Daily Ooos: Tuesday, September 23

[faerywings]

Ahhhh!
I am still tired and cranky, and I am trying not to be.

Sunday kinda fried my brain and small family drama annoyed the **** out of me. I was still feeling it yesterday. When I went to bed, I told myself I had the day to be irritated, so now get over it. That didn't work. Honestly, it usually doesn't work completely but it helps. Maybe it is still too early for me to appreciate the new day and all that blah, blah, blah.

I had so much to do yesterday and I finished just about everything. You think I'd be happier. I have to add some more items to my grocery order. Good reason: Scott is coming for dinner on Thursday. Bad effect: I am already $20 over budget and I don't think there is anything I can cut out if it. I am soooo relieved I was able to make it to the FP over the weekend. They were out of a lot of what I requested, but the coffee/dog food/eggs are a huge help. I am not sure what anyone is going to do when their funding is cut in October. That's a worry for another day. October is months away. Months, I tell ya!

It *might* rain here today and tomorrow. Please!! We need it so much. Scott and Sam and taking the kids and Sam's mom camping today. I feel bad that I am wishing for rain while they are, but I worry about our well.

I guess I can start packing for the trip. As of right now, it looks like it will be sunny and 70s-- all good thoughts that it stays that way.

Yikes, I really am tired and cranky. Sorry...
Forgive me?


Have a wonderful day!

Ugh, I still have to ask my coworkers if anyone wants to carpool on Friday. If not, Gary will be w/o the car the entire day. I was hoping that my dad would be closer to giving up driving and passing his car to us. The way he was talking on Sunday, it seems he is *less* ready than he was a few weeks ago.

@vickyday that cabin is something special! I love the porch. It will be soooo wonderful to sit there and watch the fire.
Hope you and your ladies had a fun time at lunch.

@AK_Tracy Please send some rain this way-- *some restrictions apply. Blackout dates: Sept 29-Oct 1.
I hope that you see the sun soon.

No no noo!!!! I wasn't late for the AJ Challenge, I even marked it on my calendar b/c I have forgotten to move it previously


BTW, thank you again for the sweet message you wrote in the thread-- meant a lot to all of us AJ hosts ♥
That's great news about Nessie! Sorry that she still needs to wear the shirt a little longer but better safe than sorry. Jaida has a scab/scar on her face from her aggressive scratching. I guess over so many years of wacking at her jaw with her foot, she now has a calloused bump on it. Vet says not to worry unless it changes shape or size.
Did you survive the day with the grand, along with all of your other tasks?

@BoatLady Not sure when you will read this, but: have a fantastic trip, be gentle to your hip, take lots of pictures, and have a drink in my name!

All's well and you are forgiven! . We all have "THOSE" days!
Where along the shore are you going?
I do hope the rain hits your area but not where you will be at the shore!

Your dad giving up his independence is not going to be an easy thing to do! It is hard for women, but especially hard for men! I hope nothing bad happens for him to realize it is time!

Good Morning,
Been working on church "stuff" this morning so far and have not been able to get my grocery order done! I'll get there.
Had a great time with the ladies I took to lunch yesterday. Didn't get back home until after 3:00! The newest widow in our church who went with us is not a social person, but she is trying! By the time I dropped her off at her house she was DONE but the other widow kept on talking. Kathy rolled her eyes at me (she was sitting next to me in the front and Dorothy was in her wheelchair behind us). Finally she just interrupted Dorothy and said, "OK! I'm going in now! Thanks! I had a wonderful time! Let's do it again sometime! Bye!" And out the door she went! And Dorothy was clueless! I need to get Dorothy out more often, LOL!

By the time Mark got home from work at 4 yesterday and sorted through his milled wood to the wood he wanted to use on the cabin porch, it was already about 6 before we headed to the woods. I ended up getting sick and he had to bring me back to the house. So, he didn't get much flooring laid yesterday. Hopefully, since the wood is down there now, it will go a lot smoother tonight! We are praying it doesn't rain until AFTER the flooring is laid! He worked until 7 and then came back to the house completely exhausted!

OK, I need to get going so I can get my groceries ordered.

It's hard to tell, but he got 3 rows of 8" boards laid. It will take 12 rows to complete. The door had to be trimmed to lay the flooring. It has 2 layers of wood on it, so it was too heavy to take down, which means he had to trim it while it hung.....which was a mistake, as you can see! But he will fix it with trim added to the bottom of the door.......sometime!

Quick in and out this AM....2 days ago the kitchen disposal stopped working. I decided I could live without it and just put things in the trash. Yesterday afternoon, DD#1 got down on knees to push the the reset button on it... then she noticed that the full bin under it had water standing in it!!! NO!!!! Yep... it had sprung a leak... so can't use the dishwasher or run water in the kitchen sink!!!! So all the bins and everything under the sink had to be taken out and is now over under the kitchen window. Thank goodness most of the stuff are in bins.... I found the paperwork on the disposal (bought it 6 years ago). So will be heading over to Lowes to buy a new one and set up for the installation ASAP. DD#1 and I had to wash the dishes using my bathroom sink counter in 2 pans and then cart the clean/dried dishes/pans/etc back to the kitchen. PITA!!! Was so glad that both DDs were here to help me deal with the mess!!! We were up at 6:30 this morning and DD#3 is taking DD#1 to the airport. She will pick up DSon#2 at 6PM when he flies in, pickup some fast food and bring him to my house. Will be avoiding cooking until the disposal and dishwasher are fixed, if possible. Really good thing that I extended my MIA until this weekend.

Good thing that the tummy is tolerating coffee again as I really need the boost it has... Off to get my and dressed. HAGD

Good Morning!

I totally understand this. Happens to me all the time.

I'm trying to send you some rain. Maybe later this week. I think Thursday we get some non rain days. I dont know if it will be sunny or just not raining.

I know youre not late with the AJ challenge. But the 21st is the date right? It was in my mind. So I was stalking things. But have had no time to do more then think about what I want to do.

@vickyday looks like progress!!! Those are some long planks. Bet Mark will be glad when its all done.

@BrightEyes what a PITA to have the kitchen sink unusable. Sorry that happened.

Today is my day off. I am turning my phone off and wont be answering it at all. I need the break from people. Noise. Responsibility. As one comic I follow on IG says, I aint doin it. That's my attitude today. I aint doin it. It rained half the night. Looks like more today. Sorry Chris, trying to send it your way.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

He told me at lunch that he has decided to take the boards up and space them like a deck instead of like actual flooring! I told him it was a good thing he decided that before he got halfway done!

Quick update on Disposal saga... may be able to have it done on Friday... if one part on order for another person doesn't come in.... I am first in the line ...Have a confirmed date on Monday sometime if Friday doesn't work out. So time to pull out the paper plates, etc while DSon#2 is here (Tues-Sat). And just got word his flight is delayed 1 hour (or more)....

Hi Everyone. Did a quick catch read from today!
@vickyday the deck your Mark is building looks pretty cool! I can see a couple of chairs out there and a nice shady place to read or visit!
@BrightEyes Thankfully your DD's and family were around to help with the mess in your kitchen! I hope you get it all fixed soon.
@AK_Tracy hope your day was quiet and you got some rest! We know what tomorrow will bring!
@faerywings You're allowed to feel your feels! Hopefully you'll feel less cranky before your trip though. Where are you going?

This week Belle's car needed some warranty work, so her car was in the shop, Belle took my car, and I had Marks car. That meant I had to take him to work, then I went back home for a little while. His car ran fine. About 2 miles from my work today, the car started shimmying and shaking and felt like it was going to stall. The dash was lighting up. I got to work, told Mark about it, and promptly forgot about it. So when it was time for me to leave work and go get Mark from his work, I realized there was a decision to make . Sit right there and call for help, or, go get Mark then take it to our mechanic who is around the corner from Mark's work. I chose option 2, and prayed the whole 10 miles for green lights and that the car wouldn't stall. I made it safely to Marks work, told him I wasn't driving any more! And we did indeed take the car around the corner to the mechanic, who kept it and gave us a nice loaner car. Mark took me for a coffee to calm my nerves! Hopefully fixing it won't cost an arm and a leg. Mark is dreaming for a new car, but it's still cheaper to fix this one than to buy a new one.

Hope you all have been good!

Oh Amy! What a morning!!!! That would be scary and yeah, I would probably forget to call for help too!! Hope its an easy fix and not too much. Cars are so hard. To fix or not to fix and half the time you dont know the fix cost until they're halfway done and then its finish it or not. Glad Mark took you for coffee, but I'm not sure it calms nerves LOL

Eventually he will put a roof over the deck! That will be super nice!
Car troubles are the worst! Praying the mechanic can make repairs that don't cost an arm and a leg!
