What time zone do you have set for yourself? You can set that under User CP: Settings. Apparently you’re in the central zone. ---

Happy Moonday! My open window tells me it’s chilly outside, my phone says it’s 47 with a projected high of 65. Damn hounds from hell started barking and howling at 4:30, I had to yell at them to shut up. I think my niece got here around 6 to let them out, I sort of woke up and then fell back asleep. Moonday is my slowest irk day as I only have to irk 3 hours. I scheduled it that way. Nothing special to do today. I may do laundry. I need to cook up the ground beef in the fridge along with the green peppers. One of the peppers is getting a little soft. I may throw out the ground beef, it’s been in there since Wednesday. I’ll see what it smells like. ---

\*\*sari \*\*- the sniff test is definitely one of the most reliable. I’ve had milk almost 2 weeks past its “Sell By” date, but it passed the sniff test. Third load in the washer, second on the line, dishwasher is done. Choring right along!! ---

Morning, I’m up, caffeinated and gathering laundry Roomie’s cat is on _The List_ for unplugging the cable and Internet Toob during the game yesterday.

Well, that was an unpleasant calculation. Looks like I’m going to lose almost $8400 from my SS supplement because of how much I earned last year. And if I don’t want to lose more next year, I can’t earn any more than around $4K for the rest of this year. Like I said, that’s what savings are for… Stoopit bills and groceries and stuff. :mad: Fourth load in the washer, and one more to go for today. FCD has made and installed the tool rack in the shed, so all of our tools are now hanging and organized. When the laundry is done, I’ll head out and dig up rocks. rah. ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > Off on Monday again, it feels like Saturday. Of course last Saturday felt curiously like Sunday, so I dunno.😃 In any case I foresee laundry and hockey. Any other Mumper get Moandays off on a regular basis? The store I work in is closed Sunday, and my weekday off is Wednesday. Not always great for my sense of time. 🙂 ---

I don’t believe in working on Moanday and rarely have to, the Rock and Roll biz is good that way. Sorry I have been a bit quiet as of late, life has been interfering with my Mumping. Things one and two are driving me batty. Thing one’s car in all it’s drunk bump covered glory is parked right next to me, it was supposed to be gone May 1, her with it. I suspect that the Constables will be moving her out shortly. Anyhoo, coffee is good and I want more of it. Cheers and Happy Moanday **Jim** ---

**Sean** name of first pet + street you grew up on = your drag queen name. Thus I am Trixie Monroe. Yay for gettin’ the garden planted. As a cub, I once planted eggplants in two biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig pots that sat on the front steps of the house we lived in. Mom was not amused. Hey, she said I could plant whatever I want in 'em! 😃 **MsRobyn** yay for bein’ all self-employed! Now, get to irk! 😛 **Rosie** shall be along shortly with an appropriate nickname. **Monkey** a food truck? People actually buy and eat stuff from those things? Whoddathunkit! **Lucky** sorry about the A/C and the roof. Irk is not bein’ as irksome as it could be for a Moanday. I’m glad for that, so far. ---

Lady Seagrove Sounds more like a cross dresser. I need to get up and get moving. I finally closed my window, it was getting too chilly in here. I’m getting hungry too. It looks to be a lazy day for me. I should be ashamed but even that is more effort than I want to put out right now. ---

> [@MsRobyn](#): > > It’s my first Monday as a free, FREE! (insert maniacal laugh here) self-employed person. It feels weird knowing that I won’t have to call deadbeats to remind them to pay their damn loans back. Speaking of, maybe I should start an “Ask the Former Student Loan Debt Collector” thread. It also feels weird knowing that I have to get off my butt and actually do work for clients who hired me on purpose. she’s good at it, too. 😉 as for her nickname? I dunno. All I can come up with is **Mizzy**. Maybe **Mooooom** can do better. eta - The apartment has been christened. I hear the sound of hornking ---
