Wow! More birthday wishes! Thank you all! In two hours I will be kidnapped. One of my friends already sent me a note asking if I was ready to shop until I drop. ---

\*\*gotti \*\*- yay for DH - what’s the new job? [/QUOTE] Helping run the office at a furniture store. He’s got loads of experience as an office manager and administrator, so this is just a minor departure from doing it in the boring corporate world. Enough stalling… I **really** need to cut that grass! ---

Kitchen clean, both bathrooms scrubbed, toilets scrubbed, shower cleaned, mirrors cleaned and **mr ems** has vacuumed and is steam mopping our bathroom right now. All that is left to do is dust which I shall do after a wuick water break. I should get outside and wash windows but my excuse is it is windy and there is a bunch of dust in the air so it it pointless 😃 Then I must shower and get some clean clothes on. And lunch also I am suddenly starving! ---

I can’t walk. This is not good. For a few weeks now I’ve been getting pain in my left hip/groin area every time I stand up and take a few steps but then it passes and I’m fine. Today it not only wont go away, it’s getting worse, to the point that I need a cane to walk. I called Urgent Care but they don’t take my insurance so they said to call my primary doctor. My primary doctor is off today and another is filling in on-call. I called the on-call doctor and left a message so now I have to wait for him to call me back. I don’t think this is an ER problem, it’s probably just a pulled muscle or pinched nerve but not being able to walk is a bit of a hinderance and I’d like it to stop because it’s a beautiful out and I have 48SF of mulch to put down. ☹ On the plus side, my wasp sting doesn’t hurt any more. ---

Oh man. I guess I didn’t wash my hands and get the yukky clothes off fast enough. I’ve been, ah, indisposed all day. I’m not as bad as hubby, I’m able to stay hydrated. I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday at 4:00 PM, so I’m shaky, but not able to eat. THIS SUCKS! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 58 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 86 for the day. I know how much y’all look forward to the mornin’ weather report. **gotti** invest it in facebook. 😃 **shortdrum** and **picu** hope whatever’s ailin’ y’all is better today. Yestiddy afternoon/evenin’ was spent at two friends’ place down in large and in charge Pelham, Jawja. They called and invitated us along with JDD and Partner so we all rode down together. We grilled steaks, chilled, drank, laughed and other stuff. Really fun to get together like that and just relax. They have a farm so I even got to visit with the cows and horses. What? I like cows and horses. Today I get to be a Lector at church. Not the cannibal kind, the kind that reads a lesson. However, I don’t know what the lesson is yet because I’m doin’ this as a fill in. Thus I must needs to get to the church house a bit early to practice readin’. Yes practice. It just would not do to get to the Lectern and fumble around with words. Now I need more caffiene. Rumbly tummy wants to be fed. I think OYKW should take me to brekkie. I shall tell that to him. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Good morning! We’re having a lovely, cool series of evenings - perfect sleeping weather. Sadly, I didn’t have a perfect sleep last night. I was having a stupid dream that I can’t even remember, but I kept waking up. I finally quit pretending a little after 7 and left my sweetie to snooze away in peace. He said he’s going to head out around noon. After he’s gone, I’ll load the truck for a run to the convenience center. That pretty much sums up my big plans for the day. rah. The weather isn’t going to be as horrible as originally forecast - instead of rain all week, there are chances of showers every day, never more than 60% - so I may get to spend some quality time outside between rains. Other than that, I got nothin’ - I’m kinda tired but too awake to fall back to sleep. With luck, that’ll translate to an early night tonight. Happy Sunday! ---

Good morning! Big day for me. In an hour I will load up and head to the Spotsylvania house to clean it up and mow the lawn. Also I will be joining my soon to be ex’s daughter and I will haul a horse & pony that were formerly my wife’s and are now owned by her children. I imagine this will be an emotional day.
