Alas neither. Camping at Mothers, as she has galloping dementia, a thyroid set to 17, zero appetite, and anything after the Truman administration is VERY hazy.
Alien, no hugs, but all the (non-corporeal) support I can offer. Ain’t easy, the job you’ve got.
Soccer practice ended with me being upset, worked on several things I wanted the girls to do, and then we scrimmaged another team and they forgot everything I had spend 50 minutes teaching them. Spoke to them in my “low-pitched, I mean business” voice afterward and we’ll see if it had any effect. Now I’m upset because i might have upset some 9 year old girls. Life is strange.
MetalMouse they’re 9; try not to take it too seriously. Set smaller goals maybe? Think of them like puppies: They mean well, but they’re not going to get it right for a while.
** blurfage** why am I awake so damn early? I can sleep until 7 and still have plenty of time to get to irk but here I am awake at the ungodly hour of 5 ish AM. Blurfage. Maybe I will try for another hour or so.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 54 Amurrkin out with clear skies (I see stars!) with a predicted high of 85 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. I shall lay in provisions this mornin’. We shall sup upon fried chikin, peas ‘n butterbeans with okra, mac ‘n cheese and bizkits this evenin’. I got a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for some down home food. I figure that will be enough to keep me out of trouble today. Oh and I need to take care of a couple of errands whilst out and about.
Thanks for all the condolences y’all. It’s sad but Miss Becky is in a better place now. {{{Alien}}} I’ve been where you are now. Takin’ care of agin’ and ill parents is tough. Hang in there!
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, since I shall venture out amongst the public I suppose I should purtify and don appropriate goin’ about the general public attire. Life can be such a bother! 
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work.

I just woke a little bit ago! Yay for sleeping past 5!
RoxStar should be discharged today and the new family will head home. We’re going to to Garlits drag racing musuem. Rah.
Happy Wednesday for reals this time!
Happy Hump Day!
Almost overslept this morning. Logged into irk just in time.
The sun is shining, but it’s only 37 degrees outside.

Morning all. got up at 0630 but did get right to doing the laundry and have the second load already in the machine, so go me! Back up into the 70’s F today, so my heater gets a rest.
Sunny, I know that they are only 9 (some are 8), it just frustrating sometimes; with 5 year olds I don’t expect them to remember anything, but other girls seem to get it, so why not them. Then I think it’s because I’m coaching them wrong or not reaching them, and…coaching kids is not for the weak of heart.
FCM, new grand-baby and a drag-racing museum; you live an interesting life.
Upon further review, I was wrong (blame late hours and general grumpiness): {{{Alien}}} for all the good you are doing.
Have broken fast and now need to go wash dishes and pay bills (oh joy).
[B{{{{{Swampy, JDD and Sis}}}}}** - sorry to hear of Miss Becky’s passing, sounds like it was peaceful and possibly just the way we would all like it to end.
{{{{{Alien}}}}}
Back from the Don Garlits museum. It didn’t totally suck.
This is what I am imagin’ GrandMOOOOOOM saw today. 
My mind is a strange and wonderful place.
So it was kind of a drag?

Hey!
I’m trying to sleep at my desk here!
Keep it down to a dull roar.
Yes, swampy, it was exactly like that. :D:D:D
Being a major slug this afternoon - reading, crocheting, chilling. There’s a WWII movie on TV with lots of hokey singing and dialog. I am so ready to go home.
Launches Patriot missile*
- The one I have from Think Geek is slightly different - a army green square w/ four missiles; however, they no longer sell it & I can’t find a picture of it online.
Got a call from the IRS threatening legal action.
They said I hadn’t paid my taxes since 2013. I said why would I pay taxes in 2013 when I was only 13 years old?
He said the sudt department sent him my info that I hadn’t paid, I said he needed to get the audit department to check there records because what was I supposed to file for, my $5 week allowance?
Then I called him some choice names, told him to go scam somebody else.
Assholes, they have been calling me 2-3 times a day everyday for almost a week.
I think I need to call them 2-3 times a day everyday for a week.
If anybody wants their number let me know, you can call them 2-3 times a day too.
Saw my psychiatrist yesterday. He increased my depression meds. (Probably no surprise to anyone here that I’m a little mental and on meds.)
This morning I went to a torture session, um, I mean a dentist appointment and tooth cleaning. Apart from the discomfort, it went well. The dentist says my teeth are fine, so that’s good.
Rehearsal tonight.
{{Midget}}. Hope the meds help. I have my session in ‘the chair’ next week. (You do know that the D.D.S. after dentists names means “Dey Died Screaming?”)
swampy, don’t ever change.
Laundry is completed and put away and I awarded myself with a nap. Need to dress soon and go watch some of the 5-year olds whose division I coordinate play soccer (one of the few times I get to see them and anyone who can be grumpy around 10-12 5 year old girls is someone I don’t care to know).
I am finishing my lovely lunch of ice cream. Sometimes you just gotta do it.
I did not get my taxes done, but I did get my extension filed. We’re missing a few documents. It looks like we’re getting a refund, but I won’t know for sure until I get the docs.
Metal Mouse you’re right. Kids are fun/exasperating/frustrating/exhausting. Sorry this bunch is harder to crack. Do you think they’d be receptive some kind of reward? Stickers or candy or ?? Something quick and easy for doing the right thing. Kind of like clicker training for kids.
