Finished my Christmas shopping. It all should get here on time. I’m having everything sent here this year, and will wrap it and take it down to the armpit.
I think that pretty much guarantees horrible weather for Christmas Day.
Lots of gift cards for everybody. A few gifts, my niece’s bf said the two younger boys need pants.
I still need to buy for my son, but I have no idea what to get him. He never wants anything.
He mentioned a game system and a game, but then he said never mind.
I also bought 2 more fire sticks. I only wanted one more but since it was $40 for one or $50 for two I went ahead and got 2 of them. I have 3 TVs anyway, but I think one is too old and there is no place to plug in a fire stick. There may be an adaptor of some kind I can buy.
If I have one left over I’ll sell or give it away.
Once my contract runs out, I’ll cancel the directv and be done with that bill. Except they will probably make me a nice offer to keep it. It’s a waste though, I only watch about 3 channels. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.
I want a sticker/lollipop for acting mature today.
We were doing class presentations on an important global crop, and one of the more nervous uncertain guys in the class did his on coconuts. It included the line that ‘Coconuts have been spread around the world by traders, but they are capable of moving between islands by themselves’ and I didn’t stick my hand up to ask the question.
Most of 'em are so young they probably wouldn’t have got the reference anyway…
Howdy Y’all! I have been fairly productive today. Even went out in public to do adult things! I got keys made for OYKW’s place at Lowe’s so the folks movin’ in could have extras. Think of it as a house warmin’ present. I went to Sam’s and got gas and even went into Sam’s to purchase a few items. I went to the church house to do candle duty. Then I went back to OYKW’s place to test the new keys. I adulted up a storm! Sup has been supped and chillage ensues. Rain comin’ in tonight and tomorrow is predicted to be stormy. The dreaded “T”* word is even bein’ tossed around.
{{{Peaches}}} welcome back! Yay for hubby and disability money!
Ruble and Sunny I declare both of you tied for weirdest link of the week.
Welcome back peaches! Yay for hubster’s disability and kittehs.
Got things wrapped up for EoM, bought groceries, took Nelson to get his nails did, swung through the Captain’s for supper and am now surfing. Studio time later.
The land line is down and I didn’t know it. I can’t get incoming calls, so irk logged me out for missing calls, only they didn’t send an email like they used to.
I switched over to using my cell phone and it is acting up again, it gives a half ring and then goes to VM before I can answer the call.
So I logged out of irk, which means losing pay.
The land line phone company has no idea why there is an outage and how long it will take to fix.
The cell phone company did something to fix my phone, but I don’t have much faith in them because we have gone through this before.
I have to turn it off for at least three minutes, turn it back on, and see what happens.
I think I should just take the night off, go to bed early, and start over tomorrow.
Evening all. Dinner has been consumed and I’ll make it an early night as I have gym duty tomorrow for indoor soccer for 6 hours monitoring and directing a bunch of 4-7 year olds…not to mention their parents…
Wet outside all day, so had a good excure for staying indoors. More of the same is predicted for tomorrow.
Spidey, roof, ceiling, who knows, the damn spider was hovering right in front of me and preventing me from emptying my bladder, that is the critical fact.
Sari, Xmas shopping for me is cards all the way down. Aksed the family if they wanted Amazon gift cards instead of the usual Barnes and Nobel, got no committment so maybe they get one of both.
Swampy, yeah on the adultin’; maybe I’ll get around to it next week.
I hereby officially present to you an Official Monday Morning Post Cookie.
I am terribly sorry, we are out of lollipops. There is a rumor concerning Swampy and Brussels sprouts, but I refuse to believe it.
But I digress.
(Ahem) Please accept this official MMP Cookie for Acting Mature. Few are presented, but all are accepted.
Tornado weather in Arkansas; warm and windy in Fall.
I recall Mrs. Plant’s (v.2.0) Aunt calling from Rhode Island, upon hearing there was a tornado in Texas, calling to find out our status in Arkansas.
Those of us on Cruises, of course, are Unconcerned with Our Friends Difficulties.
>sniff<
Roommate’s evicting me, got into huge fight with my dad and it’s at the point I don’t know if our relationship will ever be saved, I always have a stomachache that never gets better, I don’t really have any living options, I’m horribly depressed and I’ve been depressed pretty much all my life, and I just can’t get anything done anymore.
Looking into medical aid in dying, and it looks like I meet all the criteria.
Emily, take a deep breath and don’t even think about it. Life has dumped a lot on you lately and I can understand that, but nothing is worth considering taking your life at this time; you’re not dying of an incurable disease or anything; you’re not in the final stages of cancer; you’re having a bad time of it but nothing that would justify dying.
Get counseling, look at your options and do what you can to make them work. Heck, if it wasn’t 1200 miles and another country, you could stay with me for awhile while sorting it out.
Please don’t do anything in the midst of depression.
Emily. You’re “all left feet”, I get it. Whatever actual encouragement you can get, here or elsewhere, is more positive than where you are right now. That only means that I offer you whatever encouragement I can at this point. Hugs and prayers, as appropriate, to you! Blessings.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 59 Amurrkin out and rainy with a predicted high of 70 and a hunnert percent chance of rain all day. Looks like rain will continue through Moanday. Oh and we are under a FLASH FLOOD WATCH until seven p.m. Today’s plans are nuttin’ at all. This bein’ tornadoish weather ‘tis a good day to stay in da cave. I am makin’ a marinated bean sallit (hush, we like it!) to take to the church house tomorrow for first Sunday brunch along with a gallon each of sweet and unsweet tea. We shall sup upon burgers and N.O.T. sallit which I shall also make today. OK, not exactly doin’ nuttin’ then, but none of it is like hard work so there’s that.
{{{Midget}}} FWIW a lot of people here love you. Hang in there. You will find another place to live and I am sure you can come to some kind of undertandin’ with your dad. You are an accomplished musician which means you have a great gift to offer the world. Just remember your music has been sought literally worldwide.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day!
It’s a cold 34 degrees ouside, supposed to warm up to the mid 40s.

I know you’re not feeling it now, but getting away from that roommate is the best thing for you. It would be better if you had left on your terms, but it needs to be done and now it will be. Let her become somebody else’s problem.
In a few months you will look back and say how in the hell did I ever put up with that crazy bitch. Well, maybe you won’t call her a crazy bitch because you are nice. However, she is bullying you and somehow has you convinced that you are the one with the problem. It will take getting away from her for you to see more clearly what she is doing.
You and your father will make up, the damage is not irrepairable.
You’re going through a lot, but you will get through it.
Two hours until the official start of the unofficial start of Santarchy! I word it that way since some of us veteran Santas get together for a few stretches and warm-ups of a sort just like anyone involved in a marathon ------ except ours involve the imbibing of craft-brewed rye. Its a dangerous past-time but someone has to do it. Assuming I can focus enough to log in I may stop back whenever its over.
{{{emily}}} You will get through this. Don’t do anything irreversible.
Up, caffeinating, breakfasting, towels and sheets in the wash and the puppy crate cleaned. Not much on the agenda today. I will make some chocolates to take to irk Monday and fart around in the studio. Maybe videos are in order, as it’s a rainy day.
Howdy Y’all! I have been bzzy and made the bean sallit, N.O.T. sallit, tea, and made up burgers for sup. I have even achieved nappage. Go Me! Rainy and icky out.
