Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

Mama T-B. turned Many -- si man, MANY -- years old today, even-more-senior she man man.

We called her rather early to recognize this, dutiful descendant we man.

Mama T-B. thanked us and then went aysheep about CDs again, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

We should be thankful that she's not a vegetable in a nursing home, perspective man.

 

Got late start because of scheduling with the DR, Diminutive Rubia man.

Hit only the Many (2+1) ESs per Saturday GS/ES report, oh well man.

Groceried at Aldi for remainder of Two Guys Week stuff, grocery we man.

 

Breakfast/lunch (at half-past 2 p.m.) was onebag of nuked Aldi mixed vegetables, ingest we man.

It did not help our "we're starving" headache from hours before, no man.

 

The DR (who lives Many -- si man, MANY -- miles away) strove for arrival by Many p.m., intrepid DR she man.

We strove for a siesta, too bad a headache man.

Even a mega-Tylenol later didn't help much, bummer man.

 

Din-din was the onecan of pinto beans from today's ES, ingest financially savvy we man.

 

The DR spent 2 hours + half an hour trying to make it to our casa, intrepid DR she man.

She was prettier but somewhat thicker than we'd envisioned from fotos, oh well man.

Miu was quite gregarious and investigatory, curious miu man.

Conversation was great despite some tangential whackadoo ideas, converse we and DR she man man.

Her body language was positive and she even held our hand, si man.

Other stuff eventuated, won't squeal we man.

She had to go to be home by Many p.m., unfortunately man.

The DR is probably not wife material but should be an excellent girlfriend, intuit we man.

And, she is a natural rubia, take THAT Bro G. man.

 

Din-din #2 was toucans of Chef B. lasagna, ingest we man.

 

Sunday plans are to lawn-mow, conquer one LL, and prep for Mini-B.'s arrival, conclude we man.

The Stupor Bowl will apparently be on, prefer AFV instead (if on) we man.

This week will bring the verdict on our A1c level, out-sweating this we man.

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

Oh. putting 2 and 2 together here... LOL

 

And what does she charge for "respecting her time"?  

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Went to the doctor today. They've moved practices.. no idea why. Office is now small and concerningly dingy. Was seen very late, and in walks... someone who isn't my doctor. Basically fobbed off onto a nurse-student who seemed to be into woo-woo and not anything professional or doctor-like. This person had to basically complete the appointment and inform my doctor without me talking to them myself. When my doctor finally came in, I re-mentioned two ongoing issues. They told me that wasn't something they could help with and I'd need to go see someone else. I was not actually examined in any way. I drove an additional 40 minutes just to be there and waste my time. Think it's time to look for someone new...

Agree!  

 

Hubs is going to be annoyed - he wasn't supposed to be home for another 2 hours so I made chocolate chip banana muffins for Kid1.  He hates the smell of banana.  Joke's on him, I guess.  

 

Now, if the washer part I need would just arrive already so I could repair the washing machine, one headache of mine would go away...

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

What a day, si and sigh man.

 

Breakfast was a banana, ingest we man.

 

Had to take Mama T-B. to doctor and grab supermarket item in heavy monsoon, How Dry We Aren't man.

Rain quit precisely after we got Mama T-B. back to her crib, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

Lunch was onecan of Costco chicken breast, ingest we man.

 

Heard nothing from FJC all morn, zero man.

Returned to casa to find 2 e-mails, see e we man.

In one, she said, "I can't respond to texts anymore because I'm overdue on my $Many00 payment," 🙄 man.

We merely commented that she must have a very expensive plan, demur we man.

She said that it was this month + past overdue, well OK man.

 

We and the FJC continued to e-mail, OK man.

It turns out that she is really in Shreveport, LA, recent transfer and :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

However, she claimed the ability and willingness to travel to us "anytime," offer FJC to we man man.

We proposed several open days next week, si man.

She said that she would get back to us next week, great for planning man.

She noted again that loss of her cell service was hampering her activities, 🙄 man.

We told her, "Nothing personal, but we firmly do not send money to anyone unmet, no man," si man.

She replied, "Understood -- hope it doesn't change anything, no man," 🙄 man.

We then asked her for clarification of several issues, life story man.

No response since then, could be one of a couple of reasons man.

"Trust but verify" should clarify whether the FJC is real or fake, could go either way man.

We also could find nothing online matching the FJC's name, no records man.

 

Din-din was "Chicken Pad Thai" from Costco, off of future menus after ingest Two Guys man.

 

Our blood labs came back, anticipatory we man.

Damned glucose is Many (2x2x2x2 -1) -- si man, Many (2x2x2x2 -1) -- points high, :ranting: :girlwerewolf2xn: :crying: man.

Damned A1c has fallen precisely 0.1 points, :ranting:  :girlwerewolf2xn:   :crying: man.

Potassium is now 0.1 points low, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

CO2 and BUN are both on the high red line, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

These labs are more hosed than those Many (2+1) months ago, :ranting: man.

We consumed almost nothing with high or added sugars, no man.

We cannot cook protein-laden substances and are sick of vegetables, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

We don't know what else to do, no man.

Caucus with doc is Wednesday midday, verdict man.

Scroo our infernal pancreas, :ranting: man.

Bad malfunctioning T-B. pancreas!  Bad, BAD malfunctioning MALFUNCTIONING T-B. pancreas!

 

We have had worse days, si man, but this one certainly ranks in the top Many, sigh man.

 

No party with the rubias and we may apply to a monastery, monastic we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report and :ranting: we man.
