The sun is out!
Supposed to be a high of 58, so not so bad for December.
Today is pizza day so I don’t have to feed the sah-kid, just pick up the phone, order some food, and wait for it to get here 
So far hell pup’s mom hasn’t called for me to walk her and I’m hoping she doesn’t need me today. Whoops, just called and yes, she needs me. Guess I’d better get my ass up and in gear.
Perhaps it is also a Channukah lunch. 
I could go with bah-humf*ck
IF you are coughin’, hackin’ and/or makin’ noises that indicate you are about to heave up everything you have ingested in the last thirty days, please mute the dang phone! Seriously, poor thing sounds like she might expire anytime now.
(((((Cap’n)))))
Feel better soon, sickies!
I have been a busy fae today, some kind person arrived in the office and dumped 90 assignments on my desk this morning and asked if I “could do something with them”. I can think of several somethings I could do with them, but I have decided to do the honourable “something” that I am actually expected to do.
I did nip out at lunchtime to drop off some hexmas pressies to Bridezilla (she’s been married for 2 years but still hasn’t lost the name). This year several friends are getting home-made gifts so she has peanut brittle, rocky road and jammie dodgers to share with her husband (provided he behaves himself and doesn’t spend too much time on the naughty list).
My line manager has agreed to my hours for this week so that means I come in early for four days and go home at lunchtime on Friday…then I’m not in again until 3rd January! Sadly I only have three days of paid holiday left so I will have to be unpaid for the rest but the break from work will be good.
Another friend has boiler problems and has no hot water or heating at home so I am waiting for an update from him on the engineer otherwise I need to get my spare housekeys from the friend I’m taking to Fat Club tonight, then he can have those and spend the day at mine keeping warm. He’s retired (his g/f isn’t, she still works) but I don’t like to think of them at home and cold when I have a warm house that’s empty all day. See? I’m not all bad.
Ms. hack/cough/heave has either put her phone on mute or expired. Just thought y’all would want to know. 
Swampy if you get your butt up here by 12:30 CST, we can have lunch together. That would so fun!!!1!!! Then we could go drinking. Just sayin.’
Hmmm… could I get from here to wherever WetOne is CST in two hours? Dang, probably not!
In other news I have successfully survived conference call heck. YAY!!! Just think, in January instead of CCH I get to go to Stone Mountain and look at everybody face to face in In Person Conference Heck, right reserved to upgrade (downgrade?) to In Person Conference Hell as needed.
Home from Conn and damn glad of it. Normally my weekend is my weekend - a time of rest. This week it was a pair of 16 hr days sandwiched between 7 hr drives is an uncomfortable satellite truck.
It’s Tuesday and I need this week to end NOW.
Glad you’re home safe and sound gigity. May you have some well deserved and well earned downtime soonest.
Hot turkey 'n cheese with chips and a cookie for N.O.L. 'Twas good. Baked poke chops with some kind of tbd vegetative matter will be dindin tonight.
Now back to irk.
I made my first batch of gingersnaps this past weekend - they’re good, but **FCD **said they taste more like his mother’s molasses cookies. I did kinda goof and overdo the molasses, but they are good cookies! 
But I didn’t take them to your work… or to my work, for that matter.
We went out for lunch, and I’m trying to get my brain back in gear. I found out I’m being yanked on to yet another project. rah.
Welcome back, tugig! Sounds like you had one hellacious weekend, and not in a good way.
My bro just emailed this to me - I had to share it:
Dat’s my bro!!!
apparently I am getting too fat while pregnant 
Hahahaha, excellent. 
N.O.T. was et and suprize, I had the chikken. It was delish AND I got a filet to take home for din-din! Jeanne’s filet was not done enough for her so she gave it to me and got the chicken. I have mushrooms at home so will saute a handful to go with the leftover beef. MOO!!!
Score WetOne!!! A nice hunk o’ beef to take home.
Apes whoever said that to you deserves horrible retribution.
MOOOOOOM HEE!
Well, ye olde hometowne is abuzz with excitatement! Remember last week when I mentioned the biiiiiig trial about a “prominent citizen” for child pornography? He’s been convicted of 64 counts against him including charges of possession of child pornography, evidence tampering and invasion of privacy. The judge revoked his bond and he will remain in jail until sentencin’ on February 12th. He claims he must have “accidentally” downloaded the porn when he was downloading old movies to play on the tv station he owned at the time. Ummmmm… :dubious: “Accidentally” downloaded videos and pictures of child pornography. Plus all the cameras mounted in the studio at crotch level, which is just skeevy. :eek:
This will be the talk of ye olde hometowne for months to come.
**Apes **- isn’t it amazing how everyone everywhere is an absolute authority on your pregnancy, despite how you may feel or what your doctor may say?? I suggest you respond to moronic comments thusly: BITE ME! 
Time to go home. Yay!
I was thinkin’ about respondin’ to moronic comments like that with a two by four or a baseball bat with a spike in it but BITE ME works as well.
Leg: CRAMP!
me: …
Leg: Oh, I’m sorry; were you sleeping? Go ahead, it’s okay.
me: …
Other leg: is he asleep yet?
Leg: I dunno, let me check…
Leg: cramp
me: !
Back from my walk, or should I say drag.
I left out of here, bright and sunny, I’m even wearing shorts - but that’s more because I need to do laundry - but it was still warm enough out that I was comfortable. I get a few little sprinkles on the windshield. I didn’t know it was supposed to rain. As soon as I pull up in front of hell pup’s house it starts pouring and the wind is blowing and my truck is rocking!!! WTH!!!
I run in the house and put the pups out and figure I’m not walking the hell pup in this… and a few minutes later I look up and the sun is shining, no rain, no wind. So hell pup got her walk.
FCM I like the way your brother thinks
I worked with a guy who thought the solution to drunk driving was to have a bar on every corner so people could walk to and from.
Apes My friend knew a woman who used to tell people not to mess with pregnant women because it’s legal for them to stab you. Personally I think people who mess with pregnant women deserve whatever they get. You keep sticking your hand in the tiger’s cage you can’t blame the tiger for ripping it off!
