You just had to let him know. :mad:

Now that’s what I call a mensch, always thinking of the environment. Not only does he drive me to drink but he snags a bottle for himself while he’s there! 🙂

A guy who hangs out in the alley behind the whiskey store tries to bum money from me. He said he was Ed McMahon.

I was bad and took off irk this morning. I was so tired and took a nap instead.

Bill paying is done, 4 doctor/hospital bills, electric, gas, and water.  
All Done.  
Got the credit union glitch straighten out.  
I still need to pay on the credit card. I wanted to pay it off but between going two weeks with minimal pay and the emergency vet bill it’s a debate.  
I also have to talk to the mortgage company I think. I thought when my mortgage payment was calculated the property taxes weren’t right but I figured the people who figure out such things know better than I. The mortgage company is collecting for and paid the Washington County Property Tax bill, but there is also a Hagerstown Property Tax bill. I don’t know if they are going to pay that as well and raise my mortgage payment or if I should just pay the bill. The tax bill isn’t due until the end of July so I have time to figure it out. If the mortgage company doesn’t pay it by then then I’ll pay it. If it’s not paid by the end of July it goes up a whopping 87 cents for the months of August and September.

All this high finance is making my head hurt.

I still need to call Sprint about the fraud stuff and the lawyer about the annoying phone call stuff.  
I think going to the armpit will not happen today.

Yay, **Louie**!

Yay for more cash, **2gig**!

Today is the last irk day for me this week. I have an early morning medical appointment tomorrow, so I just requested the whole day off. Tomorrow is my boss’ last day before retirement. I’ve worked for him on and off for six years and I’ll miss him when he takes off for Florida.

Poke chops and fresh corn and something fruit-like (maybe pears?) for supper. Yum.

Good News! Fr. Bill’s golf cart was found and is unharmed. I don’t know any details other than that. Stil, YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

**flytrap** Jawja is in the eastern time zone, so I live one hour farther in the future than you. Also, no one wants to see your dangling participle.

Ah, you are at work while I am sitting in the smallest room in my house.  
I don’t feel so badly, now.

Where is your participle at?

Google fails me.  
Attention Rosie! I googled Srevotfel, and came up with zilch.

With that out of the way, what does it mean, Srevotfel?  
I used to know a girl named Svotfel, but I doubt it is the same thing. She was Lithuanian.

They came and re fixed the electrical stuff while I was at work. I napped, now I am actually cooking food.🙂 (Italian herbed chicken, Parmesan rice and spinach with sundried tomatoes and basil).
