Rant on a Hot Tin Roof

[SAT 9,609]

Leg pic...

Hot out really stinking hot now. I need to get the back yard cut ok off I go fingers crossed I don't quit half way through.

Don't you have like 4 able bodied sons, some with ox-like strength and camel-endurance? 

[Ontarkie 14,222]

None of them are around. Oldest moved out lives 3 hours away. One is sleeping, he's working nights this week. Other is working and the Jedi is too small

Hot this morning early, and getting hotter all day no doubt. The "feels like" temp is already at 110.

 

I have a long day ahead. Laundry and I have to walk the fence line to work out where that darn dog escaped yesterday and block it up. I need to shop, vacuum and wash the floors, and make up the bed in the guest room. I have all day to do it, and into the night. My friends from NZ are arriving at 03:02 in LR Saturday morning, so I'll just stay up.

 

We are driving up to Branson on Sunday, and staying there until Tuesday afternoon. They leave again at 03:04 Wednesday morning.

 

I have found a CRN to stay with the MIL, which she initially agreed to and quite liked the person, and now has changed her mind. She's been fine up until this morning, and now she's cranky about it. And I don't give a fiddlers if she is. We're off, and her bad mood only makes us more likely to go, not less. It's the first time I have had company in 7 years, and I think I ought to be allowed to have some friends to stay, it's only the once. 

 

So she's misbehaving. Wandering off without her walker, trying to clean cupboards, climb down the steps to the patio because 'someone' has to water the poor plants, complaining I shouldn't go because she feels 'puny', that I'm heartless, yadda yadda. It is almost like watching a small child play up when the parents want a night out, and the babysitter is about to arrive.

You need to pack up and get out of there. You are in way over your head and if she gets hurt guess who is going to be at fault. I can see someone turning around and claiming elder abuse. 

They are taking advantage you.  The doctors don't give a rats behind on what is going on because they just dump everything back on you. As you are not the one in charge of her medical they aren't taking you seriously.

Re food-poisoning, finally gave up and swigged some Pepto, get back in the pink we man.

Mrs. T-B. miserable from a cold and female-type-girl stuff, ouch she man.

Absent rain, we hope to mow lawn after work, industrious we man.

A great Many GSs, ESs, & MSs itineraried for Saturday, hope for no rain man.

If you were applying for Poland, they would have accepted your exact Many on the first, not the Many'th, try, D2 ma'am.

I'll consider Poland for the next trip!

I second the move out and let the money grabbing sister take a turn.

My MIL is nowhere near as bad as yours and is already driving us insane at times - we have pre warned her that as soon as she starts that nonsense ( she's going to, it's what her mama did too ) we're packing her off to a nursing home.

 

Weedkiller applied to the bank outside, one day, maybe I'll be able to finish mulching the area and won't need to do it so often.

Pots watered, ball thrown until the squishy faced one could run no more. Am now part melted so hiding indoors from the heat.

 

Redneck wants to go see some movie, he's told me a dozen times what it is but darned if I can remember 😂😂

Thai VISA approved!

One less thing to worry about, I'm really looking forward to Japan and Thailand now
