I’m sitting in my van in the parking garage for a few minutes before going to class .
So help me, some girl in an old Eclipse just went screaming up the ramp at 40 mph. Then she turned left and did the same thing down the aisle. Who does this??
ETA: Feel better Rosie, (sorry no fancy coding.)
I’s home! Like I said it’s definitely a sammich night tonight. Too tahrd to even think about anything else. I will put a beast roast in the slow cooker and let it do it’s thang in a bit. That will be the start of whatever tomorrow night’s dindin shall be.
Yay for the gig BooFae!
Sorry for the sickies Rosie.
StickyBuns the people that do things like that are the ones who should be told to get out of the gene pool.
It has been decreed by me that we’re going out for Chinese tonight because I don’t feel like cooking. FCD took advantage of his afternoon off and cleaned my carpet cleaner. Apparently it was full of dog hair. We’ve been dogless for over a year, so you can just imagine how nasty it was. But I tested it on some stains and it seems to be working great. So yay!
That’s all I’ve got. For now. Who knows what the rest of the evening holds??
I’m in one of those silly moods where I want to do something, but I can’t think what- and it’s getting a bit late to start anything anyway. The sort of mood where I just mess around on the internet a bit, then suddenly realise it’s 3am.
I was going to be going out to the camping thing I’m not at (it’s a juggling convention, just 20 minutes from my house) just for a few hours, but the rain sort of put me off. Prob’ly going for a couple of days at the end of the week, but I’ll be commuting to the site 'cos my tent’s crap, and I’d have to be going home to feed the critterage anyway.
I’ve got the whoooole flat to myself, as the flatmate’s gone to Berlin for 9 days, so I really should be having wild parties, but I’m instead fighting the urge to go to bed really early, and read kids’ books with a hot water bottle.
I am inescapably Not Cool.
Speakin’ of bedtime, I feel like I could do that right now except I’d be wide awake at nine and not able to go back to sleep. YAWN! YAWN! YAWN!
Chinese food was good, but I’m wishing I’d just gotten 2 big bowls of wonton soup - man, that was yummy!! I do have enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow, so yay for that!
**FCD **doesn’t have to do jury duty tomorrow, so I don’t have to drive to work. Yay!
I’ll be doing an early bedtime, possibly with melatonin. I’m tired and I think I haven’t completely recovered from the weekend - being sick takes a lot out of a body. I’m thinking a good, uninterrupted sleep will work wonders. We shall see…
I didn’t have a very good weekend. 
My Dad suffered a stroke on Saturday. We spent most of the day at the hospital yesterday with him and my stepmother. Last night he had a setback, so we were asked to not visit today.
His blood is too thin due to a very low platelet count. They keep doing platelet infusions, but they’re not working as well as could be hoped. He has a bleed and clot in his brain, he suffered some paralysis on the left side last night, and now there is some swelling in the brain.
Fingers crossed, pleased. I am trying remain positive, but am worried sick.

Yesterday I called in to say I would not be in today. Today at 9am I saddled up in the big pickup for the 1.5 hour haul to Spotsylvania where I put into the court the painfully required document from my soon to be ex that says she washes her hands of it all and that I get to proceed with the divorce on our agreed upon terms at will. My friend Scott came along for the ride, so we hit a chinese restaurant for lunch the got home around 2:30…
…upon which time I decided to take a nap and only just woke up 5 hours later.
I may have been tired.
So now it’s all up to me - I have to have a professional lawyer type do a deposition (of me and a witness) and write the divorce decree and submit them, then if the judge agrees it’s all acceptable, I will be divorced.
When it’s over I’ll tell the longer tale of attempted extortion from last week. Right now I want to get this all done before I tell that story.
Anyway dinner time, Monday Night Football, then back to sleep. May watch the DVR of the Ravens game again.
Happy Monday to folk in general and sorry to hear about your Dad, Taters.

{{{{Taters}}}}, Get well soon Rosie, tummy bug struck hubby Mooooooooommm and it was bad. Glad you are better… Got my flu shot today. Niece brought nanner puddin’ for late bd present. all others Rosies sig.
{{Taters}}, fingers crossed.
Prayers sent for your Dad, Taters; sending healing vibes as well. Hope you’re feeling better soon, Rosie. And glad that you’re feeling better, FCM.
I go get my flu shot next Tuesday - woo hoo! LOL I shouldn’t be happy about getting a shot, right?! As long as I don’t get the flu.
I’m probably going to make a pound cake, a belated birthday cake, now that I’ve got a shiny new tube cake pan. It will also be good for making angel food cake. And belated birthday wishes to those that I miss, one of them was yours, I think, Buttercup, mea culpa!
Hope everyone is holding on okay.
I’m supposed to go to sleep but I’m still wired right now. I’ve been watching football drama tonight and starting my very first RO Pit thread. I need to get my son’s birthday present in the mail tomorrow. Y’all please remind me, mkay?
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis a chilly 53 out with a predicted high of 87 and more dry, dry, dry. Wish it would rain but alas the weather PTB say no for several days.
{{{Taters}}} prayers and good thoughts headed out to dad, you and all the family.
Butters nanner puddin’ is always a good thing.
gigity sounds like things are on their way for the divorce. Good. Hope all goes smoothly. Also…
DON’T FORGET TO MAIL YOUR SON’S BIRTHDAY PRESENT TODAY!!!
I’m a big believer in subtlety.
Now I need more caffiene and brekkie for rumbly tummy. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. Another fun day of irksomeness awaits.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
What Swampy said!!!
Blurf.

**tugig **- hope the rest of the divorce business goes smoothly. Things go a lot faster in VA than in MD. Even tho it was uncontested and no children or property was involved, my daughter had to wait a full year to get the legal break from her ex. I think he was married about 20 minutes after the final decree was decreed. Yeah, sorry to lose that one… :rolleyes: Anyway, good luck!
I actually feel normal this morning. The last vestiges of whatever kicked my butt over the weekend are gone. Now, if only I could get my sleep cycle back to normal. I tossed and turned till after 11 last night, then woke around 4. ugh.
But it’s another grand and glorious day in paradise, so there’s that!
Happy Tuesday, all!!
Up, caffeinated, off to irk.
