Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

Infernal rain awoke us early again today, time to build an Ark man.

Poor fence guys had to sit in their truck all morning, waste of their time man.

Even after they got out and tried working, rain filled any hole they dug, sigh man.

Job won't be done till Monday now, probably, OK with us man.

 

We didn't have a prayer of GS-ing today, rain plus completely hosed back ow ow ow man.

We should not have tried taking Mama T-B.'s groceries up stairs, use elevator instead man.  

 

Lunch (at 2 p.m.) was a ham + cheese sandwich, indict the ham and ingest we man.

 

We had the move-desking and other casa-hold items needing doing, call Ecu handyman we man.

We managed to move things around in, and vacuum, guest room, see below man.

Ecu came at half-of-half till Many (2+1) p.m., always early he man.

He moved Mini-B.'s old desk upstairs into guest room with ease, si man.

He de-T-B.-mobiled Mini-B.'s new desk and put it where the old one had been, si man.

We had him do a few small things involving tools and bending/climbing, incapable of latter we man.

All were done in half an hour, wonderful man.

We were expecting the usual charge of $Many, cheap man.

Instead, he charged us $Many, inflation man.

Regardless, it was pleasing to see him again and to get the stuff done, conclude we man.

Miu was highly observant of the entire process, welcome relief from miu-boredom man.

 

We didn't leave the casa until half-past Many (2+2+2+1) p.m., no man.

Went to Aldi, grocery we man.

Had to rush consequent to their insufferable "We close in Many minutes,"  man.

We forgot to look for the most crucial item, nukeable rice man.  

 

We were delayed from leaving the casa because a stray miu wanted to come into our garage, poor miu man.

We couldn't feed it or love on it because of Aldi's insanely early closing hours, sigh man.

Whoever abandons or lets mius roam freely like that should be disciplined or worse,  we man.

 

We will probably concoct more Tuna Glop (genuine or Modified) for din-din, si man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. & Mini-B. called us to caucus about his allegedly impending haircut,  man.

We have hope that it will actually get done on Sunday, fingers crossed man.

Today was birthday of ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s #2 sister, miss party because not in Ecu we man.   

 

If we can move on Sunday, we shall do laundry, probably just one load man.

We must adjust bedsheet-warshing schedule because of coming shift in Mini-B.'s weekly custody, must calculate we man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, HSM instead at bedtime man.

 

And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

Yes Costco was great and why I wanted to buy from them. They do have awesome customer service.

The one time that we ever needed to return anything -- a NIP case of Body Armor drinks -- the clerkette said, "I don't know if we can take this back, no man," and took forever trying to get her swamped supervisorette's approval,  we man.  We were seething and ready to explode after having already waited in line for Many minutes,  man.

 

Edited to add, see man:  LPoP and unread, sorry Ontarklar man.

It depends on what the wet glop was and whether your mius would eat it, si D ma'am.

It also depends on what the definition of Many is, si D ma'am.

You may have gotten a fabulous deal   or gotten off-ripped   , glorious flexibility of P-Math ma'am.

But we are generally always proud of you, si D ma'am.

He said that Whirlpool/Frigidaire/Electrolux now sucks, same company now man.

 

Correction: Whirlpool is not related to Frigidaire/Electrolux in any way.

Separate companies, however Whirlpool does make Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and many of the Kenmore products among others.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

Took HHHHHHHHSM at bedtime, back tolerable in morning man.

Awakened again by morning rain, enough already man.  

Breakfast was a banana, better eat them before they die man.

 

Spent large part of midday dealing with family issue,  man.

 

It was half-past 1 p.m. and we still hadn't showered, that kind of day man.

Fence guys not working on Sunday, still too wet to do much man.

We went out to inspect the lawn, in desperate need of mowing man.

Parts were dry to the touch, and parts were sopping-wet, schizoid man.

We decided to take a chance, has paid off in the past man.

 

Stupid mower bogged down in several lawn-lagoons,  man.

Many tyre-tracks left in lawn, expected and OK man.

We had to stop and rest Many (2+1) -- si man, Many (2+1) -- times, almost unprecedented man.

We have never been this exhausted during or thereafter, at least in recent memory man.

Good thing for that breakfast banana or we'd have collapsed, certain we man.

 

Made it back inside in one piece, not a guaranteed thing man.

Plopped down under ceiling fan to off-cool and turned on TV, kill cooldown time man.

The Ozempics were on, uninterested but nothing decent on man.

They showed Chicas' Beach Volleyball, siiiiiiii man.

However, the 2 rubias were not good-looking at all, no man.

Furthermore, the Czech chicas (Czicas?) weren't even in bikinis, what's the purpose then man.

They deserved to lose, which they did man.

The broadcast then switched to Chicas' Kickball, oh whoopee man.

At least it wasn't a thrilling 0-0 tie, what's the purpose of Kickball if you end with those man.

We were finally off-cooled enough to shower, not a moment too soon man.

 

Din-din was Modified Tuna Glop, ingest and diet we man.

Took a blessedly uninterrupted hour-plus-long siesta, zzz we man.

Warshered and now baking week's laundry load, domestic we man.

Must dish the warsher, domestic we man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, too exhausted we man.

Fridge repairman supposed to come midday Monday, Many-hour window therefor man.

We then envision out-cleaning several tubs of old clothes from guest room, there for years man.

(We should de-paper our desk, all slides off especially when miu jumps on it man.)

Of course, Mama T-B. will probably have some assignment to hose our plans,   man.

We will burn that bridge when we cross that Rubiacon, time will tell man.

And that was/is our thrilling Sunday, report we man.

[Ontarkie 14,226]

The side yard and front yard have been mowed. I really wish the city would allow mini cows or a few goats

 

I'm cooling off now and will get started on the backyard. That will probably be a two day job. I'm hoping this heatwave will kill the grass and I don't have to worry about it getting long while I'm gone. The kids are counting down the days until we leave for Canada. This time we decided to travel through Wisconsin instead of Michigan. I'm trying to plan our route so we can have some decent stops.

Well it's been quite a week...

 

My uncle died, which is quite complicated because we're not really sure who is the executor of the estate and he had some of my parents documents involving family plots. My dad has been quite devastated and apprehensive about going to the funeral, as he's not well himself. He didn't have a thing to wear, so this weekend I went shopping to make sure he was dressed okay and got a haircut. In the process of that though, my sister mentions that a coworker had been sick in office and had refused to test themselves or wear a mask. My sister does mask, but she is high risk, and has long covid side effects from previous infection. Unfortunately the office also do not let her use a desktop HEPA unit either (guess what now everyone in the office and their families are also testing +!). Yesterday my mom mentioned that my sister felt 'weird', and when I found her she had the classic signs of what I call "covid brain".. I don't know what it is but people just act so odd, fuzzy, unfocused, in a daze? I found my stash of tests and she had a strong + in minutes. Oh my gosh... she had been in close contact with everyone here. I spent the rest of the day disinfecting everything, and we have HEPAs and our old corsi-rosenthal running on all levels. I cannot afford to have anyone else here that is so vulnerable sick. She won't be able to attend the funeral now.

 

The doctor sent an RX over to the pharmacy, but guess what? Pharmacy doesn't have any stock. No pharmacy in town has stock, so after a massive back and forth, we found a pharmacy the next town over to fill Paxlovid and I hope it helps as her fever is quite high and this time around it's causing tachycardia. So far, fwiw, we are all testing negative and I hope it stays that way.
