TOTALLY GEEKED!

Sticky wicket Sunday

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

I'm up! Have one tax filing today, dog grooming and while that is happening I will go see about the flooring.

Divine Geek · Guru

I need to go into work for a couple hours. Tomorrow is month end, I've got stuff i need to prepare for that. Not sure what else to do today, supposed to be nice, in the 60s

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Forgot to take one of my steroids last night (due to the doggy drama) and I slept so much better! I won't be taking the second dose again - just the daytime dose to keep breathing.

Still no poop. He isn't uncomfortable and seems to be all better. I don't think he had much left in his system to poop out so we are just going to keep watching! Poop Watch 2016. Exciting stuff.

I have meetings all week in the cities so I need to prep for that as well as whatever work I need to get done. Being out of the store all week after being sick is going to be a nightmare. I am trying not to micromanage but some little things are slipping so I sort of have to.

Interesting about the steroids. I often wondered what it felt like, being on them, because my kids are put on them when they have troubles. I know it makes them bounce off the walls for the first day.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

It does to me too. It makes your "insides awake" no matter how sleepy you are. That's the best way I can explain it. I would be exhausted but my body was racing and I couldn't sleep. Also,they give me the munchies. ☹️

Morning.

Slept like a rock last night. But that isn't a good thing. No one picked up the pain medicine for me yesterday before the pharmacy closed. So I was hurting and hung over and exhausted. Maybe someone will get it today.

I don't take steroids. They make my heart race. Caitlyn cries uncontrollably with them. Jesse took them a lot when he was little, I finally said no more when he was about 8. He would be fine one second and explode the next second. Aaron turns red as a really bad sunburn and itches.

Plans for today, nothing. The sun is out and it's warming up rather nicely so maybe I'll do nothing outside for a bit.

I hate feeling bad.

Oh. I do need to do some party planning.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Tax filing done and house cleaned! I have to post pics on FB of the bedroom furniture I will be selling. I hope someone wants to get it this week.

I hate steriods, but sometines they are better than the alternatives.

Pretty much how I feel.

Oh...it's snowing. Super.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

It's 61 with a "real feel" of 67.

Guess I've never had a pulled muscle, didn't know it could burn like this.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Church and grocery shopping done. I should clean some.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

When I was in my 30's I got pneumonia. I was admitted to the hospital for a week. They put me on heavy duty steroids. When I went home I was taking them too. The first 48 hours I didn't sleep. I cleaned house. I spent all of one night, sun down to sun up, ironing. The next night at two am I made a cake and ate it. I think the third day I went to Applebee's and ordered two full orders of ribs and all the sides. I ate both meals. The construction workers sitting next to me stared and seemed a bit discombobulated. In nursing school they taught us about the moon face. That if someone presented with a really round kind of swollen looking face it was probably due to long term steroid use.

You know that bedroom furniture I got a great deal on yesterday? Well I've spend the savings 3 fold on new Hickory flooring. It will look beautiful and help sell the house when I declare bankruptcy...

J/K not what I planned on spending this year, that's ok, I planned on it in two years.

Haven't heard of that. What is it about. I could google, but why when I can Flan? biggrin

The dog took a 💩 finally and it all came out ok! A little bit of fuzz, like anticipated, no pain. We can all relax around here and stop being obsessed with his potty habits. Thank goodness.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I've been watching The Help.

It's ok. Not worth the hype.

I enjoyed. Not one to run to the theatres to see, but a good at home movie.

The book was better... Hope everyone who is sick is feeling better today.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I think the book would be better.

I mean, the movie wasn't bad.

It told a good story.

It was very slow moving.

Oh well, now I can say I've seen it and mark it off my list.

evileye Yes, it is annoying! Both waiting on a kidney stone and waiting on dog poop. Yeah for dog poop!

Thanks. It's a first world problem to be sure, but it was MY first world problem. Lol

Glad I don't have to find out how much doggy exploratory abdominal surgery costs.

Is it weird that just one side of my body is cold and kind of numb and tingly?

I swear, I feel like crap.

FNW · Guru

Yes, it is weird. Get it checked out!

I spent the afternoon rearranging the furniture in my library. I have a corner hutch in there so I had to empty it first. While I was at it, I polished some of the silver. I think I like it much better. I'm tired now.

Lindley · Guru

I'm glad your dog got it all out mm.

FNW · Guru

Whew. Now even I feel 10 lbs lighter.

weltschmerz · Guru

I went to check out our new Maison de Culture for our arrondissement (district?)
Very nice. A big library, an exhibition hall and a concert hall.
There was a very impressive exhibit of a forest made entirely out of black construction paper.
The free shows are something I'd be interested in attending. There's a puppet show for adults by the Cirque Orphelin, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, jazz, Aboriginal music, and santoor and tabla from India.

I tricked my son into yogurt by serving it in an ice cream cone today.

Me in car when phone rings: Hello?
Caller: Hi this is Petsmart, your dog is ready
Me: ok thanks, on my way
Caller: just one thing, we can't classify him as a chihuahua, he is too big
Me: are you calling my dog fat?
Caller: no (laughing in the background) no, he just weighs too much to be a Chihuahua
Me:

so what his breed now?
Caller: Dauchand

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Monster is too big to be a pom. He's more a really furry pot belly pig.

I have come to the conclusion that I have a stomach bug on top of the pulled muscle. That's why I feel so bad.

Bonny, whatever works!

I love the symphony.

Thank you, DG!!!

You are welcome Lily! All my packages have arrived and only one of them got me in trouble *cough* IKWTDS *cough*

First time corgi went to the vet here, the receptionist asked of he was really a full blood corgi because he was so big. I said yes, I have his papers. She goes, oh, he's just fat.

Ohfour · Hooker

Im going back to work tomorrow. Its probably too soon, but im going anyway. I'll nap in my couch if I need to...

IKWTDS is a trouble maker, if was going to be anyone, it'd be her.

My dad loves them. He's claiming two for the truck.

Yep. My guess is their new SW system says a Chihuahua has to be less than 24 lbs, so they had to reclass him. I have a fat dog, shame me! And OH BTW he is only 2 lbs overweight.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Sticky wicket?....how about leaking plumbing, under the kitchen sink.

I think we have more than one problem.

The left side of the sink....and the dishwasher. cry

This is probably more than we can fix on our own.

I'll call the plumber in the morning.

Yeehaw.

Not. wink

Silver Polish?
Here's your answer!
Mix equal parts of ordinary table salt and water softener/conditioner (Calgon) and dissolve in hot tap water. Put in a glass, ceramic, or plastic container, and line the bottom with a sheet of aluminum foil. Immerse the silver in this container, and wait about 10-15 minutes. Rinse in warm tap water, and dry with a soft cloth. Voila! No muss, no fuss sparkling silver!

FNW · Guru

Thanks, Momala! I'll check that out! All I had was that nasty tarnex and I wore latex gloves. Oh, the smell, too.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

The recipe smells a little bit, too, but not near as bad as Tarnex! Plus, its a LOT cheaper!
