Saturday report, see man:

 

Awoke after another night of poor sleep, gotta medicate ourself man.

We had told Mrs. T-B. on Fri. that we'd take everyone out to din-din on Sat., seemingly agreeable she man.

 

Was about to head out ES-ing when Mrs. T-B. flagged us down, intense she man.

Mama-Mrs.-T-B. had asked #Many (#2+2+1) daughter in Philadelphia to confirm her ticket, geez man.

(Ticket had been bought through El Cheapo Air Travel or some such, eyeroll man.)

#Many daughter couldn't find it, use the confirmation number duh man.

Mama-Mrs.-T-B. freaked out, out-freaking senior she man.

Mrs. T-B. jumped in to help but wanted our assistance, help we help she help senior she man.

We very quickly pointed out the confirmation number, out-point we man.

Mrs. T-B. confirmed the reservation on airline website, relief man.

We improved Mama-Mrs.-T-B.'s seat, take her seat and put it in a new seat man.

 

We have loaded both Many-lb. suitcases into the T-B.-mobile, ouch we man.

Mama-Mrs.-T-B. wants to be at airport Many (2+2) hours ahead of flight, ridiculous man.

We negotiated this down to Many (2+1) hours, dicker we man.

We still have to arise at o'dark-Many, great Sunday man.

But we will be sad to see her go, bye senior she man.

And then the fun starts in the casa, possibly aysheep Mrs. T-B. man.

 

While ES-ing, we got tired around lunchtime, tired we man.

We texted Mrs. T-B. to inquire about anything to eat at the casa, inquire we man.

She wrote, "We are at [Mexican restaurant].  Come man," she notify we man.

We get ourself there just as they're finishing their last bites, good grief man.

(We did polish off Mini-B.'s leftover French fries, take the edge off man.)

Mini-B. in a sour mood, see below man.

Mrs. T-B. said, "We can't sleep after dinner, so I thought we'd go to lunch," thanks for telling us man.

 

At the casa, Mini-B. tearfully approached us, tearful wee man.

"Mommy said I talked back to her, and she took away my tablet and games," quavered wee man.

Mrs. T-B. and we had an explanatory caucus with Mini-B., caucus we and she with wee man.

We got Mini-B. to hold the trash bag as we out-cleaned the T-B.-mobile, helpful wee man.

He then wanted to build Legos with us, drenched-with-sweat we man.

 

Just then, a little friend wanted to come over, joyous wee man.

We said, "See?  This day isn't so bad after all, huh man?" said we to wee man.

 

We were so sweaty that we decided to mow the lawn, midafternoon humidity Many,000% man.

Job took Many (2+1) thick sweatbands plus one for recovery, egad man.

We took some time to recover, recover we man.

We announced our intention to take a siesta, attempt zzz we man.

Mrs. T-B. said, "We're going to the pond to feed the ducks," ducky idea man.

After semisuccessful zzz, their return jarred us awake, no rest for the weary man.

 

We warshered/baked/must fold the kitchen rags, nearly a record number fouled by the Ecus man.

We dished the warsher, Saturday-night requirement man.

We bathed Mini-B. and inspected his scooter injuries, healing nicely and now unbandaged man.

Now to arise at o'dark-Many, oh joy and whoopee man.

I am worn out just reading all that. All I did today was laundry and lawn mowing and I'm shattered.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

We just folded Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2+2) kitchen rags (= former warshcloths), along with our mow-lawning duds and other stuff, standard Saturday night man.

 

We are intentionally leaving the bath linens for Sun. so that we can get Mama-Mrs.-T-B.'s stuff done at the same time, logical we man.

 

We should go to bed soon, but we won't, Know Thyself man.

Early Sunday morning, end of the month. All the benefit cards are empty.

So I go to BJs. Place was empty, like a ghost town. Shelves fully stocked. Beautiful. I put on my mask, gloves, wipe down the cart handle.

Then a nose hair started tickling my nostril. My hands are contaminated now, can't reach the nose...drove me insane for the next hour And a half.

 

I got home, left everything in the car. Went to the bathroom, doused myself in sanitizer, wash hands, pick the @$&$ outout of ma noze, finally got tweezer and plucked the thing out....Oh man relief....
