Rante Macabre

Today (Wed., April Many'th) is the Many'th (2x2x2 +2+2th) anniversary of when the [censored] Guayaquil consulate refused Mrs. T-B.-to-be's visa, grrrRRRRRR man.

 

Here is the message, live in infamy man:

 

HOLA CARINO:
 
I HAVE BAD NEWS......THE CONSUL SAID TO ME THAT THE PROOFS AREN俊 ENOUGHT FOR HIM AND HE NEEDS YOU COME HERE AND GO TO THE INTERVIEW WITH ME FOR SEPTEMBER HE SAID---------PLEASE CALL ME WHEN YOU CAN!!!
 
BYE
 
MRS. T-B.-TO-BE

Storm came through in early predawn and morning hours, rain & wind man.

Tree sprigs and small branches down all over, messy streets man.

Two sections of our back fence knocked down, insurance adjustor to call man.

Gazebo on back patio moved several feet, uplifting experience man.

Weather now sunny & cool, small consolation man.

You chicas have slacked off in regard to upvoting our posts, si ma'ams.

Not a chica, and also PRG seems to think I should be spending my paternity leave with her and mini-Dave, not with you guys for some reason... 🤣

 

/PRG and mini-Dave are doing well; first two nights at home he seemed to think sleeping between 1 pm and 4 pm was fine and between 1 am and 4 am was not, but he got over that ...

Oh my. Seems you had it worse that we did around here.  A big dead tree on the other side of the field next to me snapped in half, but nowhere near enough to me to do any harm.

Once we were back inside, Herself disappeared under the bedclothes and stayed there. The thunder went on until well into the small hours, not her favorite thing. It has been a sunny day, but the wind has been blowing like mad.  We are looking at a few nice days coming up, and I will have to tackle the lawn before it gets beyond me again. It's too wet at the moment, so maybe by the end of the week.

I am doing my best to keep moving. Spent the day shifting furniture and getting into the corners. What to keep, what to toss. I think I am too sentimental for my own good.

Take your time .. be sentimental ... it’s your journey and not anyone else’s. In time you’ll make these decisions but until it’s necessary to decide ..just ride with each day

We are currently snacking on dry Froot Loops, breakfast of champions man.

Cat (who has dropped a fuzzy ball & an Arby's wrapper) prep zzz man.

Scintillating repartee since our last report, yawn man.

 

Half-Thursday report, read half man:

Awoke at o'dark-Many to get oil changed in the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile, past time man.

While awaiting completion, found Many (2x2x2) cents in parking lot, Business Typhoon we man.

Then took T-B.-mobile to same place, almost time man.

Price for each oil change, because we brought our own oil/filters, was $Many ($2x2x2x2-1), deal man.

 

Entire casa smells like cooking-odors, watering eyes stinky clothes we man.

The Ecus are making lunch without using the exhaust fan again, stink up place man.

Why do we even shower or do laundry, huh man?

Aha, man -- lunch-lunch is served, participate we man.

Morning rant...

Why Bath & Body Works doesn't ship their products to Poland? Yes, we can buy the originals over here too, but they're like twice the original price! I mean hello! How could that be?! Seems like we're richer than the Americans.

Not.

Yeah, I'm in the mood to rant about it, since I'm about to start the last of the body creams I got last year and it makes me depressed.

😎

Apparently discount clothes for newborns are more expensive in Russia than here.

 

I don't get it. They're made in China anyway, so it shouldn't be more expensive to send them to America (across a very large ocean) than to Russia (right next door). And anyone working on selling and transporting them in Russia is making way less.

Everybody:  It helps to accept that everything costs $Many, that's it man.
