Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 73 muggy Amurrkin out with a predicted high of ONLY 85 and very likely rain. It did rain some last night. It was thunderatin’ all around but we just got some rain.
I have not read those posts Jim told me not to read. Thus, I assume Jim, Spidey and flytrap are plannin’ to surprise me beer, chawklit and nekkid men for my birthday. Oh yeah, I got one of those comin’ up soon and I’m told next Sattidy there will be a pool partay to celebrate it even though I don’t want to. Hangin’ at the cee-mint pond is cool but I could do without it bein’ a bday celebration. Plans, however, are afoot. Maybe it’ll rain.
Hope Higgs is ok MOOOOOOM.
Now I need more caffiene and should feed rumbly tummy. Then, well, who knows!
It’s a muggy cloudy 75 degrees with a projected high of sizzling 93 degrees.
Yes**** FCM**** we got lots of rain, it’s very wet outside.
I hope the **Higlet ** feels better soon.
I think it’s really cool that Capt, Spidey, and **Flytrap[/B are going to surprise Swampy for his birthday.
The Full Monty so I’ve heard. Swampy I know you’ll be sure to take and post lots of pics.
Damn Sirius radio took money out of my account. I guess it was time to renew the subscription but DAMN they could have told me first!!! Kind of rude to not send a reminder first.
Best Buy still takes their money out twice each month and then puts one payment back. They deny they are doing it but yes they are.
However, my AT&T bill dropped $40 and when I called to ask them why they said it’s some kind of settlement or bonus or something and they don’t know if it’s a one time thing or a forever thing. Wasn’t there a class action against AT&T?
Higlet has eaten some rice and half an egg. She’s been out at least twice, barking like a little idiot. Now she’s napping. It remains to be seen if she’ll leave us a mess on the carpet again.
I’ve watered one garden and I’ve got the sprinkler on another. I need to mow, and I seriously need to weed - next week when the temps drop a bit. So far, no crabbers to check, so I may have another day off. We shall see…
I have a sore throat and a headache.
I feel the ick coming on.
I need to get up and get moving.
I don’t know what I am going to eat since the damn mouse got into everything. I want some soup, that will feel good on my throat.
Please see my previous comments re: things living in my swimming area. Additionally, my paleness and fatness make a day at the beach nothing but a trial, so I prefer pools with very-nearby roofs and air conditioners.
Plus, the Jersey Shore is, well, the Jersey Shore. Crowds, idiots, tourists, traffic … In the last twenty-five years, I have been to a New Jersey beach precisely three times. And I hated it every time. *
This does not count trips just for boardwalk time-wasting. But since the JetStar fell into the ocean during Sandy, I’m not going down there for rollercoasters much anymore.
Today is Do Stuff Day. With our sadness and the general heat, we have not cleaned anything in at least a week. I’ve got curtain rods to return, groceries to buy, laundry to do … I’m thinking of doing the shop-at-home grocery thing, save myself an hour or two. Makes me feel pretty lazy, but I’m actually pretty okay with that. I am lazy.
Did you ever go to Keansburg? For anyone familiar with NJ, it was a cheesy version of Asbury Park before they both became primarily used for IV needle distribution.
The water was frightening since as I recall it was on a bay rather than the open ocean, but they had a reasonably entertaining boardwalk/arcade - SKEEBALL (woo-hoo!!)
My parents both grew up in the Belmar area, so that was primarily where we went. My friends and I would do Seaside for boardwalk stuff, but we’d never actually use the beaches there.
Yeah, I’ve been training another disease-riddled shit-rodent that the trap is where treats live. Tonight it gets set. This is the third mouse. I’m going to wait a week and then repeat just in case there’s another. (There’s always another.)
Didn’t meet up with Irish Storyteller last night. Did not sleep last night. Very tired today. For some reason I’m craving a smoke. I don’t smoke. I’m going to bum a cigarette off of what will assuredly be a very confused co-worker on my way out today. If you see a zombie coming up the road towards the Appalachians, warn me. It’ll be my mom coming to kick my ass.
We have never had mice like this.
Getting one every winter was kind of expected. We’d put out the poison and be done with it.
The next door neighbor says they are bad this year because of the house on the other side of him. It was a rental, the basement flooded and the tenants never cleaned it out. He said it was a mess of cardboard boxes, furniture, all kinds of crap in one big mess and full of mice and bugs.
The landlord had to use a shovel to scoop out all the mess.
The house has long since been cleaned out, fixed up and sold but the neighbor says the mice are still around, he has to keep putting out poison too.
I think I will get Chinese food today.
Wonton soup is good for a sore throat, egg rolls with hot mustard is good for a stuffy head and ginger is good for the tummy.
My butt is smokin’. Yardbird is on too for a lunchdate and ribbies will go on at noon for dinner. So all in all Saturday is leaning towards not sucking.
Hope everyone has a good day n weekend too. Toodle lieu.
