Ahhh Nettie you aren’t the only one, I started to say Happy Moonday!
Happy Thorsday!
Happy New Year’s Eve!
Happy Baker Birthday!
It’s been foggy and not so cold outside, 47 degrees right now. Then it looks like the temps are going to dip below freezing every night.
I have to find the box my phone came in, the battery isn’t holding a charge anymore.
I woke up to a dead phone, and it was at 100% battery level when I went to bed. I’m pretty sure I have a spare battery in the box, if I can remember where I put it.
Now that my phone is alive again I see that today is payday. I need to shift some money around and pay some bills.
Not doing anything for NYE.
Probably irk, which I need to do more of.
I hope FCMmom and Mrs Bobbio feel better soon.
I’m hungry, need to get something to eat and then log in to irk
At work with the other 3-4 people who either don’t have leave to take or don’t want to take it at this time (raises hand). Expect that sometime after launch we’ll be sent home; got off a hour early yesterday.
Bobbio, hope the Mrs. isn’t feeling too poorly this am; Aleve always worked for me. Can’t remember ever colliding with a wall, but have occasionally had a few moments of whoopy-daisy getting up in the early am.
Baker, another orbit around the sun completed. My congratulations.
Going to be in the 50’s and dipping below freezing at night. Oh joy.
I went back to bed and slept till almost 9!! I was dreaming that Kevin Spacey was playing guitar in the band at my wedding… which is especially weird since **FCD **and I eloped! But in the dream, I was walking around in a white dress. And I was tall and thin - definitely a dream.
Just finishing my WaWa breakfast - when I got home, I noticed a couple of forsythia blooming!! They’re not going to be happy when the cold hits overnight over the next few days. Meanwhile, I’m going to take advantage of the last bit of mildness by cleaning the smoker (finally) and vacuuming out the car - it got kinda crumb-y on our trip.
Yanno, it’s pretty amazing what enough sleep does for a body. I actually feel human! What a concept! Altho I was confused by Nettie’s thread.
Tis my 32nd anniversary.:eek: We are off to a casino party tonight. Should be fun.
I am at irk until 1PM then I need to do some housework before the party. I have to get my black eyed peas soaking and need to go to the pubic store for some greens and whatever else we are having.
I’m looking for enough work to keep me busy for the next hour or so, then I can go home and spend the rest of the day puttering and doing useful stuff. Or knitting and catching up on my shows. We’ll see.
The smoker is clean(er) and the car is vacuumed. I need to clean the inside of the windshield - ugh, I hate doing that. I loaded the dishwasher and ran a rinse cycle. I smooshed down the contents of the recycle can so more stuff can be crammed in before I switch bags.
Speaking of which, I get to be an (on the) Beach Boy tomorrow. (Butters you can join me in the Atlantic Ocean, even though you’ll be a well over a thousand miles south…& happy 'versary, too.)
Then you’re not going to give her a big high five?
Seriously, hope she feels better!
Happy B-day, Baker.
I am steaming mad! :mad: :mad: I did not get paid today like I was supposed to. I can’t pay everything & get 2015 deductions for things like mortgage interest & add’l charitible contributions now. & no one’s getting back to me. :mad: :mad: :mad:
Irk is busy today, I wasn’t expecting that. I talked over an hour without hanging up because of the back to back calls. Good for the money, not so good for the throat.
Lots of food prep has happened this mornin’. Go Me! A pound cake just came outta the oven and looks and smells nummy! Everything else (almost) is ready for cookage which won’t be that big of a deal. Greens will be cooked a little later today and heated up tomorrow as they are better that way. The blackeyed peas have been soaked and will hang out in a slow cooker durin’ the mornin’ tomorrow. So cook rice, bake meatloaf, corn bread, and hominy casserole (a last minute addition due to a gnawin’ and a cravin’ on my part) is all there is to it tomorrow. There shall be Bloody Mary’s and/or Mimosas with some cheese ‘n crackers to munch upon before N.O.L. Should be a nice NYD gatherin’ on what promises to be a dreary day tomorrow.
Oh, and we still have rain. ICK!
BBBobbio hope VWife is doin’ better today and not too sore.
I went to the Pubic store and procured collard greens, poke chops for frying and sweet taters to go along with the black eyed peas. Can’t take any chances on not having good financial luck in the new year.
Since today is the end of the month I have been doing the inventory and starting the EOM list of things to do.
I bought a bottle of champagne and some plastic wine glasses and we are gonna have a New year toast when we close the office in a bit. I even asked the mother of my 18 yr old clerk if she could partake of a tiny bit in celebration and she said yes.
NB]Happy Baker Day!** (but I’m left wondering: who bakes the baker’s b-day cake?)
Happy butterversary!
It looks like I’ll be ducking out around 1:30 today, not that there’s much of anybody here. I’m editing a new work process today and whoever (I actually think it was collaborative) wrote it was positively clueless to grammatical continuity, verb tense or what consists of American vernacular English for an international document. Oy!
