At irk. The power has been off for a few minutes twice today. :rolleyes: Can’t get anything done with no power. I am kind of hoping for a gov’t shutdown as my office is one that would have to close. I could do with some time off. Of course I could just schedule a vacation. :smack: We had more rain overnight which brings our total up to about 8 inches in the last 10 days. Some places have had more than that. OK I must get back to irk before the power goes out again. ---

Yet another day of NOTHING!! I took my paperbook copy of The Thorn Birds to read - I got thru close to 300 pages. And I was freezing! It was warmish outside so I didn’t bother with taking a sweater. Mistake - the office was like a meat locker. I’ll be prepared tomorrow. Rain is moving in - yay! Other than that, I got nothing. And I’m not thinking about anyone’s nipples… :eek: Happy end of Tuesday. ---

Howdy Y’all! Irk was survived. Dindin has been cooked and consumed, and the kitchen is clean. No rain today. As a matter of fact the sun is shinin’ and it’s real warm out. :dubious: **{{{Big Kitty}}}** feel better soonest. **Nettie** it will all be survived. **Ruble** it’s early yet but you’re way in the lead for most TMI post of the week. :eek: **Taters** do me a favor and slap **flytrap** with a wet trout whilst you are in Arkansas. 😃 I am takin’ this Firday off, so only two more days of irk for da bear! YAY! That is all. ---

Dinner was egg drop soup and ginger chicken courtesy of the Chinese Place That Delivers. That counts as chicken noodle soup, right? ---

Been a busy day. We had a minor flood in the kitchen - I unhooked the washer and dropped the hose. Who knew so much water could run out so quickly? Kind of annoying too because I had just washed all the towels so I had to use clean ones to sop up the mess and then wash another load. I put the rug outside and spread it on the deck but I doubt it will dry. It’s so humid we turned on the AC. Finally figured out what was wrong with the dehumidifier, filter was clogged, and got that fixed. I have a pretty purple flower growing in the back yard. I have no idea what it is, the stalk is about 2 feet high with a few other stalks branching off. There are 5 big flowers on it. Just sprouted up. Could be a weed for all I know. I’ll try to post a pic later and maybe somebody here will know what it is. ---

I am most wroth at my fortune cookie fortune. It is not fun at all. **"The evening promises romantic interests."** No entendre to be had. Not a one. I demand a refund. ---

Miss **Rosie** (may I call you so familiarly? 😃 ) , I read your travel thread but didn’t have any directly applicable advice. I do have kinda applicable experience traveling with disabled people, one being me, and what I came away with was 1) it took around 3 months to identify and get and clarify all the issues and clearances and documents I needed, and 2) the information and folks available at the TSA website for traveling with a disability were really helpful, and 3) stuff happens, best to be ready to be flexible and don’t be afraid to ask for help, and most important 4) I would do it all again, the end experience of seeing friends/family and feeling of empowerment from accomplishing it were really worth it. For me. Your mileage is your trip, of course 🙂 Good fortune attend you either way. For today, any day not in that #%€?!!ing hospital is a good one, so today is a good day 😃 ---

The trip I’m considering isn’t until end of June '16 so I still have a few weeks to sort it all out and make the plans. Part of me is saying “oy! such a hassle!” and another part is saying “But it’s San Diego!” We shall see who wins. ---

Dishwasher is washing dishes (how convenient!!) Lunches are pretty much ready for tomorrow. It’s raining. A certain canine woke me at 4AM again. I’s tahred!!! And I figured out why my time card didn’t save - I entered my time in military time, without using the colon. When I added the colon, it worked. YAY!! We saw the new Daily Show episode tonight - I think Trevor did a good job and I look forward to watching him grow into the show. And now - time to recline and crochet. Early bedtime tonight, methinks… ---
