Well, crap.
I put the bag out for Purple Heart with some clothes in it about 7am, and they just stopped by and it was gone…had a sign and all next to it, but somebody came along and took it. I am…displeased.
Well, **MetalMouse **- maybe it was someone in desperate circumstances and not just some scummy thief stocking up for a yard sale…
I wrapped up the drawings for one project. so I can move on to the next pile. Yay for productivity!!
BLURF My clerk whose husband has been in Africa is back today after the day off upon his arrival home. Just now she comes in and asks me to google the symptoms of food poisoning. Does she really think I am that dense? I know she wants off to be with hubby but she is already gonna be off on Firday and was off yesterday and I have given her reasonable accommodation for 15 months. Too f’ing bad. Job or be off.
I am so over people who don’t want to irk their schedules. She could have requested this entire week off but did not. She did request a week in June which I have approved. Til then I expect her to irk every day from open to close. That was the deal.
**swampy **just posted in FB that his mom has been taken to hospice… 
Howdy Y’all! As moooooom posted, we are placin’ my mom in hospice care this afternoon. The paperwork stuff is done and we’re waitin’ on transport as I post. I’ve been anticipatin’ this but not quite as soon as this. I don’t know how long this will go on but I’m in Ye Olde Home Towne for the duration, I reckon. I’ll post updates as often as I can.
For now, however, prayers, good thoughts, etc will be muchly appreciated.
Kids today. No training in the classics.
I am so sorry to hear this. All prayers and good thoughts to you and your family. {{{Swampy}}}
Metal Mouse sorry about the clothes. Hopefully it went to someone in need. I’ll make up for it here. I’ve got a bunch to send in myself.
I shall make positive waves.
Spousal unit doesn’t want supper, so I’m having a bowl of soup.
It’s sunny and warm and gorgeous and I wish I had the energy to futz about in my garden, but I’m flat-out beat. Long, busy day…
We got mom settled in Hospice. Hospice workers are da bomb! Such nice people. Also, the place is uber nice! She ate all of her supper which is amazin’ as she’d gotten to the point she’d barely eat beyond breakfast each day. I think the fact that she is comfortable and not in a lot of pain is a big part of that. She’s gettin’ oxygen which she needed and meds for pain and discomfort as needed.
I have been on the phone with varied relations off and on all afternoon. I have taken it upon myself to be the point of contact for info as I see no need in them callin’ and buggin’ all the sibs and/or Hospice for info. I’ve also gotten lots of calls and texts from friends which I greatly appreciate. Thank y’all for all the kind comments. They really do mean a lot to me.
{{{Mumpers}}}
I’m glad to hear that she’s more comfortable Swampy. If there’s anything we can do to help out, please let us know. {{{Hugs}}}

Nice pictures spidey! When I worked graveyards, I used to see several hot air balloons weekend mornings once I got off the freeway when the weather was nice.
I haven’t hit a deer thus far in my driving career (knock wood), but I have hit a snake, a groundhog, a possum, a chicken and once, a dog. A deer would likely total the subcompact that I currently drive.
I felt a little better today, but I’m still manufacturing more snot than should be allowed by law.

It’s supposed to be cloudy today, with a high in the 70s, but it’s still too early/dark to tell.
I’m up a bit too early but I’m okay with that since I went to bed early.
Still working on taxes, something is wrong and I don’t know what. I made $X dollars more in 2016 than in 2015, and according to my paper irk I owe that $X + what I paid last year. :eek:
What’s the point of making more money if all of it goes straight to the government?
Still working on the lawn mower. I contacted the company for help and they said for me to register the lawn mower and they will send me a new one, but I’m not sure. When I first emailed them I gave them the wrong purchase date because I was estimating. I’ve had the lawnmower longer than I thought.
We’ll see.
If not, then I see a new lawnmower in my future.
I may need to sleep with Mel tonight. Lately it seems I doze off for a short period - just enough to take the edge off my fatigue - then I’m up for an hour or more, trying to fall back to sleep. So another bad night last night. ugh.
I think I’m going to talk to the boss today about doing 4-day work weeks, unless the workload gets really heavy. I’m not ready to retire completely, but I think a 3-day weekend every week would go a long way…
{{{{{swampy and MamaBear}}}}} - echoing **Sunny **- if there’s anything at all we can do for you, we’ll certainly try our best.
Big plan after work is to get a haircut. I should have done it 2 weeks ago - I feel scruffy. So if the no-appointments-needed place can take me pretty quick, I’ll be de-scruffified in short order. I hope.
Happy Wednesday!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work.
NHL Playoffs start today.
