Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 76 Amurrkin out and clear (well, dark) with a predicted high of 94 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. I pulled an all nightery. Yep, didn’t wake up even once to go pee! In a while I shall go mow da yahd at OYKW’s place and this evenin’ over to the church house for mowage. Sketties 'n meatballs, sallit, and garlic bread shall be supped upon. Maybe even some quality cee-mint pond time will be enjoyed.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
Awake but abed with my tablet. FCD wants to get up at 7 and I guess I’ll get up then. It’s carpet-cleaning day and with luck, I can also take Higgs to get her nails trimmed.
Dinner was delicious yesterday. Romeo made homemade biscuits and gravy. Romeo Jr. tried to paint the dining room wall with his gravy. Ah, the fun of having a 2-year-old.
Just need to get through irk today. It’s humid and rainy… and I have to go over to another plant midday today. Which means I have to come back midday… when it’s going to be raining. Ah, such is summer.
Tomorrow Romeo’s brother and sister-in-law get into town. They’re not arriving until later and Romeo’s working tomorrow anyway, so we’ll see them Sunday. Let’s see what new things she’s “intolerant” to this trip…
If you have any prehistoric creatures in your house, you have to take them out to a nice dinner on Friday the 13th, or else they will become angry and rampage through your house, creating a huge mess.Yanno, mebbe if you did too, you wouldn’t need to clean the carpets & sofas so often. Just sayin’.
We had a McBreakfast before **FCD **headed to his 8:30 meeting and I ran into Food Lion for a few things, followed by a stop for some Amish corn. The dishwasher just finished washing the dishes and I’m about to move the dining room furniture and start cleaning that carpet.
Good times, good times…
Today I should also probably clean the dog poop off my shoes. They’v been in the garage since Monday.
My hand is still hurting, but I don’t want to miss my autocross on Sunday. I ordered driving gloves so I can wear one on the hurt lefty for a bit of protection. If swelling and pain don’t improve over the next week I should probably have it looked at again (ER x ray last Friday = nothing broken).
Dining room carpet and most of the hall carpet have been cleaned. I need to get into 2 of the bedrooms to clean the carpet under the doors, but daughter and baby are sleeping. I can get that after they’re up.
SIL’s brother spent the night. I can’t believe we’ve got to tell them that his brother can’t live here… You’d think 30-somethings would have a clue.
Meanwhile, I’m sweating like crazy. After I cool down, I have a melon to slice up and I’d like to make a big batch of sketty sauce for the freezer. So much for a relaxing day off.
Back late from cleaning irk; got paired up with one of the obnoxious co-irkers. One of the perks there is getting to keep any left over food from the holiday cottages you clean- sometimes there’s nothing, sometimes there’s full cupboards, fridge and freezer of unopened stuff 'cos people are travelling some distance and can’t be bothered to take it home. This co-irker sneaks round everywhere on the cleaning list first and empties out all the goodies then hides them in her car before her partner gets in. Everyone knows she does it, we’ve all caught her at it, but she keeps accusing everyone else of doing it.
She also refers to anyone else she’s working with as ‘her little helper’, like she’s the real worker and they’re just her assistant, then directs them to do all the work. Hence the late finish. Gets me really grumpy having to work with her.
Firday the 13th don’t scare me. Ursala Kitteh is black, and Ariel is a red headed mare! Went to irk for an hour just to print some irk to,do,at home. My sinuses have improved, but that’s not saying much. I’m not tired, but have no energy. Watching Wimbledon semi finals now, finals on Saturday and Sunday.
It just started storming and I have to leave the building in 15 minutes to get to a meeting at another plant location. And I forgot my umbrella in the car.
So glad my shirt won’t turn see-through if it gets wet.
Ripple is being especially bratty today.
I can’t sit outside with him all day, I have things to do and my ass gets sore. My deck is lower than the porch and it makes the porch just the right height for me to sit on, but the bricks are hard. I’m debating ordering a chair for the deck or getting a patio set. Irk has picked up and I am making money again, but I am still leery of spending.
The cat caught a mouse this morning and fortunately I was right there so I could let him outside with it. I think it may have gotten away from him because Ripple was poking and diving into the grass.
Howdy Y’all! I mowed OYKW’s yahd (be glad when we unload that place) and have had some quality cee-mint pond time. I made up meatballs (ground beast and spicy poke sausage) for sketties ‘n meatballs. GrandMOOOOOOM I’ll be needin’ to make up some skettie sauce soon myself. I’m down to my last two containers in da freezer.
Managed not to get too soaked. But I realized one thing: I don’t have anything in my new car for drying off my glasses. In my old car, I almost always had Romeo Jr.'s diaper bag or a random shirt a kid left behind, or maybe some napkins. Since I bought the new car, I don’t have any of that random stuff in there. I want to keep it clean, damnit!
Task at home tonight: get a glasses drying implement of some sort to keep in the center console.
Leaving urgent care now, x ray doesn’t show fractures. Doc is concerned about the color and swelling of fingers, so getting antibiotics in case the skin break on my pinky introduced infection. Also suggested an urgent care ortho clinic, but it’s 60 miles away and I’m going to wait til tomorrow and assess. I actually don’t feel well, so going to bed for a few hours.
This is the last time I drop a car on my hand! It’s not as fun as I thought it would be.
In a while I shall go mow da yahd at OYKW’s place and this evenin’ over to the church house for mowage. Sketties 'n meatballs, sallit, and garlic bread shall be supped upon. Maybe even some quality cee-mint pond time will be enjoyed.
