Thrilling Wednesday-on-Thursday report, see belatedly man:

 

Got Mini-B. to skool at o'dark-Many, Band sectional man.

Dropped Mama T-B. at doctor, drop senior she man we man.

We finally camped in a white-striped area, out of the way man.

 

No word from Mama T-B. for half an hour extra, none man.

No word for an hour extra, none man.

Finally, we texted Mama T-B., who called us to say, "I'm ready, si man," si man.

 

We retrieved Mama T-B., finally man.

We asked why it had taken >2 hours and not just one as she'd said, inquire we man.

Mama T-B. yelled, "I said that it would take about an hour with each, you idiot man!"   man.

This was Many hours of our life that we can't get back and should have spent zzz-ing, si man.

 

Returned Mama T-B., then returned to casa, blown day man.

Treated and lunched miu, mollify miu man.

Tried to siesta, desperately need zzz we man.

Haha,

 

I have leopard tortoise and a sulcata. They need to stay above 80 at all times never below. But since both of these tortoises get big 50-75 for the leopard tortoise and 100+ for the sulcata. They cannot be indoor pets, so this way they can be out all summer and all winter. They can come and go into the house and get warmed up as they please. 

[Ontarkie 14,205]

Went to the doctors today. I've been having trouble swallowing food. I have to wash it down with water. It only took me 3 months to actually look in my mouth to see how big my tonsils are. Well now I have to go to the ENT to get them out.  

[Ontarkie 14,205]

I also thought I got into some poison Ivy well it turns out it is not poison Ivy and I have an antibiotic cream to use. Also had blood work to check for scarlet fever since I'm covered in a rash.

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

It rained like an illegitimate male child in the morning, How Dry We Aren't man.

Mini-B. got to skool amply early, amazing man.

 

We left in the rain to take Uncle T-B. to the doctor, we man chauffeur senior he man man.

Uncle T-B. was at his door and dressed, but expressed doubts, doubtful senior he man.

"I'm afraid I'll slip and fall, got that feeling, si man," said Uncle T-B. man.

We tried to convince him otherwise, but it was indeed pouring and muddy outside, truth man.

 

We finally relented, sigh man.  Doc's office was Many00% understanding, si man.

We took Uncle T-B.'s checks to deposit in bank, can do same in our sleep* we man.

     *with POTS** checks, $i man

Ya a little too big. The Hillbilly said is has been messing with my breathing while I sleep. I also use my inhaler more because I can't tell if it is my lungs of my throat causing difficulty. 

I think I will pass on this advice. 

It seems I do have everything under the sun. 

Not likely scarlet fever as I was cleared of strep. That is how I got it last time. So this rash is something else. A very itchy rash it is. So far the cream is working I think on my arm. I tried it on the rest of the spots now too. I might as well try to see if it helps them too. 

 

Definitely not pregnant. That ship has sailed.

Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

We had to arise at half-past Many (2+2+1) a.m. -- si man, half-past Many (2+2+1) a.m. -- anathema man.

We had to rouse Mini-B. shortly thereafter, resistant wee man to we man man.

Miu was excited, Human Person Who Serves Me Miu-Breakfast Up Before Dawn man.

The only bright spot was that we didn't have to rush, yeah yeah yeah big blinkin' deal man.

 

After dropping Mini-B., we returned to the casa for more caffeine, then hygiene, too early for latter man.

Excited miu demanded brushing, service demanding miu we man.

Shortly after Many (2x2x2) a.m., ex-Mrs.-T-B. came to chauffeur us to the concert site, see concert man.

The only bright spot was that we didn't have to rush, yeah yeah yeah big blinkin' deal man.

 

Right off, ex-Mrs.-T-B. said, "I have a problem, sigh man."

We said with an evil grin, "The Rojo, huh man?" si man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. said, "Siiiii, si man.  He won't leave me alone, no man," si man.

We said, "Doesn't he understand that you have to catch up with your business, huh man?" si man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. said, "He keeps wanting to spend time with me when I'm busy, si man," si man.

We said, "Well, duh, man -- you were away for a week, with him, and need to catch up, si man," si man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. said, "But he wants to spend more time with me now, si man," si man.

We said, "You're the one who wanted a Rojo, si man!" si man.

 

The concert was performed cleanly if not with much moxie, at least that's something man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. dropped us at our casa and returned to her casa, temporarily per below man.

When skool bus arrived back at skool, we retrieved Mini-B., we man retrieve wee man man.

We took him home to change clothes, si man.

 

In a few minutes, we took Mini-B. to meet ex-Mrs.-T-B. at Jersey Mike's, received coupons therefor we man.

None of us had ever been there, first experience man.

We gave ex-Mrs.-T-B. a coupon for half-off a giant sub, generous we man.

We had a coupon for "buy a regular sub, get one free," financially savvy we man.

 

The regular sub was half the length of a Subway sub, good grief man.

Even with coupons, the prices were far above those of Subway, good grief man.

 

We all ordered Philly Cheesesteak subs, with variations man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. wanted no onions or peppers, variation for ex-she man man.

Mini-B. wanted no onions, variation for wee man man.

We wanted double onions instead of peppers, variation for wee man man.

The servers brought them to our table, nice of them man.

 

We and Mini-B. found that our regular subs were exceptionally filling, ingest we man and wee man man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. could eat only half of her sub, ingest ex-she man man.

The taste was excellent, agree we and wee and ex-she man man.

We further agreed that maybe this wasn't such a rip-off after all (with coupons), agree we and wee and ex-she man man.

We said goodbye to ex-Mrs.-T-B. and returned to the casa with Mini-B., lunch over man.

 

It was now barely noon, felt like a full day already man.

Mini-B. began playing his computer games, addicted wee man.

We served demanding miu her treats and a very early lunch, off-schedule we and miu man man.

We then siesta'd for nearly 2 hours, zzz we man.

 

The rest of the day was spent lazily and groggily*, this is why early mornings suck man.

     *except for twice when miu wanted more treats and feather-roller play, excited miu man

 

We and Mini-B. were stuffed from lunch all day, that filling man.

Din-din was at nearly Many (2x2x2) p.m., had to do it man.

Din-din was Costco ham, Aldi tater tots, and pork & beans**, ingest Two Guys man.

     **the onecan from Friday's ES, financially savvy we man

Mini-B. high-Many'd us for the Many'th (2+2+1th) great Two Guys din-din this week, successful chef we man.

Participatory miu kept jumping on the din-din table to inspect and mooch, get off table miu man.

 

By bedtime, Mini-B. was so sleepy that he could barely shower, tired wee man man.

It has been a great Two Guys week, si man.

No party with the rubias again tonight, no cavort exhausted we man man.
