So the job that I interviewed with that is not a job sent my a salary request via text message, my response, if accepted, changes my tax bracket. If you are going to be difficult you have to pay me. Sorry if that is all cryptic. Welcome back **MOOOOOOOOM** **Swampy** you did tell her we used coasters? Right? **JIM** ---

Boss came around at 3pm & said we could leave when we were done. But someone didn’t do what they said they did, so I had to redo what I had already done. This made “leave early” all of 4:57. Grrrr! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 73 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 93 and a heat index near a hunnert. Thus we have the usual afternoon heat advisory and chance of a stray tstorm. All in all should be a nice day to chillax around the pool. In a while I shall purtify and head over to the church house to get ice. No sense in buyin’ ice when there’s an icemaker there that makes more ice than we’d ever use even with tomorrow bein’ brunch Sunday. I could empty the thing this mornin’ and by tonight it’d be full again. Of course I won’t even make a dent in the ice fillin’ up two big coolers. **doggio** what with the wild turkey and kickin’ chikin, brekkie at your place must be a hoot!😃 Now I shall seek more caffiene and feed rumbly tummy. Then I shall purtify and commence with the festivities. Happy Sattidy Y’all! ---

Up, caffeinated, off to irk. Doctor Who and hurricanes tonight.🙂 **swampy** , and the dogs: “I will trade you this spit soaked squeaky toy for a slice of bacon.” ---

I changed the bedding this morning and washed it. Now it is drying outside on the line. This means two things will happen - when I go out to do the usual errands, one of the neighbours will light a very smelly bonfire, and then before I get home again, it will also bucket down with rain. Of course, the forecast is for cloud/sun and no rain… On the plus side, I am unemployed (contract finished on Friday) and also on holiday for three weeks! I think I can live with that. ---

Gooooooood morning! I slept so well in my nice, big, comfy bed! First load of laundry is on the line, second is in the machine. \*\*FCD \*\*and his dad are taking a load of stuff to the dump. Life is slowly getting back to normal. Still haven’t read the whole thread, but maybe I’ll get to it today… ---

Iceage has occured. Though not ice age obviously cause it’s rather warmish out. Now I’m chillin’ with the net and a glass of Diet Coke [sup]TM[/sup] for a bit. Don’t worry, I’m usin’ a coaster. Actually it’s a big crystal ashtray of which I have several that serve the purpose of coaster. Decorative, yet functional. Martha Stewart ain’t got nuttin’ on moi! 😃 ---

Up and been for coffee and eaten brekkie. **mr ems** has just gone and fired up the mower to tackle the jungle that is the back yard. After the rain last weekend it has grown what seems like a foot. I am chugging coffee then will go mow the front yard. Other than that no plans! ---
