’re going to look at bikes and stuff, and go see my mom while we’re in the area, so’s I can give her the knitting I’ve amassed. And on top of it all, our last W2s came in the mail today. I’ll do our taxes and we’ll find out if my estimates were good enough to get us a refund instead of having to pay more. My goal is to be within $100, but our income has varied so widely in the last few years, all I can do is guess and hope. We shall see. Exciting, huh? 😃 ---

Perhaps he could PM me, and I could explain all about how to say, “It is my fault, Dear, and I am sorry.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-monday-somewhere-a-very-early-mmp/679825.md?page=13) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-monday-somewhere-a-very-early-mmp/679825.md?page=15)
