Good morning! The storms have passed, but lots of parts in this area had some severe flooding. Enough that a couple of schools are closed! First time I ever head of that hereaboutsā€¦ Thatā€™s pretty much all. Happy Wednesday! ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffeinatinā€™. _YAWN_ ā€˜Tis 76 Amurrkin out and cloudy (OK, dark) with a predicted high of 90 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. TWPTB say no rain in the forecast so I should probably go out and build an Ark. Today is grocery day. Ima go to the Pubic Stoā€™ and the Harveyā€™s Stoā€™ this morninā€™. The Harveyā€™s Stoā€™ first cause What Iā€™ll get there are non-perishables. I foresee shrimpies ā€˜n grits for sup. Vegetative matter TBD. Hopefully the Pubic Stoā€™ will have some nice fresh asparagus cause I kinda want me some spareguts. All you would be comedians deserve a [rimshot.](https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rimshot+sound&&view=detail&mid=4CAFCD9C86D5344CA6F04CAFCD9C86D5344CA6F0&rvsmid=2DB1B03685A99AFA553D2DB1B03685A99AFA553D&FORM=VDQVAP) šŸ˜ƒ Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance.

Happy Hump Day! Itā€™s a cool but humid outside. Supposed to get up to 81 today. All yā€™all cracking me up, which is a good think since I am tired and cranky this morning. Not enough sleep. One load done washing this morning and ready to go into the dryer. Cast iron griddle is seasoning in the oven. Cat has been let in, fed, and let back out. Dog has been let out a few times and has gone back to bed. Son is still sleeping and bills have been paid. My son finished the drug and alcohol classes yesterday. Now we are waiting for his books to get here. I donā€™t know why it costs so much money to ship them, I thought the PO had a flat rate of $5 for books. ---

Of course, they may be pocketing the difference. They are using UPS, $21.95 for three books. I think we have to sign for them too. Still cheaper and easier than driving out to Frostburg to pick them up. When I went to AACC books were shipped for a flat $5. The college still has not transferred his funds to his credit account with them. It was supposed to be done today. I get that school starts Monday and they are busy, but I am not impressed with or have a lot of confidence in them. Then again, I am anal about such things. Not good communication either. The bookstore said to enter all 8 digits of his account number, but the account number is his student id number, which has only 7 digits. Could be a typo, could be a screw up, could be nobody knows wtf they are doing. We canā€™t get into his student account because the web page says we hav the wrong password, but the forgot password button doesnā€™t work. ---

Morning all. The tile folks havenā€™t been back yet, but the tree removers are back to deal with the tree stump in my neighborā€™s yard and seem to have brought a small regiment with them. Weather is cloudy and somewhat cooler (84F for the high), coaching the 6-year old girls tonight for the first time, hope it goes well. Got my 12U boys roster and e-mailed them for Firday practice and still need to get the girlā€™s 12U roster so I can hope to practice Thursday. And then all three teams will play on Saturday. Oh joy. **Sari,** good luck with the books; and colleges are more like businesses these days, and you know how well companies are organized and runā€¦ **swampy,** I also need to do adult stuff, but I have a shirt and shorts on, so I am as dressed as I need to be (well, do need to add socks). **doggio, ruble, spidey** I think you visit a Comedy Clubā€“but only as spectators, please. ---

Iā€™ve been trying to eat less fast food lately, so Iā€™ve been eating lean cuisines and packing my own lunch. But today, thereā€™s a trade show going on in our cafeteria, so the options for eating lunch are at your desk (which I hate doing), hunting down an empty conference room, or going out to lunch. The weather is gorgeous, so Iā€™m going out. Now I just need to decide where to go: Arbyā€™s, Burger King, McDonaldā€™s, Taco Bell or Jimmy Johnā€™s. I didnā€™t eat breakfast today, so Iā€™m at the point where Iā€™m like ā€œjust give me food; I donā€™t care from where!ā€ ---

Much of this afternoon has been a waste. I had to do a simple change on a drawing, but itā€™s taking for-freekinā€™-ever to get it done. Long waits to go from page to page, long waits to create .PDF and .DWG files, and now Iā€™m waiting for it to print. I swear, I spent 3 times the amount of time waiting as I did making the change.
