It got me. Daylight savings. I pride myself on never making a big deal over the time change. I always make sure all my clocks are reset and just go about my day. Yesterday I realized that I reset all my clocks but forgot to reset my watch, so I started shutting down at work an hour ahead of time wondering why nobody else was getting their shit together. It took me a half an hour to figure it out.
I work in doggy-daycare and I’m sitting there wondering where all the pet parents are and why have 15 late pick ups.
The 100s weren’t bad today. Of course I get sent over to Secondary sort to help fix that mess, then to the mess at the 300 Slide. And it looked like the 200 feed belt broke.. Now it’s naptime, and an evening of hockey, and election doomscrolling.
When the railroad redid the one crossing I drive home over, they made it into a speed hump. Except the back half was more of a speed cliff. They fixed that a couple of weeks later.
Voting has been completed, there was about a 25-minute line, but considering this was 10am and this is a very Red State, I was a bit surprised by the turnout. Don’t expect any surprises, but you never know…
Rain is now a bit more serious, just had a bag of pretzels (need to get rid of the overage of snacks around the house) and will head over to the gym in a little bit to get my pedaling to nowhere done.
BBBoo, yeah, the line was quiet and patient, even with some rain in the air, no issues. Hope it remains a quiet day.
J-Bats, had to grin at your story; like I mentioned last Sunday in the MMP, I got the soccer fields for my refereeing job an hour early because I completely forgot to reset any of my clocks.
FCM, glad box has arrived. Got the Cook’s Pest Control guy outside now checking for pests.
And now to the gym…or maybe more snacks, so hard to decide…
Looks to be about 80 today, though my hair blowing everywhere.
I had spaghetti for lunch.
Yesterday something funny happened.
Anyone who remembers my ex, with MS, he called yesterday.
We like to talk about KillTony.
He had last called in May.
I told him I was done having any kind of sex until I’m married.
Thats not why I’m calling he says.
Hour later he calls back and wants to marry me.
Well ya had your chance awhile ago, you didn’t want it Official ( government paperwork) so no thanks.
my sandwich was befouled by vegetation. argh! i list the ingredients by how you build a sandwich:
rye bread
mayo
turkey
american cheese
i did NOT say tomato, i did NOT say lettuce. argh! lettuce is a well behaved thing, tomatoes are not. i removed the offending vegetation, the tomato has left… residue…le sigh.
This morning I was up early and drove to my polling place so I could be first in line. Don’t know why, but I did it. I am looking forward someday to comparing voting notes with my grandmother. Its not something you talk about beforetime.
Howdy Y’all! Laundry got laundered and put where it lives until it gets dirty again. We napped and day drank. We had early sup and are now chillaxin’. Netflix, chill and popcorn time in a little while.
BBBoo and Oopsie hope your poll worker day is goin’ well. Again thanks for doin’ that. It’s a little after four p.m. here, so I imagine the local poll workers are gearin’ up for the post irk rush.
It’s been gloomy was on and off rain all day. Right now the rain is definitely on. However, it’s not cold. The air conditioning went on a little while ago. I braised beef short ribs in the crockpot and the smell is totally yummy. This is the first day I’ve had a decent appetite in 10 days. I think the school down the street is a pulling place but since I haven’t been out today, I couldn’t tell you how the lines are. I am not watching the news perhaps for four more years. Tomorrow my furnace is being replaced. There goes the cost of a European vacation.
Awwww. It sounds like she’s beginning to acclimate to her new home.
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Dayum, VanGo!
I hope that your election work is going well boo, oopsie and seanette!
Irked, got home about 5 minutes earlier than usual because school was out today (the school zone goes on for .5 mile @15 mph, so it slows me down). While I was walking Nelson, I was talking to my neighbor of 7+ years in the next building. He mentioned that his mom was fixing to retire. Oy, he’s waaaaaaaay younger than he looks, given that she’s retiring at 65. I would have guessed James to be in his 50s.
I had a weird dream right before I woke up this morning and for whatever reason, I remembered it (I don’t often remember dreams). I dreamt that my dad and I were fixing to go somewhere (in the dream, Dad looked like he did in his 50s), but I needed to go back into his house to get both packs of our cigarettes from on top of Mom’s old avocado Maytag set. Thing is, I haven’t smoked for 10+ years and Dad for ~45-50.
I was first in line, but not by much. And I took longer to fill out the ballot, so I was about fourth to vote. But like I said , I hope my grandmother knows, and that someday we can talk about it.
I play a lot of random games I download on google play, and when you get free games, you also get ads. A popular one seems to be for weight loss gummies, and I just saw one that promised a 120# weight loss in 60 days. Um, sure.
First off, if the “before” woman was to lose that much weight, she’d be down to about 40 or 50#. Secondly, even if she’d lost a bunch of weight in 60 days, there’s no way she’d also transform into the hardbody “after” woman. Skin doesn’t un-stretch that fast, if that completely. Third, the ad showed Dr. Oz - if that doesn’t scream scam…
Previous incarnations of that gummy ad have had Oprah, Kelly Clarkson, and a bunch of the Shark Tank folks. And they always say “Last chance to get your free bottle!” I assume they’re successful at fleecing the gullible since I’ve been seeing them for years. It’s obscene.
But I’m too frugal to pay for ad free games, so I shall continue to see these stupid things. At least they don’t seem to run political ads.
Oh do I feel your pain. Contamination is a real thing. Yuck.
Well, we’ve been to Zanesville and back. The good news is that he’s fairly certain that I do not have TD. But I do have (drumroll please…) anxiety! I’m to tired to go into the whole explanation now, but I am comfortable with what he said.
The ramp project people are showing up tomorrow at my house and building a ramp to my back door (for free)! So, I just jumped on to say hey and now I’m going to head back into the kitchen to prepare some snacks for the wonderful volunteers!
Evening all. Pedaled 1,300 calories away according to the bike computers, so any snackage will be (relatively) guilt-free. Am having the usual Mac-n-Cheese bowl for Tuesday and will spend most of the night on the SDMB in the election-day thread, with occasion forays to the NY Times vote reportage. Have actually put some stuff away and hung up some clothes so that is industrious enough for a 2sday.
rocky, I most humbly dissent, I like lettuce and tomato (and pickles) on my sammiches. But different tastes…
VanGo, you’ve been having a Charlie Brown “Good Grief” week so far.
{{wet one}}, glad for your appetite returning, sad for the furnace cost.
FCM, It’s taken me about 3 years to lose 90lbs, of course I wasn’t using any plan or ‘special’ gummies, just exercise and watching my calories.
lily, pizza and scotch whiskey; sounds perfect for election night…
And on to the Dope’s election thread; If I’m not back by tomorrow send lawyers, guns and money…
I was out taking pictures today and stopped into the liquor store. I usually get the 750ml Evan Williams Bottled-In-Bond 100 proof Kentucky bourbon, but today I bought a 1.75 litre bottle of the 86 proof. Depending on how the election goes, I’ll either celebrate or brood.
There was an incident involving a handle of Evan, me, and 2 other guys back in the 20th Century. It took 20 years before I was able to touch brown liquor again.
(This post is a wee bit late, but I didn’t have time to write it this morning.)
Snoutcounting Day! Another exciting 15-hour day at the polls, started off by being awakened two hours early by a couple of cats having a disagreement right outside my bedroom door and then being unable to get back to sleep.
And for our friends across the pond, “I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.” Happy day!
They are aggravating AF.
