Glad to hear about the “found” money - one of my brothers runs (he also rides a bike), and during his runs/rides, he’s always looking on the ground for money and believe it or not, he finds quite a bit! Sometimes it’s just singles, but he’s also found 10s and 20s and even an occasional 50. LOL I can’t believe someone would not miss that money! He claims that anyone can find money, but heck, I’ve been looking and haven’t found any yet.
It’s been quiet here today. Balloons did ascend this morning, but it looks like the evening glow might get cancelled. Hopefully the weekend will be nice, for a good ending to the Balloon Fiesta!
I got some things done at irk this afternoon that are best done when the place is a ghost town. Stopped off for some of the general’s soup and a couple of egg rolls. Exciting Friday night here.
I wish my fellow MMPers to help me write a gothic novel. Here is the beginning.
We tried it in my senior high English class, and the result was disastrous.
I have high hopes for Rosie, Mom and Swampy.
Somehow, I feel that I shall regret this.
Rich, evil, capitalist, money grubbing, filthy rich Reginald is dying of some horrible malady.
Is Frederick marrying Penelope to get Reginald’s money? Is Penelope as innocent as she appears? Is there a real ghost, or some Hound of the Baskervilles thing? Did Richard poison Reginald?
Does Reginald give his employees dental insurance?
Tune in next post, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel!
Tailgate mac and cheese did sound good. I stopped by the dr this am and they could have worked me in but after waiting about 15 minutes I remembered I had an appt at the admin office to swap out irk phone. I got an iphone5 s for a irk phone.
My ankle is huge and bruised. Not as painful as it looks. Since I did not wait for the dr appt today I made one for Monday. I have a three day weekend too. I also left a message for my hairdresser to see if I can get in to see her on Monday.
I was at irk when I hurt my ankle but would never file a workers comp claim or even file the mishap report as me stumbling over my own feet is my own damn fault.
So I have been lying around with both legs propped on pillows and two ice packs, one on ankle and one on knee. We had my 12th annual Fall Fest last evening and it was a huge success. Impossible to get an accurate count but we figure we had near 700 people. The next thing is the 12th annual Fantasy Fest Shuttle that I manage. We run three buses from 2 annexes continuously to keeps our sailors out of jail. Last year we moved 675 people. I expect the same number or more this year.
Made it through another FY. I am still tidying up EOY paper irk.
I sorta think Columbus Day is a BS holiday but am so glad for it. I need to get caught up on my sleep. I realized on Wed when I had a cop on my ass for thirty miles that I had forgotten to renew my car tag on my BD last month. He apparently didn’t notice as he didn’t pull me over. I went to DMV first thing next day and renewed my little tag sticker. I was not charged a late fee as it was less than 30 days expired. It’s terrible when one can’t pay the bills not because I didn’t have the $ but cause I have no time.
We had one little cool front so far but tis still hot in the Keys. I could do w a little cool weather. Happy Long weekend to those that have em and happy regular weekend to those that don’t.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 64 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 89 for the day. Not too shabby and the humidity is way down for here.
Today is mowage day over to the church house. Thus I need to get my self in gear and get somewhat presentable in a bit. For now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed.
I shall go back and catch up on posts later today. Until then, yays, boos, hugs, kisses, noogies, wedgies, trouts, chitlins, woohoos, how you doin’s as needed all around.
Melatonin is my bestest friend! At least it was last night. I took a benedryl and a sleep pill and I was out for almost 10 hours!! And, boy, did I need it. I’m feeling human again!
We’ve had rain on and off all night. When it stops, I want to go out and walk on the pavers we installed the other day - with luck, I can get them to set and I don’t have to worry about rocking pavers and trip hazards. Yeah, I know, we can always pry them up and put more loose soil under them, but I don’wanna! So here’s hoping…
If the rain lets up, **FCD **wants to go back to Colonial Beach as an attendee rather than a volunteer so he can check out the bike fest. Unfortunately, it looks like the rain is supposed to hang around most of the day. We shall see.
I finished “F” yesterday and started “G” last night. But it’s not like Sue Grafton’s works are particularly deep or difficult. They are, however, much better than most of the crap on TV, so there’s that.
Onward into the day - when my sweetie wakes, I think I’ll take him to breakfast.
I am a little po’d. Ok fine if somebody wants to mow the day before, but there’s these things called email and phone that can be used to let other know. :dubious: So, instead I surprised OYKW with a second brekkie. The first was cereal and milk, and the second was sausage bizkits and cheese grits from Pearly’s. I figured what the heck I’m in town. Needless to say, he was very happy.
flytrap when I’m a little less grrr I’ll take a crack.
FCM I had thunderstorms last night as the game was ending.
Sticky, there will be no money, but on your deathbed you will receive total consciousness. So you got that going for you.[/Carl Spackler]
Butters, I know the feeling of “plenty of money, no time”. I’ve had to buy 2 weeks worth of clothing before because the washer died and there aren’t 24 hour repairmen around here. And Fantasy Fest looks fun.
No irk this weekend- you can tell it’s quiet when the boss sends his wife to pay the wages. No one complains to her, as she’s nice, and has nothing to do with the scheduling.
Today appears to be autumnnal nesting day- I just took one of the housemates to Ikea to get a wardrobe, and I’m finally giving up on the room moving, and trying to move the bookshelf back in my room. I’d like to get a new curtain as well, and get the place looking a bit nicer for winter. I don’t think I can properly redecorate though, room paint’s probably toxic to axolotls, and there’s nowhere I can move the tank to. It’s probably some hibernatory instinct kicking in
OAOASO came over yesterday, my bed is put together and the mattress came yesterday. Then I realized I don’t have any sheets or pillows. I have two sets of full sheets, no queen size. He tried to fix the furnace, the pilot light is out and he didn’t know how to light it. I have somebody coming out Monday to light it. I don’t blame him for being leery of lighting it.
Sah-son decided he is taking the living room as his bedroom. His bed is not together yet, OAOASO offered to help him put it together but Sah-son wants to do it later. He worked hard yesterday carrying in tons of boxes and doing other stuff around here.
I got my little tool kit yesterday and it was missing the hammer. I need a hammer to put my dresser and night stands together so that will get done later this week.
Sah-dog is finally getting acclimated to the house and yard. I feel so sorry for him being mostly blind and in a new environment. Especially one that keeps changing as boxes and things are moved around. Now I need to get a fence put in between me and the neighbor. It’s only been four days and we are already tired of taking him out on a leash. He’s figured out the stairs now and while he still hesitates a bit he’ll go down them on his own.
We are going back to my mothers today. I don’t want to but Sah-son does and I need to get more things from there anyway. I ordered a game for him and it is supposed to be delivered today. I guess we’ll spend the night and I hope it’s not rainy tomorrow so I can bring some big things back with me.
It’s only a little after 10 and I already feel like I need a nap.
I know “I’m a little teapot” but don’t know “I am a little po’d”; can you sing it for us?
Rainy Sattidy; original plans for a nice (outdoor) day have been cxl’d. Mebbe a movie instead???
