The Rant of Our Discontent

[N-o-l-a 7,168]

We are getting 10 inches of snow today on top of the snow we already had that has yet to melt.

We are back, the Tornado didn't want to come back home. She wants to live with her bestest brother  

 

Skimmed the thread and Wow! 

 

Tbone - oatmeal baths are awesome for rashes, Chicken pox too   Older daughter lived in the bathtub when she got them. I know they now pox the vax for it but just in case never and I mean never use calamine lotion. SO many kids get secondary infections from it because chicken pox are pretty much open sores.  Anyway hope Mini is feeling better today.

I'm so glad there is a vaccine for it now.  I'm naturally immune or people in my family get subclinical cases, but I remember being purposefully sat next to contagious children in an attempt for me to come down with it.  Yuck.

Man, it's cold again out there. Just took the dog for a bit of a stroll before dark, wish I'd worn my coat. It was in the 70's yesterday.

 

Himself is getting up and down without quite so much moaning, perhaps he is on the mend.

That rain really made it cool down and fast. 

[cdneh 3,112]

We haven't had any rain, I guess it's just a cold front going through. They promised us 6" but not a drop so far. Suits me

[Ontarkie 14,406]

We barely got any but man did it cool things off.

"The Below," which you see man/ma'ams:

We've had none for Many days now, weird both to say and experience recently man.

However, big rainstorm forecast for Wed/Thurs, how dry we aren't man.

Should knock down the infernal pollen, cars all yellow man.

Should make Mrs. T-B.'s Thurs-morn business excursion interesting, put pontoons on Mrs.-T-B.-mobile man.

Thrilling Sunday report, cure for insomnia man:

 

[insert usual Thread Laundress report here, insert man]

 

Got to bed at Many (2+2) a.m. on "Sat. night," truncated zzz man.

Amazingly, Heap Strong Medicine even helped to de-pain corporeal areas that it wasn't supposed to help, boon man.

 

Sadly, did not get to remain in the casa all day, no man.

Went to legacy supermarket (grrrr), Dollar General, Aldi Foods, and to gas/warsh the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile, industrious we man.

Unloaded purchases and took nap, blessed zzz man.

 

Helped Mini-B. with his Kumon casawork, distracted wee man.

Read new book (from a GS) with Mini-B., read we and wee man.

Again inquired of Mrs. T-B. why she hasn't yet run off with the (or a) Rojo, procrastinate she man.

Dished the warsher, really too little to warsh but too much to leave in sink, in-synch we man.

Preparing for short-yet-big sales week for POTSs, customers getting religion man.

Time to get your prostate checked?

Was supposed to go into Fargo today with the Dane but I won't do it.  The roads are sloppy and two kids died yesterday in a car accident on the road we'd be taking today.  All the nopes.

 

The Dane asked me this morning why I chose to live in a place that "handicaps" me when the roads are snowy.  😔  The thing is they aren't often snowy because the wind blows the snow right off the road.
