**FCD **made it in and he’s sounding a bit better, so yay for that. Meanwhile, I slog on…
9AM yesterday my car was so buried in the slow that I couldn’t get it away from the curb.
5pm yesterday the roads were dry and I got the Sportster out.
I’m a year older and even more confused than ever.
ruble is it your birthday? Just in case…
<AHEM> CLEARING THROAT <AHEM>

С Днем Рождения, Ruble!
I 've had 14 and 15 hour days for weeks straight. I also haven’t had a day off in two weeks. 
I am tired and grumpy. My higher HQ refuses to believe there is something wrong with the “tool” I am using to prepare our business plan. I’m so sick of taking half a step forward and about 20 back because of that stupid tool. I’m tired of the long days and no weekends and I’m just tired of the stress.
Happy, happy birthday Ruble. I hope you have a fantastic day.
Hugs to those who need them. I only snuck in here because I had to log out of my plan so my higher HQ can see that I’m not talking out of my ass.
Happy Thorsday.
Still have the ick.
No snow, school today for the kid.
He was disappointed and so am I, I like it when he’s home.
I need to catch up on reading.
{{{Taters}}} may you get a needed weekend soonest.
{{{Sari}}} may teh ick go away soonest.
N.O.L. time. Turkey ‘n cheese sammich. Real excitatin’ is it not. Oh well it will keep teh hongries away.
W00T! Work is feeding us today! And I even didn’t pack a lunch! We just got the email, so it must have been a last-minute thing (usually we get an email a week or so ahead, and it’s on the timeclock for a few days).
I had been planning on trying to write 25,000 words next month. Then I find out that Camp NaNoWriMo (the summer, and now spring, version of NaNoWriMo) starts next month AND you can set your own word goal. Perfect!
Ironically, I JUST printed out my winner’s certificate from November (my printer at home isn’t usually hooked up and I didn’t want to do it at work, but I finally did).
Now I just have to get my ass in gear and get my place cleaned up so I don’t have housework distracting me.
Lunch time! I goofed - I thought I was buying unsweetened applesauce, but I bought the sugar and HFCS sweetened stuff - ugh. Not sure what to do with it - maybe my daughter can take it to school for kids who forget to bring snacks - I know she loves overly-sugared 10-y/o kids!
Happy kopek day! You don’t act a day over 14!!
I’ve just about beaten the second drawing from hell into submission. I’m setting it aside and I’m going to do a couple of easy ones now, just to give the brain a break.
It’s a purdy day out - 45° and sunny with lots of blue skies - yay! We may see spring yet!
Oops, sorry kopek, I didn’t mean to leave you out!
Happy Birthday!
Got my annual review today, and a dollar raise. On the other hand, at some point this year, I’m going to have to be a receptionist as well. That sucks.
Happy Birthday Kopek
happy birthday kopek!!!
edit: my day of the birth is in 11 days, just a heads up, because I am selfish and want awesome happy birthday wishings too!!
Apes a sure fire way to get awesome birthday wishin’s is to bring in chawklit cake on your day of nativity. Or remind us. If I get a reminder over on facebook about a Mumper with a bday I can remember. I can remember MOOOOOOM’s bday because she is six months and six days older than me. Also her bday is 123. So if’n facebook tells me it’s your birthday I will remember to come here and sing real loud.
MY birthday ought to be pretty easy for you to remember, Swampster. It’s 2 days after your’s on the calendar. Although you do have 8 years on me, you old fart. 
Hey, in 4 days it’ll be my one-year anniversary!
My one-year anniversary of joining this message board, that is.
Hey, Leiu my Mum just reminded me- your mystery plant what you mentioned last week is a clivia.
Anyways, housemate is now back, so now I have adult supervision again. She’ll just have to help me trash the house 
Happy birthday Ruble!
Happy **Ruble **day
Jim
Hippo birdies ruble!!!
Apes, your B-day is March 18th? Mine is the 17th & My brother’s is the 18th! Sweeet.
The boys are at the sto, & it’s Anything-can-happen Thursday!
