We have cases in my clan (and Herselfs clan as well) where folks have been cousins and brother/sister at the same time. Someone died and the kids got divided up between different branches. Popsi (my FIL) was a Geist but all of his siblings were Stedamyers. Its why geneologists tend to be heavy drinkers or wild guessers. 
And first yet again. WOOOOOT me!!!
It took less than 48 hours for Taz to hork up a mess in the middle of the family room carpet. Idiot cat. Higgs was obliging enough to snarf down the solids :eek: and I think I managed to dispatch the remaining stain with some vigorous handful-of-rag scrubbing. We’ll see how it looks when it dries. Idiot cat.
Lots of rain last night, and more promised today. It’s about 58° - decidedly cool out. I slept comfortably with an afghan tossed on top of the bed, so that was good.
Today’s big chore is finishing the towels and delivering them to the store. That involves some ironing and some folding, followed by filling out the inventory sheet. So, fun there.
Today is MIL’s 84th b-day. I had to remind **FCD **- he knows his parents’ birth months, but he always forgets the days. And they’re about a week away from their 66th anniversary. MIL graduated high school, turned 18, and got married all within the same week - whew!!
Finally, today is the day my daughter sees her son for the first time since he was born. In fact, I don’t know if she even saw him back then. But she and my mom are meeting him for lunch. I expect there will be lots of tears and lots of pics. And I know at least 2 of you will see them on her FB feed.
Happy Wednesday!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffeinated, and purtified, so no YAWN. ‘Tis 71 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 88 and alleged rain this afternoon. We shall see. So far the weather PTB are not doin’ a good job of predictin’ rain.
As soon as OYKW finishes purtification, we’re goin’ to Pearly’s for brekkie. YUM! He has a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for a ham 'n cheese omelet.
MOOOOOOM you might want to take a look at that last paragraph in your post. You just told the MMP your daughter has a son she’s never met. I, however, know you meant your sister. 
Ok, that’s all I got. I hear rumblin’s in the bedroom which means OYKW is all purtified.
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
Up, caffeinated, off to work.
Dunno where my brain was - it is my *sister *and her son, not my daughter.
Obviously the caffeine hadn’t kicked in yet. Dammit.
Maybe I should go back to bed…
Holy Og, I need 6 of those.
**BBBobbio **- do you dress in layers?? 
I think I’ll be leaving here about 0400 in the morning. Ruble, that will put me in the Pittsburgh area around 10, FWIW.
Funeral is noon Firday. I plan on spending Saturday with my rugrat and FDiL in Indiannoplace, then heading back to MerryLande on Sunday. That does not leave much time for nappage or getting shitfaced. :grumble:
Only 2 are for me: one regular wear, and the other is the good one for Sundays. The rest are meant for people I know.
Happy Hump Day!
It’s a cool, grey, cloudy, 58 degrees outside with a high today of 63.
FCM I was wondering too, glad Swampy said something.
Today I’ll decide if I’m going to the armpit tomorrow or Friday. Then again I may not decide until tomorrow.
I passed all my tests yesterday, for somebody who has had 2 heart attacks and a badly behaving uterus I am quite healthy. Unless something shows up at the doctor Friday the surgery is on.
I need to get some breakfast, and then time for irk.
OK, not only did I screw up by typing daughter instead of sister, I got the wrong day - it’s next week. So ignore what I posted earlier.
Well, it is " The Insomniac MMP!", so it’s fitting. 
Nope, no time to go back to bed. I’ve got a load of bath towels in the washer, I’ve scooped the cat box, and I’m actually dressed for venturing out in public! I don’t plan to venture out for a few more hours, but still…
I wish I could go back to bed.
I woke up a bit too early and now I want to sleep.
However I have two more hours of irk and then other things to do.
Check your PMs and give me a call ------- something may easily be doable.
blurf
Laundry is done and put away, tea towels have been delivered to the store. I was going to get some strawberries, but the lady I buy from didn’t have any - I’m guessing they didn’t harvest in the wet. Maybe I’ll go to an Amish stand to get some. Or not. TBD.
N.O.L.time! I’m munchin’ on some peanut butter crackers cause I’m not really hongry bein’ as I et a ham ‘n cheese omelet, grits, and a big ol’ bizkit this mornin’. Pearly’s is good and kinda cheap. One gets a lot of food for the money there. Dindin shall be my famous Eye-talian chikin, i.e. throw some chikin boobs in the slow cooker, dump in a bottle of Eye-talian dressin’ and let cook on low. It’ll be done when I get to da cave. Cheesey broccoli rice (from a box, don’t judge!) and peas 'n carrots shall be the sides. Tasty and easy, just like how I like my men.
Yesterday, on the way to irk, my service engine light came on in the truck. I swung through the garage on the way home and had them run the diagonistics on it. Evidently, it went a bit under the temp range, so they reset it. I think I’m going to take it in for a new thermostat anyway because the temp was running low again this morning. I also ran it through emissions testing, since my tags are due this month. It flunked. 
The dude there asked if I had a new battery (mine is a couple of months old) and told me to take it out on the freeway and run it at 75 for a bit. :dubious: I do that every day on my commute.
Once I started reading the literature that he gave me with my report card, I saw where resetting the code would cause the same issue. Whew! I’ll try again Thursday.
Other than that, another boring day.
I sat down to watch Dirty Jobs with a cat on my left leg and a dog plastered against my right hip. I actually dozed off for a few minutes. Then **FCD **came home early - he didn’t have anything to do at the office and he wanted to clean the bike for delivery tomorrow.
So while he was cleaning, I decided to make up a batch of sketty sauce - I’m down to 1 bag in the freezer. This should give me 4 more, once it’s done simmering and cooling.
Dunno what we’ll do for supper, tho. Mebbe I’ll pull a chickie tit out of the freezer and do something with it. Or we’ll have grilled cheese. Not sure.
