At long last, I dusted. :eek: I even disassembled and cleaned the dining room chandelier - it was kinda fuzzy around the light bulbs. Now it’s beeyooteefull!! I also de-fuzzed the kitchen ceiling fan. And I used Pledge when I dusted. Maybe I’m coming down with something??? :eek:
I need to shed my grungy sweats and dress appropriately to be seen in public. I’ve got to pick up a prescription at CVS and I want to get eggs. Maybe I’ll drive thru and get a burger while I’m out. This domestical crap really wore me out!!!
I like straight unfrosted bran flakes and a little juice. If I’m in a wild and crazy mood Clusters ------- I still respect them for their squirrel commercials. But often I either sleep late and skip breakfast or am on the road and going hotcakes and something or other.
Breakfast was leftover steak with a little soy sauce. I’m going to pretend that I did it for the protein.
Back from Phoenix and bouncing the grandbaby. Lots to catch up on.
Salute to FairyChatMom for the deep dusting. I probably ought to do that, too. The roomies will be gone for a week, so it’s possible. More probable is that I’ll crank up my tunes, since there’s no one but the dogs to be annoyed by it.
I feel like hell today.
I have things to do and I want to go back to bed.
FCM have you tried Consumer Cellular? The one with the annoying commercials?
They are even recommenced by aarp.
I’ll never join aarp but I hear they have some good deals. They are so annoying, I wish there was a way to tell them to kiss my ass and stop sending me their BS letters.
Has anybody ever noticed that commercials geared towards seniors are so damn annoying?
Especiailly the latest hearing aid one where the stupid woman talks about all the stuff she can hear while she ignoes her husbands pleas for help to find the keys. I see, wearing one of your hearing aids turns you into a rude asshole.
Don’t even get me started on the MetLife ones.
I can see that today is going to be a ‘bite me’ day.
N.O.L. has been ingested. Left over taco meat with some shredded lettuce, maters, cheeze, sour cream, and taco sauce. Heated up the taco meat and mixed everything else in it. Kinda like a taco sallit with out the taco. I purchased some of the left over corned beast from Sattidy night, so tonight will be reubens and fries. YUM!
sari the adult diaper commercial of late is both hilarious and annoyin’.
Mooom’s not a real man? :eek:
My usual irk day breakfast is a scrambled aig patty and a slice of cheese on a sammich thin. After I nuke it at irk, hot sauce is added.
On the weekends, if I’m breakfasting at home, it’s usually aigs with something that a pig made the ultimate sacrifice for and either a slice of toast or some grits. Sometimes, if there’s leftover cooked rice, I’ll fix fried rice on a weekend morning.
**sari **- I did look at Consumer Cellular, and it’s no cheaper than what we’ve got. Plus if you go over the number of minutes per month, it’s like 24¢ per minute. Yeah, you can upgrade for more minutes, but then I’d be paying more than I do now.
I figured that for a year with 2 of us on go-phones, we spend barely more than $20/month. Kinda hard to beat that, I’ve discovered.
As for commercials targeting seniors, I just lurve the on-line dating ads. The men are all gray and the women all have long, flowing tresses and nary a wrinkle. Yeah, that’s probably accurate… <snerk>
Back from erranding. I got some cash, picked up my meds, had a McLunch (McD’s will be getting an irate comment from me - half a slice of cheese on the fish sammich? Really? Is cheese that expensive??) followed by a stop at Food Lion for eggs and a few other things that I’d run out of.
I’m about to throw together a cuke salad. I took out a bag of pulled poke that I froze in January - that’s the core of tonight’s supper, along with the cuke salad and cole slaw. Strawberries for dessert. Yum! Oh rats - I didn’t get any whipped cream or 'niller ice cream for the berries. Oh well.
Going to head downtown for a rehearsal soon. Maybe get a coffee beforehand. I’ll have to actually pay for it this time.
(No, this doesn’t mean that I steal coffee. It means that I’ve occasionally won free coffees.)
Moanday reared its ugly haid big time this afternoon. Da bear is full of grrrrrrr at two of my folks right now. This shall not end well for either of them.
I am not a morning person. I want my coffee, my meds, and something nice and easy to digest that doesn’t smell too much. Toast is good. Corn english muffins are good. Eggs are icky. Bananas smell weird. Really, toast and coffee is good. That’s all I want.
Around 10 in the morning I have Greek yogurt for a nice hit of protein.
This Monday started off sucky – the cat did a massive “I was greedy at breakfast” hurl this morning. Tuna-fish barf. :mad: But mitigating this was that she threw up on the pleather sofa of the place I’m staying, so at clean-up was easy!
Had to call my doctor for a refill of Ativan and got the world’s self-appointed drug gatekeeper. Ugh. *Look, lady, yes, my GYN prescribed Ativan. It’s for anxiety and sleeplessness, which is really common in peri- and real- menopause. And I’m mid-move and don’t have MY house and MY stuff and **DON’T MAKE ME COME DOWN THERE, BITCH! ***
ahem
Irk was good, got lots done.
Heading “home” to do laundry in the laundromat with ONE working washing machine. I was told two weeks ago that “corporate” hadn’t approved the repair of the other two washing machines. I said, “What’s to approve? It’s broke. Fix it!” If I have to queue up to wash my clothing, I shall be very cross!
I also have to hoover tonight. The flurry male feline overlord is very good about using his scratching post and not the furniture, but he also leaves bits of cardboard scratching post all over the place. Also, fluffy white fur. :smack:
My breakfast is usually minimal. I tried having an English muffin with butter on it for many years, and it worked, but then I switched to even less - a glass of milk with a packet of Carnation Instant breakfast.
Recently, however, we bought a smoothie maker, so this morning I made a kale-banana-strawberry smoothie with almond milk. Smoothies will be the way to go, at least in the summer, I think.
I have a funny story to tell you guys about how I got my SO this weekend:
We were going to make potato-and-leek soup. So we bought the supplies on Friday, put away the groceries. I waited until he got on his computer, and took one of the leeks into the bathroom. I called out in my best helpless female voice: “Sweetie? I think we have a leak in the bathroom.” He came running, all concerned, with his Mr. Fix-it face on. “Where is it? Where is it?” I pointed out the leek, and oh, you should have seen his face.
Howdy Y’all! I survived Moanday. YAY! OYKW is on his way and says he wants to make the reubens. I did not argue. I also said that meant he’d have to do the fries as well. He did not argue. Note that I am lettin’ him use the kitchen all by himself. See, I am gettin’ better about that.
