My phone rang this morning, it was work calling. I picked it up and simply said "I'm not coming in to work today, Jay!" There was a short pause before he replied "I'm not asking you to, just had a question...". I laughed, but I was serious ( Read more... )

Phone rang early today, 'Twas Kathryn asking for help. Bill and Tina have moved to their new place and got out everything but the (fucking huge) desk, and they need to turn over the keys in an hour. Bill's at work, Tina's useless, could i help? No clue how Bill and I got that desk in there, as it does not fit through the door. Took it apart to ( Read more... )

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I ended up working 7 days in a row. between the work time and the drama and the whatnot, I was wiped the fuck out, no surprise. Only have a little over a day off, and I'm back at it tomorrow. Still, it'll be a short week, what with Thanksgiving and all...and the extra hours last week will offset this short ( Read more... )

We finally got enough money stashed that we thought we could start looking for a place of our own. We searched online, got a few leads, checked them out, and found one we really liked. Just a little one bedroom place, 750 square feet, nothing special, but even closer to my work than I am now, and nice. With a fair amount of trepidation, we ( Read more... )

Went in on my original day off yesterday and picked up extra hours this week, covering for someone that had some military training to do.

Meanwhile, mo' hours = mo' money, ( Read more... )

New Year's was quiet. Between us not having people around here, us not drinking, and Jessica still sick/hurting, no surprise. We stayed in and abused Netflix's Instant Watch. Been catching up on a lot of classic TV and British comedy, lately: Hyperdrive, Black Books, Twilight Zone, Drawn Together, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, etc ( Read more... )

Today: new copy of broken movie made, 2nd call in to doctor made (and came up snake eyes, again), Xmas lights hung out side, trip to the store for more lights and diner stuff, returned/removed lights/rehung lights (and just got bright idea about how to handle the one place I couldn't, which means going out and rehanging a section AGAIN), and ( Read more... )

Whole house vacuumed and rugs shampooed. Tree set up. Who ever said the weekend was for relaxing?

I just don't seem to update here that often. Most of the time, this is due to not having much going on to talk about, which isn't a bad thing. Still, let's see if we can't have a bit of a chat, huh ( Read more... )
