Thursdays #119 - Shuttle on down...

[smokey the elder]

Aw, that's the pits about your accident. We haven't had rain here in almost a month, just heat, heat and more heat. We have had TEN TIMES as many 90 deg F days this year as last year.

I'm still at work so I'll just have a Dr Pepper float. (Like a root beer float with Dr Pepper instead...yum!)

Oh Debbie, I'm so sorry to hear that your day started off so bad. Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt and I sure hope those people don't take you to the cleaners.

I'm in the mood for some breakfast. What do ya say I start making the eggs bennie. Laurie, you around? I'll heat up a pan for them crab cakes.

DJF: I remember awhile back your husband was sick. How is he doing now? You have not mentioned it.

concerned in Canada

Thanks for your concern *hugs* He is doing a lot better but still not up to 100% yet. Even I'm not up to optimal operating specs after this stomach thing. Turns out he got a virus, which didn't in any way help his current issue and while caring for him I ended up with the virus too. I almost ended up in the hospital myself
All in all though, he has been eating better and we've made some diatary changes that are improving his digestion significantly. He is in a lot less pain now, and is sleeping better now that the weather has cooled down (not sleeping right will agrivate his stomach too for some reason). He's been stuck to me like glue though lol. When I first met him, he told me that he wasn't a cudly person and he really wasn't too fond of the whole huggy cuddle thing until reciently. Now, since he got so sick (this is only the second time I've seen his stomach pain make him cry and this time was really the more sirious of the two) he's been really attached to me. I guess this was a major wake up call for him.. I know it sure as h**l was for me!!
Sigh, now Im getting all puddle eyed. I do miss him while I'm at work. With the commute, Im gone from home about 10-12 hours a day, depending on if I have to run errands after work. I worry a lot, especially if he seems like he was feeling bad before I leave for work(he usually wakes up early with me and we chat and cuddle before I have to leave). I'd be a total mess if I ever had to travel. I haven't spent a night away from him since we got married. It's really amazing how much I love John, and how much he loves me (He put up with A LOT of my mental issues and helped me get the treatment I needed for them)
Are we bad lol?
Yeesh, and here I go writing a friggen novel I'll take another DOTD and some CNTs and crabcakes for the kitty butts. Put something nice and mellow in a to-go cup for John...he'll appriciate it

Smokey
Dr. Pepper float, DONE!

Julie
I hate to "wine" but you have not ordered a drink yet today.

DJF
Good to hear. I was assuming things were more or less back to normal since you have been mentioning going to parties. Darn those nasty viruses. Maybe we can gather them all up and send them on the next shuttle!

DOTD and crab cakes - DONE!
CNT - DONE!
For John how about a cup of blueberry tea with a shot of Baileys? Try it, you'll like it. DONE!

I'm just going to some cleanup duty and get back to work.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Blueberry tea with Baileys? Sounds....eerrr....interesting....but I'll try just about anything once.

For now though, I'll just have a DOTD. Work's been busy with another insurance guy in - and new software people in....ugh...it's going to be a busy next few weeks around here...

But, it's now Friday evening, about time to head home and then I don't have to be back here until Monday - wooo hooo!

I'll leave you with a picture of the damage to my car and her car - which reminds me, Julie, you reminded me that I didn't give these people the attitudes, that they are just that way, and I could tell that from the second she got out of the car. My very first thought "Oh great, I'm screwed." I wouldn't doubt it if they have already contacted a lawyer, they're just that type. And when you see this pic and see the damage to her car, you'll see that she has every right to contact a lawyer.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

And here's the damage to my car. I think I can live with it.

[DJFyrewolf36]

Oh gimme a friggen break...any judge would laugh a case like that right out of court. Pfft, there is hardly any damage to her car!
I don't even think a shop would even bother fixing that around here lol.

I'm going to have to try that blueberry thing, slick. Blueberrys and Baileys are two of Johns favorite things.

John is happy to be going to parties again. The parties here pretty much are just gatherings of us "youngins" BSing about our wierdo lives with techno background noise lol. It gives all of us with jobs some time to chill and catch up on the events of our generation. We're a close knit group really lol.

Speaking of parties...I have a exiting announcement!! My demo album is going to be finished next week and I'm submitting it to several production companies who *hopefully* will like my mixing style and have me play a couple of shows this winter. I'm exited because if I get popular with the smaller local shows, I could end up being booked for big shows in Seattle, San Fransico and even Chicago!!

DJ Fyrewolf, soon to be annoying parents on a national level lol.

[joycenalex]

my week at work is OVAH!!! another double DOTD special and i'll sit down, breathe and leave the corporate world behind..how in the world can you give staff bonus' and lay off people in the same week for financial reasons?

[catland]

Debbie - good for you that you have photos!

Slick - so I need to order a drink? Got any red slushies back there? - Just don't spill them on me.

This is a No Spill Zone...

Just as long as your hubby is there to identify your clothes.

DONE.

DJ,
Do we see a top 10 in your future? Good luck and let's have a drink???
DONE!

T&P,

I feel your pain.....Part of my 'Six Months Of Pain' was having my brother hitting a pedestrian, in my truck, on my birthday, the day after we buried my dad. Not trying to win a "Pity Contest".
Just want to let you know that when things get rotten, Someone
out there is a little more 'screwed' that you are...

Things will work out.

Drink?
DONE!

JNA,

Isn't it fun to have your soul back, even for just two days???

I noticed my checks were a little bit bigger bigger in the last few weeks. ANd today we found out that there is a 5% raise on september......talk about being lucky...

Shall we drink to the spoils of hard labor??

DONE!

Hey you all....

Spaceman anyone??

DONE!!

Oh and I wanted to ask the ladies if they were a little envious of our First Woman to Walk in Space???

[lbaker]

Richard, I've been a spacey walker since the 60's

[Corinna]

I surprise myself sometimes!


LB,
The original Space Woman.....and we thought the Russkies were first.

[dukedogsmom]

Hi all. Checking in here. I wouldn't be surprised about anything Richard does
Corinna Thanks so much for the post cards. It was very nice of you to do that. I love the Glacier one with the flowers. I've got it on my computer desk.
Hope everyone is doing well this weekend. I've been living in my PJs so how about a pajama party? We can make popcorn and smores and watch movies.

[davidpizzica]

Sounds good! My two, I mean three are sleeping already! Marigold found her safe spot and stays there most of the day. I volunteer for corn popping!

[dukedogsmom]

We could pretend it was cold and get the fireplace going and make hot chocolate. It's cold somewhere right now, anyway. Wish I was there. It's so hot here, you can't even bear to get outside. I've got lots stuff for the smores. Does Mario like marshmallows? They can get messy. We don't want him having sticky fur. I'll bet he's not crazy about baths.
