Serious Insomnia: the MMP

My offer got accepted!
YAY!

Home inspection on Friday.

Both of the HFH went out.

All in all turning out to be a nice day!
and we don’t even have the humidy.

I kind of figured out what I didn’t like about this house and it’s because the same person owns both sides of the duplex. They are mirror images of each other right down to the landscaping. I don’t want to look like a bookend, but I can change what I want.

Oh well, can’t get ahead of myself, have to get through the inspection first.

I have some sleep issues before major events – taking off for a couple weeks roaming, the night before Cook Forest, stuff like that. I hate to admit it but I have some chemical help from my doctor when that does happen so it doesn’t screw my BP and everything else.

And anyone who kills Conan has my vote for an Golden Globe at the least.

**sari **- Huzzah!! Fingers crossed for a good inspection! May your long nightmare soon be over!

Sheets are out on the line, whites are in the washer. They’re going into the dryer because I just don’t feel like futzing with each and every little item - there are soooooooo many socks!!

And Hall Electrical Services said let there be light! A light has been out in my orifice for the past three weeks. Hasn’t bothered me as it’s across from my desk. Hall Electrical Services (that’s what it says on the guy’s shirt) has rectified that this mornin’. Dang it’s bright in here!

So, natch, the first thing rosie does is go tell all of her whosoevers. :smiley:

Sari yay for offer bein’ accepted! Shall we cross appropriate/inappropriate appendages re the home inspection?

Swampy please cross everything that can be crossed!

I am afraid to get my hopes up.

: crosses appropriate and inappropriate appendages :

sari, is it time for the Snoopy Dance yet or is it still too soon?

doggio, you should check out Megashark vs. Crocasaurus featuring Jahleel White aka Urkel. He’s the hero.

I’ve gotten the laundry washed, a couple of books I needed at the bookstore (yes, needed), another skein of yarn and a steel darning needle at the craft store, and I rounded it off with some Bojangles because I’m starving. I don’t think I’ve been eating enough lately. Why I do not know. Perhaps I’m going mad.

I have slowly but surely managed to slog my way through a bunch of paperirk. Anywho, stuff is done and submitted. [del]Minion[/del] assistant is off to a small foray into the north forty to take an app on a new person. I am settin’ up some appointments for myself later in the week down in the extreme southeast forty. One of those counties is an almost day long trip unto itself cause it’s a ways to drive and mostly on two lane state highways. Rah.

Sallit and cantaloupe (can’t find my ladder) for N.O.L. Broiled poke chops, green beans and Spanish rice for dindin cause it’s good and a quick fix.

Two tons of pellets are stacked in the garage. Yay! The sheets that I hung on the lines are dry and I’ll take them down when I bring the whites up from the dryer. Lunch has been ingested (Ham and swiss on white.) That sounds like enough for one Monday, don’t you think?

**Spaz ** too soon for the Snoopy dance

but I am in a much better mood than I have been.

I’m looking at furniture, I’m thinking about cooking again,
Furniture for a Victorian House with pocket doors and tall windows and hardwood floors.
I don’t want stuffy or too formal but I want the furniture to match the style of the house.
I’m thinking about freedom to walk out of my room without worrying about where the hounds from hell are or having some kind of confrontation with the HFH.

Although truth be told they have been leaving me alone
Given sufficient motivation I can be a hell of a lot meaner than they are. I’d rather not because I think it’s stupid and childish but I’ve stopped getting mad and started getting even and they aren’t liking it.
Too f’ing bad.

Happy Moanday all,

I am back, sorry to have gone away but my life needed sorting. I have missed you all.

Some changes have been made, selling the motorcycle, bought a car, the finger kinda works, met a girl and I probably have a job with the Evil Empire.

Cheers

Jim

Whoa, **Jim **- details! We need details!!! Dang…

Well… May 17th I amputated the tip of my left hand index finger while at work, those who know me on FB have seen the pic. I was fortunate to get a World Class Plastic Surgeon who saved my finger, I have about 2/3 of my Distal Phalanx instead of SOP which is to remove to the next viable joint and sew it up. I will play Pearl again soon.

This spurred me to make some changes.

After sixteen years of self employment, I am taking a job that actually has insurance. I will soon start with the Evil Empire as a Production Manager. My touring days are probably done.

I bought a car because three years on two wheels is enough.

I have thrown myself into the dating world because four years single is enough.

I am growing a full beard because I want to and it is coming in mostly grey.

I came back to the SDMB because stupid is killing me.

Cheers

Jim

Jim that’s a whole lot of change there. Yay for the job (I reckon it’s a yay, right?), the new wheels (I’m sure it was tough givin’ up your bike), and yay on the new squeeze. Here’s hopin’ it’s all workin’ out for the best for ya.

The grey beard is ok. Just remember not to scream about the old man starin’ backatcha every time you look in a mirror. :smiley:

I am past ready for go home time. Been a slowish Moanday afternoon.

ETA: Yay for saved finger!

Baker, I had a good, timely topic to start us off this morning but you just haaaad to have insomnia, dinja? :dubious: I’ll let you make it up with an answer to my question. :wink:
Cake mix called for 2 egg whites, since I don’t bake much, I don’t own one of those “special” egg separators & accidentally got the whole egg in the mix. Any appreciable difference?
Congrats??? Sari

<Tacklehug> Welcome back! & if that’s the case, set the coordinates on the Sharkapult[sup]TM[/sup] for North Little Rock instead of Jawja & that should solve that problem. :wink:

I just spent the last thirty minutes separating worms from castings. I’ve transferred most of them to the second worm bin and I’ve got the first one drying outside before I bring it back in. I hope my tomatoes appreciate the castings I’ve given them and the worms that hid themselves too well for me to get them enjoy their newfound freedom.

Hopefully the worms won’t mind the newspaper and Life of Samuel Johnson mix I’ve got going in the second bin. I may add more newspaper next week just to even things out a bit.

I think I may need another cup of coffee.

Welcome home, Cap’n!

Take my wife, please!

You are probably going to die from botulism.
Can I have your DVDs?

Good luck with the new changes Jim. I know a lot of musicians who now have respectable lives, but hit the local clubs with their local bands (made up of other respectable types) on the weekends. But back in the day, they were traveling up and down the East Coast in their bands.
