So we started out with 2 broken SSLAWs, went to a non runnging 3g belt, and then hopped over to non running Yellow belt. Yet we still finished, in spite of TVCTPMO.
They make something other than ale? 
You’d think the PSWSLS would keep the brats in line. 
As long as you brought a note. And I hope your friend gets better.
Well, that’s for tomorrow. And welcome Al!
Typical cat!
Yay, another new Mumper joins the fold!
I’m having trouble with the font: is your username “ai” or “AL”? (All caps or all lowercase was the only way I could tell the diff.)
You got a lot on your plate. Glad you’re at least starting to feel better! (I haz a jealous, as I am still a sicky.)
This made me so happy! Very happy for you & doggo that the vet could work some medical magic.
You have a way with words. Fuck insurance companies - I say, give 'em hell!
{ snerk } Well played.
For the night is dark, and full of terrors … and the day is frustrating and filled with hassles.
(Sorry, I’m a total “Game of Thrones” nerd.)
That’s like wearing someone else’s underwear! 
If you think she’s in rehab … I dunno, do they enforce cutting off contact between their patients and the patients’ friends?
I hope someday she reaches out to you again, or that you’re able to contact her down the road.
Reminds me, I have laundry in my dryer, too.
… and need to start another load of undies and work shirts.
Also need to drag the big bin back from thr curb. That will be enough adulting for one day - I still feel like crap on a stick.
Morning, all. Going to be a chilly week here in SoCal, with the temps. bouncing between mid-50s during the day and mid 30s at night. The cats have totally given up on hunting sunbeams and are alternately curling up in their new beds or yowling at me for perceived slights. Got a bit of rain in the early morning hours. Just enough to make everything wet, but not enough to wash the collected leaves in front of my driveway.
Last week of regular classes before Finals, so I’m gearing up for all the sob stories I’m going to get about missing assignments. Boo-hoo. There’s the box of tissue. You had plenty of warning.
Glad to hear all the good news on the critter front. Makes my day shiny. Fly low, stay warm and remember, if you’re getting flak, it means you are over a target.
She’s an online-only friend, so I would assume she’s just restricted from internet access as a whole.
Haha, I’m sure they’re all the same…
“How German”, I think you meant to say.
I left work yesterday morning at 7:00, and drove to Tik Tok for breakfast. When I walked out at about 8:30, it was beginning to snow. I hadn’t been snowed on since 1982 (and this was the first time I’d ever driven in it). It continued for about eight hours.
Fortunately, temperatures stayed above 32F, so the streets never got icy that evening. But this morning, it was 30F as I drove to my physical exam. No precipitation, though, so I don’t need to get snow chains yet.
YET.
Not familiar with that name…I can only think of the social media TikTok, haha. Is it a local mom-and-pop joint or something?
Is there a holiday I forgot about? My trash didn’t get picked up - I peeked in the next door neighbor’s bin, and theirs wasn’t picked up either, so it’s not like they just skipped me for some reason.
I heard (and briefly saw on the next street over) the trash truck rattling around, so it was in the neighborhood.
Never did convince myself to have breakfast, so now I’m working on shooting for brunch? lunch?
You drove to a popular social media video website for breakfast?
It’s a 24-hour diner/bar in Portland. Pricier than Denny’s, but the menu is better.
Howdy Y’all! Been slothin’ away here. We also achieved nappage. Go Us! Who knows what’s next! Did get the chikin ready for the chikin ‘n dumplin’s, so there’s that. In a while it will get made. I am goin’ to make some dumplin’s and use some refrigerated ones we got at the sto’. Sometimes I use tortillas cut into strips but not today. We do need to day drink. Haven’t done that yet.
GodBod sorry about your friend. True she may not have access to the internet if she’s in rehab. Hope she reaches out soon. Glad you enjoyed your sis’s concert.
Yanker forgot to say earlier, but, yay for doggo feelin’ better!
BooFae glad you get to use up your leave time.
Nettie Buddy is a cat and therefore must do cat things.
shoe hope you’re feelin’ better.
Quietly but, but, but, I’m SPECIAL and deserve extra time to get that assignment done!
Got all of Daughter’s laundry done. Go me! She’s got a pardnt meeting this afternoon, then she’ll come home. Hope it’s a short meeting…
Still digging through the emails… But! I’m actually into the data now, I’ve loaded and run the dishwasher, I went on my walk and had a shower and shave, and I am doing a load of laundry.
Slowly working through Mt. Laundry. Got the stuff that was in the dryer all put away (go me) and dried/brought up my undies and work shirts. In a fit of ambition, I even started one more load of bedding, which I can hear is currently on spin cycle.
I also scooped the litter box. As a reward for so much “gettin’ shit done while feeling like shit” I took myself out for a hot dog, and got a cup of hot potato soup to go with it. No cooking, no dishes, plus I have green onions to doctor up the soup. Got me outta the house for a change of scenery for a few minutes.
I blew my nose a lot earlier and now one of my ears feels all plugged up. I can kinda hear, so I don’t think I damaged it, but it’s sore and stuffy and I haz an unhappy.
Wheee. Thus endeth the report of my exciting life.
I also need to work through Mt. Laundry, though my kids are apparently in line for the wash before me.
It’s that time again - time to put the tree up and decorate it. Only in our family, our tradition also includes my mom “shopping” my tree. She keeps giving me ornaments she insists she doesn’t want but that are “too good to give away.” I agree, so I put them on my tree. She comes through the house, remembers why she likes them, takes them off my tree and I replace them with ornaments from Lowes and Tar-Jay. It’s mildly aggravating, though not really - I’m happy that she’s feeling well enough to do it.
This weekend involved running/waddling a 5K and taking the boy to his SAT. Oh, and the husband’s surgery went off well. Poor guy is still having trouble sitting down. He talked to the nurse this morning to tell her how he’s doing and she yelled at him for not following the directions she gave him. At least it didn’t have to be me this time!
Funny how when I repeat what the nurse said it’s harping, but when she tells him it’s medical advice.
Off to consider drinking an afternoon espresso. I shouldn’t. But I want to. But I shouldn’t. But I want to.
It was mostly sunny and quite nice when I went to the mailbox about an hour ago. It’s now quite windy, with thick gray clouds rolling in. As of last time I looked at the weather forecast, we now do not have ANY day in the next 10 with less than a 11% chance of rain.
Must get busy on some defilthing.
Howdy all. 7-8 hours on and it’s still raining outside, did my shopping and got my Jersey Mike’s #3 but see no other reason to depart the house today. More rain tonight but ‘only’ a 50% chance tomorrow… At least I did get all my e-mails out this afternoon, so that much is done. Now when I get the responses…
No Mt. Laundry here yet, be a couple weeks before it reaches levels I cannot ignore.
Onward into the evening. Take care all.
Nothing quite like digging dog kibbles out of a toddler mouth…
Still with the kids- no idea where Daughter is. Not happy - I am exhausted ! Wanna go home!
Posting in the MMP on an actual Monday! Woot!!
Yesterday’s brunch was great: good food, and my two friends and I wound up sitting there and talking for 4 hours (!). We’re all singers, and met via a jazz workshop 10+ years ago. We usually only see each other when we’re out hearing music, so it was wonderful to be able to just talk and really catch up with each other. And I ate whatever I wanted! The restaurant’s table bread is cornbread, and it’s phenomenal so I had a piece; for my entree I had most of a very yummy French Dip sandwich, plus a couple of fries; then the three of us split a piece of cherry pie for dessert (I may or may not have eaten nearly all of the whipped cream). I got home shortly after 5pm, and was pretty stuffed for the rest of the day so I just snacked a little last night. Not a great food day nutritionally, but worth it! 
Tomorrow I’m having dinner at Chipotle with someone from my support group before our meeting. She seems very nice. She’s only six months further post-op, we’re about the same age, and we both watched our mothers struggle with/die young from weight issues. Could maybe be a new friend, but we’ll see…I don’t tend to really like other people that much.
I hope FCDaughter shows up soon!
Time to migrate from the home office to the living room. Chicken fries + corn are on the menu for tonight’s dinner, for those who are THAT bored. 
Good on ya!
(And thanks for the earworm… 
)
I’ll admit, I LOLed!
Doooooo iiiiiiitttttt…
I can’t find my boots. The wimmen folks, in a fit of ‘organizing’ last spring, ‘put them away’. Now nobody knows where they are. I am not amused.
Other than that, it’s quite nice here with all the tourists gone.
Left over curry for dinner tonight. We made it with pork instead of chicken last night. It was different, but not better.
No other news from here.
