Happy Thursday everyone.

I am halfway through my work week. Whew! Yesterday was funny at my cleaning gig. The client is on vaca and gave me the code to the garage door opened. I get in, no problems. I go to leave, I thought I was going to be stuck there! I opened the door, walk out, and there was nothing for me to close the door with. I look around, there is nothing, no direction on the key pad. I go back in the garage, close the door and try to run out. Trip the sensors and it goes back up, light flashing. I try again. I look for something, anything that I can use to close the door from the outside.
Ok, I figure I'll close he garage door and leave through the front. Front door is dead bolted with a key. So is the back door.
I call Gary.

After he is done laughing at me, he suggests everything I have tried before. Then he tells me to try to jump over the sensors. Cell phone in hand, I do that twice, no luck. But if there were any neighbors watching, I could have been on You Tube in a heartbeat.:laugh:

Finally I go back to the keypad, and hit random buttons. I have no idea which one triggered it to close, but one of them did.

And that is my silly story of the day!

Catzilla approves and is showing me how proud hse is by rubbing all over my face LOL

Eva:
The Trunk Dragon Tamer :whip: I love it!!
That cleaning bug is too funny! Did it help you clean the tiles?

Phyllis and Laurie- hope you had a great day in the sun too.

Kitty- sounds like a good idea- out your feet up and relax!!

To everyone else who pops in today, hugs!!
 
Hey - you lost or what? It's only the 15th today :)

Did get the tiles clean yesterday - the entire hall actually. Today ... I think it's time for the kitchen.

Otherwise, I'm not a very happy camper. Dad is back in the hospital again. He's going in and out all the time ... at least it feels like it. He was so well last week, was here and visited, and he was so happy, he'd been able to go grocery shopping with mom - not even waiting in the car - he was in with her in the store. And now - some kind of infection in his elbow - high fever - vomitting. Antibiotitics. I guess he's really sensitive for everything, and gets VERY sick for a simple little cold.

Don't know if everyone knows:
my dad has had several heart attacks, and his heart is really really poor. Like 25% function or something. His aorta is "broken". He's more or less still alive because he's so stubborn!

Mom's devestated of course. They met when she was 15, and she just had her 76th birthday (dad is 77) - so - a whole life time together. Can't be easy to see the love of your life - really the foundation of your life - whither away :(

Just so you know why I'm a bit quiet ...
 
yeah, baby, 15th here. hahaa..

About me.. I am totally lost my working spirit, bah!!
So I scrap a hybrid page. Good for my soul, bad for my back, as I don't have a good table, I do everything on the floor.

Chris, omy goodness!! hahaha what an experience.. lol..

Eva, I am sorry about your dad, how old is he now? :( It's a big pain so see your daddy sick - talking from my past experience and from a daddy girl side of me. Sending him best wishes and also for your mom..
 
Eva, i hope things improve with your dad soon. this has to be difficult for everyone, especially your mom.

Chris. definitely YouTube material. i cn just picture you trying to leap over the sensors. Mission Impossible stuff!

my older sister is coming over today, in a few hours. we're not exactly close, but she called yesterday and asked if she coud come. i think she wants the bottle of wine i told her about. couldn't be just for a cheery visit.

i was up what felt like ALL NIGHT because it was so HOT in my bedroom. i don't have the screens in yet, so i just lay there and roasted. this morning SCREENS are going in my bedroom. HA! that's probably the cue for it to start snowing and go back to 18 degrees.

i'm coming off a a real optimist this morning, eh? oh, well. haven't had any coffee yet.

enjoy Thursday any way you can!

I love Thursday because it's sooo close to Friday. :D

Phylis, a bottle of wine... *sigh* can I come, too?
 
OH - dentist today to take off the fake tooth, put in a post build another fake tooth, prep for a $$$$$ capping and then hair appt and grocery shopping. I forgot that my alarm is set for 2 hours later than normal on my day off, tossed and turned (probably at normal time) and then when alarm went off, I looked at the clock and went- really seems to be how my day may go today!
 
Hey everyone, just quickly checking in. We have all had the stomach flu :sick: and now are feeling better finally. Yucky couple of days with cleaning up lot of :puke: Record warm temp here snow all gone and so the new boots were not the thing to buy of course!! I feel like I am out of the loop with all of you, but will try to catch up when I get back home. Off to have some fun at the park and perhaps the children's museum once more. Lots to keep them busy there. Have a great thurs. everyone. Missing the "O"!! :wave:

Hello Weds the 15th…

Chis, you must have jumped over a day as well as those sensors! I suspect the client's neighbors will be telling her quite a story!

Eva, I may not have your cleaning bug but I do feel a NEED to clean up this house. It really hasn't been cleaned well since my daughter, and then son came. The housecleaners did come but I suspect she spooked them out with her strange manner.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad but it is amazing that his HAS lived for so long with such a heart impairment. Your mom must be beside herself thinking of life without him.

Kitty…you need a table! I sea!

Phylis, thanks for reminding me that it's not so bad to be an only child. I do like one of my sil-s a lot and should make the effort to see her more. It's usually about once every 18months! We don't take the screens down - not much storage space - but it would encourage me to clean or have the windows cleaned periodically.

Laurie, I do hear you about the $$$s for the crown! I broke both of my front teeth in Africa in the 70s when a volleyball flew across the court and hit the drink I had up to my mouth. Truly a freak accident. I still have those teeth and the cost of replacing them for whiter ones is …A LOT.

Trudy - what a time you all must be having! a round of Lomotil for all! your emoticon says it all. :-( I suspect home will feel very good when you get back.

Me - a brief and thankfully uneventful visit with my daughter at the hospital. She was coming in for a meeting with the oncologist and bloodwork. That will determine if and when they go ahead with radiation. She looked a good bit better but seemed as if she has lost some cognitive functioning. At times she seemed very childish, even simple. After she went to her appnt., I asked the social worker about it and she wanted to know if this is how she always was. Oh No! We ended up talking for a good bit of time, and I, at least, felt a lot better and relieved. She reminded me there will always be serious ups and downs mentally, outside of her cancer treatment. It's hard not to have a hope, a belief that she has changed when times are good. It's even harder imagining she will have a future like this and never being really independently functional. But it is what it is and yesterday was good.

Today Dick is biking in Cumberland Western MD which is waaay out there. I am going to upload my last years 365 pages and then buy more credits on Persnickity! The sale goes on til the 18th!
 
hehee..Maureen, it's THURSDAY! we'll all get this straight at some point! glad that yesterday wasn't too bad with your daughter. and WOW on the bike route. Western MD is about like it is around where i live, and there are HILLS! BIG hills!

Trudy, hope you all feel better!
 
:rofl: Chris. i'm still for doing the party with the wine. then we all won't CARE what day or date it is!! :partywine
