Blurf. Moving is exhausting. I spent some time yesterday packing the cookware and dishes. The dirty dishes went right into the dishwasher (that’s what it’s for!), the other stuff went into the cabinets, and I’m using the opportunity to match lids with containers, lids with cups, blades with devices, and so forth. My goal for tomorrow is to have the kitchen completely packed up and moved over, then we can go to work on the bookshelves and bedding. My serious goal is to be moved in and actually sleeping at the new house by Sunday. Monday morning, I want to wake up and drink coffee in my new house. The sprog was almost sent to Abu Dhabi yesterday. I got several texts from the phone company informing me that we were way over our monthly data allotment, and that the sprog was responsible for said overage. He can no longer access data on his phone for the foreseeable future. I can see as far as high school graduation, if not college. 😃 Dinner was pulled poke with mac n’ cheese and broccoli for the guys and turkey with Parmesan cauliflower and roasted vegetables for me. Target, being the brazen little shit that she is, swiped a whole slice of turkey off my plate. Airman wrested it away from her. I’m tired. I think I’m going to throw in a load of laundry and go to bed. ---

I feel your pain, **rockin’**. Instead of packing tonight though, I went washer/dryer shopping. It looks like the wedding album that I sold last month will cover all but about $60 of it. It will be the first time in 20 years that I will have one in my home. 🙂 ---

I can’t believe how blurfily hot it still is, and the humidity is worse. I’m just glad I’m not in **MsRobyn** ’s shoes and having to move. Just thinking about it now makes me sweat. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > \ > \*\*Rio \*\*- is the idiot still employed?? Boss and GrandBoss keep trying to get something done, but their bosses refuse to do anything more then a slap on the wrist. It’s an extremely frustrating situation, especially since I’m being leaned on more and more to pick up after the idiot and keep everything from going completely FUBAR. [/rant] On the other hand, this is giving me plenty of opportunities to look reliable and competent in front of the bosses. ETA:First on four! 😃 ---

Blurf. I has a tired today, went to bed a bit later than usual and still couldn’t get to sleep until after midnight. Consequently, I am all snoozy this morning and not really in the mood for irk. Fortunately it’s Friday and a short workday for me because I have to leave early to get to the gym for my spin class tonight. Only one meeting today, but I do have notes to write up from two meetings yesterday. I suppose I’d better get on with that then… ---

Temperatures have dropped “precipitously”, with an expected high of 29ºC rather than yesterday’s 3don’taskºC. I was waiting for the bank to open, along with another woman, and we remarked how the temperature would be considered just perfect if it didn’t happen to come right after “I’m roasting here”. 3don’task: uncomfortably close to 36ºC, with a possibility of actually being higher. Better not ask and just hide from the sun, preferably in a breezy spot. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 73 Amurrkin out and foggy with a predicted high of 94, sunny and a chance of rain. The big plan today is for mowage but it will have to wait a while. The fog needs to lift and the grass dry out a bit especially after yestiddy’s late afternoon/early evenin’ rain. I took some burgers outta da freezer to thaw. I had thought majik intartoobz pizza for dindin but decided on burgers and homemade fries instead. **rockin’** good luck with the move to the new digs. Better you than me. 😃 Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, onward into the day. Happy Firday Y’all! ---

Long day ahead. After work, I get to run home, pack, grab a quick bite, then drive 2+ hours to Mom’s. My route choices are to either take 301 to I97, dealing with the stretch where 301 and 50 run together headed towards Ocean City, or to take the DC beltway from MD 5 to the BW Parkway. Neither choice is particularly appealing. I’ll figure it out when the time comes. When I stopped at WalMart on the way home yesterday, I thought I’d see if they had any bathing suits that I might want to take for my cruise. Silly me, trying to buy a bathing suit in July - they had sweaters out for sale… :eek: Maybe I’ll just order one on line. I have a suit, but I’d like another. We shall see. I anticipate a busy day at work - hope it’ll make the day zip along. Happy Firday!!! ---

Up and getting ready for work by drinking much water. Yesterday I was inside trailers making them empty. In this weather that means I now know how a rack of ribs feels being slow cooked. Just in case I get there again I figure I want to be ready and super-hydrated. ---
