Hump Day

Hump Day - 03/13/13 12:51 AM

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
George Burns (1896 - 1996)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Landlord Letters

1. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared.

2. I want some repairs done to my stove as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

3. This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door.

4. The toilet seat is cracked: where do I stand?

5. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall.

6. I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.

7. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.

8. The person next door has a large erection in his back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.

9. Will you please send someone to mend our cracked sidewalk. Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant.

10. Our kitchen floor is very damp, we have two children and would like a third, so will you please send someone to do something about it.

11. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny color and not fit to drink.

12. Would you please send a man to repair my downspout. I am an old age pensioner and need it straight away.

13. Could you please send someone to fix our bath tap. My wife got her toe stuck in it and it is very uncomfortable for us.

14. I want to complain about the farmer across the road. Every morning at 5:30 his [blip] wakes me up, and it is getting too much.

15. When the workmen were here they put their tools in my wife's new drawers and made a mess. Please send men with clean tools to finish the job and keep my wife happy.

Cynic's Guide to Life

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a squeaking fan belt and a leaky tire.

I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. And a foundation leaks and a ball game gets rained out and a car rusts and...

Follow your dream. Unless it's the one where you're at work in your underwear during a fire drill.

Always take time to stop and smell the roses... and sooner or later you'll inhale a bee.

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

If you don't like my driving, don't call anyone. Just take another road. That's why the highway department made so many of them.

If a motorists cuts you off, just turn the other cheek. Nothings gets the message across like a good mooning.

When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself.

It's always darkest before the dawn. So if you're going to steal the neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

Each day I try to enjoy something from each of the four food groups: the bon bon group, the salty-snack group, the caffeine group, and the 'thing-in-the-tinfoil-in-the-back-of-the-fridge' group.

Just remember... You gotta break some eggs to make a real mess on the neighbor's car.

When you find yourself getting irritated with someone, try to remember that all men are brothers... and just give them a noogie or an Indian burn.

This morning I woke up to the unmistakable scent of pigs in a blanket. That's the price you pay for letting the relatives say over.

Love is like a roller coaster. If you like it, you don't want to get off, and when you don't... you can't wait to throw up.

Good morning everyboomie. wave

Getting ready for a 5:00 start in the morning and I'm already ready for bed. (Said in between dozing off, and dreaming of storming up and down the creek looking for points.) tired

One problem is that it takes an hour longer to get dark now. slapforehead

If you gotta get up at 3:30, it's best to (at 61) hit the crib at zero dark thirty. sleep

I gotta haircut today, which means there will be less hair between my head, and my pillow so I'm sure it will be less cracklely, or rustley, so it should be quieter, and easier to fall asleep. lol

Then again my head will be lighter, and have a harder time sinking down in my pillow. taz

Don't ask me what THAT means. crazy

Probably that I've been awake too long. lol

Have a happy day everyone.

lol Joe, I hope that the lack of hairs do not interfere with your ability to sleep. That is an ungodly hour to get up though. I could never force myself to go to sleep.
I hope your mom is doing better today. hearts

Have a happy day everyone!

Aw Joe. That's way too early to get up and go to work. Hi Ana kissy. I'm home from a very busy day and I'm gonna enjoy my one day off tomorrow. Might just go see Mom. Haven't decided yet. This was my day today: I worked for the Blisses from 8am to 11am, thenPT from 11:30 for an hour, then off to my new client from 2:30 to 4:30pm, then back to the Blisses from 5 to 8pm. Now I'm tired. Looking forward to having a choice about what tomorrow"s agenda will be. I might take Rob with me wif I go see my Mom.

See you on the flip side.

Skyman is sitting here with his paw on my arm patiently trying to stare me down so I'll go feed the monkeys. Nope, not going to do it til I drink some more coffee.

Tomorrow is son's b'day, so I will be planning dinner and checking ingredients so we can have a small celebration.

I will also be doing laundry.

And in between that, I'll be doing something. wave

Joe, I hope your mom is better today.

Re: Hump Day - 03/13/13 11:52 PM

Thanks L4L, Ana, & Lotus. wave

The real challenge starts now. Mom cannot drive anymore, and it's going to be challenging for us to work and ensure Mom gets to where she needs to go and to where she has to go, and to have someone with her all the time. yes

There is already talk of selling this place, and putting Mom in a nursing home, or assisted living. smirk

Re: Hump Day - 03/14/13 01:14 AM

Oh Joe, that's not good news at all. sad Can't you hire someone to care for your mom?

Yankee, I am so sorry you are still hurting. Are you sure something you are eating isn't causing this?

Nan, prayers for your friend.

Re: Hump Day - 03/14/13 01:47 AM

Oh Joe, that is so hard. Soot's mom can't drive anymore and it's a challenge to keep her from doing it. Does sis work?

Re: Hump Day - 03/14/13 04:50 AM

Joe glad mom came home today but sorry to hear the other news. HUGS!!

Ana glad you at least made it out with the dogs for awhile!!

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!! You all are so thoughtful. They did not send him to Duluth but he will be in the hospital for about three days. They found out that he has blood clots in the lungs so are now treating him for such!!

I think it is time here to find my pillow. Night everybody sleep well and pleasant dreams!!

Re: Hump Day - 03/14/13 06:23 AM

awww,joe ,sorry to hear that about your mom. Do you have a senior center that could link you to transportation facilities for medical stuff and outings ? sometimes the discharge section in the hospital can help with links. hugs to you,sweetie.

nan , glad your friend got a diagnosis and is being treated - prayers out for him.

sun was out here ,but it wasn't all that warm.

the excitement for this week was that the maintenance guy was digging a hole in front of my place to plant a tree ( to replace the one that fell in the storm ), and punched through the water main. rolleyes so we had no water for awhile...i had been gluing postcards so i ended up with glue gloves for an hour. melodee was most unhappy her bathroom sink was not producing lol

hope it's a quieter , more productive day tomorrow for me,lol

off to check my pillow ,see you all later !
