Same with me. I don’t mind laundry, and I don’t completely hate doing dishes, but dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing bathrooms and floors - that all doth suck mightily!!
However, the dusting is done, except for our bedroom. The guest bed has fresh sheets. My packing is just about done - since I washed unders the other day, I had enough clean to pack plus get myself thru the next few days. Apart from my toothpaste and face moisturizer, all I have left to pack is my carry-on, which is a Harley backpack. It’ll hold the important papers, my meds, the laptop, camera, a change of clothes, and some granola bars.
I weighed the heavier of my two bags - it came in around 46# (the limit is 50#) but the lighter one still had space, so I moved 2 sweaters and 2 turtlenecks, lightening the heavier bag and ensuring the stuff in the lighter bag won’t shift around too much. One stop closer…
I don’t know what good all the testing and surgery did because right now I am back to where I started from. I guess I will have to go back for another ‘procedure’ but I’m waiting until after I move.
Thirty more days until closing.
I’m with you Lieu and Sean. I don’t understand people who don’t recycle. I think it may be just pure laziness. Then again, who knows why. When the HFH first came here she was determined that we would no longer recycle in this house. If you look down my street on trash day everybody recycles. Maybe everybody shamed everybody else into doing it.
Then again, even when I was delivering papers it seemed like everybody recycled. I know because we had to deliver a annoying free paper that nobody wanted - people would actually scream at us to stop throwing it in their yard. Trash day in most of the neighborhoods where I delivered was the same day the free paper came out. I threw most of the papers right into the recycle bins.
GT I agree with Taters about huskies. They are a handful. One of my clients used to breed them, when I started working for her she had six. They are smart, and stubborn and escape artists and love to run, and run, and run some more. They will take over if you let them. Then again if you have the time, energy and patience to deal with one they are really nice dogs. They do shed, a lot, a whole lot, lots of little undercoat white hairs that float, up your nose, and stick to your clothes, and furniture, and carpet.
I like huskies, but I like them best when they belong to somebody else. I can pet them and play with them.
I agree with Lieu, puppy breath is the best. Puppy yawns are cute too.
2Gig - better you than me when it comes to critters in the house. Pets are allowed in the house, critters belong outdoors. Swampy I hear possum is really greasy.
Local [del]minion[/del] assistant is havin’ fun dealin’ with people today. She’s good. I’ve heard her say several times, “I’ll be glad to take you through the steps, but you have to do this. I can’t do it for you. It’s your responsibility.” Mayhaps she’ll have 'em trained soon just as I do. There are things I no longer get asked about because they know all they’ll hear is exactly that.
Possum is greasy. It also has a very gamey taste as it is (duh!) game meat. I tried it once and that was enough. What? How was I to know if’n I liked it or not without tryin’ it? Even though I really am in possession (it’s somewhere in da cave I’m pretty sure) of the complete recipe to preparin’ possum I mentioned earlier, I have never actually done it bein’ as when I cook cornbread it’s for human consumption only. Ok, and some critters. I had a cocker spaniel who lurved him some cornbread. If he smelled it bakin’ he would sit in front of the oven in anticipation. Now that’s cornbread lurve!
swampy, like you, I’ve tried possum exactly once. And yes, I have better uses for cornbread and a recipe for possum (I believe it’s in one of Ernest Matthew Mickler’s cookbooks).
Today is a gimpy day. I hyperextended my knee yesterday and now I’m walking like an old woman. I have a feeling if I bowl tonight, I will buy beer.
I am so sorry I didn’t report my sister for opening my mail when had the proof.
Stuff is gone missing again, I missed the due date on a hospital bill, bank statements are missing again. I know it’s her but I can’t prove it.
So I called the PO and filled out a report. I told them I know it’s her but I can’t prove it.
Now it’s in their hands.
Sari the day you move to the new digs, we shall have a virtual Mumper celebration.
Sigh. Peoples just get dumber and dumber. I have one participant who wants to get the food server safety certification thingy course which is jake because it is in line with the trainin’ he’s gettin’. The course is a couple hunnert bucks includin’ the test and all that there stuff. I told him I needed info on the course, what it covers, the cost, where it’s taught (local tech colleges), and dates a couple of months out and I would request funds to cover the cost emphatically statin’ that that would be contingent on there bein’ funds. Simple enough, right? So instead he enrolls in the trainin’ and is attendin’ it today and tomorrow as I just learned. Apparently the tech college where he’s doin’ this is of the mind they can just send a bill and it’ll get paid. WRONG!!! Guess he wanted it bad enough to pay for it himself cause that’s what he went and did. Sigh. [del]Minion[/del] Assistant took the call. When she passed it on to me she told me to be ready to headdesk.
Swampy the celebration I’ll be having here or there as the case may be will be heard around the world.
Thirty days to settlement and I keep thinking of this song today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdXjm8pZMws
The doctor finally called me back and he wants me to come to the emergency room. I am going to wait a bit longer and then probably go. I don’t want to go, why can’t the bullshit just hit me one thing at a time?
I’m makin’ a slacker dindin tonight. Bag sallit, frozen lasagna, and frozen garlic bread. The lasagna is doin’ it’s thang in the oven right now. I shall toast up the garlic bread in the convection oven in a little bit and dump the bag sallit in a bowl. Tasty and easy, the way I like my men.
Do you have the edition that has a section on how to skin everything from a deer to a squirrel? We used to have that one when I was a wee SpazKitten.
Two of my cow-irkers got fired while I was vacationing. One was Lazy Daisy who had it coming and the other was Crochet Coworker who was late too many times. :smack::mad: So I’m having to do the solo thing again until a new person is hired. Plus I have to work with Chatty Cathy on Friday and Saturday, but only for a couple of hours at the end of my day.
I tell them not to burn the place down while I’m gone and what do they do? Burn the damn place down!
The ingestion of foodstuffs has occured. Not to bad for frozen and bagged stuff. I was hopin’ OYKW would stay tonight but alas, he’s dealin’ with irkstuff again. Le Sigh.
Spaz I bet they didn’t bother to use coasters either did they? Sorry about losin’ the co-irker you liked.
Air conditioner repair today. It crapped out at 3:00 Ante Meridian. (In the morning, Swampy.)
I called the guys we used at 7:00, 8:00 and finally three. Mrs Plant (v.3.0) had the day off, and behaved magnificently. Mrs. Plant (v.2.0) would have rented a luxury hotel room at $100.00 an hour.
It is working, but we will need to replace it next year. I believe that we shall take bids, and be sure that these guys don’t get it.
