I don’t know if it comes from having turned 18 or if it is because of the school year ending but Sah-son and I need to have a talk. He has been neglecting to tell me things I need to know. For instance he forgot to tell me that my mother brought home a plate of food for me yesterday. He also neglected to tell me the garbage disposal is broken, which I only discovered after I had dumped the olives and mushrooms from the above mentioned plate of food. Olives and mushrooms in the lasagna! It is no fun scraping food out of the drain. The one that really gets me? My mother also brought home two brownies, one for me and one for him and he\* forgot\* tell me about them. Uh huh yeppers I believe that one, he _forgot_. ---

What is this “vacation” of which you speak? However, I have been given my marching orders and shall begin consideration for a trip to London to see a play at The Globe. I should have enough vacation time saved up by the time I have enough money saved up to pay for it. In the meantime, I’m starting my big exercise plan, and tomorrow will be my first time in a dojo in ten years. Not sure if I’ll be able to walk Thursday, but tomorrow should be fun. ---

Just dropped in to say goodnight. And apologies if recent posts have gotten a little scatological lately, for some reason. Maybe it was that giant dog-bomb I stepped in recently in the back yard. Damn if those things don’t hide in plain sight sometimes! And I got a pretty good eye for them, too… Two more irk days of nine straight, then a nice long five day break - and I got a Plan: Rest; par-tay; recover; man up and exercise; pizza & movie(s) night. (speel chek kept trying to change “exercise” into “exorcize”) 😃 G’night all, and **Rosie’s** sig to all that are in need… ---

Sorry **taters** that does suck. Finally made it home from work at 8.45 thanks to two pointless meetings this afternoon and I didn’t get any lunch somimwas starving. I get home and **mr ems** who has been home since noon hasn’t packed and has also been drinking with the neighbors since about 5 and was hammered. I have no idea if he has everything he needs for vacation and I really don’t care he is lucky he is still breathing I am so mad. Then he had the nerve to tell me to hurry up as he wanted to go to bed. :mad: Gonna be an awesome 9 hour flight to heathrow tomorrow! 😃 ---

Happy Humpday! I am way too early again. Not the dog’s fault. I was hot. Closed the windows and put on the AC. It’s only 67 degrees outside but it’s humid and it it’s supposed to be close to 90 today. Todays agenda is irk, laundry that I didn’t do yesterday (freedom is a wonderful thing!), and possible trip to the grocery store. Check out that hex key thingie on the garbage disposal. I’ve got a bunch of phone calls to make. ---

Good morning good morning it’s great to stay up late! I’m on the bus to port now. A few hours away from my 28 days of work, 12 hours a day 🙂 I’m going to try and sleep a bit here on the bus. Hope you all have a fantastic Wednesday. Swampbear, first thing I will do when I get settled on the boat is to check the starboard storage closet where the toilet paper is kept and make a full report to you ASAP. ---

> [@The\_Vorlon](#): > > Use the hex key thingy in the bottom to back off the motor, may fix the blinking thing Huh, I didn’t think teenagers came with a hex key. Learn something new every day. I should go do some gardening- unfortunately, my car’s still full o’ camping gear, quite a lot of which is not mine, so I’m not sure if I can fit the strimmer in it. I suppose I should try and organise some way to return stuff to the owners, but one of them will be at work, and the other will still be in bed. Hmmm. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis \ 69! \ Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 91. 'Nother hawt and hyooomid day in south Jawja. **$2.99** I anxiously await the report on the state of tp on the boat. I trust an adequate supply has been layed in for 28 days. Actually with teenaged boys a whap upside the haid every now and again is effective. It’s kind of like a brain reboot. Have a safe trim **mmmmmmmms**! Sorry about the furlough **taters**. Maybe they’ll find a way to shorten it. Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Happy Hump Day Y’all! ---
