It’s a good thing my boss doesn’t work this shift. 'Cause he’d ask me what I’m doing, and I’d have to say,
“nothing.”

I got up at ten thirty yesterday.
I got up at midday today.
Once again, this is a bad thing.

I wish you hadn’t.

Punha, I would be perverse, but the last few times I have, I don’t think anyone liked it!
I wrote my column.
I broke a nail.
vivalostwages, the first time I saw your name I thought it was vital lost wages all mushed together. Because all lost wages are very likely vital.
Now I need to make a raffle announcement poster for a humane society raffle, and I haven’t made a poster since high school. Maybe once in college. Many, many moons ago, at any rate.
And I can’t find my magic markers. Pllthpptpllb.
I’m now going to go munch on some frozen grapes. Yuuuuummmmyyyy.

There are far worse sites and much more irritating casino-promotion music out there, believe me.

I just verified 74 insurance policies.
There are some lazy nurses working here.
I broke a nail too, **bwk** and there are no clippers in sight.
I’m going out tonight with someone I don’t care to date exclusively.
I’m wearing purple scrubs.

I hate when I’m replacing a storm door on some old lady’s house and she has a bunch of cats and she won’t put them up in a bedroom or something, it’s just 45 minutes or so for cryin’ out loud, so I have to do it all from outside which adds a bit of time to the job becuase I have to remove the glass and screen panels from the door just so I’ll have room to work on certain parts of it, like the closer or the latch, and I’m just used to doing it with the door open, it’s kind of like an automatic thing, just go and do it, and then it gets real hot on the porch becuase is shining right on it and there’s no breeze and I should’ve made it an afternoon call, but I had something else, another smal job, scheduled for the afternoon, and there’s that dang cat urine smell all over her old door and the porch, and loads of cat fur everywhere, and I don’t really mind cats, grew up with cats and dogs, even horses, and my GF has a cat, too, but why couldn’t the homeowner lady just put up the cats for a bit?
She _did_ give me a glass of iced tea. YUMMY! 🙂

I should have studied. Shut up, **Lobsang**. I passed my chemistry final, though, with either a B or a C, so it isn’t too bad.
My math final was fine. No problems there.
Also, the cramps did turn out to be period cramps. I found this out when I felt the flow start right in the middle of second hour.
There’s nothing quite like getting your period right in the middle of class.

my pomegranate is doing well. If you water it the fruit break open before they get ripe. If you don’t water it the fruit break open after they ripen.
**Lobsang** makes me think of that chinese tea.

It just occured to me - I am stupid.
What I mean is, I started this damn thread so that I could post irrelevantries (if there is such a word), yet I’ve been sat here for hours, bored sh\*tless.
**Lobsang** would make me think of musical seacreatures. (I am dissatisfied with the name btw, but I aint going to request a change _again_. If I did I’d pick **Vimesey** or something like that)
I am hungry.
wibble.

I ordered $85 worth of children’s books for Christmas presents today. My theme this year for Xmas is “books and blankets” and I am subjecting all children in my buying plan to my quilted blankets. The book part is complete ( unless I come across anything reallllly good.)
Bought a wood ‘treasure’ box to paint and load with stuff to bury in my garden for the kids.
Planted buttloads of pumpkin, squash, watermelon and corn today. Tomorrow, if it doesn’t rain, I’ll plant cukes, radishes, beets, lettuce, carrots and something else that I can’t remember.
