Monday sucks.



That is all.

grey and yucky day outside. Chilly rain.

I'm contemplating being all emo-like and brooding all day.

That might be fun.

Housechores to do today but nothing real big.

working...working...working.....but that's a good thing!! when I'm not, I start to panic.


the deer kids (all 6 of them) came to visit our newly cleaned out flower bed....the daylillies and daisies all have fresh and tender leaves coming out of the ground.  we had a stare down contest with them this morning....we were in the living room and they were in the flower bed. it was really funny....they moved on up the yard....but 2 of them looked back with longing and forlorn looks.. :lmao:

made apple cinnamon muffins this morning.....getting my fruit requirement for the day... :-)
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Suggestion for keeping deer out of the flowerbeds.  Irish Spring soap.  Cut a bar into about 6 cubes.  Drill a hole in each one and hang it by wire, string, etc. from a nearby branch.  They should last 4-6 months, and the deer don't like the smell.

Lots of checks came in Saturday's mail, so I'll be busy for a while today.  That's good news.

The night receptionist's mom had a baby on Saturday (can you imagine, there's a 20 year age gap between the oldest and youngest).  She's not going to make it into work today, so I have to work 5-9 on the switchboard.  :(  I hate working the switchboard, but after 7 there's really no calls.  I'll do my accounting homework down there tonight.  And the bonus is extra hours, but since we're forbidden from getting overtime, that means I get to leave early tomorrow.  :)

It's always such a good feeling to pay off a credit card ain't it?

Today is one of my bad days... massive headache, sneezing, nose bleed in the middle of a lab, and all the *fun* crap caused by allergies and other health issues.    :(


Lost my frickin' student id while walking to class (my means for getting lunch from the cafeteria).  :banghead:   A friend of mine gave me some money for lunch (I was having the shakes, and didn't have my debit card with me, as I forgot to put it back in my wallet.) and a ride to class. I'll pay them back later. 

I need to get to YouTube and find some funny videos to watch.  If anyone here has anything good, please post it.  I just need cheering up right now.  :(

Did the planting on the porch (veggies and herbs) then dragged everything inside because it's still too cold to leave it outside (high of 27 today, kids--woohoo!).

Took the big screen down and hauled it to Portsmouth to save $50.  Hit the grocery store on the way back.

Sloppy joes tonight.  That is all.

I started the mechanic's lien proceedings on a vehicle last week (the car's been here since last May).  She miraculously showed up Friday to pay her RO but since the vehicle is not drivable and needs to be towed out, it's still sitting here.   :banghead:

I'll read up on storage fees and shoot off another certified letter to warn her that we'll start charging her after a few days. 

Yea - getting paid
Boo - not taking the damn vehicle away!

I have "Apache Bites" all of my arms and a few on my legs. Damned Boeing mechanics SUCK!!!! They can't even properly place a cotter pin !!!! And, even after ALL of these years, the Boeing Engineers STILL neglect the maintenance person. Damn, there are places I'm working on that a toddler would have problems fitting. Thank GOD for special tools, etc !!! Other than that, my legs are achy from going up and down the helicopter to get these work packages done. (maybe I should have posted this in the whiney section).....
