Morning! (I have been a bad mumper…) Blurf… That combined with VLOOKUP hell and today is wearing a bit thin. Lalalalalala I can’t hear you - I refuse to read any of the song titles as I will end up singing a mash up of them all afternoon. 😃 I also hurt my knee in my sleep last night. How is that possible? ---

I’ve read that the 3 types of people who get “earworms” (songs stuck in their head) the most are musicians, women, and neurotic people. I am _so_ screwed. 😃 ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Since I don’t know any of the songs you posted, I’m good. And I won’t even suggest “It’s A Small World After All”… . . . I wonder if I still have my LP of that. I’ve been [donating records](http://theguiltlist.blogspot.com/2013/09/let-this-be-record.html)to Goodwill lately. I still have the Goldwater LP. I’ve found folks selling it online for from $8 to $35, but I haven’t seen evidence of any actual sales. So if anyone really wants it, send me an address and I’ll mail it. (It’s bright and shiny!) The last earworms I remember were Still Alive and Everything You Know Is Wrong. Still Alive was the annoying one. When it first popped up as an earworm, I only knew a few of the lines. I had to pull it up on YouTube and listen to it over and over until I had it memorized before it would go away. That had happened with a couple of other songs, before, so I knew not to put up a fight. When a song that I don’t know starts earworming, it’s not going to go away until I have all of it in storage in the wetware. ---

> [@EmilyG](#): > > I’ve read that the 3 types of people who get “earworms” (songs stuck in their head) the most are musicians, women, and neurotic people. I am _so_ screwed. 😃 Kind of how I felt when I read that the women most likely not to be taken seriously in business are short, blonde and buxom. Went to irk for a while, did some cleaning, had some lunch. Sah-dog is in the doghouse. My nephew in law painted the deck, some barricades were put up to keep the dogs off and of course Sah-dog, the one nobody was worried about, is the who figured out a way to get on it. He might be half blind and half deaf but he gets around. ---

It’s definitely the air conditioning that’s leaking. However, it is _not_ the leak we fixed a couple weeks ago, so I’m guessing the outflow hose is clogged. Hopefully it’s a somewhat easy fix, and we’ll be able to get the air back up and running before it gets hot again later this week. The good news is that I don’t have to go searching for a plumbing problem because we know where the water’s coming from. And this is probably something that needs to be cleaned out, anyway. And now I’ve got tomorrow off! 🙂 I’m leaving early today for a dentist appointment, and I was supposed to leave early Wednesday for a head-shrinking, but I managed to move that back so I don’t need to take two early days and a personal day in the same week. I’m very much hoping that the dentist today isn’t too traumatic–I believe I’ve got an abcess next to my already-root-canaled-but-not-crowned back tooth. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s not going away, and I don’t want to find out a month from now that I’ve got some kind of infection that will necessitate removal of half my jaw. I need my jaw. For chewing, and talking and stuff. But taking tomorrow off means I can spend the afternoon cleaning a little, so that will be less to do this weekend and I’ll feel like a grownup. 🙂 ---

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven’t been checking into the MMP lately. I’ve been enjoying my time off the boat immensely. I just recently had to dump $3800.00 bucks on my car for repairs that I do not understand why I needed (but my car was leaking oil like a sieve so it had to be done, and I decided to get my A/C repaired finally as well but that definitely should not have needed repair yet either). But whatever. I got one more week before I head back out to the boat and I’m gonna enjoy it 🙂 Hope y’all are well! ---

Home from work, tahred, and aggravated about the job. Today I got to print out pages, punch holes in them, put them in a binder in order, stamp, date, and initial them all. Just like a drafter should be doing… :rolleyes: I shouldn’t be hating my job so soon. Supper will be steak, twice-baked N.O.T., and whatever green veggie I pull out of the freezer. That’s all. ---

I’m listening to [this music](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmWgIidnXX4) right now. When you listen to it, it kind of sounds like it’s already something stuck in your head. 😉 It’s not to everyone’s taste, but I like it.
