You know
When you hear the commercial for the* pocket hose*
and you’re not looking at the TV
it’s a lot more interesting.
The Dipsomaniac Tree Guy came back today. Actually, his representatives came by, he being incapacitated with Pain Pills in the truck. I heard him try to speak, and I believe he has more drunken than I have ever been, which, if I may be immodest, is Quite a Bit, and I worked very hard at it when I was in college.
He showed up a couple of years ago when he was ambulance chasing and saw Dead Tree Number One.
I blame the Republicans and Climate Warming, but I digress.
He never got around to cutting the tree, but he did trim some stuff, and Mrs. Plant paid him to cut down her Mother’s hated nandinas, which he did not do.
Some Black guys wanted $700 to cut down Dead Tree Number Two, I declined, but we still had them screwing up stuff when they came into our back yard to cut down the neighbors dead tree with a rope tied off.
Ambulance chasing.
DTG cut the tree down Sunday, whacked at it Monday with another guy he “goes to church with.” I gave him $200.
GHGTCW came back today, whacked at it some more, assured me he “lives for Jesus”, I gave him another $100.00 because baby needs new shoes or something. He promised to whack the nandinas as well, and assured me that DTG is pretty fucked up.
Promises to return Wednesday evening or Thursday to finish and get the lat $100.00.
Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) asked if they were a bunch of Church People, where did they find the guy with long brown hair.
I speculated that they believed him to be Jesus.
Gah.
Dude, dude, DUDE. I have a date for Friday night. We just talked on the phone for like an hour. He does post-production for reality shows (not by his original choice). DUDE! He’s creative and geeky and we have a lot in common.
To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream
GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY WEDNESDAY TO YOU ALL.
2:32 AM startled awake by sounds of the house being broken into. Grab gun.

Back to ick after two days off.
Not looking forward to it, but out at noon, so there’s that.
Happy humper day, all.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 64 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 79 for the day. We are apparently in for a cool down as the high for Sattidy is predicted to be only 72! Well, BRRRRRR! BTW we’re havin’ a fish fry Sattidy late afternoonish. Original plans called for hang out at the pool time before. Folks can still hang out but I don’t think there’ll be any gettin’ in the water. Oh well, a good time can still be had by all.
Spaz purty flower! So did you get a trillium of 'em? 
Yay for DH’s deportation gotti!
Yay for date ShinyCat!
Butters poor doggy baby!
Ok, I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants food. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. It’s May first (Happy May Day!) and that means no ties in the irkplace until after Labor Day. YAY!!!
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
Good morning from the well-rested FairyChatHousehold!! **FCD **decided he wasn’t going to set his alarm and he’d sleep till he was done. Well, Higgs didn’t much like that idea and around six, I heard her whining in the hallway. She’d gotten out of her cage but for some reason she didn’t launch on to the bed - perhaps Ziva scared her??
I got up to let her out and **FCD **hopped into the shower, and thus began our day. He’s gone to work, she’s out in the yard barking at the world, and I just finished breakfast. Today, I’m going to clean the railings on the porch and move the new furniture out there. If I feel up to it, I’ll also throw together some covers to go over the seats.
Daughter is coming to dinner today and I’m making corned beef and cabbage and carrots and onions and N.O.T. - in the crockpot if I can find a recipe I like. I’ve also got some ground beef that needs to become hamburgers. It won’t be a gardening day, but I’ll still get some fresh air and sunshine. So yay for the end of the rain!!
I’m thinking that after dinner, I’ll head up to my mom’s to spend the night so I don’t have to drive there and back tomorrow. Which means I need to pack my car tonight - I’ve got a lot of stuff to take to her. And I’ve got a lunch date tomorrow with my bestest friend from high school - I need to double-check where we’re meeting. I know it’s a restaurant in White Marsh.
Meanwhile, it’s 50°, sunny, and heading to the low 70s today. And I’m feeling pretty energetic. We’ll see how long that lasts.
Happy Wednesday!!
Happy Hump Day!
hmmm maybe that is why I had some rather erotic dreams last night
sex and chocolate, can’t get much better than that!
Happy May Day!
May is my favorite month.
Sah-kid turns 18 this month, so he will go from Sah-kid to Sah-son.
I turn … somewhat considerably older than 18 this month.
It is 15 degrees above freezing and sunny outside.
And Swampy thinks 72 is Brrrrr.
No
I am up too early, thanks to the Sah-dogs bladder.
2Gig that raccoon is probably more pleased than you are, although you never know with raccoons.
Now I know what a trillium is, very pretty.
Lucky ShinyCat
2.99 you need sex and chocolate.
Gotti Glad things are getting better for you and DH
Flytrap have you been taking writing lessons from me?
Since it’s unnatural to be in this good of a mood this early in the am, I am going back to sleep. Obviously I am suffering from delirium from lack of sleep. After I look up the correct spelling of delirium.
blurf
**sari **- I’ll probably be stopping close to your neck of the woods on my way home. We need salt for our aquarium and we go to this place to get it because they’ve got good prices, and it’s often an excuse to drive to GB. 
So I’ll wave from my salt stop!
Blurfy Blurfage.
It’s only Wednesday. sob
Don’t be so sure <shove> 
Today is my oldest friend’s anniversary. It’s easy to remember because it’s May Onest, which is a International Worker’s Day.
It’s also an international distress call. Ifn I were married to her, EVERY day would be Mayday Mayday Mayday! :rolleyes:
Is it only Wednesday? I feel like I’ve done a week’s work already. I have been faffing with my provisional timetable and am now starting to look at rooms… except that is not easy because everyone wants rooms in the same building, but undergrad rooming comes bottom of the list so it’s going to get messy before it gets finished.
I need a holiday. Luckily, only two weeks to go and I’ll be at the airport!
Good call.
Probably like unto “trillium”. 
Heh, yep, S1 E1, here’s the part I mentioned. Gawd I love this show.
I know, right?
I was in a poorly mood last night and could not break myself out of it. Tried drawing the kitties on my nifty art paper - they wouldn’t hold still long enough. Tried watching tv - no NCIS reruns, no interesting nature documentaries, and no other programming worth checking out. Finally settled down and started reading Y, the Last Man, which my brother lent me. Read two volumes before I decided I had to do some laundry so I would have clothes in the morning. Spread the clothes out on the laundry hanger on the porch so they would dry faster. Read the third volume of Y and went to bed.
My laundry was still sopping wet when I got up this morning.
Dallas, Y U NO dry my laundry?!
I’m riding the crew boat home today. But it has been delayed, so I have a full day of work now ugh. Back off for 28 days soon though, yay.
