MMP - a generally crappy Monday

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN Thus begins another day.

{{{Haze}}} I continue to keep IB, his dad, family and you in my thoughts and prayers. This is a tough situation and it’s ok to get all weepy. Maybe you can go see him for a few days. It’d mean a lot to the both of you IMO.

Aww Roise we would never do that! :stuck_out_tongue:

Rumbly tummy demands to be fed. Also must purtify for irk.

Happy Tuesday Y’all!

I have indeed emerged from the chair. Then it took me 5 minutes to walk down the hall to my bedroom and another 5 to figure out how to lay down in bed without screaming out in pain. I actually slept fairly well, but it looks like GilaMonster is going to be in charge today. Yesterday it only hurt if I moved a certain way or breathed in too sharply. Today it hurts all the time but in a less sharp way, if that makes any sense. At any rate, I’m in a different chair because my usual chair is a rocker and it was very hard to get out.

So I guess you could say I’m off my rocker. :smiley:

Morning, roise! :):stuck_out_tongue:

Hang in there,** Haze**! Swampy’s right. It’s ok to cry and remember we’re always here to listen.

Blurf!

It’s my blurfday on Sunday, did I tell you that?

Not to abuse the sympathy machine… My back is starting to feel better as I sit here.

Well, happy almost blurfday, BooFae!

it’s ooblech-ing this morning, but temps in the mid to high 30s, so it’s just messy, not hideous

Hah! That’s a great description. It’s doing that here, too!

Up, caffeinated, off to work. Booster Club board meeting tonight.

Rubber Duckie, you’re the one
You make bath time in-fec-tion
Rubber Yuckie, I’m awfully sick from you!

Eh, what do you want for less than one cup of coffee? Just saw a thing on the news about the horrid pestilence breeding inside kids’ bath toys. You’d think things that live in warm soapy water would be squeaky clean, but just like a kitchen sponge, those things harbor crazy amounts of bacteria. They sliced open a hapless squeaky shark, and it was filled with black and brown slime. ICK!

{{{{haze}}}} Still sending the good vibes to IB’s da.

Heh, swampy beat me to it, roise. We need to come up with a name for haze’s typos. Hmmm, a hazit? Hazo? Typaz? :smiley:

gotti, :eek: :eek: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Nuttin happening here but at least it’s not snowing.

Tupug

:: embarrassed :: I wasn’t even DURNK!

TVCTPMO has seized control of morning commute time. Yesterday was Teh Krayzees, today was snow. I gave up snow for Lent this year, dammit!

It took me an hour and 45 minutes to get from Teh VunderLair to Cubeville. I stopped for 3 accidents on the way, nearly got in the ditch twice myself, and had to fill my tank, too, so the delay wasn’t pure slop and idiots.

Special prize to the clod that got in front of me going 25 miles per hour, and blocked both lanes so you couldn’t pass him. Jerk. I can haz telecommute?

In happier news, I bought a bulk bag of noname sausages a couple of weeks ago, and finally started eating them last night. Not only were they quite tasty, but they had HTG sausage casings on them. Ain’t huthin better than a grilled or broiled sausage with a split, crunchy skin on them. I’ll be looking for those again in the store.

ETA: First! Neener neener neener!

Yuck, gotti!!! I saw the lead-in for that story, but didn’t see the gutted shark.

My tummy is ick this morning.

Blurf.

{{{Haze}}} - it’s ok to be weepy. It’ll all work out.

Glad you’re feeling better, buns.

w00t!!! Got our tickets for Diana Krall’s concert on 12th March!!!

Backstory: once a year, usually around the time of the Formula 1, Bahrain gets some culture, in the form of imported acts of varying quality and description. Last year, there wasn’t much to entertain us, although we did take HRH to see an excellent children’s band, led by Dan Zanes (?American singer), I think. This year, Diana Krall is visiting our little backwater, so I bunked off work and bought 2 tickets for me and hubby!

: waving : Hi roise!!!

I believe the story about kids’ bath toys. I have thrown out an incredible number of rubber duckies over the last 2+ years, especially those squirty ones, 'cause if you don’t squeeze all the water out when bathtime’s over, it just festers in there!!!

Just warn us if you get into a strategic mood. Those are dangerous!!! :eek: :smiley:

This is hilarious, whether or not it was on purpose! :smiley:

And what everyone else is saying about IB. It’s OK to be worried. It’s even natural. {{{Haze}}}

Well, at least they have the “squeaky” but down pat…

Hi, Roise! (Yup. It’s too late. Give up. :p)

(Decides not to bleach Gnat’s toys out- too much work)

Haze, continuing prayers and good thoughts headed out for Boyfriend’s Dad.
Yes, think unsticky thoughts now. Thanks.
Up too early. Going back to bed now I’ve fobbed Gnat off on my parents, and might do a couple of chores when I get up. Not much, because it’s midwives’ appointment and Measure Blood Pressure Stuff today again.

Always proofread what you post so you can make sure you didn’t anything out.

blurf.

Actually I’m doing pretty good today. Got up exactly when I’m supposed to (which is at least an hour sooner than I usually get up). Have had breakfast. Now I just have to get dressed and get to work, which is the part holding me up. Don’t wanna! I’m warm and comfortable!

A house in a ritzy suburb near here blew up last week. A contractor cut into the gas line down the street and somehow it got in to one house and… BOOM! Anyway, one of my coworkers knows the owners and says they’re having a horrible time trying to remember everything that was in their house to list it for insurance purposes. So I hauled out the camera yesterday and started taking pictures of everything - every drawer open, ever cabinet. I’ve gotten through the kitchen and dining room. It’s scary how much stuff we have.

It’s even worse when you still that, even after the edit.

That’s a DAMN good idea.
