I’m up and caffeinated. I’m off at noon today, so I’m gonna [del]pour lava and boiling acid on[/del]give Gordie a bath(he acts like it’s the same thing).
Have at it, y’all!
**FCD **wanted to get up at 5, but he woke at 4:30 and that was that. He’s on his way to FL in a van that reeks of my mother’s perfume… OK, reek isn’t the right word, but when you open the door, you get a whiff of whatever it is that my mom douses herself with. Not surprising, since it’s her van. Anyway, he’s off to help his folks thru their respective surgical procedures and I’m without adult supervision for at least a week. 
Since Higgs isn’t my dog, I don’t have to bathe her, which suits me fine. I always did Pixel and Bernie and Scruffy, and since I didn’t want another dog, she should be happy that I even bother to feed her. She’ll get a bath when her daddy gets back.
Among my chores this week:
[ul]
[li]finish painting the shed (with luck, done today)[/li][li]buy dog food[/li][li]trash and recycling run[/li][li]mulch everything I can[/li][li]maybe do some cleaning[/li][li]do some claying[/li][/ul]
Yep, the life of the retiree is beyond exciting. That’s what you have to look forward to, kids! 
Happy Moanday!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 50 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 77 and sunny. The weather is finally actin’ like Spring again. We’ll have highs into the 80s this week. YAY!
Tonight is men’s night over to the church house. Thus, I have steaks marinatin’ and beer chillin’. Both of us really look forward to this each month. Just a good time hangin’ out with lots of [del]bs[/del] great debates on how to solve the problems of the world.
MOOOOOOM yahdirk must also happen here at da cave. Right now things don’t look so bad but after all the rain of the past few days I suspect the grass will need mowage big time by midweek. ICK!
doggio have fun [del]pouring lava and boiling acid on[/del] bathin’ Gordie!
Hopefully I shall have a bit of time to go check out some cheap chawklit if’n it ain’t all gone.
Ok, now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. As I mentioned yestiddy a trip to the southeast forty is in store this mornin’. At least I can start out there from da cave.
Happy Moanday Y’all!
I’ve been up over 2 hours. I’m thinking I should shower, get dressed, go to the gym, then pick up FCD’s meds at CVS and get some strawberries at Food Lion. It’s still way too chilly to paint. So showering/gym/etc is a good plan. Except it requires me to get out of this chair and do stuff.
My life can be so difficult sometimes!!! * <insert dramatic pose of woe>*
I just found out.
Not only doesn’t play well, but doesn’t pay attention well… 
Monday blurfs are the worst blurfs
x2!
Lazy weekend. Slow irk week. Off to visit the parental units this weekend as its my mom’s 75th b-day.
Ultrablurf.
My littlest clarinet needs a new ligature (it’s a thing that holds a reed onto the instrument) and I don’t know if the music store is open today. I’ll see.
Decided to be a responsible adult. I’m showered, dressed, and about to head to the gym. Then errands. Then home to paint, assuming it warms up enough.
It isn’t easy being me.
Live from Asheville, **Spaz **is finally up and presentable!
After I get done with the laundry, I need to call the City Council Tire Place to make an appointment for them to take all my money from me. I may get new tires in exchange. I went down the Parkway a bit yesterday and I was getting pretty nervous with the way they were riding.
I took Friday off and generally spent the weekend goofing around. I actually cleaned out the cabinet under the bathroom sink and didn’t find anything icky, just some bottles of anti-inflammatories that expired. I made myself an Easter basket Saturday and put it on the dining table. Yesterday morning I got up and exclaimed (to nobody since I live alone), “the Easter bunny was here.” Ate a bunch of chocolate last night. Tonight I’m having leftover ham and scalloped taties (which I made myself). That fud is best the second day. As far as irk goes, it’s dead so I’ll be slacking off A LOT.
Happy Moanday Mumpers
Maintenance and cleaning day at the Grande Casa de Rock
Coffee and get on the motorscooter and go.
Cheers

Live from the armpit…
It’s Moonday morning!
It’s up to 48 outside, bright and sunny and wtf is the male HFH walking across the front yard like he is coming from down the street? It’s supposed to get up to 67.
I slept horribly last night, I woke at 2:30 and finally fell back asleep and woke at 7:30 with a stiff neck and headache. I had some weird dreams which didn’t help.
I feel like ick so I am not doing a thing that requires attention until noon.
I talked to the realtor this morning already and she is going to coordinate everything ans we can decide how to proceed. I would like to talk to the selling agent but it wouldn’t be pretty if I did. I feel like she is jerking me around and I feel like telling her ‘if she doesn’t want to sell the damn house to let me know, she can give me my deposit back and I can move on. and if she didn’t want to sell it then why did she put it on the market?’
Sometimes I just gotta tell people like it is and if they don’t like it they can just kiss my so white it glows in the dark ass.
Back from erranding with a major score!!! Food Lion had 1# bags of pecan halves for $3.99! Last week, they were $9.99! I bought 4 bags, because I use them in baking a lot. 3 of the bags are in the freezer - great way to start the day. Plus I got 2 packages of marked down 93% lean ground beef, also now residing in the freezer. And not only was canned dog food on sale, one of the cans had a $1 off coupon on it, further reducing the price. It’s a good grocery day!
And it’s starting to warm up. I’ve got windows open and in a little while, I’ll don grubbies and finish painting the shed. Probably after lunch - that way I can work for about 3 hours without having to stop. Plus it’ll be warmer, so I can wear shorts.
Not bad for a Monday!
So much for thinking I don’t have have to do anything until noon.
Now the inspection is moved to Friday because when the power company tried to turn on the electricity and the meter is missing.
They discovered the weevils.
Drive-by good morning to you all. Hope to have time to get back here before the end of the day.
Ultra-Blurf.
Unusually for me, I irked today, despite it being Monday. It was time and a half, for a daytime football match, bein’ a holiday- so I could irk without missing juggling club, and getting pretty decent money for an easy job. Unfortunately, that meant getting home at 3.30 ay emm from doin’ a rock night (that was absolutely dead- all of 15 people- so dead easy, but terribly boring) then being at the footy by 10.30, only to be told that I wasn’t starting til 11.
I think I managed an hour or so’s sleep at least, and there’s not much scheduled work left, so I can’t afford to turn any down.
On the bright side, I was home by 4 pee emm, I’ll prob’ly be off the rest of the week, and I have chawklit, so I can’t be too miserable!
Happy Moanday all!
