I am at irk, it is irksome. Today I have a meeting scheduled for 3pm that says it will last 1.5hrs. That suggests to me that it’s meeting then hometime.
Still got the remnants of my cold which is not good, I had hoped the germs would have moved on by now since I’ve been providing them with a less than pleasant environment, but they are stubborn and seem to think staying on will somehow make them welcome again.
No plans for the weekend except sleep, and possibly a bit of domestic goddess stuff because the house needs cleaning and the cats have been refusing to help.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 55 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 70 and sunny for the day. Then a cool down starts again. Weather by Sybil.
{{{CupCakes}}} here’s hopin’ you feel better soonest.
Today is irk from da cave day. YAY! I do have to go out to a couple local places early this afternoon but that will not take long. Thus, I must purtify somewhat for the public. Right now, however, it’s time for more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed.
Apart from being awakened by a cat trying to break into the bedroom, I slept till 6!!! YAY! **FCD **is still abed but after I shower, I’ll wake him so he can be among the first to get his blood drawn. First come, first drained…
Two weird dreams last night. In one, we were being held hostage in the house by a rather stupid couple. They took my phone but not FCD’s, so he called 9-1-1. There was more weirdness, but it was never resolved, then it morphed into a dream where Daughter and I were taking a walk with Bernie, who was as frisky and playful as in her prime. Golly, she’s been gone over 4 years - wonder why she was on my mind?
It was all of 15° when I let Higgs out - needless to say, she peed FAST and came back in. The pellet stove ran out overnight - it’s now refilled and running. And shortly, I will hit the shower. Dr office and breakfast first thing. Car to the dealer for a 10:30 appointment. Stop at Aldi’s on the way home for some nuts, and perhaps a stop at Food Lion for bread and peanut butter, since we’re low on both.
Thus beginneth my day and my long weekend. Long range forecast says temps in the 50s on Tuesday. Such bizarro weather…
Sorry I’ve been absent. There has been a lot going on at Chez Rockin’ this week. Airman’s mother has been fighting cancer for about a year and a half, and now it’s looking like the cancer is going to win. Top that off with some other family drama and things are… Interesting.
More importantly, the truck leaves for FL today, you know, the one with:

Sorry, I’m not on board with this (the name, not the sentiment, that I agree with) as it sounds like a porn star name. :eek:
As in, now playing as flytrap’s favorite theater: CupCakes Conquers Kansas City ???
Up at 0330, caught flight at 0525, then two hours in Atlanta airport, another 90 minute flight, a couple hours driving/eating lunch culminating in a 2-hour meeting where I was called upon to utter perhaps 4-5 sentences, then back to airport for 2 hours, flying to Atlanta and waiting another two hours to fly home, before falling into bed about 2300. So I could get up to come into work today.
So anyone else blurfing, just live with it…
Baker, fingers crossed that it is something minor.
Robyn, all the best wishes to you and the Airman.
Calla, the biggest anxiety about flying these days is getting through security and the great human mob scene at boarding. Flying itself is a breeze, I think you’ll do fine.
Of course, if you don’t, we expect to hear all the gory details here…
Home, having accomplished pretty much everything. The wait for labs at the Dr’s office was over an hour. Yoiks! Then we had breakfast at our fave cafe in Leonardtown - altho it’s just half a cafe at the moment. Irene is having to repair the roof and they crammed us into the half near the grill. Wonder how long it’ll take to fix?
After eating, I dropped **FCD **off at home, grabbed my hockey blanket project, and headed south to the Hyundai dealer, arriving 5 minutes before my appointment. They declared we didn’t have the problem prompting the recall, then they changed the oil and ran the cruddy thing thru their carwash. My car is blue again!!!
Next stop was to fill it up - $1.69/gallon!! On to WalMart for a few items, and it was an amazingly quick in and out there. Finally, to Aldi’s for almonds, cashews, peanuts, and pistachios, plus some mushrooms.
It’s Friday, so we must be at the hospital again. This time, it’s to patch a spinal fluid leak. You know you’re at a hospital too often when the security people recognize you and you can accurately predict what the cafe has available for breakfast.
I just got mod permission to post DH’s gofundme page elsewhere in MPSIMS. It’s the old flagpole test…run it up and see if anyone salutes, or in this case, donates.
**Red **- this office doesn’t schedule labs - you just show up. LOTS of folks showed up today… One of them apparently had some issues or something - he was in there at least half an hour. But it’s done, so yay.
I am embarrassed to be related to someone who has no problems sharing bad info. Those who follow my sister on FB got some of that this morning with her explanation of why a drink is called a shot. She deleted my link to the actual explanation. I quit following her so-called Knowledge Nuggets because more often than not, they’re BS, and she gets all pissy if anyone tells her that. So henceforth, I shall take a deep, cleansing breath and let her wallow in her ignorance. Stoopit sister.
