I know this thread is for posting what you’ve done today, but I’ve accomplished so little.
There’s a bottle of vodka in the freezer for some reason. Not mine, obviously. If I hadn’t quit drinking I’d probably be attacking it right now. It’s beyond tempting. And yes, I know drinking in the morning is wrong, but it hasn’t stopped me before.
{{{Midget}}} come in here and carry on all you want. We lurves ya!
red scattered, smothered, covered chunked is wunnerful, but I likes me some WH pee-kahn waffles! Also, scattered, smothered, covered chunked sounds like somebody threw up on some hashbrowns.
The most dramatic of all drama queens I (and everyone who knows him) know is tryin’ to wrangle an invite to Turkey Day at da cave. I have had four increasingly dramatic texts from him this mornin’. Out of curiosity I checked with OYKW, JDD, JDD Partner, and a couple of others, and DQ is also drama textin’ them. The general consensus is AWW HELLS NAW!!! Really we have very, very, very little to do with him because he is such a tiara wearin’ drama queen. I texted him to say sorry, but there’s no room to accomodate anybody else. I have also put his number on ignore because I know the DQ well enough to know he’ll start with not only texts but voicemails. I shudder to think how many times he may have called my landline already. I think I shall check landline vms and ignore his number there as well. Not even he would have the nerve to just show up Thursday. I think. He’s been to da cave twice in the whole time I’ve lived there. The last time he rode in on a whole herd of drama llamas in full DQ tiara wearin’ regalia, he was given the choice of leavin’ on his own or courtesy of the local constabulary. Just why would he even think he could get an invite. Oh yeah, tiara wearin’ DQ who believes the world revolves around him. :rolleyes:
Other than that it’s been a typical irk day. How Y’all doin’ (in a non-flirtative way, of course)?
Midget, if you know there’s a problem with how you view the world, then you have the power to change it. If you need the help of a profesional thereapist, find one. Otherwise, is there someone you trust enough to talk to? A clergyman? A professor? A bartender? (remember, though, if you choose the third option, stick to gingerale. )
Yeah, there used to be people I could talk to, but I kind of fell through the cracks lately. And there are things I wouldn’t want to tell a therapist, so that kind of scares me. I don’t know.
I should kick my own butt and try to get around to doing stuff today.
Hey, I gots lots of ginger ale on hand at the moment, with 3 cats and 2 dogs that all love having their butts skritched. Casa Vunder will be cheaper than pro therapy, just sayin’…
My sister’s scooter is done. If you’re interested in the pics… I really need to figure out how to take the photos without glare and without spending a fortune on indirect flash and such. Anyway, I think he done good. We’ll deliver it on Thursday - the traditional Thanksgiving offering - a skull-covered scooter!
MOOOOOOM you really should tie a bunch of pink and purple ribbons on the handle bars.
I have decided that my new favorite function on my cell and landline is ignore. It tends to decrease drama. Also, N.O.L. has been ingested and tummy is happy for now.
OYKW and I made the executive decision to attempt pound cake bakeage tomorrow evenin’ instead of tonight. Thus tonight I shall do stuff like boil up the turkey innards (the neck, liver, and such) so’s there will be turkey broth, plus the innards with which to make the giblet gravy. I shall also cook the collard greens tonight cause they’re best when cooked ahead and heated up to eat.
Sounds like a thing to do on a rainy, dreary evenin’ does it not?
**swampy **- I wish I could find the perfect set of streamers for her handle grips. I must think on it.
I just discovered my ignore function and I used it for the first time yesterday. I shall press it into service often!
Towels are folded and put away. FIL will have his other knee replaced in January. That’s the updates from here. I think I’ll go crochet for a while. The butter for the cookies is still a bit stiff.
flytrap, in case you have designs on becomin’ a decorator, my advise is don’t quit your day job.
So, TPTB have decided that tomorrow can be an extra day off or it can be taken another time. I have decided to irk tomorrow as next week is the first of the month and that means many reports. I shall use the time to begin that chore as I have pretty much all the data I need for November as of now. [del]Minions[/del] Assistants have decided they’ll take tomorrow off. Thus I shall be sans adult supervision at irk tomorrow.
MOOOOOOM like I said, ignore is the best function on my phone. I likes it I does!
Swampy, this is wrong & unacceptable! Everyone knows that “DQ” stands for Dairy Queen, which would be very much enjoyed at Thanksgiving dinner. You need to find a different choice of letters! (But, I do like the line, “he rode in on a whole herd of drama llamas in full DQ tiara wearin’ regalia”)
Paging scootergirl, paging scootergirl, please come to the MMP stat.
I just had another conversation with a participant about how I cannot help him access the website so he can view or print out paystubs. I have no idea of anyone’s username or password as each person sets up his/her own account. Mind you, I help a lot of people set up accounts but when it gets to the choose username and password part of it all, I make each person put in his/her own. I do not know them, I do not need to know them, I do not want to know them. I even provide paper and pen so that each person can write down the username and password should the person so desire. After that all I can do is point to the toll free number that will put you in call center hell. If I forgot my own I’d have to do the same thing. Sigh. I work with “mature” adults folks.
ETA: BBBobbio this one is Disney World on Gay Day drama.
I’m not very good at commisserating, but I can get behind wishing (((shoe))) cats. Or at least the emotional equivalent of having a purring cat in your lap.
I can get behind that, too. A toast for scareymum on turkey day.
And I’m finishing up N.O.L., which was a big, taco truck chicken super burrito. The super is mostly sour cream, but they claim there is some cheese in there, too.
