'Morning all...
Fourth Quarter of 2017 has begun.
How exactly did that happen so quickly?
Today is also move out day for the Pirate Princess. She is going a couple of miles away to share a house with some fellow grad students. She really can't afford it but she is a grown up and will have to deal with it. The best news is THE MUTT I DID NOT WANT IS GOING WITH HER!
There's a lot of wins in that post.
They may well be temporary ones, but wins none the less.
Yup. Just had the "I'm all grown up, so treat me like an adult" chat with my oldest.
Okay.
But it won't be cheap.
You want total freedom…
Or access to Dad’s wallet?
Your choice, kid.
Don't need to watch the Patriots.
That was my job.
I was surprisingly pleased with the outcome.
It was an unusually good weekend for ball games in my house this time around.
(well, excluding the Phins, but that’s been happening so long now we’ve become fairly numb.)
They had an opening and talked her into moving in. Doubt it was a long talk.
Hasn’t shifted to thinking with her wallet rather than her heart as of yet, I take it.
I need to talk DD into making more friends.
Be careful what you wish for. She can make more friends that encourage her to mooch off you.
Work day done. Did my usual programs and website posting. The church decided to do a block party, but I guess decided not to have any volunteers for set-up. So, there was one woman older than me, who was the sole volunteer, hauling out tables. So, I went and did the set-up work for them. That isn't my area and clearly, the other employee responsible dropped the ball. However, they weren't going to face the consequence, and I couldn't let this poor woman lug it all herself. It seems like the same crap happens everywhere.
That stuff only goes on in the places where you encounter other humans.
Figure out how to get rid of them, and you’ll be better off.
At least you were there to be the outlier and actually do the right thing.
I had a busy weekend helping a friend move. I promised to give him my Saturday, which I did and moved all the heavy stuff like couches and dressers. But he didn't have it planned very well and had a lot of little things left all around the house. I ended up going back to help today against my better judgement. Without my help he was kind of screwed (had to be out today). But at the same time I felt I had done my duty Saturday. DW was not impressed I spent all weekend away from home. Neither was I, really. Oh well, it's done now.
Look at it this way: you have friends to do for.
I don’t really have any these days.
Of course, this seems to have worked better for him then you this time ‘round, so I’m not entirely certain which of us in in the better situation here.
Yep it's getting down to those temps at night here too. Nice sunny afternoon here though, could manage to wear a t-shirt outdoors. Well, for us Canadians it was t-shirt weather. Our friends in the south may have needed touques and parkas if they had the same temps
Yep it got down into the 40’s here (that’s around 9 for y’all).
It was sooooo cold that…
I didn’t roll up my sleeves until I got to work.
The coats will be lonely in the closet for a while yet.
(for DW the story isn’t quite the same, but that’s a different discussion)
It's 2:53 am, do you know where your children are?
180 miles to the northwest.
And still living off my dime.
Hopefully Mr. Sandman will show up in about an hour.
Do hope you finally got a bit of shuteye though.
Morning folks.
Work.
That is all.
And that’s more than enough.
I’m already in need of some more time out’a here.
