Scintillating half-Monday repartee, half-yawn man.

[Ontarkie 14,302]

Got an electrician coming this week sometime to replace our panel box. Happy it's not going to cost an arm and a leg. It was one of the many things we needed to do before selling. 

 

Next is the main bath. I wanted to do a lot more (total gut) then what I think we will end up doing. 

 

 

[cdneh 3,112]

I am about to have the house re-plumbed. What is here is original, and after the break from the cold weather there have been two more leaks, each a couple of weeks apart. Falling dominoes. Enough already. I have painted the bathroom, re caulked it all. Plumber will install fancy new shower apparatus. I have yet to tile the floor, so it is still just plywood sublfoor, and put up the new backsplash.

I thought I would get that at least started today, but, not. Herself required a bath and a haircut in a serious way. She hates every minute of it, and frankly so do I. Then I went out and cut half of the yard for the first time this year. There is a section right in front of the house that is always the worst part, dense and a total bear to mow if it gets away from me.  Heavy weather in the forecast, and if it rains every day for the next week I'd need to hire sheep out there. I thought once the batteries on the mower were charged I'd do the rest tonight, but I am on strike. Newp.

I am mooning around a bit, Himself has been gone a year now. Still can't travel. Had both vaccinations and still trapped in AR. I had hoped to get the inside work done before the better weather arrives, but I still have two rooms I haven't even started on. Everything takes longer than I think it will.

The CPAs for the POTS empire (one CPA for each month of the year) have compiled the sales figures for last year, of course yet another record man.

 

We will use their cipherin' to do our own taxes, cheap we man.

 

We fully expect that, after reporting income of approximately $Many,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, we will find enough deductions to reduce our tax liability to $0, do it every year man.

My baby turned 20 today (sniff).  It was also the dog's bday, which she did not enjoy so much because of an eye infection.  Vet never called back.

 

The kids think dog looks like a troll when she sits, so I bought sour Trolli gummies for her gift to the boy.

 

Overall, fun times!

No matter the age, they'll always be your babies, si JD ma'am.

 

You're welcome to participate in this thread anytime, si JD ma'am.

Be aware of the general recommendation to use P-math, si ma'am.

Your baby's age is therefore "Many (2x2x2x2 + 2+2)," see ma'am.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

Got our hairs cut today, ears lowered man.

Again went to 2-chica Mexican shop, Señoras Lucy & Margarita ma'ams.

We were the only customer half an hour before closing, usually packed full man.

 

Thought ourself fortunate to get Sra. Lucy again, thought we man.

However, got a borderline-lousy cutting, gotta fight it to attain an appealing look man.

Nevertheless, we will happily abide it because it was cheap, $2x2x2 man.

There's no sense in paying $Many for a cut-hairing when one can pay only $Many, impeccable rationale man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. held Mini-B. out of skool, sneezing/nose-running wee man.

Pediatrician on video consult considers it allergies or perhaps a cold, same as skool nurse man.

Symptoms not there for anything more serious, fortunately man.

However, having been held out, Mini-B. must have a coronaveerus test, Spanish pronunciation man.

This will be on Wednesday, results not till Thursday at earliest man.

Of course, Ex-Mrs.-T-B. lets him spend all day on his tablet rather than anything educational, grrr man.

We have written his teechurs to inquire about video-lurning or e-mailed assignments, ask we man.
