I had a dream last night that I was at my childhood piano teacher’s house, trying to play something. But I haven’t touched a piano in over a decade so it wasn’t going too well. Then it turned kind of steamy so we’ll leave it there. :o (I’m using this as the embarrassed smiley, not the blow job smiley! It wasn’t that steamy!)
One of my high school teachers died very suddenly when I was in college. I had dreams about him for a couple years after that. Usually dreams where he was alive and I was confused and said things like “They said you were dead.”
And even though it’s been 13 years since high school, up until recently, my classmates were usually the ones who appeared in my dreams, not people that I’ve met since or who I know now.
Not a dream - we had real excitement at work yesterday. The transformer across from our building exploded. I saw it when I was coming back from lunch. I thought for a second that someone was shooting off fireworks. And I wondered why someone was doing that in an office park in the middle of the day in the rain. Then I saw that the light show was coming from the transformer and went “Hmm… there isn’t going to be power on when I get inside, is there?” They were saying 2-4 hours to get power back so a lot of people left. I was just getting ready to go after almost an hour, and the power came back on. So I didn’t get to leave early. Oh well. It still broke up the day and was more interesting than a normal Monday!
Stoopit dentist appt started 15 minutes late. They’re usually so prompt. I was not happy. Oh well - good till June now.
Happy Day, **Nooner **and Meeks!!
**BBBobbio **- knock on the door or ring the bell - with luck, I’ll hear you! Incidentally, I PM’d my phone number to you, in case you didn’t have it.
Cozmo is a mental case, just to let you know. A few minutes ago he was gnawing noisily on something and I looked down to see a set of toenail clippers in his mouth. Idiot dog!
**FCD **went to see the surgeon who did 2 of his 4 surgeries. His back has been bothering him and he didn’t really trust the last guy who worked on him, so back to Baltimore he went. He should be home in an hour and I’ll find out what the story is.
Other than that, nothing exciting. Just another freekin’ day in paradise.
So MOOOOOOM and BBBobbio are meetin’ up. Use your manners BBBobbio cause she’s got class and couth and stuff.
We et at the [del]hog trough[/del] all you can eat buffet. ‘Twas good. I’s stuffded. It looks stormy out. The stuff Annie got yesterday we’re supposed to be gettin’ here in the next few hours. Woo and Hoo.
Then again I do like me some thunderboomers as long as it does not get all tornadoish (is too a word!).
swampster, **BBBobbio **has already been to FairyChatEstates - he saw it when it was fully ugly! He’s in for a treat, I mean apart from getting to spend time with me.
FCD was told by the doctor that there is nothing wrong with him - at least nothing the requires surgery. He has merely overdone it (hmmmmm, I seem to recall someone telling him to take it easy… ) so he came home with a handful of prescriptions. We met at Bert’s and had supper, and now we’re home chillin’.
Well, except for me. While we were waiting for our food, I felt something weird on my neck - it was a TICK!!! A @(%^%(*^(%@& TICK!!! ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK ICK!!!* Daughter gave it a burial at sea… er… at toilet. And I still feel all itchy! ick.
Don’t forget to duck! Last night was fun. Our local editorial cartoonist started a drinking game for every time a meteorologist said the word “rotation.”
I can see! Well, partially. Out of the now-cataractless eye, I can see great, long distance; can’t read the writing on my prescription bottles, however. Out of the other eye, I see somewhat clearly close-up, w/o glasses. I am currently going without glasses just because it’s easier - and with them it hurts the one eye I can see out of now. LOL I’m definitely having the other eye done! Oh and wouldn’t you know it, my BP was down considerably today at the follow-up appointment! I still haven’t tried reading yet; I haven’t been able to read comfortably in a while (I normally read laying down), and I guess I’m afraid of being disappointed. Thanks to -everyone- for the good thoughts and especially the prayers, though; it helped tremendously!! I apologize for being so focused on this surgery but it’s been a big part of what’s going on with me lately. And even though I haven’t been that talkative, I’ve been keeping up with as much as I can - it’s just been hard to write/type. Edited to add here: I will get measured for new glasses in about 4 weeks, after my eye has healed more.
That storm is supposedly headed my way for tomorrow, and with 50-60 MPH winds :eek: Flash flood warnings are already up. I’ve decided not to chance it and will stay out of work another day. My balance is not good, and with wind-driven rains … the chances are not good for me, or rather, the chances are good that I’ll slip and fall. Thursday and Friday are supposed to be December-like weather – chilly! That’s okay, as long as there is none of that four letter word that starts with S and ends with W!
Happy Birthday to both SpecialOne and Meeks!!! Apologies for being so late, although I got SO already on facebook. Happy Hump Day for tomorrow, and those who have the rough weather headed their way, take it easy.
All the dreams everyone has recounted are keeping me quite entertained.
We’ve had rain all day, but nothing particularly alarming.
So glad that the surgery has made such a difference, tarra. Don’t worry about making a big deal about it; it IS a big deal. I’ll bet the reading will be much easier once you’re healed up; you might need reading glasses, but at the very least, it will be much better than where you were pre-op.
Good luck on your surgery, Lucky.
Soapy…we all think what Ruble said; he just said it much better.
Is the baby here, yet, hermette?
About that tick, FCM: ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Went out to get a bed frame today. Found a really sturdy one - for a reasonable price - at the place where I got my mattress set (Original Mattress Factory - they rock!). Now I can put some under-bed boxes…under my bed. One of those little adjustments I need to make while my brother is here.
Someday, I should learn how to do the “look busy” thing. I am busy, but because I’m one of those people who think a lot before we actually start typing (there may be two different lines between my first draft and the final version, for a 50-page document), I don’t look busy enough
What’s got me confused is that I’ve been told to do the things I’m already doing (help some coworkers with documentation; I’ve already written half a dozen of the docs I’ve been told to start on).
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. The storms last night were a big bust. Some rain and wind but that’s it. I was asleep by nine because the rain sounded soooooo good on the roof. That’s the best thing in the world to fall asleep to, IMO.
MOOOOOOM I’d forgotten BBBobbio and you had already met. That means y’all are reasonably sure each other is not an axe murderer then. ICK on the tick! Look! A rhyme!
Herbs glad you can see.
One of the effects of last night is a buncha leaves fell from my bradford pear trees. Guess that means I should rake. YUCK! That’s the yahd chore I hate most.
nava read every thread on the Dope. That’ll keep ya busy.
Ok, need more caffiene and tummy is rumbly. Later Y’all!
My haircut place is closin’. This makes da bear sad. However, Janeen who always cuts OKYW’s and my hair let me know that when she moves to her new place we’ll still be able to get a haircut for eight bucks, so now I’m a happy bear. Matter of fact she also gives haircuts to several other people I know such as JDD and partner, JDDBro and thing he lives with (we don’t like thing he lives with, can y’all tell? ) and several others. Thus I told her I shall spread the word of her new location in case nobody come in for a haircut before she moves. This made her happy. She told me that a bunch of her “regulars” have told her the same thing. Hey, she’s good and a haircut for eight bucks is even better!
In case y’all haven’t figured it out, I got a haircut. I’ve also been to the grocery sto’. The Pig has cabbage on sale! Thus dindin tomorrow shall be meatloaf, mac & cheese and cabbage. One of my favorite meals! Tonight is soup that didn’t get et last night.
I made a wire transfer on Monday to the escrow account, all day Monday and yesterday we on either end searched for it, it didn’t go through, both ends were told it would be there by this morning at the latest.
It isn’t.
It is back in my bank account.
I have never liked this bank, and this is the last straw. Once this transaction goes through I am going to close that account and start an account in a different bank.
