Happy Birthday **Sunny**.

I decided to dive in and got some of the million knocked off the to-do list.

I don’t sleep well because of HOT FLASHES :eek:. Will be most happy when all that horseshit is over and done with. TMI FELLAS? Deal 😛

I am still at irk. I had been putting off my annual Ethics training and decided to check it out today. It was the quickest one ever and I didn’t have any computer issues and It printed. We have a whole bunch of computer issues and printing issues. It is frustrating to have to wait an hour for a print job which never prints. One half of my time at irk is spent re-doing stuff due to crappy IT. **Moooommmm** I think you can relate. One of the reasons we have such poor service is we are remote and isolated and operate off some radio bounce gizmo.

Also to change my mood a bit I played some new Pandora stations, African, Arabic, Turkish just to mix it up a bit from my usual country.

Cake is good! I got two. Grasshopper pie on Sunday. Chocolate with custard yesterday. 😃

Leftovers tonight, but not turkey. Roast beast, N.O.T., and green beans.

Back to irk.

Hppy birthday, Sunny!\*\*\*\*

**butters** , I hear you on the hot flashes. Some nights, those covers just have to go!

I planned to address Xmas cards this evening. I will still start, but my desktop took a crap and the laptop is at irk, where it lives most of the time. So guess who gets to see if her handwriting can still be read ny the USPO? :o

I wish I could lapse into unconsciousness, but I don’t imagine I’ll sleep tonight. I royally fucked up something in the band that I’m in, and I caused a gigantic argument between many of the members, and I think that either a guy in the band hates me, or I caused a bunch of band members to hate him. Maybe both.

Band rehearsal is tomorrow and I can’t say I’m looking forward to it, since I’ll have to go talk to the aforementioned guy, and I’m worried he won’t want to talk, and I’m just so worried about everything.

And I’m too depressed to even get anything useful done while insomnia strikes tonight. Double whammy.

Also, I can’t get the internet in the heated room, so I have to go to the non-heated room to use the internet-connected computer. If I want to ride out my insomnia through mindless surfing, I have to wear a coat while doing it.

I don’t think there’s any way that my life doesn’t suck right now.

\*\*Emily \*\*if there is anything good to say it’s that you will have answers as early as tomorrow. Apologize if you need to (so few people these days know the value of a good apology given or received) and hopefully things will work out.

Character is not the act of making or avoiding mistakes, it’s how we handle ourselves afterward. You have good character, you will be fine.

And as I was typing this, Mouse #9 just met it’s end…

Oh and about 20 minutes ago I passed the largest kidney stone I have ever had, abut 4-5mm in diameter. Scraped he whole way through…

Time to go flush the mouse and reset the trap again.

Laundry is done, bathroom is clean, and I took a nap. I’m watching hockey.

Washing machines spin. You use one of [these](http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/02/6d/08/4e/columbus-washboard.jpg) or something?:dubious:

Mice, stones, what’s the difference?

I adore the kitties and would enjoy having one again but the cottage is so small and my schedule so bad that I don’t think it would be fair to the creature.

Besides I am expecting my children to move back in with me in the next few years, and my daughter just got a Maine Coon, so it looks like I’ll have a handfull of cat to play with soon enough.

Edit to add: Of course I will have to move also to have room for the kids. Hopefully the new place will have fewer mice.

{{{Midget}}} Sorry you’re having a rough night. I hope tomorrow is brings better times.

{{{giggity}}} Kidney stones suck. Badly. And I too vote for a cat. The nice thing about a cat is that it doesn’t need as much attention as a dog. With the number of mice you have, how could it be lonely?😉

About the kidney stone, my profound sympathies. I’ve never had the displeasure, but do have a rather too vivid imagination.

Some cats are just too spoiled to hunt. He needs a terrier or maybe a Dachshund (although a Dachshund might consider mice too trivial, since they were bred to hunt badgers).

So he buys a badger to eat the mice, then he buys a Dachshund to hunt the badger.
