The Pumpkin Spice MMP

Spidey if Herbie flew around all over the place attached to his mate then I would hate him.

On that note, I shall join OYKW in the boudoir where he slumbers. He has to irk tomorrow. I don’t.

Nitey Nite Y’all!

It’s too bad they don’t taste like they used to.

Got the girls all hitched. One set of parents came in from Oregon and the other from Germany. The dancing was still going on when I left around 8:30. Both bands were excellent and everyone brought good food.

I’s tahred! :slight_smile:

Twas busy at work, so I labored hard. I hate the lessening daylight of fall, and the cold. I do welcome back hockey(no surprise there. :wink: ) Making pasta with chicken and olves and spinach with portabellos for dinner.

We’re more of a beer and liquor group. I do like a good red, though.

I plan on growing up when they start shoving dirt on my face.

Well I am all packed I think. Such a chore deciding what to take and ironing. Up and and at 'em early. Flight at 11 which means I have to leave the house no later than 0830. Daggum extra hour at the airport. Then I have a 2 hour layover in Miami. All damn day for two hours of flight time.

Grrrrrrrrr, ugggghh, and Blurf.

Dishes are washing, laundry is launding. Very loud laundry, thanks to a pair of overalls.

Second major holiday as an unwillingly single man is nearly over.

Here in the Deep South, September is still summer, just with slightly less heat, and more bugs (love bugs serve no purpose other than to destroy car paint jobs). I am looking forward to fall (all two days of it) when it comes around in November.

And I can’t get to sleep. Again. Why me?

I don’t know but I thought I would join you. Slight headache and waiting for the aspirin to kick in.

Hope the trip goes ok Butters!

Back from CA. DH left this morning for CA himself, so we were ships passing briefly in the night. Tomorrow I meet with the school about the Boy Child, and Weds school officially starts. :eek:

It has started raining here in OR, and I am happy! The weather is in the low 70s, and we’re doing mixed rain and sun. I like it! We actually get to open windows. :smiley:

Sleep, what’s that?

I’m on the evening shift most days, usually lights out around 2:30am, up around 9:30am give or take.

My doctor has me trying a new medicine that has done wonders for some lingering leg pain issues, but has the unfortunate effect of making me feel a bit hungover when I wake up. That pain goes away on it’s own after a few minutes but it still isn’t fun.

Otherwise nothing new here. Worked Monday but it was an easy day.

Hope everyone’s well.

Tugig - what’s the medicine, if you don’t mind me asking? I have some nerve damage. My doctor is pushing me to try Lyrica, but I’m resisting…

I’m at work. Dunnow what the hell for. Bleagh.

Morning all - hope the spoons have returned to you, rosie!

I felt like I got more sleep last night although I was awake at 3.35am, and again hourly after that until it was time to get up at 6.30am. I still managed to faff about enough that I was late leaving the house even though last night I’d already prepared today’s lunch (and taken fruit out of the freezer to defrost for snackage).

Today is a busy day in the world of academia, but at least I’ve managed to cut it down to only three meetings…

And if anyone comes near my cuppa with pumpkin spice, they will feel the wrath of all bad things!

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’ though I have no idea why. YAWN 'Tis 66 Amurrkin out and well, still dark with a predicted high of 90 and mostly sunny. My bladder woke me up a little after five so up I am. Maybe I’ll go back to bed in a bit. Dindin will be my world famous Eyetalian chikin with whatever vegetative matter etc I decide.

Butters have a safe trip! I’ve flown from Tallahassee to Miami before. Ttown is about a hunnert miles from da cave so I drove there. The whole trip took just under four hours which ain’t bad bein’ as I have done such things as drive from here to Boca which is an all day long trip. Anywho, hope the trip and meetin’s go okay.

OK, I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then, well who knows. I can be willy-nilly. I am retired. :smiley:

Happy Tuesday Y’all!

I went to bed with Mel last night and was unconscious before 9, which made up for being awake a big chunk of Sunday night. Unfortunately, Ziva had snuck into the room with me and hid under the bed, and about 9:40, she started bonking up against the door to get out, and it woke me. I freed her from bedroom confinement and crawled back into bed, and before too long, I was out again. For the most part, a restful night.

Now I’ve got to remember what the heck I was doing on Firday and what questions I had for the boss. There’s a pile of papers here with all kinds of notes in my handwriting - perhaps I’ll find a clue?!?

Question for dreamers: Have you ever had a dream that took place in, for example, your childhood home or your first job, and you knew that’s where you were, but it really wasn’t that place? Like once I dreamed there was a doorway out of the basement of the house where I grew up and it lead to a beautiful, bucolic meadow. In reality, if a door had been on that wall, it would have led into the neighbor’s basement (I lived in a row house.) Or the setting was the last place I worked before retiring, except the building entrance was different, and all the walls were light blue instead of the goldish/greenish wallpaper, and part of the building was a medical facility… Dreams are weird anyway - why would they get weirder by changing familiar places?

And on that note - onward into the day!! Happy Tuesday!

I feel a bit better today, thanks for all the good vibes. Yesterday started like a normal morning, but after breakfast I felt so sleepy, almost drugged. I didn’t like it at all. I slept until about 4pm, at which point I thought it prudent to eat something, which I did, and promptly went right back to sleep. Had a bunch of weird dreams involving spies and traffic jams and bathrooms that didn’t work. I’m still foggy today, but I feel more normal.

Up ,caffeinated, and sheveled. I’m going to watch practice in a bit.

Thinking about leftover steak for my lunch dinner. Doing doubles tomorrow and Friday so I figure to treat myself while I have the time to enjoy it.

If we didn’t put it out, that Holiday would be the one when trash was picked up on the regular day rather than waiting.
