Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 72 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 96 for the day. Factor in the humidity and it feel like well over a hunnert degrees out by mid-afternoon.
{{{StickyBuns}}} hope the foot feels better today. Have fun rockin’ the museum!
Red the squirt gun parade reminds me of sump’n we did in the 80s in a bar. I’m sure y’all remember this musical gem The Homecoming Queen’s Got A Gun. Anywho, everyone at the bar was given a small water pistol filled with water (duh!). When the song played (several times durin’ the night) everybody ran around shootin’ at each other. ‘Twas a strange evenin’.
gt welcome back! Glad you had a good time.
Today I get to start off with a trip to the north forty. Thus, I am slackin’ a bit in da cave cause it’s easier to leave from here than go to the orifice first.
Ok, now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas and alack, slackage must cease because purtification for irk must commence.
Not *that *kind of painting! He’s not allowed to paint the house - I’ve done every wall in this place, some twice already. **FCD **has many skills and talents, but getting a nice coat of paint on a wall or ceiling ain’t among them.
Good morning! Higgs was quiet till I was up and about a bit after 6. I’ve got the sprinkler going on one garden that was looking thirsty yesterday, and I’ve got a load of shorts in the washer. Breakfast has been ingested and I’m caffeinating while I wait for the washer to finish. Cat box has been cleaned. Wow - lot’s of efficiency for this early in the day!
Someone’s coming over to give me an estimate for cleaning the gutters. I’m also hoping for some studio time. And I’ll do at least one more load of laundry. That’s how one begins a new month - at least this month. Next month will probably be completely different. We’re flexible that way.
actually, kind of yeah. One of the workshops I plan on doing is a speed dating thing. The rest of the time, I will be playing board games and drinking hard cider.
I am beginning to think that I am the only remotely healthy person in the MMP these days…especially since I have not had cause to bother my doc for anything in the last few months. That, of course, means that sometime in the next couple of days I will be struck down with some monstrous affliction that requires urgent healthcare.
I am doing a little happy dance today as I’ve just heard that 'im indoors has got a new job, this time it’s in Cardiff Bay, deep in darkest Welsh Wales. He’ll be starting on Monday so I hope this week he’ll be packing up enough clothes to last a week and finding somewhere to live. Well, that’s what I’d be doing if I knew I had to be there bright and early on Monday morning.
My work PC has been having an off-day today, it’s been remotely tinkered with by our IT people, they’ve had about four tries to get it working and I think they might finally have got it done.
Two loads of clothes on the line and a third in the washer, destined for the dryer. I don’t usually hang our whites out - not because of any embarrassment about the world seeing our underwear, but more because it takes freekin’ forever to hang out all of our dainties plus a gazillion pairs of white socks. Today, specifically, there’s not enough space left on the lines for all of the whites - I’ve got 15 pairs of pants/shorts and a dozen plus t-shirts - I think that left me with 2 untouched clotheslines. So the next load goes in the dryer.
**FCD **is going to Lowe’s for a wire brush attachment - he’s in the process of stripping all the steampunk paintings off his bike. He thinks by this time next week, he’ll have a pirate themed bike ready to go. We shall see…
Hot(tho not 100f yet) humid and covered with African dust in Texas.
I’m just above a park where they shoot off fireworks . Whoopie
Puffy feet,so was in bed with elevated feet yesterday and will be today.Feet are better.
Tomorrow I will be 71. :eek: This is the oldest I’ve ever been,so I’m not sure how to act. May catch the bus to Wal~Mart to celebrate. Or not.
**Lorene **- I expect being 71 is a lot like being 70. Best part, you can act however you want. When you act up as a child, you’re a brat, as a teen, you’re obnoxious, as an adult, you’re annoying, but once you reach a certain age, you’re delightfully eccentric! At least that’s the way I see it. Of course, compared to you, I’m a mere child of 60, so what do I know?
Oh, yeah, I know - a certain geezer will hit the big 6-0 a little later this month.
It looks to be a hot one today but the truck has AC so I’ll be good.
Road trip to Hagerstown to look at the outsides, hopefully the realtor may be able to show me a few insides.
Today is laundry day and pizza day. I’ll probably do neither since I won’t be here most of the day. I’ll leave a note asking Sah-son to toss my clothes the washer but I won’t get upset if he doesn’t. I like for him to carry the clothes upstairs, doing my laundry for me is optional. He had tacos yesterday so I won’t feel bad if he doesn’t get pizza today.
I finally got the wifi to work on my phone yesterday so I could get the latest update. The tech couldn’t figure it out so I researched it online and got it to work. We will see what happens next.
Happy Canada Day!
I guess OAOASO didn’t like my terms for lending him money this week. I never heard back from him. Not my problem.
He needs to pay me for my half of the boat that I have never even been out on. I swear one day I will take a chain saw to it and bring my half home.
A cat hurricane!? We have one of those every time a can gets opened in the kitchen…
The good news for today is I’m getting two days of irk this week, both at a site that I would be walking or getting a bus to even if I did have a working car, which gives me a little breathing space.
Happy Canada day! I may try make approximate poutine to celebrate.
Good morning all. Pointless Tuesday meeting attended, coffee drank, various arguments have been completed/continued/started depending on their priorities.
Just another Tuesday.
“God, my best friend’s on a shooting spree/ Stop it, Debbie, you’re embarrassing me!”
Boofae, I am healthy except for the occasional sinus infection which I hit with antibiotics then I am better. However, I did spend the winter in a CAM boot for a plantar plate tear which I got from EXERCISING. Moral of the story: stay a slug.
All righty! Unders have been folded and put away. Vacuuming has ensued, and I cleaned out the canister/filter. As sunny and hot as it is outside, I should be able to bring in the line-dried clothes in another hour or so - I’ll have lunch, then check them out.
Mooom, I think you do more laundry than anyone I know!
Jynx, glad you’re beginning to feel better.
Lorene, 71 shouldn’t be too much different than 70, I would think (says the chick who claimed her first senior discount this weekend :eek: )
swampy, this parade is held in the early evening, so it’s a little cooler, but everyone gets a bit wet and cooled off and ready to listen to some good music, so’s it’s perfect.
**Red **- I think I average 4 loads a week - I don’t think that’s excessive, is it? You just notice laundry days more than non-laundry days.
Lunch has been ingested. I just finished cleaning the rotisserie - it got kinda gross from the ribs yesterday and **FCD **didn’t notice the grease. But it’s clean now, ready for the next greasy meal.
Howdy Y’all! In the orifice after a trip to the north forty. Rah. Poor new [del]minion[/del] assistant had to deal with callin’ folks about not turnin’ in their timesheets on time. Everybody was told to get the dang things in on Firday or run the risk of not bein’ paid this week. Four people didn’t. They will not get paid from this week’s payroll. They will be paid in next week’s supplemental payroll. Since I was not here, she had the joy of callin’ 'em up to say get their timesheets in and also to deliver the news about no paycheck this week. This is a part of the job she got to experience for the first time. Natch I’ve had calls from all of 'em in the past half hour and told 'em the same thing. So sad. Too bad. You are all alledgely adults. :rolleyes:
rene you could also sit in a rockin’ chair in your front yard yellin’ “get off’n muh lawn ya whippersnappers!” all day.
