One of my dogs has taken to barking in the middle of the night. Apparently my 4am alarm isn’t early enough, so she has decided to start barking at 2:30. So now I get to start my day with even less sleep then usual.
Why are you up too early?
I’m up, caffeinated, and sheveled this early, so I can go to work(and I leave an extra 30min early to beat the traffic)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ruble!!!
Also, First! W00T!
Generally, if I’m up too early, it’s because of my bladder. I woke around 4 this morning, but just rolled over and fell back to sleep till 5, so that doesn’t count. I’m claiming a full night. 
Magic drawing pixies didn’t come in and clear the workload from my desk, so I have stuff to do today. We’ve got in-house training at 2 this afternoon on something called WT parts. As I understand it, it has something to do with how the software handles data to produce a bill of material for a project. I’m not sure how it affects me as a drafter, but that’s why there’s training, right?
Other than that, just another day in paradise. My sweetie will be heading (by car) to FL on Thursday. He wants to go to Bike Week in Daytona, plus he was going to help his parents with something around their house. I’m not going because I’ve been to Bike Week a couple of times and it does absolutely nothing for me. Once you’ve seen the purse made from a bull scrotum, there’s nothing else to see. Seriously, I saw that in a shop in Daytona…
So Happy Moanday, and
Happy Ruble Day!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 57 Amurrkin out, cloudy, and drizzly with a predicted high of 77 and mostly cloudy for the day. I shall spiff up da cave this mornin’ and do laundry. Pepper steak made from leftover steak plus another I grilled up whilst grillin’ yestiddy shall be dindin. I get up when I wake up and have to go pee. I figure that’s as good a time as any. Really though seven is about the latest I ever sleep in.
And now this…
<AHEM> CLEARIN’ THROAT <AHEM>

Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, onward into the day! RAH!
Happy Moanday Y’all!
Happy Ruble Day!
I has a blurf. I am up early almost every day because I’m too hot or too cold. Hoppin’ hormones and all that sort of thing going on for me.
My weekend away with friends was very relaxing, we had no internet and no wifi which was quite refreshing and it meant we spent much more time talking than staring at phones.
Other than that, fun was had, drinks were drunk, food was scoffed, and we all had a very good time.
Happy Ruble Day!!
Happy birfday Ruble. I hope you get lets of presents, cake, and hugs on your special day. Other than that, I got nothing. Irk is irk and not yet too irksome. Looks like rain, perhaps a t-strom. Dinner will be a tuna melt. Love tuna melts. Unfortunately gave up chips for Lent. Chips are the perfect accompaniment to a tuna melt.
Hippo Birdies two ewe, Ruble!
And happy Moanday to everyone else!
Happy B-Day Ruble
Like FCM, my kidneys and bladder got me up at 3:30am, but I immediately went back to bed and didn’t arise until 8:30. Still have laundry to fold, but nothing else required (may shop for some practice soccer balls for the outdoor season).
Rain forecast for all day tomorrow, so I asked if I could do the test drive of the car I am looking at one Wednesday instead.
Happy Moonday!
It’s a N.O.S. 38 degrees outside.
Supposed to get up to 51.
Happy Birthday Ruble!
Why do I get up too early? I wish I knew.
My sleep schedule is a mess. No matter what time I go to bed I will wake up an hour and a half to two hours later and I won’t be able to fall back asleep. Then I’ll want a nap later in the day. Sometimes I try to stay awake hoping then I’ll sleep all night but it doesn’t work. Sometimes the dog wakes me, sometimes I can blame my bladder, but often enough I just wake up for no reason at all.
Grocery shopping is being put off until Wednesday, just because. We ordered pizza yesterday, which was annoying. I got a menu from a new place and we tried to order online. Their system is a mess, then when I finally got to the end of it, it wouldn’t accept my order because supposedly I already have an account with them, even though I don’t remember ever using them before and I have no idea what my account information is. I tried to order as a guest and it rejected that because it said my phone number was already in the system. So I couldn’t create a new account, it wouldn’t accept me as a guest, so I finally figured out what my sign-on is and went through the steps to create a new password, only to be told after that to call them because they are offline. WTF?
They couldn’t say they were offline from the start?
So we had Dominoes, not my favorite.
I have to call ATT to cancel direct tv. I already cancelled when I got the phone call to confirm but I’d better call them anyway.
Happy birthday, Rubble of the Jungle!
No idea why you’re getting Purple. Just felt like it. Apparently so did Sari and Pearl.
BLURF I was up early and at irk early cause I slept most of my partial weekend away. I guess I needed some sleep. My laptop is now acting up. I swear everytime I think I may have an extra dollar something else dies.
Happy Birthday Ruble I hope you have a great day.
I actually were up earlier than you with a toe cramp but didn’t feel like starting a thread. Went back to sleep about an hour after 5am and got up to get my free birthday lunch at the casino. Since I only played $4 worth of slots, I made out on the deal and the mussels were terrific!
Thanks for all the good wishes!! I am going to enjoy work and playing with all my friends there. Two co-workers share my birthday and the one looks like a much version of me; so much so that even his mother and father (we met at the picnic last summer) kidded me about it. I got a special silly hat to wear from Kings Island for the Beast rollercoaster that’s this French Foreign Legion thing with a long covering down the neck. It should be fun!
Happy birthday Ruble!
I had an appointment this morning, so I took the whole day off. On my way home, I stopped at the taco truck that I’ve been meaning to try for tacos lenguas (they’re good, but I’ll skip the green sauce next time). Now I have a load of clothes in the wash.
Howdy Y’all! Da cave is defilthyfied and dindin is prepped. I even have windows (the house kind) open. I hesitated to open windows because of the pine tree orgy but the only ones I opened open to the back porch so I think I’m good there. The fresh air feels good.
Sometimes I wonder if my mother will be the first person in our family to get diagnosed with dementia, or she’s having TIAs, or what…
“I can’t find the bread!” “Have you tried the breadbox?”
“Mom, can I have the hair dryer?” “The hair dryer?” “That thing in your hand.” “It’s very cute!” “Yes, it is also my hair dryer, can I have it?” “You want the hair dryer?” “Yes, I’d like to dry my hair.” “Ooooooh!”
“In the subway, could I go someplace else than to Verdaguer?” “Uh, well, yes, you could go to the airport; there’s signs saying which trains go to which direction.” “Oh, there’s signs?” “Yes, Mom, like in every subway station.”
It worries me but at the same time it’s the kind of situation where you can’t really do anything unless and until something pretty big happens. The kind of thing that clearly goes beyond “oh, she’s just easily distracted” and into “OMFG she just can’t be left alone” territory.
Someone must be really liked…there were a lot of Ruble’s used for today’s b-day! 
Toaster oven didn’t work right last night; for whatever reason, the countdown timer didn’t work. I put fish in for about 15 mins & when I went back ½ hour later, I had still cooking fish instead of cooled off fish. Since it was too hot to put it away, I left it on the stove to cool…& forgot about it & fell asleep; twas still sitting there when I came down this moaning. :smack: Luckily I had something else to bring for lunch today, but I’m so glad I spent money & 'lectricity to throw something out. :rolleyes:
Tugig, I should have your recommended camera later this week.
Happy Birthday Ruble!
It snowed overnight and then snowed more this morning. The kids got a snow day, which made 'Beamer very happy. 'Beamette has a migraine today, poor thing, so she’s just sleeping through it.
Hubby is back to California today. This is is his last trip for a little while. Huzzah!
Lots of geeses starting to fly by now. Hopefully Spring is not too far behind.
Happy Moanday all!
Happy Birthday, Ruble!.
I spent quite a lot of time looking for one of those French Foreign Legion hats a few years ago 'cause I hate getting my neck sunburned. It’s called a kepi, BTW. I ended up with something similar made out of canvas. It may look silly, but I like it.
My fitbit broke. Well, the wrist band part broke. Apparently this is a common occurrence for fitbits. I always thought, and still think, that they are way overpriced for what they are, but Wifey got me one for Christmas in 2015 and I have found it interesting to see my sleep patterns, and like being able to see my heart rate whenever i want without getting out the BP cuff. If it could tell me my blood pressure and better yet, my blood sugar, I’d love it. As it is, I’m debating replacing it. If I do, I’ll get a model with replaceable bands, even though they’re more expensive yet.
So looking at fitbits on amazon I see a little blurb on many, but not al,l of the models saying “Warning: Do not use if you have a pacemaker or other internal, or implanted medical device.” Thanks for mentioning that Fitbit. :dubious: I guess I’m done with fitbit.
