Just received bombshell news from soon to be ex. In the end probably good news. Nevertheless no sleep for me as I scramble to get things done before she leaves tomorrow… forever.
It’s sticking now.
Last night was a melatonin night. It helped me to fall right to sleep. Unfortunately, after about 4 hours, I was wide awake again, having stupid dreams, and hearing things. Twice I was *certain *I heard the door between the kitchen and the garage being closed. So the second time, I got up. False alarm, of course. At that point, I woke FCD, because it was past his usual wake-up time. So now he’s off to work, I’m caffeinating, and I’d rather be sleeping…
**Bumba **- when did you move to Siberia? Surely the entire US is experiencing a record heat wave…
**Tugig **- hope the bombshell is good news for you.
Wait - 2 weeks to Easter? Who’s been messing with my calendar? That means we head to FL two weeks from tomorrow. Dang - too much to do and not a lot of time to do it… Gotta call the critter sitter and find the light timer.
Extra hugs to all dealing with crises, major and minor. Butt pinches to all who want them. Air kisses for everyone!!! Happy Thursday!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 65 Amurrkin with a predicted high of 84 and rain this afternoon.
gigity we await the news on pins and needles.
Ok that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and some brekkie. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Blurf. That is all.
Wow. Looks like I killded the thread in it’s sleep. 
I just volunteered with a corporate sponsored home makeover for an elderly vet that lives in Mooooooooom’s 'hood. Happens the last Saturday in April.
In my 'hood as in one of the three streets in my development, or in this general part of the county?
I’m about to go out and find a bank to break a $100 bill for me. When **FCD **was on travel last week, his minion managed to melt his (minion’s) credit card, so **FCD **charged both hotel rooms and minion paid him in cash. I hate trying to use a bill that big, so off to a bank. I sure hope they can make change even if I don’t have an account…
I’s hongree, too. I’m showered and dressed, but stahvink. I need a bank near a breakfast place. 
Generically described as Mechanicsville.
ah, so that narrows it down to anything from Charlotte Hall to Leonardtown…

My technique is to leave the dust alone. Then when a visitor writes their name or draws a picture in it I hand them a rag and a can of pledge and chastise them greatly for destroying the work of the ages.
Since we have a fairly newer crop of Mumpers sticking their heads up allow me to put in a plug for the SDMB Portrait Gallery
Considering submitting an image and swapping them with your friends, printing out hard copies to frighten mice from your home or as handy dart board targets if you spend a lot of time in GD.
Can I has nap now?
We made three dump runs on Tuesday, the dining room chandelier is up, curtains are up, the master bedroom closet system is up, most of our electrical work is done and there are fewer boxes in the garage. Probably 2/3 of them will go into the attic once I get that tidied up and ready for boxes. Trees trimmed, grass mowed, weeds weeded, bugs is sprayed for and the alarm system has been set right.
All that in two days.
Now, the big mystery is where the hanging cleat for a medicine cabinet disappeared to.
I woke up to snow on the ground. :rolleyes:
I am so thankful it’s my Friday. Very high level muckity mucks will be visiting our facility tomorrow. They, of course, will not be wandering around much, but still, where they will gather is right near my office and I’d just as soon not be near any of it.
Is it Friday yet?
'Tis for me. Your Mileage May Vary.[sup]tm[/sup]
Hate you. 
Well, that was fun! I just finished raking and dumping leaves from the front yard and my veggie patch in the back yard. There wasn’t enough for me to justify dragging out the mulcher, so I loaded the leaves into the little cart behind the mower and dumped them back in the woods. Five loads total, and now I’m all sweaty and icky-feeling. Shower to follow.
I’ve got a bunch of strawberry plants growing in the veggie patch - they really spread from last year. We shall see if I get a harvest. If not, I’ll yank 'em out. The blackberry bush is looking bushier than last year - maybe it’ll produce??
After I get cleaned up, I need to commence to making a chickie pot pie for supper. It won’t be hard, just time consuming. Oh how I suffer for my family… <assume dramatic pose of woe>
My Long Term Disability claim has been denied.
I am requesting that everyone send “hire her back” vibes to my HR folk
I’m home. Other than a 2 hour catnap in the Explorer around 5 this morning I have been running nonstop since yesterday morning.
Just after midnight last night my future ex informed me she was moving to Hawaii - today, as in boarding the plane as I write this. As we didn’t have a notarized separation agreement yet (verbally agreed - not set in stone) I spent the night doing the paperwork, ran into work at 3:00am to print it off, jumped in my personal vehicle, drove to Spotsylvania, napped for the 2hrs, picked her up at 9am, went to the notary then drove her to BWI 2 hrs away near Baltimore to catch her flight.
I am happy because it’s done, I am sad because I think she is making another epic mistake in a tragic life that is full of them, and I am many other emotions because of the misconceptions, lies and errors that fill this life. Oh and I am angry too. Very angry.
Now I have to deal with her children (who she dumped many of her problems on as she made the sudden escape). I had treated them as family until last summer when they disowned me for their convenience. That’s an anger that still burns hot. But I just have to get through the next few months and then it will all be over.
More things happened but I am not anxious to discuss them publicly. Right now I am going to sip some whiskey, drink a little Coke, maybe watch some Doc Martin and pass out.
I called in sick for the day. I have done that a lot of times for this marriage over the last 4 years. Today was the last.
In the spirit of the OP I did tell her I loved her today, and I meant it. But I am glad she’s gone.
Bumba, nope, I’m in Columbus, OH
rosie, I know, right? Seems like Tabernacles was just yesterday! Also ((()))). Hope things go well with HR!
Moooom, How do you make your Chickie Pot pie? I’m planning one for Dinner tonight, too!
In the meantime,I better get crackalacking on the house (Going out to lunch tomorrow, so won’t have as much time then.)
2gig Here’s to a new chapter in your life. May it be filled with good things & mended hearts.
LOve, Peace, & Chicken Grease!
