well if ya read my lasts post ya know how Fri and Sat was … yesterday wasn’t much better as i had to go to the store with a difficult aunts mood swings … and since we had ot have a sitter (whos a doozy herself) for my cousin we literally ran through two stores …
and before that nephew came over (thank god later than was originally planned) and heres the thing I introduced him to online gaming and he’s pretty good at it but when he plays a game where there’s an extensive community already there he tends to get whiny about things not being fair and why do anything if everyones just gonna squash him …and everyone’s cheating but he’s nine and i think dads using it as a life lesson but i get a headache when it happens …
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 72 Amurrkin out and clear (dark) with a predicted high of 95 and N.O.S. for the day. Today is cave spiffin’ day which I started last night by cleanin’ the kitchen. Folks are comin’ to measure the countertops this mornin’ so I felt I should make sure 'tis clean in there. Tonight is men’s night over to the church house so I shall head over there around four this afternoon to do prep and setup stuff. Fun day ahead.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day. Rah.
Yeah my weekend was really crappy too. Dreading another week of merciless user testing of my software. The “defect” count stands at 38, at least half of which are claimed to have been “requirements” that we gratuitously misunderstood :smack: In other news, my car AC is making strange noises, and I have left it at Firestone. Meaning I have to take the bus and leg it almost a mile to office. AND its Monday. :mad:
I forced myself to crawl out of bed at 6, since I have to go to work tomorrow and I need to readjust my inner clock. It’s so hard being me! <dramatic pose>
**FCD **is leaving around noon today to drive to Newtown, PA. He’s got a training class set up for tomorrow and the next day to learn to program his CNC mill with different software. The program he had been using was giving him fits, but this new one is supposed to be superior. Hope so - it’s costing enough for the training.
Anyway, that means I’ll be without adult supervision till late Weds. Daughter has class today and Weds after her teaching day is done, and both daughter and SIL have an evening class on Tues, so I’ll have Roxy right thru bedtime. That’s pretty much the excitement of my next few days.
As for today, my only plan is a trip to Zimmerman’s for some 'maters and whatever else they have that looks good. And maybe I’ll clean the bathroom. Or not. We shall see.
I’m home from the dog park and no MMP waiting for me?
So, I checked my phone
and Happy Moonday!
It’s going to be a hot 86 degrees today.
This morning was cool though, so a nice time at the park.
I am grumpy today though. Lots of people plucking my nerves this morning.
I suppose I could mention it later, but still too blurfy to get into anything.
Have to go to the eye doc today, and the regular doc on Wednesday.
Tone of phone calls to make today, always good for making me even grumpier.
Up, showered, dressed, only two cuppsa joe. I’m about to take the Prius into the shop to have a sound checked out. I’m concerned it might be a bearing.
Blurfage. Off today and with a hundred things to do cleaning wise. I have already showered and ventured out to the PO. My friend and colleague is in Jupiter FL since her father is hospitalized at the VA hospital there. She didn’t take enough of her cholesterol pills with her so I had to go overnight them. Why wouldn’t she just take the bottle vs a weeks worth. I just don’t get that. Shouldn’t they be in the original container anyway? Overnight mail is damn expensive. It was $25.50. She will pay me back and normally I would say don’t worry about it but I need my money back.
Our TV cable box in the living area has been fubar and stuck on the weather channel for weeks. I finally called Comcast and they sent a signal to reset it and now it’s working. Don’t even know why I had not done that sooner.
**Butters **- for future reference (hope you don’t need it) our insurance company told me that you can get a “vacation pack” (I think that’s the term) if you go to a branch of your pharmacy where you’re staying and they can give you a week or 2 of pills. Of course, it doesn’t work if you don’t use a major chain - we’re with CVS and they’re everywhere. I went thru something similar last year before we left on our cruise because I left my pills home instead of putting them in my luggage. :smack: Luckily, I was able to get what I needed and all was well. But I always take more than I expect to need, just in case of delays.
Roxy is napping. **FCD **is packing. I should run the vacuum cleaner, but not till the baby wakes up. All in all, a quiet morning.
Neither of the two pictures I really wanted this weekend happened & now I need to wait months to even try again. I filled up my gas tank last Friday, Moanday, Wednesday, & yesterday. (My commute is only 2½ miles each way). Looking forward to a couple of days of very limited driving & being at home in the evenings…until Firday when I go away, again. I think I finally have the pics downloaded & backed up (2000+ since last weekend @ 9 events); now I need to delete them from the cameras & make sure the batteries are all charged for this coming weekend.
I now have a toofbrush at the GF’s house (mainly because I forgot my toiletries bag). I guess it’s getting serious…1⅓ years in. :rolleyes:
Morning all. Slept in until 7am, think I recovered from Sattiday’s excursions enough to face the week (temps close to 90F and all my soccer practices). Probably mow the grass Wednesday or Thursday, still no rain in the forecast this week, so will run up the water bill again watering the yard post-mowage.
Going to try a new place for my Moanday sub sammich, place called GreecetoRome, so of course I can get a Ham-n-Cheese sub there…
I don’t usually take it, but just north of Center City there’s typically a mile or two of backup, where I-676 merges into it & then there’s construction just north of that.
How would we know? The MMP is already confusing enough.
Thanks, Spidey. He’s on his way now, a bit earlier than originally intended. With luck, he won’t get caught up in any commuter mess and he won’t get to the hotel till after 3, so he can check in right away.
