I worked, I walked the dog, Watching 5+ hours of hockey. Life is good.
Must eat. Cook or delivery? hmmmmm
sari, glad the house thing is sorted out.
Butters! : tacklehug :
FCM, give it a try. Or just give Higgs some vodka before bedtime.
Spaz - I had a Dr Pepper today too.
I had a decent day. Didn’t do too much of note. Another of my music pieces is being published online, so that’s always nice.
Pizza won out.
When pugs drink, they turn ugly.
For G-d’s sake, don’t give him Dr. Pepper after dark!
Yay, sari!
And on that note, I’m heading to bed.
I knew a Black Lab who was a mean SOB when he was hungover.
Oh, G-d yes, they irresponsibly leap into water gardens and wine vats.
I didn’t really want to be up this early. I hope I can go back to sleep for a bit before it’s time to run some errands.
blurf
**sari **- YAY!! And onward!!
rosie- tell me about it. The magical hour today was 3:30. Higgs finally fell back to sleep a bit after 4, but nature called around 5 and once I got up, that was it. So the dog has been fed and let out and I’m awake. Dammit.
Part of the problem is I’m thinking about the yard sale. I want to get set up before I do any sales, but I know there are always early birds - ugh. I need to keep people away from FCD’s bike, but it’s too big for me to move, and I don’t want to cover it up, because his artwork might get him some painting jobs. And I don’t know whether to leave Higgs in the back yard or keep her in the house. I hate that I have to do this myself. And what if I have to pee??? :eek:
Today, I’ll bring up a few things from the basement and get the last box out of the shed. I’ll try to organize everything so it’ll go out easily and logically in the morning. I can’t set anything out tonight because it’s supposed to rain. Drat. I’ve also got to put the sign down at the main road. And find something to mount the sign that will go out front.
And today is FIL’s surgery. I hope all goes well for him and that they don’t have to hold him longer than overnight. I also hope they go directly back to Ocala and don’t come here first - I haven’t had time or the inclination to clean, and there’s no way it’ll get done today or tomorrow.
But first, I need breakfast. And some more sleep. <yawn>
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 65 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 83 for the day. I even have ceilin’ fans goin’. I’d open windows but the stoopid pollen would just come inside. I’m told that because we had a colder and wetter than normal Winter, the pollen is later this Spring. By now, usually, the worst of it is over. Stoopid pollen!
sari YAY!!! Here’s hopin’ you can move soonest.
MOOOOOOM prayers and good thoughts headed out for FILs surgery and their safe return to Ocala without a trip to FairyChatEstate first. Also, I think BBBobbio should show up tomorrow and be your yahd sale assistant. After all, what are almost neighbors for!
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. At some point today I shall get my new sideview mirror. The glass folk are goin’ to call me when it’s ready. I figure I can take a little break and go grab the mirror and pop it in place.
Happy Firday Y’all!
Good morning. I’m so glad it’s Friday.
Sari, congratulations! I hope everything moves swiftly for you, from here on out!
FCM, you’re going to be BUSY. May the force be with you.
Swampy, yay for the cheap mirror fix!
I’m up, and moving. I suppose that’s a plus. I’m having some coffee, and doing some straightening up around the house, along with litterbox scooping, and vacuuming. Shoot, I even took out some meat to thaw, so I can make a meatloaf for dinner this evening. I’m on a roll. Sort of. I’ll be lucky if I don’t roll my arse right back into bed.
I’m hoping the husband will make it home tonight, but, getting home on a Friday is almost unheard of. Most likely, he’ll be home tomorrow, at some point.
Have a good day.
I’m showered, I’m dressed, I’m breakfasting. I need to finish moving stuff to the garage before the afternoon rains arrive. And I need balloons - what says Yard Sale more than balloons??
Happy Firday!
I’m awake even though I’d rather not be.
It’s supposed to be a pretty day today, sunny and 67 degrees. Here’s hoping the WPTB are wrong about the rain and FCM has a wonderful yard sale.
Now I know why she wants me to move down there, more hands to help with the sale and Sah-son can do all the heavy lifting.
Yay for cheap mirror fixes Swampy
How did the interviews go Sticky?
Here’s hoping the possum doesn’t find his way home 2gig
Hugs and best wishes for all those in the hospital and worried about family members.
I may go to lunch today since we had planned a road trip anyway. I’m not sure yet until I actually stand up and start moving around.
Sah-dogs tail is going a mile a minute, I wonder what he is dreaming about.
**FCD **just called a bit ago - his dad has been taken and the surgery is supposed to last about 3 hours. And they’ll want him back in 3 weeks, so I’ll get another stretch home alone next month. No yard sale that time, tho!
**sari **- the heavy lifting is just about done. What I’ll need is bathroom break relief! So, what are you doing tomorrow morning?? 
Yes! sari, gigity and BBBobbio live in MOOOOOOM’s vicinity so they should all show up to help tomorrow. What could be more fun than a Mumpfest/Yahd Sale!
I got a problem developin’ in the north forty dangit! Also, mirror folks just called. Sigh. I might as well just head on up to the north forty from there. I don’t wanna though.
Life is hard.
Driving to St Mary’s county?
I’ll be doing the same thing I do every Saturday morning, irking.
Good morning all.
Good luck on the Yard Sale Mom.
I took my wife to a couple of places she’s never been to before - the Emergency Room and Pharmacy at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. Finally talked her into seeking medical attention for the shingles. And of course, she didn’t take the pain killers that they gave her, (“I don’t want to feel loopy”) so she ended up in the guest room all night tossing and turning, and not sleeping at all. I feel bad for her, but I’m not going to tie her down and feed her pills.
Good luck with the sale, Moooom - is it a chance to get rid of a few things FCD never realised he’d got? You can always have another one when Sari is around to help…
I am irked with irk today but at least my day is nearly over. I’m meeting a friend in town afterwards for a Thai meal and a few drinks so at least I have something nice to look forward to.
I also have no plans for the weekend apart from being a domestic goddess. The house has been neglected for a while and there are a bunch of things that need to be done - nothing exciting but it will be nice to see the place clean and relatively tidy again.
Ho hum.
I’m sorry your wife is feeling poorly, Sean. I sure hope it passes soon.
Good luck with yard sale, FCM. You’re a braver woman than I; I have no interest in haggling with people over a dollar.
Yay on the house stuff moving forward, Sari. Hopefully, you’ll soon be in your own place.
Well, it’s finally Friday and it sure took its sweet time getting here. I was hoping for a quiet weekend, but alas, it’s not going to happen.
One of our friends called last night and informed me they were coming over on Saturday at 3:00 to make up for cancelling on us last weekend. Apparently, the wife half of the duo had called my husband earlier in the day and they had spoken. It was news to me. Although I was somewhat irked at their cancellation last weekend (they contacted us an hour before they were supposed to be at our house); I was kind of relieved they weren’t coming. The reason I was somewhat irked was because they were the ones who asked* us *to host last weekend. I went and shopped for the dinner and then they cancelled because they just felt like staying home. I get it; sometimes you just don’t want to go anywhere. On the other hand, if you’re the one who asked to come over and be fed, it’s kind of rude to cancel last minute.
At any rate, the hubby half of the duo called me at 9:00 last night and informed me they were coming over. It was news to me, but I went along with it.
I know half of the reason they want to come over is to work on us over going on vacation with them and the gang. They want to go to Florida this year. I really don’t want to go to Florida. They don’t even know where in Florida they want to go yet. They want to go in October. I do believe that’s part of hurricane season and I have no interest in spending thousands of dollars to go sit out a hurricane in a hotel room. I’ve already told them I don’t want to go and they’re pretty disappointed. It’s nice they want us there, but I’d like to go someplace that appeals to me, and well, Florida just doesn’t appeal to me.
I want to go to the redwood forests in northern California and find a quirky inn and town to stay in. I’d like to go to the Grand Tetons. I’d like to just go someplace woodsy or with mountains. I generally have a blast in Kauaii, but for once I’d like to go someplace that appeals to me. Maybe that’s selfish. My husband has left it up to me; but I know he’d really like to go to Florida. It’s quite a conundrum.
Well, I should dig into my work. I’m here, but I’m not feelin’ it. I just want to go home and muck out my dogs’ kennel and otherwise hang out with my dogs.
Apologies to all for not checking back in but I didn’t really have any news until just now. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts, they worked!! 
My cousin was taken off the ventilator Wednesday and moved down from ICU yesterday. I just spoke with her and she sounds good; her throat was sore yesterday from the vent tube but it’s not too scratchy today so she was up to talking some. She may even go home today or tomorrow, I guess that depends on what her doctors decide. Her hubby has been very good about keeping me informed; he’s a really sweet guy. Thanks again and continue to keep her in your thoughts.
FCM, thoughts and prayers for your FIL and good luck with the yard sale. What an undertaking! Sticky, good thoughts for you as well, hope that the interviews will bring a job. BooFae, glad you had a good time on your vacation in Belgium (yum, chocolate there! LOL). Soothing thoughts for Sean’s wife; hope she’ll go ahead and take the pain meds at night, so she can sleep. Shingles is definitely bad news. 
I know that I’m forgetting people! I guess that calls for the Rosie .sig. TGIFIRDAY!!! Have a great day all.
