Let Sleeping Dogs Rant

[TBoneTX 45,304]

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

There is nothing like a daylong headache, continuous man.

 

After in-casa delays, went to Costco for up to Many (2+2) sale items, venture we man.

Two were too expensive even on discount, forget them man.

The chief product of interest was sold out at 2 p.m. on a Thursday,      we man.

We found the Many'th (2+2th) item and picked something else up, oh well man.

Store was mobbed with rude non-English-speakers with no sense of personal space,  man.

Rant, see man:  Quit blocking entire aisles by means of your sloppy cart-placement,  man!

 

Lunch (at 2 p.m.) was the Costco footlong hot dog + Pepsi, ingest financially savvy we man.

 

We left frazzled and with a bigger headache than we'd gone in with,  man.

 

Before decompression at the casa, Mama T-B. called, call we man senior she man man.

There came another half-hour of induce-headaching lectures and worries,  man.

 

A siesta was surprisingly restorative, be thankful for little crumbs of happiness we man.

 

Din-din was toucans of chicken noodle soup, ingest we man.

 

We then decided to do most of our & Uncle T-B.'s shopping at Aldi, decide we man.

Heavy, infuriatingly slow traffic, miss every stoplight needlessly man.  

Got our few items, stash in T-B.-mobile we man.

Re-entered for Uncle T-B.'s Many items, also stash in T-B.-mobile we man.

Tried to re-enter to use restroom, one minute before closing time man.

"Manager" refused our entry, saying, "No, man -- we're closed, man."

We have Corporate's number on our receipt,  and   man.

 

Just driving out, we get a call from ex-Mrs.-T-B., call we man ex-she man man.

"We're at your door -- where are you, huh man?" said ex-she man.

"Huh, man?" said we man.

"Mini-B. needs help with his hoamwurk, si man.  We tried calling you, si man."

We explained our situation, headache in full bloom man.

"I'll let him in and we'll wait for you, si man," said ex-she man.

 

At the casa, we hurriedly crammed all cold items into fridge/freezer, hurry we man.

We then bathroomed ourself, highly necessary man.

Miu was loudly lobbying for din-din, not time yet man.

Mini-B. was mini-hooping, loud racket man.

Our headache was at Many -- si man, Many -- on a 1-to-Many scale,  man.

 

Mini-B.'s project was to make a poster for Texas History, small blessing man.

We asked him the instructions, highly vague wee man man.

Our headache topped Many, same poop different day man.

Furthermore, this was a 2-student job to have been completed in class,  man.

Mini-B. + partner had done only the title and a headline,   man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had to return to her casa to retrieve Mini-B.'s laptop,  man.

Ex-she man then stayed, do own work while waiting man.

 

We referred Mini-B. variously to ChatGPT, findlaw.com, and the Texas Constitution online man.

We practically dictated the verbiage for the poster, dictate we man.

We found and printed the Internet images to accompany the verbiage, find and print we man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. impatiently glued the images to the poster, got glue on our din-din table too man.  

All this time, miu was conducting close-up supervisory inspections, nosy miu man.

Ex-she man then hustled Mini-B. back to her casa to get him ready for bed, impatient ex-she man.

 

Now what if the rubias had been here at the casa during this unannounced invasion, huh man?

 

We have just consumed the last Many'th of the Costco chicken salad, ingest we man.

We are consuming (hand-over-fist) Cape Cod Kettle Cheaps, ingest we man.

Our diet today should have consisted solely of HSM analgesics, conclude we man.

 

We have itineraried Many (2x2x2 +1) -- si man, Many (2x2x2 +1) -- ESs for Friday, itinerary we man.

We shall probably attend at least Many (2x2x2 -1), realistic minimum man.

 

Party with the rubias imminent, cavort we man.

Easy peasy man.  I've only been to Texas twice, but even I can sum up the history of Texas.

 

1.  The Alamo

2.  Texas statehood.

3.  Killed Kennedy.

4.  Welcomed migrants.

Scintillating repartee lately except from DA man, yawn except for DA man man.

And that's probably a short-term thing. After we move, will no longer be starting work at 7 am and so have some free time between signing off for the day and picking up mini-Dave from preschool.

 

/though PRG's job won't let her start earlier than 7 Pacific, so I think I'll be making dinner every day we don't go out instead of just most days

//not really a problem; I like cooking; made some Hungarian goulash yesterday because mini-Dave decided he didn't like stroganoff so tried to come up with something else to do with the meat and that turned out well, even if I used cheap store-brand paprika despite recipe calling for imported Hungarian sweet paprika

Welcomed migrants.

A passenger plane began losing altitude over the Atlantic, si man.  The captain dumped fuel, but the plane kept going down, si man.  He dumped the luggage and doggie-crates, but the plane kept going down, si man.

 

Finally, he came on the intercom and said, "Folks, I've tried everything, but we're losing altitude, si and sigh man.  I'm going to ask for volunteers to jump off the plane in hopes of saving everyone else, si man."

 

"Vive le France, oui man!" said the Frenchman, and he jumped off the plane, bye man.

"God save the King, verily man!" said the Englishman, and he jumped off the plane, bye man.

"Long live Mother Russia, da man!" said the Russian, and he jumped off the plane, bye man.

"Remember the Alamo, si man!" said the Texan, as he threw off an illegal Mexican, adios man.

Friday ES report, see man:

 

We attended Many (2x2x2 -1) of the Many (2x2x2 +1) itineraried ESs, si man.

Good thing, too, because we'd have run out of time otherwise, late start we man.

The first 2 and last 2 ESs yielded the take, see man:

 

 -- calculator = $1, OK man

 -- calculator with musical keys = $2, deal man

 -- gigantic book of jokes (  ) = $Many ($2+2), deal man

 -- roller for garden hose, silent-sweep wall clock, Many (2+2+1) fresh "D" batteries, 

          mouse pad = $Many ($2x2x2x2), steal man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 -1)

 

We wanted a hose-roller for winding up our blow-leafer's long extension cord, pleased we man.

 

We needed another wall clock because, of the 2 most recently purchased out-of-town, one failed to survive the trip back and the other was ultimately defective, oh well man.

 

Although we could have done without the Many (2+1) dud ESs in the middle and were exhausted after T-B.-mobiling over Many00 miles, this was a productive ES itinerary, si man.

[TBoneTX 45,304]

Thrilling Friday non-ES report, see man:

 

Awoke on time but did irritating administrative work before ES-ing, burdens of being a successful Business Typhoon we man.

 

Lunch was at BK* on the road, ingest we man.

     *WUOC, financially savvy we man

 

Returned to casa and indignant desire-treating miu, service indignant miu we man.

Took shower, borderline objective need but good move always man.

Siesta'd like a dead thing for a planned hour truncated by call from Mama T-B.,  man.

'Twas prophetic, because neighbor's lawn service started blow-leafing just minutes later,  man.

Miu remained on our bed before, during, and after said siesta, unmovable miu man.

 

Mini-B. got a Many (Many00 - [2+2+1]) -- si man, Many (Many00 - [2+2+1]) -- on his History poster, happy and  we man.

 

Din-din was onecan of Costco chunk chicken breast + 2 bread slices, ingest we man.

 

On Saturday, we plan to procure remaining and deliver all of Uncle T-B.'s groceries, plan we man.

On Sunday, Ecu handyman will come to help with mostly small projects, help Ecu he man.

Later tonight, uninhibited party with the rubias, cavort we man.

Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

It monsooned like an illegitimate male child overnight, flash boom drench man.

Finally stopped a bit before noon, finally man.

Groceried the last bits for ourself and for Uncle T-B., si man.

Delivered to Uncle T-B., stuff from before + today, grateful senior he man.

 

Lunch was Many (2x2x2) fish sticks that Mini-B. declared he won't eat, ingest we man.

A nice siesta was taken, zzz we man.

 

On phone for an hour with Mama T-B., couldn't buy a CD online and groused at us senior she man.

Mama T-B. also wants us to price an Rx at Many (2+1) -- si man, Many (2+1) -- pharmacies,  man.

 

Din-din was onecan of Aldi chili, ingest we man.

 

We must organize our list of casa tasks, and the casa itself, for Ecu handyman's visit Sunday, si man.

He will come at Many (2x2x2 +1) a.m. -- si man, Many (2x2x2 +1) a.m. -- ungodly hour man!

We shall rely on a caffeine pill in order to function, mandatory man.
