No sleep in the MMP

Alex Catt just hornked in the hallway. Joy.

Welcome back, Boofae!

Midget, do you have another way to check on him?

Blurf at irk. Nothing works here. the phones are still out, the network computer is dead and today the wifi does not work. I am on hold with the wifi folks and am using my phone hotspot to come here to bitch. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

His roommate is a friend of mine, and she might know something. I’m thinking of asking her, but I’m trying to think of a non-nosy-sounding way of asking.

Up and being productive. My shoulder is stiff pretty stiff from the weekend and the weather. The horsey-juice seems to be working on everything else.

Midget if he’s a friend, I wouldn’t worry too much about non-nosy. A simple “I haven’t seen “Harry” around recently. How is he doing?” should work.

Dentist this morning, followed by new house cleaner. It is in the mid-thirties again. Unlike Spidey, I like Fall!

On other fronts, it looks like my computer has died. Not sure what is up - it just won’t start. I am using my iPad for now.

FINALLY finished the the drawings for Josh, plus I did the corrections that Ryan sent to me. So after lunch, I can attack Tim’s drawing. What a day!!!

**FCD **came by, and he’s decided to take tomorrow off. He hardly has anything to do, since they know he’s retiring in Dec. It’s a weird state to be in - you want to do something but you can’t get involved in anything long-term in a company that doesn’t really do anything short-term.

Vacation day after tomorrow… not counting the hours yet, but almost!

Clean sheets, clean towels, clean wash cloths, clean undies, clean jeans, clean shirts, clean pants and clean socks. Laundry is all done! Go Me!

Swampy…can you come over and visit?(laundry is piled up!!!)

swampy, does that include clean mind and clean body? :cool::p;)

Welcome back, boofae. Good to see you around the premises.

FCM, you can tell FCD I know the feeling, the last 3 months I worked I was just training my replacement (who had 20 years experience in the business so really didn’t need it) and trying not to get caught on the SDMB.

We got the soccer game in last night just before dark; the girls tied their game 2-2 to end the season with the unusual record of 1 win, 1 loss, and 4 ties. And now on to the tournament this weekend.

And now to forage for lunch.

I have been poked and prodded at the doc’s. We went and grabbed some Mexican comestibles. I have two new meds to replace two that were not doin’ whatever for me. I take 'em once a day preferably with food so I just took 'em. I figure if there are any side effects it would be best to be home. Hope these work better.

That has been the excitatement in south Jawja this afternoon.

Sam’ich for dinner; story later.

We went to Salsa’s for supper. Too tahred to cook. It was a long 9-hour day, and I didn’t finish what I’d hoped to finish. Here’s hoping tomorrow will see the projects wrapped up.

Also hoping I sleep tonight. I need a good sleep.

Welcome back boofae!

Irked, came home walked (and walked and walked) Nelson. To those of you with dogs, do you have any issues with them dilly dallying around and not doing all of their business outside, but ten minutes after coming inside, there’s a pile of poo somewhere? We’re trying out a new reward system now. He only gets a treat when we come in if he’s done ALL of his business.

Red we seem to be past the accident stage (knocking on wood and crossing all appendages). You might try keeping him on a leash right next to you until he does his business. That way you can spot him getting ready and hustle him outside. Once he goes outside, throw him a big party with lots of praise and 4-5 treats.

We are just back from the dog park, where Miss Pepper had lots of fun playing chase/tag/grab the stick/wrestle. She met a very young little puppy and played very gently with him. His owner solemnly assured me that he was a German Shepherd. I did not tell him that the pup was a pit bull if I’ve ever seen one. He was a sweet little guy whatever his ancestry. :stuck_out_tongue:

The new housecleaner is awesome. She will also do the laundry and a few extra things for me, which will be a big help. Yay for new housekeeper!

sunny, most of the time, he does well, but today wasn’t one of those days and he had a day like today last week. I likely shouldn’t be complaining, as he’s only 5 1/2 months old.

We dined on Filet Mignon, baked NOT’s and fried Eggs. Twas good. Tomorrow shall be fresh snapper, cole slaw and something else. Hunnicane food is awesome.

Tahred.

Thanks, all.

Went to a town out in the country today, by bus. The bus station ended up not being near anything within walking distance so I took a taxi and saw the downtown area. It was pretty nice, but nothing special. Also, I was still feeling sad.

Well, tomorrow’s another day. It’ll be a tough day, but maybe with the help of substances*, I’ll get through it.

*Caffeine. Maybe chamomile tea. Don’t know if I’ll still be too depressed to eat chocolate.

Dinner before work was something that came out of a can. Inspiration levels were not high today. :slight_smile:

It was nice & sunny out & had warmed up to a reasonable temperature by lunch so I went for a walk on the trail (about 12:40pm). Right near the beginning of the trail is a coffee shop. Three people come out of the coffee shop ahead of me, a hipster dude, & two females; clearly the three of them were together. He looked older than them but would be on the younger side to be their father, but possibly. He was dressed hipsterish, the one girl was dressed normally, while the other one was wearing a white terrycloth bathrobe & slippers! :eek:

WTH??? It after noon & you can’t even put on some clothes to go to the store??? They don’t go towards the nearby apartment building but towards the trail, too!

As I walk past them I look at this freak who’s wearing a bathrobe & slippers & realize she’s also madeup! WTH? You can put on makeup & have your hair look nice but not bother to get dressed before you go out? :confused:

As I go down the trail, it dawns on me; after one block there’s the corporate offices of a specialty women’s clothing place. I bet they’re going there, & sure enough they did. She’s the model, hipster dude is the photographer & the other girl is assistant; I’d bet money on it. But still, didn’t you come to the photo shoot with some clothes on? You can’t be bothered to put them back on before you go out, in public for a drink, or stay in the orifice while someone picks up a drink for you? :smack:

If only there was a Wal-mart around.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN Actually been up since four. Could not go back to sleep so I feel sorta ick right now. ‘Tis 48 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 78 and N.O.S. for the day. Temps will creep back into the low 80s and then we’re promised rain and a cool down next week. We shall see. No side affects from the new meds (unless it’s the up too early thing) so far. Today is geezer day at the Pubic Sto’. I may go later today. I don’t really want to get out and about this mornin’ the way I feel now.

BooFae forgot to say, welcome back!

Spidey as much as I love my big white terry cloth robe I would not go about the public in it except maybe down to the mailbox. One just should not do such things.

I feel like I have had enough caffeine so maybe I should feed rumbly tummy and then purtify. I may or may not try to lie down for a while.

Happy Hump Day Y’all!
