Because everyone has had a little bit of it in them lately! Have a good Thursday all. It means it's almost Friday. I just have one doctor's appointment and have to make a quick run to the store and then home to cook dinner. Then I am free Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Yeah.

I am at work. And bitchy boss is off site at training all day. Yay! I'm going to really try to get something accomplished today. I have about 80 procedures that need editing, by last week 😧 I guess I should get to work on those

I have to order uniforms for my new job. They guy that orders our uniforms said he would grab a pair of pants for me to try from one of the "shorter guys" to get a size that fits length wise. Old boss and I were trying to figure out who that would be
Boss: Aaron?
Me: nope, he's taller than me
Boss: jimmy?
Me: nope, he's taller than me
Boss: Dave?
Me: nope, he's taller than me
Boss: oh! David?
Me: nope, he's taller than me
Boss: really?
Me: yep
Boss: damn, he's tiny
Me: I'm aware. Thank you

I'm about to pack the cooler with what we want to eat today and tomorrow morning - we're going FISHING!!! Yay us! We escaped the hail and tornadoes yesterday - but boy did it rain! 1.6" in one hour.
I hard cooked some of the eggs our hens are laying - the yolks are amazingly yellow - almost the color of Velveeta cheese! They'll make great deviled eggs for this evening during happy hours
Have a great day, my wonderfully Geeky friends - I'll see you sometime Friday or Saturday.
Headed to the lake tonight, and I really need it. Last night was devastating...
Remember a couple of months ago my long lost brother called me and I was so over the moon hearing from him? He was clean for the first time in forever, had a great job, and sounded so happy.
Well, I've been texting him for a week or so with no response. Last night, I got one.
me: Keith? Hello? Please talk to me.
"Keith": who this
me: um, your sister
"Keith": I bought the phone from dude
me: so this isn't Keith?
"Keith": nope
So I called him, and it definitely was not Keith. He told me he bought the phone from some cracked out guy living in a motel. I was ready to drive there and find him, but G stopped me.
I can't do this anymore. I can't worry about him to the point of self destruction. I wanted him to live with us, but he has a history of getting high and stealing things to sell for drugs. I can't have him taking my stuff.
I'm so sad. It was such a joy to be back in touch with him, and now I think I'm just going to have to let it go. Forever...

Good morning Geeks. I have an 11am apt with a marketing rep. It was my boss's apt but she has a repair person at her house & can't make it so I have to take it.
O4 I am so sorry about your brother. I can't believe he got his life together & then fell back into that life again. Take care of yourself. Enjoy the lake. I hope it soothes your soul.
Gordito threw up twice last night. I feel slightly guilty (only a tiny bit) for ditching sick kid duty with my husband for the day. Sometimes I really love my office : )
I'm so sorry O4. I know your heart is breaking. Pray for him. Give this trouble to God. I know I will be praying for him, and you.
I'll be praying for him and you, too, Oh4. How very sad.
Please take good care of yourself, and enjoy your weekend at the lake.
Hugs to you.
This.
I am so sorry to hear that he is still struggling with his addiction. It's hard to watch somone you love live that life. I don't have siblings, but I watched my baby cousin deal with it her whole life. When someone you love is addicted, the whole family suffers. I hope you can have a restful weekend.

Momala, I've made salmon deviled eggs before, with a bit of wasabi...I love eggs!
Had a great night's sleep on the new bed, doesn't hold the heat like the old memory foam mattress I had.
Oldie but goodie...a crew is working on the parking lot both in front and behind our shop. They casually asked about tee shirts. I said we could quote if they wanted. The older one said "I used to get them from a guy, he charged me only $5 each"
I tell him that's a great deal, and I don't think I can go that low. I tell him he should go back to that "guy".
"Oh, he's out of business" Filed that under "No ****, Sherlock!"

Don't you just love that?
I get it all the time. I'll give a quote & potential client says well my old carrier only charged me $$ & I say well then you should stay with them. They say well I can't because they cancelled me for accidents. I say well yes that is why my price is higher I can write you but must charge for the accidents.
o4, Sorry to hear about your brother. I understand having a brother with an addiction. My DB has been sober since January but I will not fully believe it until he has been sober for a minimum of 1 year. I've been down that path too many times.
I'm so sorry O4. I know your heart is breaking. Pray for him. Give this trouble to God. I know I will be praying for him, and you.

Today is not going so well so far. I need to go back to bed.

Layla is on FOUR meds right now. And they make her throw up if you don't feed her something before you give them. Sounds easy enough right? WRONG. We're mixing her old food and her new food together right now to wean her onto the new diet. So I carefully measure out a quarter cup of each food. Next I set it in the laundry room because of course ALL the dogs are wanting to eat. I get two of the three in the laundry room. NOT the one I wanted. I have to literally drag Layla into the laundry room so I can shut her in there for five minutes so she can eat and the other dogs don't eat her food. But she thinks she's being punished and is not happy. I finally accomplished that.
I wait about twenty minutes and get the pills out. I'm trying to put the pills in her mouth. She can have NOTHING but the dog food so I can't wrap them in cheese or hide them in peanut butter. Every time I push one down she spits one out. It's like a little black doggie PEZ dispenser. I FINALLY got all four of them down but now she is sitting here glaring at me. At first she wouldn't even let me pet her but now she will. She hasn't stopped glaring though.
She takes them so well for DH!

Me too. Not sure I can do this! However, in two weeks she'll be down to just two tiny pills. I can probably deal with that.

Uniform guy brought me the pants, and with my boots on, they were only a little long. He then asks how the waist is. Really? The guy who's pants these are has at least 100 pounds on me!
OhFour - I just picked out some new frames for my glasses and they're very much like your avatar! When I saw them I thought of you, then when I tried them on I knew I had to have them.

Yep. But we can't kill them - they are an endangered species. So we have to have them removed, the guano cleaned up, and the attic sealed so they can't get back in.
