March Madness at work continues… And nary a basketball in sight :rolleyes:

And it’s about to turn into April Craziness, too… :eek:

Everyone – TLD(have the time to)R ☹ Hugs, yays, boos as appropriate.

OK – some of the hugs may be inappropriate. You know who you are 😉

Bad night for sleeping. I woke up after about 4 hours and had to visit the bathroom. Then I woke up 2 1/2 hours later having an anxiety attack and sure that something was terribly wrong. So far so good, though, I guess. Usually I wake up to sudden fears that something is wrong with one of my grandparents. (They are 78 and 79.)

So, anyways, I’m very tired this morning and don’t want to go to work. Did I mention that I could have actually slept in this morning but due to the above and my damn back aching I didn’t. Interestingly enough, though, when I was reading about plantar fasciitis it said that due to prolonged pain it can change the way that you walk and throw the rest of your body out of whack. I’m hoping that this is the reason that my back always hurts when I try to sleep and that getting the new orthotic will correct the problem.

Enough complaining for now, I need to do some invoices and also find my tax return from last year. Apparently my accountant didn’t keep a copy for himself. :smack: :dubious:

Oh yeah, sorry **beebs** , too edgy and tired right now to take advantage of you. Maybe you could email me some of your pills, though, and I’d feel better.

Good morning, dear Mumpers! I’ve been awake for a while, but reluctant to get up. I’m trying to get motivated. Need to do that soon, since I have an 8:30 meeting. Arghhhhhh.

Hope things start looking up soon, **MBG**.

Feel better fast, **beebs**!

Dammit, **Rigs** , your queen bitch skunk claimed a victim today.

Some dude rolled his car several times after getting off the road on the right side, and flipped it into the trees on the left. All within a quarter mile of where I saw that damned skunk Tuesday.

Police and fire, but no ambulance, and he was on the side of the road with a couple of cops talking on his cell phone, so I presume he was unhurt. The crotch of his pants weren’t shredded, either. This was in Virginny, so no rescue tale to tell.

Off to find brekkie and caffeine.

“Cunnilingus” is  
hard to count the syllables.  
And no fun for me.

It’s a preference,  
Some like boobs, and some like butts.  
Personally I…

A hairy beaver  
Works all day to block the dam.  
What innuendo?

There is a penis  
So long it love you long time.  
Oh just ignore me.

There’s your TMI, dammit.

Actually I really can’t tell the difference between **beeb’s** altered state and his normal state. 😃

**MBG** hope things are lookin’ up and you’ll feel better soon. Let us know how it’s goin’ from time to time, ok?

Ok, off to work… grumblegrumblegrumble… later Y’all!

Definitely not the Ontario Nappanee, **Labeless**. No Amish around there, just my inlaws and a reservation where said inlaws buy cigarettes.

Not my MIL, my SIL. Who might be coming to the baptism. Won’t _that_ be interesting. If her kid brings his hockey stick to church, I will confiscate and break it.

Apparently Mr. Lissar is sick again. He’s still in bed. We’re up, and Nat is doing Important Kicking Exercises. Mr. Lissar being sick means I’ve got someone to hold the baby while I thoroughly clean the fridge. :rolleyes: It needs to be done, and **QD** was too busy organizing the pantry to get to it.

I know, I’m spoiled. She really enjoys cleaning, though. Mr. Lissar had to hold her back from doing the closets. She was making frantic bumble bee buzzing noises, and trying to get around him to start.

She does actually make those noises, too. When she’s working she buzzes quietly and happily, and when she wants something she buzzes loudly.

I just talk to cats, stuffed animals, and the baby, and pretend they all talkl back. Since Nat’s beginning to babble he’s sort of ruining it.

That sounds more like the opussum squad to me. Bitch skunks from hell don’t waste time with rollovers–not enough pain you know. They like to watch as the life ebbs slowly from their victims in a trickle of blood and regret.

Sorry, wrong animal. You’ll know when the BSFH strikes.

_Soooo…sleeeeeepy_ this morning. Must go get another cuppa.

**mbg** , whassup???

**li-li** , I’m noticing you are posting much earlier now that you have the organic alarm clock. 😉

**beebs** , how’s the buzz this morning?

Heh, I’m readin in the “clique” thread that the MMPers have intimidating backstories. If they only knew how truly mundane we actually are. Oh, and all you lurkers, we’re happy to 'splain anything you don’t know about. Like alla **li-li’s** hubbies for example. And then there’s “cockies and beer.” 😃

Carry on, all, while I wander off for that coffee.
