Morning all. Got several more jobs to do around the house prepping for the weekend, and also want to see if I can get the Master bedroom suite delivered before the rest of the stuff (to limit time I need to be in a hotel) as that room is already re-painted/recarpeted.
It was a rainy night, but this morning looks clear but only 51F and that’s about as warm as it is going to get.
nellie, glad you got power back; been lucky and no down time yet this winter.
We have turned a corner I do believe. Hubs actually slept a good bit last night and ate a small muffin this morning. He has been going without food and sleep for days. He is also finally starting to cough up crap from his lungs. Tomorrow we have to get a blood draw and see the cardiologist next week. He also has a follow up with the liver Dr in a couple weeks. I am not going back to irk until Tuesday as Moanday is a holiday.
Did I mention the leak under my kitchen sink? I have had a pot under it for a week or more. My neighbor is bringing home a faucet from her job at Home Depot and hopefully I can finally get that fixed tomorrow. Hubs employee said he’d fix it for me. Hubby isn’t quite up to that yet.
I got my first haul of tomatoes and a homemade Key Lime pie with a pecan crust from my neighbors last night. Hubby may want a piece of pie I hope.
Still waiting on the update. Daughter had her power strip under the desk but not out of the way and it was sitting on its side. So when I moved my foot, I turned the damned thing off… had to start the install again. Dammit.
So it’s closing in on lunch time and I haven’t done a thing. Well, I pulled some weeds while waiting. Still, a mostly wasted morning.
**Butters **- good news! Hope his recovery continues.
Doggio is good w/ drafts…& bottles, too. :o
Not a good night/morning between everything, & also I’m pissed on top of it all.
If Mr. Butters doesn’t want that slice, I’ll take it.
Glad he’s doing better.
Went down to the Furniture store where I bought all my new stuff to see if the Master B/R could get delivered early. They said no problem, but while checking the paperwork on what I wanted delivered (set up for Wednesday the 22nd), I found that I (or the clerk) had ordered Queen size headboard/footboards for my bed, and I wanted a King size. So they did the reorder (an addition $218) and it should be here when the rest of my stuff is delivered, and I can sleep without a headboard for awhile. It’ll mean only 1-2 nights in a hotel, instead of 10-12 nights if I had no place to sleep.
Need to figure out how to transfer my Firefox data to my new computer (which I’ll set up after all this work is done), they have a ‘how to’ on the Firefox site, have to print it and work it out. Then I need to delete everything on the old machine. Oh joy7.
Butters, glad Husband-unit is eating again. When he starts complaining and getting on your nerves, then you’ll know he’s really feeling better…
It’s not snowing here. I think we have a 50/50 chance. I’m staying home and cleaning out cupboards, so I don’t care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my–whoops, wrong song.
Butters, so glad hubby has turned a corner. How nice your neighbors must be!
Moooom, I get a kick out of your mom sending birthday checks. My mom used to send $10 in our cards. It was for a birthday drink, she said. But Mom enjoyed keeping up the tradition, and $10 was little enough, we got a chuckle out of it. It’s great your mom feels comfortable in stopping sending the money.
I dreamed last night my eldest sister discovered the Dope and thought it was fascinating. I was filled with dread, certain she’d figure out I’m on here. It’s not like I’ve posted anything she doesn’t know. The subconscious is a very weird entity.
It’s coming down pretty heavy up here; not as hard as 20 minutes ago, but still… The Weather Channel webpage says ‘Expect occasional wintry mix to end at 4:15pm.’ I have to drive to Seattle tomorrow, and I’d prefer to take the Prius. It gets over 2½ times the MPG as the Jeep does. If I can get the Prius onto the street, and rolling on it, then I should be OK. But that’s questionable.
My week finished on a good note. We had our mandatory safety update seminar which is really fluff - just another base to be touched and a requirement to be crossed off - but its on the clock. So all of us who didn’t VTO got paid to watch our learning gal go through a 90 minute program in 43 minutes flat! (o)/ I was really proud. At the Old Place when I had to give it I never managed to beat 55 minutes; that’s why she’s the paid professional. A sign of the times since last I saw it though; we’ve had to add active shooter to it all. I guess everyone has to today.
Nelliebly, glad your power is back. We been having some outages here. In fact the clocks are still flashing. Last summer we had an outage for 26 hours. Transformer went down. In the summer, my room becomes an oven. Slept outside in my hammock,
Rustless Rat, I tuned in late. So, this seems like a major remodel. What inspired you to undertake this project?
Butters, happy señor butters is eating. That is always a good sign. And you have a talented neighbor. Key lime pie with a pecan crust would be marvelous.
Doggieyeah, it was very dumb carrying the kibble, can of paint for five kilometers. Can’t eat enough IB800’s to stop the back pain. Won’t ever do that again. I love to walk, because I am so happy I can. But the kibble was too much.
Good news. The housekeeper came! She had a lot to do, so we both tackled the joint. It is so nice!
Still waiting for the comode to arrive. I don’t think they had it in stock.
Last night there was a showing of Blazing Saddles at a restaurant. They do a food pairing with the movie. Of course it was beans. I have seen the flick many times but it is better with a group laughter. Kiko is not invited to the restaurant area. So, he had to wait outside.

Mr. Michael Uzor Kalu. This is my today’s get rich scheme. Since I don’t have time to pursue it have at it. I will just need a finders fee.
It was, alas, a bit longer than 24 hours, but yeah, DNS.
**nellie **- believe it or not, my MIL still sends checks. Usta be $35 but now it’s $25. I wish she wouldn’t, but it’d hurt her feelings if I asked her to quit. And she’d nag if I didn’t cash it.
After much cussage, I got the drawings done for FCD. I need to do some work on the templates but we’re good for now.
He’s got folks coming for a presentation in the morning. I’m going to suggest we get a kerosene heater to take the chill out of the shop - it’s like a meat locker in there!! Waiting for him to come back in the house. I may head out and hurry him along.
Howdy Y’all! Been pretty much a chill day here. We did do N.O.L. at the place down the road and OYKW rode with me over to the church house to accomplish a couple of chores. I made sup and after we et he cleanded up. I have packed for tomorrow’s jaunt to the Jawja coast (well, close to the coast). All is well.
Butters yay for hubs bein’ home and wantin’ to eat!
butters, if the hubby turns down the pie, you could pass it my way. Glad he’s home and eating.
Got enough stuff done at irk today that I may be able to duck out early tomorrow. Go me! Nelson got to hang out with the neighbor GSD for a bit this morning. Much tail wagging and butt sniffing ensued while the GSD’s human and I talked. Once KP is done, it’s chillage in the studio.
Or, you could turn it into a training facility. Bonus: Tender steaks for dinner.
Get in line.
I went to run club tonight; had a hot dog when I got home but need to forage for the rest of sustenance still as I wasn’t s’posed to be here tonight but plans wuz changed on me.
Evening all. They had plenty of staff at the indoor soccer practice so i didn’t hang around for long. Disassembled my dining table (and didn’t lose anything) and packed out my bedroom. Nappage was accomplished this afternoon so I’ll probably stay up late tonight.
moon unit, I’ve been in this house since 1997 (except for the 4 years I lived overseas and rented it out) and I’ve been saving, so a couple years ago I had professionals remodel the bathrooms and kitchen and since I had to clean it out for that work, also re-painted and re-carpeted my master bedroom. Got myself in good shape financially again so repainting and re-flooring the rest of the house (great room/dining room+2 bedrooms and hallway) and since I’d have to move the furniture anyway, bought some new stuff (had the older stuff since '97 or 2003).
Butters, no letter but I got a call from a “AI” voice that said they were from the Social Security Department and that my SSN had been used in Texas and they wanted to talk to me. The voice told me to ‘press one’ and when I didn’t it told me, in a rather bossy tone, to “Press ONE.” No machine voice is going to boss me around, so I hung up.
ruble, surprised it took that long to add an ‘active shooter’ to the safety training; when I was in the US Government I got that annually for, since the 1990’s.
No snow here, it’s 45F here and the rain has gone away.
It’s not like I’ve posted anything she doesn’t know. The subconscious is a very weird entity.
A sign of the times since last I saw it though; we’ve had to add active shooter to it all. I guess everyone has to today.
