(Old) You Get A Gold Star In The MMP

Glad to hear it! Mobility is great.

My training is on the 21st at 2. The paperwork I got said it was both a Democrat and Republican primary in June. This will be my second year. I volunteered for Pollbook officer but didn’t get assigned to that. It’s probably going to be too small of a turnout to need more than two.

They serve anyone with the money.

Not naggy, but he gets more zoomies.

An early late night final from me, but feeling a bit tired and may turn in early tonight. Dinner has been dined on and a Pepsi Zero and crackers will be my late-night snackage, so that much at least is planned. Got the license renewal done on-line, saved myself $2 if I had mailed it or a trip to the office, so there is that. May be getting a new plate this year, and just noticed my drivers license expires the day after I get back from my vacation, so might see if I can renew that early. The rain has gone away for awhile so a quite night should be in store.

And the last scroll of the day…

JtC, I’m more like Hubs on the ice cream front. Checked a couple containers while shopping Firday, the amount of calories is high for a size that will not be more than one serving for me, so I reluctantly passed on it. Like potato chips and french fries, if it ain’t in my house I can’t be tempted to overinduldge (now the big canister of cheese balls,).

rocky, not only do scrapes hurt, they seem to take forever to disappear as we age. Take care. And how do the cats do with the loud thunder-booms?

And that’s all I wrote. Catch you sometime tomorrow.

I saw a Dr. Pepper blackberry in the store.

Finaly installed the last of the donor planks on the boat.

I think there may be a few more coming, but otherwise, I’m done with the boat. Thank og.

Man am I pooped. I didn’t close, per se, but it was still as long of a shift as last night’s Long Night.

I wonder how long they’ll keep me tomorrow & if it’ll be enough to push me into O.T. :money_bag:

I got two whole hours of it last week and certainly did not mind the modest pay bump. (On the other hand, my tiny living room looks like hot trash right now as a result.)

I kept promising myself I’d do … something … after work, since I was leaving at midnight like Cinderella, but that promise was made hours ago, and I don’t think imma keep it.


Oh, and thank you to whoever posted the link for the weighted blanket. Was it @Misnomer perhaps?
Mine arrived already and is quite nice, should be perfect for summer.

Matter of fact, I coulda gone bigger (or gone home!) and much heavier, so I might even get another!

I have … questions.

Like, are you talking about the fruit, or the wireless tech?

Flavored pop.

Fellowship night. Churchwife and I went, but only one other person was there aside from the host and hostess and their youngest daughter. Good burgers, and only one bit of God talk (a prayer before eating). The hose is a guitarist in the church’s ‘worship band’, and his wife is a vocalist.

The host’s wife is home schooling their daughters. She was happy to have found a Chemistry text. I’ve had some old texts laying around here literally gathering dust, so I put them into the Jeep in case she can use them. There’s Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Intermediate Algebra Student Answer Guide, and a couple of books on Organic and General Chemistry. I hope she can use them.

Now that’s a curse!

The weather knows you washed your winter comforter. Stay warm!

That’s fantastic!

Sounds yummy!

The Swiss railway has a 2 for 1 deal, so we’re on a train to the southern part. I think it’s our first time through the basis tunnel since it reopened.

Takes 20 minutes to go through the tunnel, v. 6 minutes through the upper tunnel. And it saves 1 hour travel time.

Nice lazy day after yesterday’s exertions.

Happy Sunday!

And May the Fourth be with you. :star_struck:

Good Morning Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 63 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 78 and N.O.S. I think it rained overnight. The big item on today’s agenda is deheathenization in which I have Chalice duty, followed by first Sunday brunch. I have to make the corn casserole as well but that’s not a biggie as it can bake whilst I purtify. The rest of the day will be spent in high RDOS Inactivities.

Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then purtification and casserole makeage must commence.

Happy Sunday Y’all! Happy Star Wars Day! May the force be with you!

Lesson learned - if you’re going to be on your feet all day, wear shoes with decent support. I donned a pair of my don’t-care-if-they-get-messed-up shoes the last 2 days and by last night, my feets were dying!! Even this morning, my walk is reminiscent of Tim Conway doing the old man. Not as much shuffling, but still, small, tentative steps. I will wear proper shoes today.

We got some rain a bit before sunrise - I woke around 5 and heard it coming down. Not much more in the forecast, but it will stay mostly overcast. Definitely a day to enjoy the indoors.

Daughter sent me a photo last night of the clubhouse with the lights on - just as bright as day even after sundown. So huzzah! She took the kids to visit their dad in the hospital, then took them to the Leonardtown Wharf (a waterfront park on Breton Bay.) Apparently at one point, Roxy organized half the kids on the playground in a game of Pirates - she being the captain. That girl is going to be formidable one day.

We were watching a police procedural made in Sweden and dubbed in English. I’m hoping in Swedish the acting came across better, because the dubbed voices didn’t quite match the facial expressions. At least it’s not subtitles, but in that case, we wouldn’t have watched anyway - too hard to read and follow the action at once.

No plans yet for today, apart from proper footwear. I do need to run the dishwasher, but that hardly counts - a few more items need to go in , then I push a button. And I should plan a decent supper, but there’s still time.

So Happy Sunday!

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off today. It’s rainy and 64 degrees Ferret Height(17.8 Centipedes) The usual cleaning and sloth shall commence after coffee.

I still gotta get around to buying that Innsmouth Swim Team hoodie

Went to bed a bit after 3, woke … a bit after 7. (Precisely 4 hours.)

Short shift this afternoon. Fine by me!

And May the Fourth be with you. :star_struck:

Its a nice meme but may people never forget what happened in 1970.

Good morning all. Up and have gotten my Sunday NY Times, solved 4 of 5 Spider Solitaire games, ate a banana and got my driver’s license renewed on-line all before 8am, so feeling rather good about myself. Could have waited a couple months on the license, but since it was in my head at this time figured best do it now and not at the last minute. Now for several hours of internettin’ before heading to Logan’s Roadhouse for their grilled meatloaf for Sunday Dinner.

It’s 52F and only getting to the mid-60’s today, so not quite time to put away my jacket for the season. At least the rain is gone so things can start drying out.

Van Go, you hope your done with the boat…just as long as Mr. Murphy doesn’t come for a visit… :scream:

Dicey, would like to travel through that tunnel someday, have been through the Chunnel tunnel before but really do need to explore Europe some.

swampy, happy Chalicing.

FCM, hope the feet get feeling better; been there, hobbled that…

I attended Kent State University 1971-1975. Know what you mean.

May the fourth be with you!

Stainless steel rat, the cats do well with thunder, until it is directly over head, then they startle. Fun fact cat purr and thunder rumble have a similar hertz range. Hhhhmmm, now that has me wondering if that is why it bothers dogs so much…big scary cat sound.

At 10 storys up I’m more concerned with a stray bit of lightening coming in the window. Spooky lightening stories now.

Before my mother was married, she was looking out the window at a storm, and a wisp of lightening went past her. It wasn’t the main strike, that was yards away, just a small branch off the main strike. She felt the heat as it went by. When she would tell the story it was more a sense of wonder than fright.

Years later and around 9 year me.

My mother cleaned the dining room chandelier one year, it had a 3 way bulb in it. It wasn’t crystal, it was 60’s milk glass. She took it apart washed the glass bits and put it back together. The light did not work. Could not get it to turn on. Called my electrician uncle, he could not get it to work. Everything was fine, the bulb would not light. My uncle, father, and another uncle were frustrated and would try various things throughout a few years, nothing worked.

Then one Saturday afternoon there was a pop up thunderstorm. Mum was in the kitchen, dad and I were in the living room. Big crack overhead, and bright flash in the room. A wisp of lightning came in the dining room window and hit the chandelier. the chandelier went swinging and the light went on! I saw the strike, my dad had his back to it, my mum came around the kitchen wall. I had made a yelp and was pointing at the light. Electrician uncle (row homes, he was 3 doors away) was summoned. Other uncle was just over the city border and was called after the storm ( don’t use phones during storms!). Electrician uncle was amazed nothing melted. The light worked perfectly after that.

My father told me a not happy lightening story about how a lightening strike that set his bedroom on fire as a young child. He grew up in Nebraska. Storms are way scarier there. He wasn’t in the room because they were in the storm cellar.

Due to Dad’s and mum’s story and later the dining room incident, I have a very healthy “thing” about windows and storms. Koritza likes watching storms at the windows. We have words about her doing this.

The boo-boo is getting better, it is not red, hot, and angry. I get infections at the first drop of blood. The foot doctor had given me a wound care gel when I had the foot injury. It has worked well on the boo-boo. It looks lots better today. Pink instead of red, and normal temperature, not as owie today.

Up, caffeinating, breakfasted and fixing to do KP. After, I’ll get sheveled and get to Kroger before church lets out.

Stay safe and healthy y’all!

Good morning.

It’s 45°F and mostly cloudy outside. Our expected high temperature is around 64°F, with partly cloudy skies.

I immediately go to options and change the audio language to the language in which the show was created. They’re so much better that way.

Yesterday, I did some more yard work; my yard waste bin is full. I have enough room to put the grass clippings in when I mow today. I should probably knock out the laundry today, too.

Other than that, I don’t have much of anything on the agenda. Take care.

taters - that wouldn’t work for us - we don’t speak Swedish!
