Thursday. Slightly better than Wednesday with a tart, tannic aftertaste...
« on: January 08, 2009, 07:16:40 AM »
Buncha snow headed this way in our neck of the woods tonight. Not horrific, 3-6 inches, but depending on the timing it could screw up school tomorrow.  :censored:

I am looking at a day of cleaning stuff. I have to venture forth to get the special cat food from the vet and pick up water softener salt at some point. By Gum I lead an exciting life!  :-)

I may actually go hit the range again today or Friday and see if I can't get some muscle memory back so I don't suck as bad at league next week.

I am also trying to figure out what I want to stuff in the crock pot for dinner. A forray into the big freezer beckons.

Ah.  Thought it was some sort of kitchen appliance accessory to let everyone know you had such an appliance.  Down south we just put 'em on the front porch.   :-)

Snowed for a bit this morning, and now the sun is out.  Nothing exciting on the agenda today.

The sun is out, but it's only 15 this morning. Forecast calls for a chance of precipitation over the next 4 days, most likely snow.  :censored:

Desk cleaned out. Task Force truck cleaned out. Most cases closed....only leaving a Theft/frame swap and a frameswap/Insurance Fraud for my replacement. As of about 11:00 am tomorrow, the new guy will have the truck, the laptop, the radio, and the county cell phone (electronic leash). I do have a bunch of old stuff to get to the shredder though, but, after that, I'm just a straight-up beat cop again. Lower stress, regular hours.....Woo-Hoo!

Little more snow overnight, but more freezing rain on top of it, so no use trying to shovel/snowblow the driveway before heading to work. 

Switching schedules because they decided to put me in training.  So I go home around midnight, get up at 6 (late for normal shift), stop by the lab for bloodwork, and get to training by 9, then stay until 5:30 tomorrow night, where I will officially be a friggin zombie.  At least I won't be there until midnight.

Looks like the snow which was forecast for this weekend won't be coming through now.

The weather out here in the vast Sandhills of Nebraska is incoherent.

About 16 degrees, no wind, grey, thickly overcast, but no prediction of snow.

I'll bet it snows.

We're expecting flurries tonight and tomorrow just west of you, Frank.  I wouldn't bet against you getting some too.

We had a pretty good snow squall this morning, as I was going to work.  Damn near whiteout conditions, from what I heard.  I do know that visibility was down to 1/4 mile or so.  But, as I was bringing The Heiress out to the car so I could get her to daycare, she stuck out her tongue and tried to catch snowflakes.  I sure hadn't taught her that, and when I asked my wife later, found that she hadn't done that.  The kid's smart.  I'm done for. :beer: :beer: :beer:

I have a bunch of little things to today.  Go to the bank, pay some bills, that kind of junk. 

I had the weirdest dream before I woke up.  I was walking past a single-level ranch house that had a sign on the outside that read "Free Show 10:00".  It was a little after 10, and the curtains on the front window were open.  It was a group of young women putting on a burlesque show dressed as Disney characters.

I need to stop eating before bed.

Sounds pretty Goofy to me.

It is a beautiful day out here in the DFW area.  Although that isn't so good for me because the bright sun really bothers my eye because of the dilation.

I have to go to the grocery store later but first I have an appointment at 1:00.  I should be cleaning my house but I don't feel like it.  I am doing laundry at the moment.

Yes, it's beautiful today. It's sunny and 62 right now, and I'm actually in a pretty good mood right now.

I have quite a bit of work to do today so I'm gonna be busy later.  Right now I'm watching the switchboard while the receptionist is at lunch, which means an hour to hour and a half of paid goofing off.

It was Minnie and Mickey.  I hear they're swingers.  I think Goofy was giving lap dances to the audience.

I decided to re-red the hair today...and the color when mixed did not quite look right...ok ...it looked totally wrong, but it was a "new" formula.

So I went ahead and put it on my head.  :thatsright:

I never should have done that.......I look ready for a punk rock concert.  :censored: :censored: :censored:
