Up, caffeinated, off to irk. Tonight is the last home hockey game of the season.☹ ---

I’ve been a bad mumper. I’m all caught up reading now. Tuesday I stayed home sick and slept a lot. Yesterday I came back to work, but I still felt lousy, and I still do today. Something _very very bad_ is going on in my tummy. Ick. Anyway, I’m here at work, even if I’m not too productive. Good news yesterday! Mr Rebo got a call back from the job he wants to see if he was still interested! Of course he said yes, and they are now doing a background check, so we expect a call to tell him to go get his drug screening. Hooray!!! And more good news - my new fridge will be delivered on Saturday. It is the most awesomest (is too a word!) fridge I’ve ever seen! [Obligatory pic.](http://products.geappliances.com/ApplProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=SpecPage&Sku=PFSS9SKYSS) We got it much cheaper than the MSRP listed! Ok - back to trying to work. Rosie’s sig to all! ---

I fell and scraped my knee like a ten year old on my way to work. ☹ I also twisted my ankle and it still hurts. Damn. Starving. Absolutely ravenous. Must have dinner. ---

**Dolores** –that’s the fridge I WANT! Grr… :mad: (make that green with envy) I am up and in my wrist splint. left thumb really hurting today. Bah. I don’t own a mini-skirt–which is a good thing, since I am 47. Hope the knee is better, soon. ---

I’ve been a bad Mumper, too. Mr. Lissar has a terrible cold and has felt like death for the past couple of days, so it’s been kind of crazy here. Hugs, boos, and yays as appropriate. ---

Oh, lord. Gnat and Mr. Lissar are at the doctor’s for Gnat’s checkup right now, and the doctor thinks he might be getting chicken pox. Our doctor says that “when it rains” doesn’t apply at our house- it’s _always_ raining here. :rolleyes: Oh, well. We’ve all had chicken pox here except the kids, and Thomas will be getting my antibodies. Still, yeesh. ---

It rained! YAY! We just had a gully-washer that lasted all of maybe two minutes, but that was enough that our vehicles are back to their proper colors, and there were rivers of green running down the street. Of course, the rain will probably sprout more pollen. ---

My mom has a fridge like that and it is way neato-torpedo! When ours dies, that’s the style I’ll be looking at. We got our running around and all the pre-hospital stuff taken care of today. Then we installed 2 fans in the aquarium hood to help dissipate the heat from the lights. It’s all put back together, and the fans are very quiet, for all the air they’re moving. The idea is to keep the fish from becoming part of fish soup - the tank got up to almost 84°F - it’s supposed to be 79-80°F. Anyway, with the a/c on and the fan moving air over the lights, maybe we can maintain the tank at the correct temp. We’re supposed to get rain tonight, so my car is going to sit on the driveway. It’s pollen-covered and I just don’t feel like washing it. So here’s hoping Mother Nature helps me out. The only chores that remain today are picking up **FCD** ’s car from its oil change, cooking some rotissed chickie and assorted sides, gathering my yarn bits into a tote with a crochet hook and my little scissors, and, um, I think that’s it for me. Got to get to be early tonight - we’ve got to get to the hospital while it’s still dark out. Not that I expect to be able to sleep anyway. Daughter’s friend leaves on Sat. Which is great. She’s, um, odd… No accounting for tastes, I guess.
