Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man.

-----

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man:

 

Mini-B. confidently & calmly readied himself for first day of skool, up-growing wee man.

We dropped him off at a side entrance, smart man.

Front drive-up was backed up for half a mile, a lot of late kids man.

 

Uncle T-B. phoned us, communicative senior he man.

He had apparently told his best buddy about the Many.Many% CD, si man.

Buddy got really interested and wanted all details, $i man.

This apparently spurred Uncle T-B. toward a decision, miracle man.

Uncle T-B. indicates collection of his own accounts to close out in favor of the new CD, finally man.

We expect to get with him tomorrow, we shall see man.

 

We visited Aunt T-B. today, manageable trip man.

She wanted T-B. as backup to some personal info, top secret man.

Our lips are mum and words are sealed, sealed we man.

Lunch was a large 'roni 'za ordered by Aunt T-B. for delivery, ingest all of it we man.

We barely made it back to the casa before falling asleep, zzz we man.

 

Retrieved Mini-B. from skool, uneventful man.

Mini-B. happy with his teechurs, big improvement over last year man.

He showed off his Air Whatevers but kept haircut hoodied,  man.

 

Din-din was nuked pasta + Italian meatballs + meat sauce, ingest Two Guys man.

 

Mini-B. happily gamed with his nameless amigos for the rest of the eve, decompress wee man.

 

Cousin Mini-B. returned from a month in Ecu, return senior wee man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. brought over some bread from ex-her man's hometown, pretty good man.

She also brought over far too few Manichos, obviously hoarding some man.  

Mini-B. independently readied himself for bed, up-growing wee man.

 

We shall watch late TV news, minister to miu, and cavort with the rubias, si man.

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Day began inauspiciously, sigh man.

At half-past 2 a.m., miu's ear-splitting chattering indicate the dropping of a feather-roller, play with me Daddy man.

Half an hour before alarm rang, Uncle T-B. called, rambling about random stuff,  man.

We ignored this and told him to be ready by Many (2x2x2 +2) a.m. to hit the banks, resolute we man.

We told him to have his hearing-aid, ID card, and papers for 2 banks, instruct we senior he man.

 

Minutes after we dropped Mini-B. at skool, he called to ask for his notebook-satchel,  man.

We dropped it at skool's front office, grrrRRRRR man.

 

We managed to arrive at Uncle T-B.'s place by appointed time, somehow man.

His back door was closed but unlocked, enter we man.

He did not have his hearing-aid or the bank papers,  and   man.

We rooted through many piles of unopened mail to find the latter,  man.

We somehow convinced him to get out the door and into the T-B.-mobile, miracle man.

 

Neither bank recognized us as the world's POTS Business Typhoon, good reason to shun them man.

First bank worked hard to overcome its own red tape, an hour there man.

Second bank couldn't find either butt-cheek with both hands plus outside help, and >1 hour man.

   -- not enough staff, no man

   -- not enough capability, no man

   -- too much internal red tape, grrr man

   -- discussed within our earshot how to keep Uncle T-B. from closing his account, unbelievable man

   -- charged $Many ($2x2x2 +2) -- si man, $Many ($2x2x2 +2) -- for the cashier's check,  man

We were so steamed already that we didn't beef about the $Many and just wanted to leave forever, bye man.

Many'rd bank (Uncle T-B.'s chief bank) was very nicely accommodating, some relief man.

These Many (2+1) cashier's checks equaled the max FDIC-insurable total for a new CD, 2 persons man.

 

Uncle T-B. was visibly exhausted before the Many'rd bank, immobile senior he man.

We had to lift his legs in/out of the T-B.-mobile, couldn't get them in/out himself man.

It was also Many00 degrees outside, Texas weather Many man.

 

Many'th bank (CD place) was deep within an office building, long walk man.

Uncle T-B. had to stop on his walker and rest twice, exhausted senior he man.

 

Bank personnel extremely nice, si man.

Gave Uncle T-B. & us bottled water, highly necessary by then man.

Did everything very capably, si man.

Uncle T-B.'s concerns about "Internet banks" were relieved in the presence of real people, si man.

Upon leaving with his new $Many,000 CD, he took brochures to hand out to his lunch amigos, captive audience at independent-living place man.

 

No way could Uncle T-B. (or, honestly, we) could have made a Many'th stop, no man.

It was 2 p.m., and we opted for drive-through lunch from Taco Cabana, anything would do man.

Took it back to Uncle T-B.'s place and out-pigged, ingest we and senior he man.

We helped Uncle T-B. with a minor computer issue, help we senior he man.

Said "so long" after Many-&-a-half ([2+2]+half) hours on this questful saga, finally achieved man.

Uncle T-B. seemed grateful, and his worthless bank accounts are now profitably consolidated, goal man.

 

At the casa, we ministered to demanding miu, then showered, then siesta'd for >2 hours, zzz we man.

 

This was Mini-B.'s day with ex-Mrs.-T-B., skool retrieval of wee man by ex-she man man.

Din-din was 2 corn dogs, ingest we man.

 

Mini-B. returned in upbeat fashion, liked skool except for one irritating skoolmate in 2 classes man.

Wee man increasingly independent in grooming/hygiene, up-growing wee man.

 

We have itineraried Many (2+2) rather proximal ESs for Friday, itinerary we man.

 

Party with the rubias in process, cavort we man.

Friday ES report, see man:

 

We attended Many (2+1); the Many'th -- of course farthest to get to -- was phantom, grrrrRRRR man.

The second and Many'rd ESs yielded the take, see man:

 -- new (fancy) deodorant stick = $1, steal man

 -- mini-screwdriver set, bouncing "Superball" = $1, steal man

Total = $2

Thrilling Friday report, see man:

 

Dropped Mini-B. at skool, see below man.

 

Went ES-ing, see above man.

Lunch was at a Mexican restaurant near the phantom last ES, come upon it we man.

Food was decidedly average, ingest anyway we man.

Wasn't sweating too badly, so returned to casa for a siesta, zzz we man.

 

Asked Mini-B. about his day, retrieve we man wee man man.

Mini-B. said that a teechur or skool stapher tried to pull his hoodie off his head, unwanted man.

(We figured that this would happen, Mini-B. oversensitive about "bad" haircut man.)

Long story short, we investigated, sleuthful we man.

As expected, hoodies prohibited indoors, duh and  man.

We wrote the Assistunt Prinsipul about the unwanted touching, write we man.

Was written back to ask time of skool entry, estimate we man.

We expect that follow-up will be performed, confident we man.

And that's the end of the hoodie for Mini-B., made it very clear we man.

 

Din-din was nuked angusburgers, ingest Two Guys man.

Mini-B. didn't want a movie night, heresy anathema apostasy man.

 

Mini-B. handed us a pile of info/permission forms for his classes, complete & return we man.

And why can't these teechurs provide clear lists of desired skool supplies earlier, huh man?

We shall spend part of Saturday wrangling what isn't already here, fight the crowds man.

 

Looks like just one MS itineraried for Saturday, yawn man.

 

Party with the rubias imminent, cavort we man.

It is terrible. 

I hope you're starting to feel better. Covid just needs to go away, there's enough ick out there.

Saturday ES report, see man:

 

The MS was a joke, oh well man.

 

However, we found a proximal ES, see the take man:

  -- Office Despot composition book; leather-covered composition book; 2 NIP Oral-B toothbrushes; 

          NIP Many-pack ([2+2+1]-pack) Ticonderoga erasers; Many-pack ([2+2+1]-pack) heavy-duty 

          permanent markers = $Many ($2+2+1), steal man

Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

Mini-B. spent all day computer-gaming and V.R.-ing, obsessed wee man.

 

After the ES, where part of Mini-B.'s skool supplies were fortuitously found, went to Dollar General for the rest of the junk, seemingly complete man.

 

Lunch was (too much) BK* brought to the casa, ingest Two Guys man.

We shouldn't listen to Mini-B. when he wants both a Whopper and chicken fries, see below man.

     *bought WUOCs, financially savvy we man

 

Siesta'd nicely, zzz we man.

 

Labored intensely trying to organize Mini-B.'s skool stuff, no help from preoccupied wee man man.

Tried to fit it all into his carry-satchel, wouldn't fit man.

Enlisted Mini-B.'s help, irritated-from-game-interruption wee man man.

Books/binders would fit, but no room for tape/glue/markers/pencils, si and no man.

Mini-B.'s skool locker divorced from class locations, so backpack not an option, sigh and no man.

Called ex-Mrs.-T-B. to order a larger satchel, minimally cooperative ex-she man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. finally told us to do it, grrrrrrRRRRRRRR man.

Mini-B. then informed us that one teecher said that a Many-ring binder wasn't necessary,  man.

The stuff still wouldn't fit, no man.

Now we must balance visiting Mama T-B. with Many laundry loads and a trip to Office Despot,  man.

And why are we paying for skool shoes & supplies, what is Child Support for anyway man?

 

Amidst the above, Mini-B. had a crippling stomachache, apply medicine for that we man.

This hampered din-din, fortunately flexible options man.

Din-din was the Many (2x2x2) cheese/chicken taquitos from Costco, finish them Two Guys man.

 

After locating the Office Despot product, we decided to watch The Twilight Zone with popcorn, Mini-B. gastrically incapacitated man.

Medicine finally kicked in, brief relief for wee man man.

We consumed one Costco popcorn, and Mini-B. helped with 2 more, Many (2+1) ingested man.

This does not quite tally to Many (2x2x2 +2) for the week, minimal quota man.

However, P-math enables us to claim that Two Guys indeed consumed Many for the week, creative accounting we man.

Accordingly, our quota was met, si and glee and whee man.

 

Our blood pressure is probably Many/Many, estimate we man.

We must get Mini-B. into bed, bed we man wee man man.

We are too grumpy to party with the rubias... well, almost man.

Scintillating Sunday repartee, yawn man.

Dropped Mini-B. with Mama T-B., ecstatic senior she man.

Mama T-B. lectured us for nearly half an hour on various topics, sigh and  man.

 

We went straight to Costco to gas the thirsty T-B.-mobile, just in time man.

Gas price no different than regular stations,  man.

 

We went straight to Office Despot, look for skool case for Mini-B. we man.

We got the last one, and on slight discount man.

Also found 2 packs of bottled water for $Many ($2+2+2), must buy 2 man.

We bought 2, financially savvy we man.

 

Arrived at casa and managed to carry water in without tripping over interactive miu, whew man.

Tested Mini-B.'s skool supplies in new case, more than enough room man.   

 

We lunched on corn dogs, someone has to ingest them man.  

Conquered 2 of the Many (2+1) laundry loads, victorious we man.

Changed both beds,  man.

Had to head back to retrieve Mini-B., hasten we man.

Mama T-B. didn't let us go for another half-hour,  man.

 

Mini-B. somehow not in good spirits most of the afternoon, no man.

Didn't want to participate in a couple of our traditional activities, no man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. showed up a bit early, proximal errands by ex-she man.

Watched most of evening local news, watch we and ex-she man and wee man man.

Did not want to watch AFV rerun, sigh man.

Played mini-hoops instead, raucous game man.

Our living-room artwork barely survived, ouch man.

 

Mini-B. & ex-Mrs.-T-B. collected his stuff, voluminous amount of shoes/skool stuff man.

Mini-B. again not in finest spirits, don't know why not man.

Miu immediately queried Big Bruddah's absence, interactive/needy miu man.

 

Din-din was toucans of Chef B. mini-ravioli, ingest we man.

 

Dished the warsher, de-dish when finished man.
