Hell, I’m thinking I won’t be able to wear clothes at all, whether I have just the husky or am fortunate enough to get the lab too.
I’m here at irk, caffienating and trying to keep the pain in my head and the churning stomach down to a dull roar. This crap needs to stop now.
I suppose I should tackle the projects I have lined up for today.
I’m glad your Dad is doing better, ems.
Phideaux is a common name for a dog amongst the Cajuns.
Is it quit o’clock yet?
Tomorrow we get a half-day (summer hours). Tomorrow or Saturday I expect to get the bed and get off sleeping on the inflatable, which is fine for a few days but not my notion of Acceptable Permanent Décor.
I wanna go SHOPPING!
I forgot to tell you - I started my new diabetes medication today (Victoza.) Cross appendages of your choice that it works, and that it helps me lose weight, too.
Anybody know anything about it?
I had a dog named Booger. I would have named him Buttlicker but then he might have been confused with a couple of my human friends.
I found him abandoned in a Florida forest. I was doing a geochem survey and we were miles back into it when I saw what at first I thought was a black bear cub. It was a puppy, the cutest little booger you ever did see and he was about to starve to death. "Bout took my fingers off when I first fed him, he was so hungry. I kept him for about a month while I looked for a suitable home for him. I’d take him to the beach on days off, tie a hankerchief around his neck and some kite string to that and then “reel” him out to meet anyone that walked by in a bikini. That’s who has him now… a wonderfully nice girl that thankfully had a bikini.
My daughter wants a dog now so I guess we’re in the market. For some reason she’s really set on a Welsh Corgi. I’d kinda prefer an Australian Sheepdog as they strike me as both nurturing and intelligent. I’ll report back on which hemisphere ends up winning out.
Sorry. Actos, metformin, and Lantus here.
Just a quickie, you lucky people! 'im indoors rang earlier to say that he got the job! He officially starts on Monday so he’s coming home tonight and will be sorting out accommodation and suchlike before he heads back over there on Sunday.
Great news about your dad, mmmmmmmmmmms, it must be a great relief to you and the rest of the family.
Off to get ready for my night out now - will be very strange dancing around with crossed appendages for everyone else!
Rebo appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed re the new meds.
Yay for 'im indoors BooFae!
Steak and sallit for dindin tonight. YUM!
ambles in, looks around, stretches & yawns
mrphlblrf
ambles out and back to bed
SHHHHHHHHHH!!! ROSIE’S TRYIN’ TO SLEEP!!!
I just spent twenty minutes on the phone calmin’ down our church organist. She has retired from teachin’ music in the local school system and tomorrow is havin’ a retirement party thingy over to the church house. Fortunately she is not retirin’ as church organist. Anywho, she called me to give me a rundown on the beer and wine available wantin’ assurance that’s it’s enough. I assured her that she does indeed have enough and that it’s perhaps a bit more important to make sure there’s enough nonalcholic beverages on hand. So there’s beer, wine and apparently some kind of cocktail plus soft drinks (regular and diet), lemonade and water. A local caterer is handlin’ the finger food stuff so that will be good. I even promised to show up a little early to make sure the beer and the wine (that needs it) is iced down. What needs chillin’ is bein’ chilled at the church in the fridge so that’s good. I spent a good ten minutes of the call sayin’, “yes, I’m sure that’s plenty.” I do believe she’s calmed down.
Now I must grill steaks.
Hooray for 'Im Indoors!! It’s been kind of a crabby day here but I guess that’s the way it goes sometimes.
The listing upthread of critter names reminded me of a very clever boat name we saw. It was on a steel boat. ***Effie O’Two **- could it be any nerdier??
Home from day 4. One more to go. With luck, I’ll be out around lunch time, but I’m not counting in it. My brain has been kinda worthless of late.
Yay for 'im Indoors! Does that mean you’re moving, BooFae?
Dunno whether to warm up some leftovers or go out for some real food. Decision, decisions. Did I mention how worthless my brain has been? The Dinner Fairy just needs to show up with something edible and yummy. Is that too much to ask???
**FCD **wants to do a fambly vacation. He wanted to take daughter this time, but I just want it to be the 2 of us. We need to shop for an island cruise for the 3 of us - which means we need to apply for our passports right now.
Durn glad tomorrow’s Firday. I am ready for a weekend.
*For the non-nerdy who might read this, FeO[sub]2[/sub] is the chemical formula for rust…
friend of my dad’s had a terrier named “Pussycat”
My roommate had a parakeet named Rover; we weren’t allowed to have a dog where we lived. My brother and ex-SIL had cats named Maryhadda and Little Lamb. And I had a betta named Fluffy for a while. Yep, totally normal here.
Yay for 'im indoors!
Good wishes for your friend’s hubby, Sticky.
How was the weather,** Chile**? (Do we have an official nickname for you yet?)
::waves at tarra::
My daylilies are slowly starting to bloom. They’re purdy.
Home a bit early, so I’m going outside to work in the garden since it’s neither raining nor unbearably hot.
Back later.
GT
Steak, sallit and cheesey bread were num! Watermelon may get et shortly. Or not. We’s both stuffded right now.
We’re goin’ to spend Father’s Day with JoeDawgDaddy’s folks. See both of our fathers are gone and so Father’s Day is no biggie deal but we got invitated so we’ll go have lunch and hang for a while. His folks are super nice and I really like his dad, so that’ll be good.
Oh and because I have no sense, I agreed to go help out at a yahdwerk day at church Sattidy mornin’. We’re gonna start at seven-thirty am and hopefully get done in a couple of hours. Hedges need trimmin’ and some pecan limbs need to be cleared. That’s the joy of a pecan orchard. Limbs are forever droppin’. Oh and some mowin’ of the back forty and that #$%# ditch.
ETA: gt a few of us have been callin’ her hotstuff but I don’t know if it’s official yet.
Yay BooFae!
Big storms coming through here. Ugh. Plus it’s 86 and humid out. I’m with snowbunny’s coworkers who hate this weather.
I’m off tomorrow so y’all have a good weekend!
It’s rainy here but no tboomers. Yet. I was promised tboomers. I want my tboomers!
We had a hot day, but blessedly low humidity. They’re talking 60s tonight - I intend to open my windows if it’s cool enough by the time I go to bed.
Just for giggles, I did a search on cruise ships out of Baltimore. There’s a fleet of smaller cruise ships that do the Chesapeake Bay or the Intracoastal. A cruise on the bay, which we have done ourselves in our sailboat, run from $3200 to $5500 for a week. W.T.F??? For that kind of money, ALL THREE of us could do a week cruise to the Caribbean. If I was to spend that much on a week in the bay, I’d expect daily massages and pedicures and my own personal scantily clad studmuffin to wait on me constantly. And lots of lobster for dinner…
I’ll be in my bunk. I’s tahred. Yeah, that’s it. Tahred…
MWAH!
:deep sigh:
I have this friend that I have volunteered to help out occasionally when I can. She recently had surgery and her mobility is limited so she needs help with grocery shopping, laundry, and some serious drudge work. It’s not even so much that I mind all the work, it’s that I just don’t always have the time. She was self-employed for a long time herself and the other day we even had a conversation about just because someone works at home, doesn’t mean that there isn’t work going on. However, somewhere there is a disconnect because she is counting on me more than her other friends because my schedule is more ‘open.’
I guess I am particularly aggravated this week because I went over there on Monday committed to a specific task which she already knew that she wasn’t up to before I even got there. So instead of canceling, she took advantage of my time and had me do something that she has someone else available to do for her. And now she wants me to take her grocery shopping tomorrow but I just don’t have the time to do it even though I don’t have any lunches. I know that she’s reliant upon help from others right now and I don’t mind helping, but I just can’t always be there for her and I feel bad having to say no more than I say yes. She’s in a tough situation but I just don’t have it in me right now to be her ‘keeper.’ And this makes me feel like a failure and like I’m letting her down but at the same time I feel like maybe her own daughter should figure out a way to help her out more often even though she has her own obligations, too. I know I’m rambling but I just don’t want to be a crappy friend but there’s only so much I can do.
:(:dubious:
Yay for 'ImIndoors and (of course!) by extension BooFae! Keeping appropriate appendages crossed for others still searching.
GT, how’d you know I was out here lurking?! 
Thanks!
I called HR this morning–I’m starting to seriously consider the retirement option. Health-wise there is just so much going on and some stuff that doesn’t seem to be healing. I may need to do it just so that I can heal up, get back to the pool–there just doesn’t seem to be time enough to catch up let alone do what I need to do while working. I’ve been feeling like a hamster in the wheel. Fortunately, I have the time and age, so I actually can retire. We’ll see what happens.
I love you guys! Thanks so much for your support!!
