Some rotten little beast scooted out of the bathroom and across the kitchen floor. My number one suspect is Kiera.

You dare to do "The Litterbox" at me?!?

Poor thing. I cleaned it up, but I'll mop the kitchen floor more thoroughly tonight. Oh. Wait. My sweetie threw away the old mop head. I can't remember if she got a new one.

Sleepless

Variable weather is variable. I've woken to sub-zero temperatures two days in a row. Time to start getting up a little earlier to scrape ice off the windshield :/ It made me late for work.

Erratic
I've been making an effort to go to bed earlier (mainly prompted by my sweetie's vehement insistence). Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to ( Read more... )

We were scheduled to have the septic tank inspected, but because it was a sub-contractor, they never managed to get in touch with me to reschedule. I ended up telecommuting most of the day for no reason. :(

What Happened to My Winter Weather?!?
Why bother replacing the furnace when I need the air conditioner ?!?! It was freezing the other day, ( Read more... )

Darn it. I seem to have acquired some sort of throat glop from either the change in weather or exposure to allergens. My nose is not running, but I find myself occasionally making some sort of horrible Gollum-esque choking noise. At least my throat isn't actually sore. I'll spare you further details, but suffice it to say I am not pleased about ( Read more... )

We had a tornado warning in our area yesterday. It was enough to call for folks downtown to shelter in place, and just small enough of a coverage area to exclude my office building. As a result, my co-workers and I abandoned the daily perimeter patrol. I made up for it by cycling for a half-hour while I waited for dinner to bake ( Read more... )

The mower battery still has not arrived and the shop hasn't called to let me know whether the gasoline mower is ready. I'm gonna get annoyed if I am unable to get the lawn mowed during the extended weekend. However, regardless of whether I have a working mower, I might not feel up to the job. The last couple of evenings have been marred by some ( Read more... )

Still no love with regard to the ongoing lawn mower issues. ealdthryth ordered a new battery and charger, so hopefully, I can start making some headway 24 hours after they arrive. I decided that I needed to get something done so I started weeding around the birch and spreading out the pine straw that I bought a couple of weeks ago. After 12 bales, I ( Read more... )

OK, the sinus issues have been organized to the point they are on a schedule, and sans medication. I can breathe for approximately two hours at a time. I haven't shaken off the crud, but at least it is being slightly accommodating. The exchange is a slight headache that doesn't seem to want to budge, but breathing is a start.

Happy Fu
Josie is ( Read more... )

Last week involved a lot of telecommuting. Something in the air sent my sinuses for a real loop, and it tried to lodge in my chest. It was doubly annoying because we had planned to go to Crown Tournament as of two days before the sinus crud showed up for a Visitation and triply annoying because I had been asked to do part of the Court ceremony. ealdthryth ( Read more... )

I could have sworn we all were supposed to have sinus issues when pollen was in the air. Apparently, a solid rainstorm and perhaps paint fumes are what it takes for my sinuses to go berserk. I nearly stayed home from work yesterday thanks to a sore throat that refused to go way no matter what I tried to throw at it. Today, it is perpetual ( Read more... )
