Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

21 hours ago, TBoneTX said:

We have itineraried Many (2+2) very proximal GSs and an ES, itinerary we man.

We did not leave the casa at all, no and see below man.

 

We were at our lowest body-weight in quite a long time,  we man.

We unenthusiastically did our a.m. caffeine, ingest we man.

The weather was cloudy, breezy, and not too humid, si, si, and no man.

We decided to mow the full lawn, needful after probably a month even with no rain man.

We figured that we would go GS-ing after finishing and up-cleaning, reason we man.

 

Breakfast was one turkey-&-cheese sandwich, ingest we man.

 

We mowed and off-blew the debris from front pavement with use of our corded blower, blow we man.

Smaller battery blower for back pavement wasn't charged, sat too long unused man.

We went inside to off-cool and wait for it to charge, si man.

 

Half an hour later, we went outside, si man.

We were startled to see that it had rained, very silent man.

We could not off-blow wet grass from back pavement, reasoned we man.

Shortly, it began to monsoon like an illegitimate male child, build an Ark man.

 

It monsooned on & off (mostly on) all day, rainout man.

We concluded that the GSs would be halted and the ES wasn't worth venturing out for, reason we man.

We therefore stayed in the casa all day, wonderful Saturday man.

 

A siesta was taken, marginally restorative man.

Din-din was onecan of Aldi chili and dessert was onecan of bean-with-bacon soup*, ingest we man.

     *bought from a supermarket dented/clearance bin, financially savvy we man

 

Rant, see man:

We hate Standard Time with a passion, si and grrrr and  man.

It serves no modern purpose except to cut kids' outdoor playing time, gets dark too early man.

It's a pain in the culo to change all the clocks, never get that wasted time back ever again man.

We changed all Many (2+2+1) clocks upstairs,  we man.

We changed all Many (2+2+2+1) clocks downstairs,  we man.

We must change the T-B.-mobile clock tomorrow,  we man.

There's never been a prayer of changing the oven clock, who ever knows how that's done man.

        , rant we man.

 

On Sunday, we must help Uncle T-B. change batteries in his scooter, help we man senior he man man.

We must then help Mama T-B. change her kitchen clock and also get lectured,  man.

We must then conquer our LL and prep for Two Guys week, si man.

 

The envisioned menu for Two Guys week is as follows, see man:

Mon. = Costco bacon + scalloped potatoes**, probably ingest Two Guys man.

                **bought on sale at Costco, financially savvy we man

Tues. = Birdseye garlic chicken + vegetables**, probably ingest Two Guys man.

                **bought on sale at Costco, financially savvy we man

Wed. = Aldi lasagna, probably ingest Two Guys man.

Fri.    = Costco angusburgers, probably ingest Two Guys man.

Sat.   = Yakitori chicken & rice**, probably ingest Two Guys man.

                **bought on sale at Costco, financially savvy we man

Thursday is non-Two Guys eve,  man.

If Mini-B. has another Band obligation, one menu item will be scratched, they feed him there man.

 

Some idiot has been setting off firecrackers in the 'hood for several hours,  man.

We have no idea what he's celebrating... aha man -- Columbus Day in Poland, oj tak!   

 

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

Lunch was a "Velveeta Cheesy Bowl lasagna"* lunch-sized portion, ingest we man.

Miu has refused every Fancy Feast Petite Portions chicken-&-rice serving because this batch is apparently a little different from before and miu thinks it's new miu-food to be snubbed,  and  and  man.

 

Outwaited monsoon before visiting Uncle T-B. & Mama T-B., patient we man.

Uncle T-B. on a downer, complain senior he man to we man man.

We changed 2 clocks and didn't outwardly object to lectures, si and no man.

 

A siesta was attempted and largely achieved, zzz we man.

 

LL conquered but with not quite enough dryer time, hate that we man.  

Mini-B. & ex-Mrs.-T-B. showed up quite early, jolt to our schedule man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had bought Mini-B. a football and new basketball shoes, expend ex-she man man.

She did not try to dun us for half, about time man.

 

Outside breeze had dried the beautifully mown lawn sufficiently for play, discover Mini-B. man.

Threw new football for a while, completely hose body ow ow OW we man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. and Mini-B. then briefly basketballed, basketball they man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. could not stay to watch AFV because the Rojo is having a colonoscopy on Monday, up his man.

We extended advance sympathies to the Rojo's culo and small intestine via text, extend we man.

This it was, productive we man man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had brought din-din for Mini-B., sometimes does this ex-she man man.

It was a strange concoction of cucumber, 2 forms of carrots, onions, chicken, rice, and an unidentified spice, blessedly not cilantro man.

Mini-B. had had this for lunch and requested canned S&Ms instead, accommodate we man wee man man.

We had to dish the warsher, so we consumed this weird casserole (?), ingest we man.

Hours later, we still can't fathom what its purpose was or is, bewildered we man.

 

Uncle T-B.'s latest Fizzicle Therapist then called, wanting a.m. caucus with Uncle T-B. she man.

 

The warsher was then dished and has been de-dished, domestic we man.

 

Although nothing was overtly amiss, we have felt discombobulated all day, must recombobulate ourself we man man.

 

Nothing but irritating administrative stuff mostly for Uncle T-B. itineraried for Monday, handle we man.

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

Scintillating Monday repartee, yawn man.

Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

Lunch was 2 turkey-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man.

Went to Aldi thereafter to buy cheese that we'd forgotten to buy on last visit,  we man.

 

Otherwise-wonderful siesta was halved by Uncle T-B.'s call with opening line, "Did I wake you up, huh man?" sigh man.

 

Mini-B. was irked after Many'th-period teechur called him a "Many'th- ([2+2+1th]-) grader for his behavior, irate wee man man.

 

Mini-B. attempted Non-P-Math hoamwurk but couldn't do any, no man.

"Smartest" kid in his class plus smart amigo are equally lost, write Non-P-Math teechur we man man.

The fundamental problem is that the material does not pertain to P-Math, oj nie!   

 

Din-din was Aldi beef lasagna, watery but exceptionally tasty and ingest Two Guys man.

 

Movie night was what turned out to be the final 2 Everybody Hates Chris episodes, what the bleep man.

First episode of The Andy Griffith Show was then watched, hope Mini-B. goes for it man.

Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

 

The corrected Band schedule for Fri-Sat was published,       man.

We can kiss those days goodbye, all-consuming man.

 

Loud thunderstorms/monsooning predicted for overnight and most of Election Day, lose sleep man.

Then stay up for election results, tension man.

How's Miu with the ridiculous time change?  I know I was awoken by a Siamese cat at the "new" time of 5:00am, trying to tell me it was breakfast time.  She will storm your head and bite your nose if you attempt to ignore her, too.  If you try to lock her out of the room, she hollers at the top of her lungs so the entire street can hear her.  

 

Alas, having grown up in Canadia in a province where the time remains unchanged, I can say with certainty that I despise standard time, too!

Having moved north some and to someplace that is not roughly the eastern edge of its time zone if they drew straight lines, have you considered that perhaps sunrise well after 7 am that would get to after 8 in year-round DST would in fact be kind of bad?

 

/though the switch about 15 years ago to make the time changes in November and March instead of October and April in fact makes this worse as it doesn't happen soon enough and then happens too soon.

Miu has remained unfazed, observe we mam ma'am.

Our initial miu #1 was a critter of major habit, everything down to the minute man.

Miu #2 was mostly a critter of habit, general blocks of time for each event to occur man.

Current miu is all over the map with demands and needs,  man.

Beyond the P-math transgressions, our head hurts after reading the above, ow DA man.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

Got Mini-B. to skool barely on time consequent to monsooning, bad traffic man.

Funeral to attend on Wednesday, be present we man.

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

[yuna628 9,676]

Dad once again in the hospital (at least this time I made him go without too much protest). You see while I was away apparently a bottle fell on his foot while in the shower. And as evidenced by his last injury, blood thinners and bruises don't mix. His foot swelled up ridiculously. Still his HHN said it was fine. I beg to differ, but whatever. His doctor was supposed to follow up but cancelled the appointment. HHN comes in the other day and now says foot is not fine. Oh really? No kidding! Demands he go to urgent care. Bless her, she's not the brightest bulb, because I know urgent is not going to do a thing for this. He needs an IV and longer care. So I make the decision to send him to the ER. And they are like holy wow, why wasn't this man seen before? So I explain well actually he has a HHN that said he was fine and his doctor bailed on him....

 

A few hours later HHN is blowing up the phone yelling about why I didn't inform her of my father's whereabouts. Then the doctor is blowing up the phone wanting to know why he didn't follow up if the foot was bothering him. Dude... you cancelled his appointment! 🙄

Uncle T-B.'s health personnel are one step below this, si and sigh Y ma'am.

Either they don't show up, or there's a new "permanent" one every week,  man.

We hope that Papa Y remains in as few pieces as possible, si Y ma'am.

We attended funeral of cousinette's husband, deceased he man.

Service was very nice, classy man.

We visited Papa T-B. in the cemetery, very proximal man.

 

Cousinette lost everything in the fire, including wardrobe, sigh man.

Din-din was Tuna Glop, ingest we man.

 

Had productive interactions with 2 of Mini-B.'s teechurs, mutual concern man.

We wish that we'd had his Non-P-Math teechur when we were Mini-B.'s age, wish we man.

On Thursday, must arise at o'dark-Many to get Mini-B. to Band sectional,  man.

Then must pick up supermarket item for Mama T-B., obligated we man.

Well, the solstice is a few days before Christmas so that, erm, wouldn't make much sense ... Anyway, the point was that no DST or year-round DST might be fine in Texas or Florida or Southern California where day length is less variable, but farther north, not so much.

 

Trick-or-treating in a subdivision full of houses with kids instead of around multi-family housing where there were only a handful is very different. Way more kids out. Though our bowl of candy (from two large bags, because we didn't know what to expect) didn't get hit too much; we're in a cul-de-sac at the back end of the development, and our street is mostly people who moved in ten years ago when the houses were new, so their kids are older.

 

Not sure if just being older or strong desire for more candy kept mini-Dave out longer this year. But he was out from basically as soon as we were ready to go (a bit after nominal start time because PRG works Pacific time hours, though she did get off early) until pretty nearly the nominal end time, and a few houses were out of candy by the time we got there.

 

Took a mini-trip most of the way to Charlotte last weekend. PRG needed some rest, si, ma'am.

 

Went to aquarium, then spent night at a Great Wolf Lodge (stayed there for $many, but cheaper than 3 non-local day passes and a cheap hotel, and I think over two hours away is too far for a day trip) so mini-Dave got to play in the water for a bit. Only got him on big family-sized tube ride once (hey, he beat the minimum height by half an inch), said it was too scary and never wanted to do that again. But he still had a lot of fun.
