I suspected that the dude from the phone company who’d told me I was getting my router by mail was wrong, and indeed he was: it’s via a courier. When I got the SMS telling me I’d be getting it today, I called to ask whether they could deliver it today after 6 or tomorrow after 2pm, and they said it would be today after 6, yay.
I just got a call from the guy doing the delivery, he had to deliver another router to my building and the neighbor said she’d hold mine if I agreed so he wouldn’t need to come over just for that. I thanked “both of you!” and re-yay for good courier companies and good neighbors.
So I should have internet today and I’m getting my bed and the two butane bottles tomorrow. The heater is the only thing that uses butane, and given our current maxes of 36-40 I haven’t missed it (if I shower when I get home, the “cold” water is actually a bit too hot), but still it is better to have it.
Bubba is still in his crate asleep this morning. I turned the light on and woke him up to make sure he was ok. Poor boy. It didn’t look like he’d left us any presents in there, though, so that’s good.
Good for you, doggio! That’s how I met TVMan oh so many years ago.
Well, I was going to whine about tripping last night and landing on my knees (yee-outch!), but I just found out a tornadie missed my sister last night by about two miles. She was without power for a while, and still doesn’t have a landline phone, but all are well, and her only personal damage is the need to fish the lawn furniture from the pool. Third time for furniture fishing in 2 weeks, too.
She said the flying monkeys were out in force.
Linky to the local rag, iff’n you’re interested. After hearing about it, I’m wide awake. No blurfs today.
Thank you for the birthday wish, my Spanish is a little rusty, but I got the gist. Most of my Spanish is medical anyway. I can order a drink, find the bathroom and tell you to take a deep breath. What more would I need?
Thank all of you for the birthday wishes. The weather has turned down again, so the 'Vette is back in the garage. We ride the not-so-grand F150 today. I feel a bit like Cinderella after midnight. (Now where IS that shoe?)
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffienated, purtified and just finished cubin’ up some chicken boobs to make chicken nachos for dindin tonight. I boiled 'em with some N.O.H. so I have chicken broth also.
gt prayers and good thoughts headed out to faraway best friend’s son.
StickyBuns prayers and good thoughts for Bubba too. Hope he’s better.
Have a nice trip, bobbio? (Okay, sorry, that was lame.)
My watchband on my cheapo Target watch is broken so I mentioned to Mr. Anachi that I was probably gonna replace it tomorrow when I get out of work early. He was very disappointed because he’d ordered a new watch for me and he wanted to surprise me. Awwwwwwwwwww.
That was sort of unexpected. All this time, I was waiting for Swampy to say I lied, the real reason my knees hurt was because I was on them begging VWife to give me some.
Well, now, that’s just gettin’ into fantasy world ain’t it!
I forgot to mention my big news! I went to the local produce stand and got two watermelons, one regular and one seedless and two really nice canteloupes. All locally grown! The canteloupe is teh num! I usually don’t eat it unless it’s cold but I et me two slices of it when I cut it up just cause it smelled soooooo good! OYKW lurves him some canteloupe so he’ll be all happy.
Heh. He’s gettin’ the chicken nachos he requested for dindin plus I have fresh canteloupe for him. Guess we know who’ll get “appreciated”!
Hot hot hot here - 99 at Nat’l Airport and 100 at BWI. There’s a line of t-storms moving our way, but they’re moving so fast, I don’t hold out much hope for good rain. Oh well.
Our vacation clothes arrived - shorts and shirts - YAY! I need to wash them all to get that new-clothes smell out. I expect to do lots of laundry this weekend. And a week from today, we’ll be going to Mom’s for the night before heading farther north.
Hot dogs for supper. And Amish corn on the cob. I should probably get into the kitchen and get it all started…
