On Tuesday today was supposed to be stormy. 'Tis perfectly lovely and sunny out instead. ---

Lunch break. Brain break. Without a doubt, my boss is the worst at explaining stuff to me. He canā€™t say, in plain English: ā€œDesign a non-working replica of this part that will blah blah blahā€¦ā€ I went back and looked at the email he sent - nope, it wasnā€™t me. Thereā€™s no way anyone could understand what he meant. So Iā€™m just finishing up with the replica design, which will affect all the rest of the crap I spent a week working on. The man makes me crazy! Deep cleansing breathsā€¦ ---

**BLURF** I just sent in my time sheet putting myself out today at 1400. I will still go over 80 hours with the travel day last Sat. I worked at least 15 hours each day of my travel but I will only be paid for 8 hours each day. I think they owe me. I think I will do just what has to be done today and tidy my desk. Once I drop Lucky Louie at home I shall go to the grocery store and procure something for dinner. Probably get a chicken. ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > I actually canā€™t. I can only turn the tv to one app we never use. I _can_ predict weather with my butt since the tailbone incident, though. šŸ™‚ Iā€™ve heard people say the rain/snow is a pain in their ass but youā€™re the first I know who means that literally! My divorce is done. I went to the [del]carpenter[/del], [del]lawyer[/del] dentist this morning & am now done with the ā€˜holyā€™ toof as he extracted it. I will have to go back to the [del]matchmaker[/del] dentist to be set up with a long term/for life replacement he says Iā€™ll love. Right now Iā€™m still numb from the novocaine but Iā€™m sure it hurt later. If any of the cute, single, female Mumpers/Dopers want to kiss it better later Iā€™m game. Donā€™t think you can kiss a toof but the lips are real close. šŸ˜ƒ **Flytrap** as you are none of cute, single, or female, & because Iā€™m such a nice guy I didnā€™t want you to feel left out I have something you can kiss for me. What hurts right now is the hole in my wallet, which I keep in my rear pocket. You can kiss that better. ---

**swampy** , only a couple of friends are going to N.O.L. with you? Shouldnā€™t there be five of you? šŸ˜› **{{{spidey}}}** Are you going for a screw in replacement toof or a bridge? Our security here a irk got a new toy and are being a PITA with the way we walk through the metal detector. Three of us in our department alone have complained to HR. It will blow over once everybody gets to [del]play with[/del] try out the new thermal scanner. ---

I might be coming down with the sick thatā€™s going around. Came in feeling fine today, but I am so unbelievably sleepy all of the sudden, and my head hurts. Iā€™m not allowed to be sick until at least Sunday. ---

Howdy Yā€™all! Five Guys was well, not all that great. The three guys that went to Five Guys wish weā€™d gone somewhere else. Howā€™s that **red**. šŸ˜ƒ Just not very good and way over priced. **{{{Sunny and Drae}}}** hope yā€™all are feelinā€™ better soonest. ---

**Swampy** I hear ya on Five Guys. DH loves it. The rest of us, not so much. About once a year weā€™ll give in and go with him. **Spidey** sorry about the hole-y too. I hates that! This week is probably an excellent representation of _why_ Iā€™m out on disability. Stoopid migraines. I spend the days in bed, occasionally sitting up to do Interwebs. Itā€™s boring, and frustrating, in addition to being painful. I feel like a mushroom. Just sit here in the dark. Wahhhhhh! OK - Iā€™m done whining. šŸ˜ƒ **Drae** hope you beat the bug. **Butters** have a relaxing day. May I add that I am _ **so** _ ready for this election to be over? I think election reform should include a shortened and defined period for campaigning. If we could limit this to 3 or even 6 months, it would be a vast improvement. This 18 months stuff is ridiculous. ---

Eighteen months? Silly woman - try FOUR YEARS!! I swear, some people have been talking about this election since the last election. And yes, I agree - 6 months is more than enough time. But itā€™ll never happen because thereā€™s so much money at stake! Weā€™re going to Cracker Barrel because \*SOMEONE \*in this household wants pancakes for supper. šŸ˜ƒ ---

\*\*swampy \*\*- I had a tasty supper - haddock with carrots, broccoli, and hash brown casserole. Iā€™s stuffded! Itā€™s not my first choice restaurant, but the food has never disappointed me. Service at times, but not the food. Glad tomorrowā€™s Firday. This has been a week from hellā€¦ ---

**swampy** , maybe the other two guys had already eaten there and shared your opinion. šŸ˜ƒ Donā€™t breathe on anyone, **drae**. Feel better soon. Well, more security issues tonight. If the [del]asshole[/del] security officer involved does this again tomorrow, I will file a harassment complaint. I have already made a complaint to my manager. I got my flu shot when I picked up a prescription this evening (why, oh, why canā€™t they send my text for all of them at once?)and not only did my insurance pick up the whole tab, I got a $5 gift card from Tar-jay card for my efforts! šŸ™‚ ---

I did leave early and came home and bathed my Louie. He missed his last Sunday bath and was overdue. I did not go to the store but scrounged up some okra & tomatoes, field peas with snaps, corn on the cob, fresh spinach and smoked poke chops. It was good. Sometimes or most times I just crave me some vegetables. I foresee an early bedtime like very soon and TGIF tomorrow. Tis been a long week and I am tahred. I am sleeping with Ben tonight as my sinuses are acting up. Night. ---
