Fifty quatloos on the Cruel Overlords!
Well
I love it when a plan comes together!
We have 4 more days of just the three of us, me, dog and son. Well the bird too but he doesn’t count because all he does is squawk.
So 4 more days of happy dance!!!
And no pet sitting today or this weekend so I am not wasting the time alone by not being here to enjoy it!
I haven’t seen a mouse and any droppings lately.
The storm door is working but the keys for the front door also work for the side door so we will leave that storm door unlocked just in case the front door starts to stick again.
I love it just being us!
N.O.L. is et. Ham ‘n cheese sammich and some finger butter cookies. That’s my big accomplishment today. Ok, a buncha paperirky stuff got done with more to do but I do not feel accomplished when I’m doin’ that.
OMG, I am having a panic attack. My HR told me to put in for FMLA and I get this letter (personal info redacted) I called the stupid benefits people and they said all they could do was contact my Employer to change the dates to start after my PTO. I can’t have this baby without insurance. WTF am I supposed to do???

{{{Apes}}} because it looks like you could use a hug. Hopefully it’s possible to change the dates so you will be covered. DANG!
I’ve had an interestin’ past couple of hours with a man who has applied for services. He had an expired DL which I could not use to complete his I9 Form. Non-Amurrkins an I9 is the form an employer/employee must complete to prove the employee is either a citizen or legally allowed to work in the U.S. Anywho, a DL or state issued ID must be current. So, he has to go to the infamous Jawja Department of Driver Services to get his license renewed. To do so one thing needed is a certified copy of a birth certificate which he had to go get before goin’ to DDS. He gets his birth certificate and discovers that his father (folks never married) did not sign the birth certificate, therefore his legal name is his mother’s maiden name. For 57! years the man has been goin’ by his father’s last name. It used to be that one did not have to have a birth certificate to get a license or a renewal but no more so he had never gotten a copy of his birth certificate. So, he has to go to the Social Security Administration to get his name changed there, then he can go get his license renewed. We had completed a ton of paperirk usin’ his “old” last name which we will have to redo with his “new” last name. It’s either that or he gets a legal name change to his “old” name which is even more fun. Talk about havin’ a bad day! I think that if the ceilin’ fell on my haid right now my day would not be worse than his.
My day also wouldn’t be worse than the day Apes is havin’.
Life can throw out some curves can it not!
FMLA requires at least a year of employment OR 1250 hrs. I know I sure have at least 1600 hrs logged in at my job, so they screwed something up. My HR is on it, because I called them crying and my HR lady told me she would take care of it. She is awesome. I foresee having to readmit insurance bills in my future, because I am sure my insurance got notified of my FMLA denial, you know they wouldn’t hesitate to act on that. JESUSCHRISTONAPOGOSTICK :mad:
Apes, ya gotta quit wearing that shirt with the bullseye on the back! Obviously you’re a target for miscellaneous crapification. 
It’ll all be OK - trust me… would I lie???
We’ve gotten the deck boards and the stuff we need to make the steps from the deck. We also got Cape Cod Gray stain/deck protector that I’m going to paint on the deck boards before we install them, just to make my life easier! I should be able to do 2 coats easily, since the deck is 160 sq ft and a gallon supposedly covers 300-500 sq ft. Of course, being an Olympic product, it’s not a full gallon. It’s 8 oz short. I really hate Olympic, but they didn’t have the stuff I wanted and **FCD **is super-impatient about this deck, so we got the Olympic crap. I hate them with the fire of a thousand suns! :mad:
My youngest sis is coming to visit on Tues so **FCD **can take her to the leather store that sells red chaps. My goofy sister will be riding her scooter wearing her helmet that has a rat on top and wearing red chaps. There’s on in every family, and if you say there’s not one in your family, the it’s probably you. 
All righty then…
How’s she doin’? 
Gotta be better than the one last night: crash & burn, no survivors. Let’s just say the best part was it was a decent (but not great) middle-of-a-heatwave beer. :rolleyes:
**Spidey **- she’s single!! Ask **CatDude **or **BBBobbio **about her - they’ve both had the honor of meeting her. She’s also 48 - probably a tad older than your preferred demographic?? :eek:
**FCD **is out on his motorcycle. I think he’s insane, but there ya go. I’m enjoying the cool of inside.
That would depend MOOOOOOM. If Spidey’s demographic is alive then sis might be the perfect match.
Still at irk. Got just a couple more things to deal with and then I’m outta heah!
So of course she’ll pick this weekend to make her arrival. Even unborn babies know about Murphy’s Law.
I don’t regularly go to ‘those’ types of places, but when I do, I prefer the ones with the “Live Nudes” signs as they’re much more entertaining than the alternative!
I don’t regularly go to ‘those’ types of places, but when I do, I prefer the ones with the “Live Girls” signs out front…
…they’re much more entertaining than the alternative!
Oh, so now it’s the kid’s fault?
:rolleyes:
If Apelet comes during a twister, she can always claim she “was born that way” 
Well, my sis doesn’t work in one of “those” places, but she is a bartender… 
Burgers and cuke salad for supper. Yum! **FCD **is back from his ride - he said it was quite warm out there - duh!!
Went to school. It was pretty crappy, except that we did get to go out early.
OYKW got to da cave ahead of me so he grilled burgers. It’s ok cause I do let him near the grill on occasion. Interestingly enough dindin here was also burgers and cuke sallit.
Now I’m all relaxated and cooled down. It’s hawt out. I do need to bake a cake in a while. Ima make it a sheetcake cause I’m too lazy to do a layer cake tonight.
Grass cut, spent a while basking in the rare sun, and picked some salad stuff. Nothing makes me feel smugger than eating things I just grew
Early bed tonight, as I’m up early to go to Oxford University.
Ok, so Oxford Brookes, and it’s for a juggling convention, not for some intellectual study type purpose, but still
