Much to my surprise, shopping was a success! I came home with 4 pairs of pants, 3 shirts, and 1 sweater for $58! Uh, letā€™s not talk about how much one pair of shoes cost, though. šŸ˜› I still need a few more things, but it was definitely a good start. ---

Happy Firday! I need sleep, this waking up and not being able to go back to sleep is getting old. Itā€™s a dark 76 degrees. Dark because I am up too early and have been since 2:36. I get to watch PiddlePup today and tomorrow. **Swampy** , every time I see the Charminā€™ commercial with the bears I think of you. Yay for happy clothes shopping **Sticky**. I hate to shop. I think it is because my mother lives to shop and when I was a kid sheā€™d drag me from store to store and of course go back and buy the first thing she saw. **Spidey** forget the rodent and the oil, how are you at carrying boxes and furniture? ---

Holy crap, itā€™s humid out there!! When I took Higgs out this morning, I almost felt like I had to tread water in my own yard. It feels more like August, and Iā€™m hating it. ick. I was talking to my mom yesterday, and her travel agent - the one arranging our cruise - is trying to turn it into a group cruise. I assume that leads to better fares. So if any of you want to spend 4 weeks at sea next August/September, PM me and Iā€™ll get the info to you. šŸ˜ƒ One of my cousins plans to go if she can find a roomie - sheā€™s not bringing the grouch of a spousal unit with her, so yay!! šŸ˜ƒ Another couple of Momā€™s friends are also coming. On one hand, Iā€™m glad sheā€™ll have other people to entertain her. On the other, I hope weā€™re not saddled with them for every excursion. When we went to Bermuda last year with the inlaws, we had a very limited range of travel on land because his folks couldnā€™t handle the walking. I donā€™t want that when weā€™re going to so many cool places - I intend to see Stonehenge, dammit! Todayā€™s a random crab day, so I can try to monitor any of my crabbers - in fact, Iā€™m supposed to try to get as many as possible. So far, no one has logged in on as crabbing. \*\*FCD \*\*will be doing his own ā€œcrabbingā€ - he ordered crabs and snails for our aquarium and theyā€™re coming today. Speaking of the aquarium - it has a new feature - a corals shelf. \*\*FCD \*\*is making frags (short for fragments - starter pieces of coral on small bits of rock) of the various coral in the hopes of selling them. He was going to set up a separate tank, but for now, thereā€™s just a shelf with an assortment of corals growing on bits of rock. Weā€™ll see if it amounts to anything. Other than possible crabber trips today, I plan to finish the tea towels and deliver them to the store, plus Iā€™ll continue working on texting mitts. And I might even run a vacuum or even dust. :eek: Itā€™s going to be too icky outside to do otherwise. Happy Firday!! ---

Blurf. Didnā€™t get the room I was hoping for ā˜¹ Going to see someone later today to see about another, possibly two- Iā€™m not sure about the second, something about the guy seems a littleā€¦ off? I dunno. Anyway, I sā€™pose I should go do something. ---

I has a big blurf today. I am irked because I spent ages yesterday sourcing rooms for four additional seminar sessions that Iā€™m now told might not be needed. One problem is that they have a 9am seminar which two of the new tutors apparently cannot get here in time for. Then today I find out that one of them comes from the same place as me - if I can be here for 9am, why canā€™t she? I am feeling a mite hacked off with this job and will be pleased to leave. The 23rd canā€™t come round quick enough. In other news, I did not get the job I interviewed for on Tuesday and found that out by email today. Itā€™s almost as bad as getting dumped by text! However, I am off t get my hair cut tomorrow and Iā€™m visiting my doting parent on Sunday so I have stuff to look forward to. ---

Woohoo! Two crabbers today within an hour and 3 miles of each other!! Iā€™ll need to leave in about an hour anna half. I might have had 3, but one guy posted a short trip too late for me to get dressed and get to his landing site in time. Demā€™s da breaksā€¦ ---
