I’m pretty sure if you’d asked here, we could have told you dropping a car on your hand wouldn’t be a lot of fun.
The dining room has been put back together. I made a big batch of sketty sauce. I’s tahred!!
Worked, came home, beer. More of all three tomorrow.
Enjoy the family place, Midget!
I don’t have any prehistory creatures. I do have Bob The Demon Bunny.
Damn near forgot to post today. Sleeping in until 0930 in the morning throws me off my game.
Reviewed the bid for the remodeling of kitchen and bathrooms, and while it’s a bit higher than I planned, I think I’m going to go ahead and accept it, the guy obviously has done his homework and attached the bids for the materials I chose, along with a number of other details, so he is serious about this, no fly-by-night operator.
Also cut some checks for my annual donations, going to Public TV, NPR, and my High School Soccer team (the kids get charged $75 just to play, due to financial problems in the school district; we alumni have been picking up the tab for the kids for the past 10-12 years).
Jennshark, dropping things on one hands is never a good idea. Hope you’re doing OK.
Juliet, let me know what you do on the glasses-cleaning thing; I usually just wipe them with my finger and hope they dry out in the car.
Sari, your adventures with animals are always a source of interest to me, beings sans pets myself.
gotti, Jehovah Witnesses, I presume?
Nut, sounds like your cow-orker is a real piece of work (as in not doing any). Hang in there.
FCM, if your crew would like to take a stab at cleaning my house…
That’s what he wants you to believe.
G-d bless you.
I got out of irk around 2 this afternoon. I bought groceries, stopped at the pharmacy, took Nelson to the dog park where he had a good romp with a Jack Russell mix puppy and let Popeye cook supper. I’s tahred!
Tomorrow I’ll put in a couple of hours packaging diapers with the Diaper Connection ( https://www.nashvillediaperconnection.org/ ) that’s always a fun project. Sunday, I’ll have coffee with the Freethinker group a few miles down the road. I may also head out to the Fun at the Farm event later in the day with that group and take Nelson. He’ll get to play with a few other dogs if we go. If it’s too hot for a bunch of time outdoors, we’ll stay in under the AC.
Howdy Y’all! Did an early sup and then mowed the yahd over to the church house for three hours. Anywho all the front forty is done, so there’s that. TWPTB threaten a sixty percent chance of rain tomorrow. Should that be the case, hope it holds off until we get the back forty done. At least it’s all purty in front of the church and around the buildin’s.
I shall betake myself to beddy bye. I’s tahrd!
Nitey Nite Y’all!
I was too tired to get anything done today. It’s the same every day. And the fucking renovation noise. I just don’t know what to do anymore. Every day of my life is a waste. Too depressed for words.
Wow! You must have big ears; I didn’t even hear him sneeze.
Took a dino for a popcorn dinner. The Insects were, ummm, interestin’.
Have to be on the road by 4am, so I might not do the race on Sunday, for which I’d have to leave about the same time. I wanna, but not iffn I’s exhasusterated. Don’t know when/if I’ll post in this one again, so don’t be a clown.
My goodness, Emily, you swore! I did not know that Canadians cursed, particularly you!
I am shaken to the very core!
:dubious:
I’m so depressed that I can’t get anything done anymore. I can’t live my life anymore. I don’t even know if I want to live anymore. I think I have the right to swear.
Yes you want to live. And swear as much as you want.
EmilyG, please take care of yourself. I wish you only the best. I hope you get to cool off, today, and get some of your work done. Take time for yourself, as well.
As for things around my neck-of-the-woods, well, it’s going to be a hot, humid, miserable damned day. I’m having some more wicked kidney stone issues. ALL of the issues. I’m miserable. I need to find a real doctor, though. The witchdoctor that I see now, is just NOT helping me. At all. My scans showed multiple stones, in various areas of the kidneys, and in the bladder. They gave me an Rx for a worthless, so-called ‘pain medicine’. It might not be worthless to others, but, to me? Yeah. Absolutely worthless stuff. Something called Ketorolac. 10mg. I’m going to take aspirin, and see if that will help more. I DO detest the ‘real’ narcotic pain meds, as they make me vomit. So, I guess I’m stuck with these things, and aspirin. Bah.
I REALLY don’t have time for this crap. I have things to do, damnit.
I’m a very firm believer in the fact that once you slow down, and stop doing what you always do, you’re as good as dead. So, I keep going. I keep moving.
I’ve started some laundry, and put on a big pot of what will be chicken stock. I hope to make chicken soup, tomorrow, and get it pressure canned. We’ll see how that works out. I still predict carnage. At least my husband is home this weekend, and he can help me deal with my fear of the pressure canner. As in, ‘I’ll watch from the other room, peeking around the corner, with my fingers in my ears, in case of an explosion.’
Yeah, I’m weird like that.
Happy Saturday!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 76 Amurrkin out and clear (dark, actually) with a predicted high of 91 with rain/tstorms/apocalypse this afternoon/evenin’. Hopefully this will hold off until we complete mowage at the church house. We should get it all finished by noonish. Sloth to ensue afterwards. We had a tstorm overnight that caused a power belch (power fart?). The doorbell at the door leadin’ from the garage to the kitchen is wireless and is LOUD. The power blip caused it to ring and woke me up around oneish this mornin’. Of course I went right back to sleep but still, not a sound one wants to be awakened to in the night.
{{{Midget}}} hang in there! Like doggio said, yes you do want to live. Come in here and vent, rant, rave, cuss, or whatever it takes, OK?
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, onward into the day. Rah.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
I’m awake and I’ve even brushed my teeth, but I continue to lie abed. 
Just for another hour or so…
We need rain but there’s none in the forecast. Dammit.
Tomorrow, daughter, SIL, and Roxy head to Lancaster. Daughter will be taking a Solidworks class and SIL will tend to Roxy. We’re hoping SIL’s bro will stay here and tend to their critters, but dunno. They’ll be back Thurs night.
Today is, of course, laundry day, plus I hope to get more of the carpet cleaned. Any other plans will be unplanned… um… yeah.
Happy Saturday!!!
Why am I up at 5:30? Probably because I did nothing yesterday except watch 11 hours of tennis. I irked a few hours then came home. This sinus infection is just kicking my butt. I’m not tired, just fatigued. More tennis today, then I hope to visit Ariel.
Midget, I know how it is. After my first horse transitioned and my brothers died within 3 months, I just wanted the pain to stop. I started antidepressants and grief therapy. It took time but I finally got out of the place of despair. Hang on and remember that we care.
Happy Saturday!
It’s going to be another hot, N.O.S. day today.
I woke up too early, got some stuff done around here, and now I’m thinking about going back to bed. I am very very grumpy from lack of sleep. The cat is in the basement, the dog is napping after his morning brattiness, the house is quiet.
I ordered a patio chair for out back so I can be comfortable while sitting outside with the critters. I’ll wait on getting a set. there’s only two of us and my son never sits outside anyway.
Hang in there {{{Midget}}}.
{{{Midget}}} Life sucks sometime; just hang in there and keep looking for the things that make you smile. I’d offer to host you until the renovations are done, but since I live about 900 miles away, it would make getting to work and making music practice a bit difficult…
Only a 20% chance of rain today, if it doesn’t rain tomorrow I’ll have to turn the sprinklers on.
Spending the afternoon registering youth soccer players for the Fall season, which starts in late August and runs (with tournaments) until mid-November.
Downloaded my China pictures, now just need the energy to go through them all…and remember why I took them in the first place…
**MetalMouse **- I’m the same way with photos. And it doesn’t help that I’m a lousy photographer anyway, but that’s another story. I look forward to seeing what you’ll post.
Speaking of photos, my daughter took some close-ups of a tiny praying mantis on a tiger lily. She’s posted them on her FB photo page - if anyone wants the link, PM me. It’s a public page, but I’m not going to spam the MMP, because I’m nice, dammit!
On my recent trip to Edinburgh I took approximately 20 pictures mainly of food, with my phone. Patti took over 2,000 which her husband put on a thumb drive for me. There are over 200 of the Stones concert. Start the slide show…
You surely do.
