Another Monday...what does your week hold in store for you?
« on: September 21, 2009, 06:38:40 AM »
An average week for me....weather is nice again, so that's a pleasant bonus!  Scheduled to work one day this week so far...hope I can get at least another.   Just one baseball game this week.  Of course, it's on the day I work, and it's away.

Other than that, same 'ole, same 'ole.

One kid sick and staying home.  He has to be well by tomorrow though because he can't miss football practice.  I have 1/2 bushel of tomatoes left to can.  I hope to finish them today.  Organizing volunteers for basketball conditioning camps and try outs.  Gotta get hubby's car inspected.  The grass has to be mowed, weeds trimmed, and dead limbs burned.  I also have to clean the whole house.  Typical week.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Started 10's today.  Gonna be a fun outage, that's for sure.  Warming up during the afternoons this week, but will still be in the low 40's in the mornings.

Fall is here.

I get the next two nights off.  Some time to try to kick this real nasty cold I've got.  Thankfully only two more mid-shifts until December....

I'm going to be out of here for a couple of days at least; maybe a few forays here and there, but I'm sicker than I thought I was, and need to recuperate.

The past couple of days, I thought it was better, but no, ooops, it's worse.

Hold down the fort for me, thanks.

Take care of yourself, Frank...we'll be here when you get back.  After a couple days though, can you pop in to let us know you are OK...or get a message to someone, please?

Rain here for a change (yeah right).  It rained all of last week and will likely do so every day this week.  Mrs lug-nut's car is in the shop today...had to have it towed yesterday.   :bawl:

That's good.  I thought it was more of a permanent thing.  And I'll agree with the motel life...done too many times for too long.  46 days last time, with 3 kids and a zoo.

Nothing exciting going on this week, just work during the day, and a workout planned for tonight.

Its hot as heck here.  Its been hot for the past week and this week it is suppose to be in the high 90's.  I got our first electric bill and the the way they have their rate schedule is a scam.  They have a tier plan that ranges from 1-5.   The first tier is .12 cents per kwt and goes all the way up to .32 cents (or.37 cents i cant remember)  per kwt for the 5th tier.  The more you use the more it cost you per kwt. Every day something about this stupid state pisses me off.  

I have a bunch of crap in the back of my throat, it's getting hard to swallow and it's sore too. I've had it for about a week, it hasn't gotten any better or any worse. I'm ready for it to go away already.

My husband had to get up at 4:00 am this morning to catch an early morning flight. . If I had to take the same flight I would have had to get up at about 3:00 am. I feel bad for him.

I need to find a dentist today for my daughter.  She has a spacer on her teeth that has been bothering her. It's always something.

Rain, rain, rain!  We've had rain for a week and looks like another planned.  Trees and limbs falling.  The 6 inch water main is broken near us.  Area flooding.

Planning a Big Chill type trip for next month to get together with old friends.  One has had a very serious cancer recurrence and going back on chemo for the 5th time.  This may be the last get together for her.

Other than that a typical week.  Have to get more stuff made for my booth at the local antique and handmade crafts mall.

Ah, yes--baseline charges...only problem is, the "baseline" for the average home was probably devised about 1910 and hasn't been adjusted since, which means it's virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get anywhere near that low of consumption.  At least I got a 25 percent discount when I was working for SCE.

That especially becomes fun when you get the Santa Ana's blowing through.  Try living on the other side of the Cajon Pass.  Some family friends live towards Apple Valley/Victorville (not even as hot as Barstow).  Their first month in their new home was June.  Their bill?  $1100.

At least getting to/from the airport isn't as horrible as some places, especially with the shuttle services.  If he's going to do a lot of back and forth between there and Dallas, look into John Wayne--a lot easier to get in and out and not as crowded.

Oh, and check your PM.  I sent you the name of a dentist--PHENOMENAL guy, if you don't mind driving to FV.  He takes just about all insurance and his work is top-notch.

It's hard being back in my windowless cube! We had spectacular weather here both Sat and Sun -- highs 72 and 75, lows in the 50s, low humidity, sunny with just some really high wispy clouds.  Spent yesterday on the boat out on the back bays down the Shore, tooling around Cape May and Wildwood, stopped for lunch and then made it home to watch a disaster known as the Eagles -- Saints game!  Our son has 3 cross country practices but meets don't start until next week.  Back-to-School night is Thurs so I'll have to get to that (kid's in 8th grade). My husband is back out again fishing today, on the Delaware Bay.

It's stopped raining for now... I don't know how long it will last but I'm getting tired of everything being wet.  At least it's nice and cool outside.
