Went to the concert. They had a bass oboe in the orchestra! It’s the most awesome instrument I’ve seen lately.
I worked. Apparently, the full moon showed up a couple of days early at my store. We won’t even mention the “ladies’” room.
swampy, Steve would be proud of y’all. 
sari, :eek:
Good morning, and Happy Weekend!
Swampy, I’m glad things went well!
Things here are getting off to an early start this morning. I didn’t sleep more than 2 1/2 hours. I have no idea why.
Today, I’ll be outside doing yardwork. We’re going to be getting the raised beds all ready for planting, and we’ll work on the flowerbed, and that sort of thing, too. I’m also going to fire up the smoker, and smoke a pork shoulder, a turkey, and some Cornish hens. It’ll take awhile, so I can busy myself with the yardwork, between the times I’ll need to tend to the smoker/meats. It’s going to be 78 degrees today, and it’ll be a lovely day to spend outside. We plan on filling a cooler with assorted beer, sodas, and iced tea (The tea is for me), and making a day of it. We’ll have pulled pork for dinner tonight. Sounds tasty to me!
I hope everyone has a great day!
Despite my physical exhaustion, I couldn’t fall asleep till almost 11 last night. Then **FCD **woke at some ridiculous hour and went out to watch TV, resulting in the cat trying to break into the bedroom - he’s very noisy when he jumps up on the handle repeatedly. Then when **FCD **came back to bed, Higgs started up. I told him to just let her come in with us and maybe she’d fall asleep, which she did, but then I was up and I started having a coughing fit. So now he’s asleep and the dog’s asleep and I’m wide awake, despite being exhausted. Today is going to suck.
And on top of that, it didn’t rain last night, so I’ve got to drag the hose and sprinkler over to where I was planting yesterday and let it run a few hours. So much for mulching today. Stoopit rain.
Maybe I’ll get tired again in a little bit and go back to sleep. Maybe.
Otherwise, Happy Saturday. blech.
Good luck getting back to sleep, FCM. I tried that. Nope. No sleep. It evades me.
So, I’m going to vacuum. That’ll either bore me enough to sleep, or it’ll get me all fired up to do something else.
blurf
one more apartment to see today
Blurf. I was up relatively early for a Caturday so today’s workout has already been done. I’ve had a shower and several cups of tea so am feeling near-human again. Today there will be errands in town and lunch, then home to cook a quick dinner, out to the big city for birthday drinks with a friend, then possibly a stop off on the way back at our favourite rock pub which is open until 3am. That could get messy.
I predict Sunday will be a day of sloth impersonations and very little else. I have bread to make, and a couple of chores to do at home but other than that I will be resting. Yes. Resting.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 53 Amurrkin out and foggy with a predicted high of 83 for the day. Nice! Today’s plans are well, nuttin’ really. A day of sloth is in store. OYKW is still abed. I’m considerin’ makin’ a run to MickeyD’s for bizkits just cause. That means makin’ myself semi-presentable. Or not. I could just go do the drive thru thang I reckon.
Rosie good luck with the apartment hunt. Appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed.
Ace just readin’ your plans for the day made me tired. 
OK, if’n Ima go get bizkits I best get goin’.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Morning. I’m up and caffeinated. Work tonight.
Good morning, stage 2. I managed to get a little more sleep, and I’m now up, dressed, and breakfasted. The sprinkler has been dragged to the hill and my newly-planted stuff is being watered and fed.
My big chore today will be disassembling a platform **FCD **made some years ago for our trash cans. It’s since become a place where stuff accumulates, so it serves no useful purpose, and we need the deck boards for the ramp into the shed. After I get that fun task done, I’ll finish cleaning the shed while **FCD **starts the repairs. Dunno if he intends to do the roofing today - we shall see. Beyond that, I have no clue. I think I’ll pull a poke roast out of the freezer to thaw for supper. Thus re-beginneth my day…
Yes, I’m drinking a Dr Pepper at 10 AM, and no, I don’t care what anyone thinks.
Happy Saturday!
It’s a sunny day (sorry no rain FCM) so far. I slept with my window open last night and it felt good. Poos Sah-dog kept pacing and panting and I finally figured out that he was hot and opened the window.
It was a bit chilly when I woke up but I’m just happy to be able to have open windows.
I’m slowly knocking things off my ToDo List. Not quickly enough, but I’m getting there. I’ve been trying to irk extra hours to get my pay up a bit. It never fails, I will sit here and the phone doesn’t ring until I get into something else, then it will ring non stop.
Despite all appearances to the contrary I am in a better mood. Knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel makes me feel a whole lot better.
Sounds like you had a good time **Swampy **. I’m sure the congregation appreciates all you do for them.
Good luck with the hunt Rosie.
reminds me of a joke I heard.
I don’t know how you could drink a Dr Pepper at any time.
I know I’m in the minority, being a Dr Pepper lover. I also like visors and pit bulls and alto clarinets and other things people don’t generally like.
Dang, Sari beat me to it. 
MickeyD’s bizkits have been had. OYKW was all excitated over gettin’ two bacon, aig and cheese bizkits. It takes so little to make some people happy. Now I’m feelin’ sleepified. Might just be time to achieve some nappage.
We need the box Schrodinger keeps his cat in.
I have brunched(2 cheese omelet, bacon, and sauteed mushrooms). Now I shall walk the dog before work.
Midget, I prefer Mr. Pibb.
I had believed Dr. Pepper to be a beverage popular mainly in the Southern United States.
MickeyD used to have a Spanish omelet bagel that I liked.
I had left over pizza for breakfast.
Sometime today I need to go to the store, or maybe tomorrow since I have to drive mom around.
Her bf was supposed to get out of the hospital today but now his kidneys are not doing well so he’s not coming out until Toosday. I was supposed to drive mom up today but his son said he will stay another day so tomorrow I’ll drive mom around to do her errands and to the hospital.
The she will be staying with him at his daughters for who knows how long.
The HFH are supposed to be taking a trip the first week of May and the female half is mad because mom said she wouldn’t take care of the dogs. Excuse me! Not her job, not her responsibility. Once again the male half is telling mom she shouldn’t buy a car, that she won’t be able to drive too much longer. Then he made some nasty comment about me taking mom to the hospital and going in to see her bf. I swear those two couldn’t mind their own business if somebody put a gun to their head. My mothers bf may not be my favorite person at times, but he always brought mom to the hospital to see me and always asked me if I needed anything, so if nothing else, I owe him the same consideration. He’s good to mom, although I could never put up with him, but he makes her happy and that is all that matters anyway.
We took a breather from working on the shed and I took pics of the motorcycle parts. They’re in the cure phase before polishing. Pics are here - no idea why they all seem to have white spots on them - I’m guessing it’s reflections in the unpolished surface? Anyway, I think he done good!
And now, back to work…
