This! This is why I don’t do housework; it’s dangerous & could cause an injury. Better safe than sorry! :rolleyes:
I is a trained medical perfeshunal; beer runs are not appropriate for hip injuries. You’ll have to get up to go pee which will be hard on your him. Hard alcohol is a much better choice!
Good luck, Sticky
Rosebuds are my grandnephew and grandniece. But since that’s too long to say everytime, I’ve dubbed them “Rosebuds”. They’re my bro’s grandkids, my older nephew’s kids.
Nice place Rosie! I think I spotted someone being smothered by the cats. Might want to save them.
**Sticky **as a frequent flyer to doctors and hospitals I highly recommend you don’t torture yourself with self diagnosis. Last year I wasn’t feeling well, feared the worst and shelled out about $4k in medical work to realize that my work truck was putting out too much smoke, making me ill. They fixed it and I got better…
Speaking of which, it’s a sad day for me at work. My venerable old work truck, Unit 5, the bastard stepchild of the fleet, was parked for good today. I was driving around and the brakes acted up pretty bad - not unusual a day after driving through deep water. However I complained to management about it and the decision was made that it was a legal liability, so it’s done.
I really can’t disagree - hell I have the dash cams to cover my ass in case of an accident. But still it makes me a little sad to see my old partner get put out to pasture, all of a sudden.
We’ll have to wait & see what I draw to replace it long term.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 58 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of only 70 for the day and, of course, rain. The weather PTB say the rain will go away this afternoon. I would like (ok, maybe not like) to mow da yahd this evenin’ if at all possible. We’re doin’ a low country boil tomorrow which means folks have been invitated to partake. I’d like the yahd to be lookin’ somewhat decent.
Ok, that’s all I got for now. Oh, I can drive my usual route to irk this mornin’ so there’s that. Time for more caffiene and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. At least it’s Firday.
Higgs is getting better - she slept till 5 this morning. **FCD **took her out and we hoped she’d crash with us and snooze a little longer. You can see how that’s worked out! Except I fed her, and now she’s back in bed with her daddy, and here I am. But that’s fine. I’ll be leaving in a couple of hours to take the van back to my mom and take her car shopping.
I put in some freebie ads to get rid of the floor tiles and leftover laminate, including our phone number, and all our responses are via email. Whatever. Someone is coming tomorrow to get the laminate, and I’ve got 2 people on the line for the tiles. Here’s hoping at least one of them will come thru. I need that crap out of my garage!!
Next Florida trip is tentatively planned - **FCD **will drive down on May 11, bring his folks to our house on May 12, they’ll chill here on the 13th, then go to Duke on the 14th for FIL’s appointment. At that time, they’re supposed to set up his next procedure within a week, so they’ll stay here in the interim. I need to plan out what we’re going to eat - I have 3 or 4 meals covered so far, but I need at least 10, I think. And the guest room will need a good cleaning, plus sheets. We didn’t bother making the bed after they stayed here the last time. If you throw a comforter over a mattress, no one can tell!
Tomorrow will be yard work day. Today will be lunch with Mom and visiting at least 2 car lots. I doubt that she’ll buy today, but with luck, she’ll narrow her focus and get a better idea of what she wants.
I am at irk. It is irksome. Line manager has refused to authorise my holiday time off because it inconveniencs her. Well, it inconveniences me a whole lot more not to be going to Mexico…so to Mexico I shall go, and she can deal with it however she likes. Of course, that meant a whining phone call to my agency this morning, and then them calling me to ask if I can change my plans. Fat chance, that’s what I say.
Bring on the horde of Sri Lankan spiders with extra-sharp pointy sticks 'cos she’ll be getting a load of those invading her office next.
It’s a beautiful morning, even though it was some damn car alarm that woke me. It’s 51 degrees with a projected high of 69. I slept with my window open even though somebody turned on the AC last night.
I made taco pie for Sah-son last night and he was not impressed. So we can cross that off the list of things to make, along with flan and baked inside the apple apple pies. The pies were good but not worth the work.
Today is payday and it’s nice to see my checking account start to look presentable again.
Going out for lunch today. I don’t know where yet, Maybe we’ll go out to Williamsport and go across the bridge and see what we find.
Gigity it’s all the same cat. I just love taking pictures of her.
The sun is actually out and shining! I shall venture outside later today. (I have to anyway - it’s the only way to get rid of trash and pick up mail.)
Ugh. Had to get up earlier than usual, since I have to be at work at 0700 today (this is a new thing). For bonus points, I have an evening class today, so will be away from home for a LONG time, and we’re scheduled for near-record high temps (93 is the projected high).
A shrine worthy miracle has ocurred! One of my biggest problem chilluns has become employed. A year ago, I would have bet she would be gone in three months. However, she made some kind of miraculous turnaround in attitude, appearance and cooperation. YAY! She shall be my third quarter success story for sure.
This bein’ the the first of the month (ok it’s really the second but I was forced to irk from da cave yestiddy remember) I am mired in end of the month/first of the month paperirk. So far I’ve gotten through quite a bit of it so there’s that.
MOOOOOOM happy vehicle huntin’!
ruble how rude of the SWAT team not to include you!
N.O.L. has been ingested. A turkey sammich and some chips. Borin’ but it’ll keep me goin’ until the next feed which will be pizza. YAY! Also, the rain has stopped and a bright yellow thing is tryin’ to show up in the sky.
