ai did call the land lord this morning and she said that hey would put me on the list. When I got home the air was off but I thought that they didn't come inside due to the ADT sticker on the door. The a.c. ran good for a couple of hours but then the noise started again. ugh. I should have gone back to the hotel but it's to late now.

EVEN WORLDLY LIKES WATEMELON!!


NOT MUCH NEW HERE. TOOK A REST DAY AFTER I DID A FEW THINGS FOR THE SENIORS. TOO HUMID TO STAY OUTSIDE MUCH. IT WAS VERY "CLOSE" YESTERDAY AS MY GRAM USED TO SAY.
TODAY IS BILL PAYING AND RENTS....IMAGINE THEIR NERVE CHARGING ME MONEY TO STAY HERE!

SHOOT....THE DOORBELL...BRB

LAURA...I CAN SEE WHERE THERE IS NEVER A DULL MOMENT WITH THE BF. HOPE THE AUNT'S SCAN SHOWS EVERYTHING IS OK. IT WOULD BE SUCH A SHAME IF THERE IS A FRACTURE. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY DAY IS SOME KIND OF HOLIDAY BY THE E-MAIL I GET FROM FRIENDS!


HAPPY....I SAW THE WEATHER MAP LAST NIGHT AGAIN AND COULD SEE THE SOUTH IS IN TROUBLE WITH HEAT THIS WEEK! YIKES! EVEN SOUTHERN CALIF HAS HAD RECORD HIGHS. STAY COOL MY FRIEND AND LET US GIVE MANY THANKS FOR OUR A/C'S

CEEJAY....SAME GOES FOR YOU. HOPE THE HEAT DOESN'T BECOME TOO MUCH FOR YOU WHILE THE A/C IS ACTING UP. DID THE GUYS COME BACK?? STAY COOL TO!


ANNIE....I WANTED TO CRY & LAUGH AT THE DAD STORY. WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT HERE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. HOPE THE WEEK GOES BETTER FOR YOU ESPECIALLY WHILE WORKING TWO JOBS!!!!


MICHELLE...HUGS FOR YOUR BUSY WEEK. HOPE IT GOES OK AND YOU GET SOME TIME TO BREATHE


SHAD....I WAS THINKING OF YOU....I WATCHED PART OF A PROGRAM ON AN AUSTRALIAN PRISON AND ANOTHER ON THE EMPEROR PENGUINS AND HOW THEY ARE ADJUSTING TO CLIMATE CHANGES ON ONE OF THE POLES...I FORGET WHICH.....I DIDN'T SEE SANTA'S HOUSE SO MAYBE IT WAS THE SOUTH POLE

Good Morning on this Terrifice Tuesday.....

Well dad slept better last night, at least he stayed in bed. Must of scared him the night before. I served him canteloupe and watermelon about 8:30 and I think the natural sugars in the melon kept him from "dumping". So all and all it was a better night even tho I didn't get to sleep til about 11pm. Tonight is CVS (chocolate, vanilla & strawberry) that is my acronym for CVS. I am sure you all will appreciate that one.

Today is training...Shaddie you should be close to my heart as I WILL BE IN TRAINING today. Only a 2 hour class, but training.

Mellie...maybe you need to put the sign on your door from like 5 pm til 9 am. That might stop late and early ringers. I say MIGHT.

Ceejay...not a good time to be without AC. Call the landlord and tell them it is urgent you are having some kind of reaction to no air.

Laura...get you lazy, draggy arse up and moving,sista.

Chelle...don't forget to come up for air!

Hidee Ho Happy!!

Love and hugs

Mellie you slide right back in there before me....

BTW..breakfast of the champions...cottage cheese with fresh from the garden tomato, cucumber, jalapeno and banana pepper. Quite the YUM

Have a terrific Day!!

Mel that penquin sculpture is just AMAZING. DH and I oohed and ahhed this morning. I'm saving that pic.

Annie - I had to smile at the Dad story too. I can relate. Every night on the way home I have to stop at the corner where they just built a new CVS. I will never think of CVS the same way again - will always give me a hankering for Dairy Queen Good one!

It is beastly, nasty humid out there this morning. I went to the garage to get some cans of cat food and got an instant headache. At 6:30am it is hard to breathe. This is crazy already. I feel badly for the elderly and poor. We've have over a month of this heat- will need a second job to pay the utility bills.

Gotta get out of here early so I'll be back at lunch to chat with the rest of yahs.

Happy...big news....I have a second job, more like a third job....YIKES. Yes, come to eCVS for your chocolate, vanilla, strawberry dessert<----as in men., LOL

Good Morning, I guess. Raining a lot today, and after the flooding from 2 weekends ago, this is not welcome around here!

Michelle - Too early in the week to be beaten by it. Be good to yourself! Hope dh and mil can lift your load at home. :hugs:

Mel - I like that Worldly Watermelon.

Annie - Like Happy - I won't think of CVS the same way anymore, LOL.

Happy - Sorry you have a headache. For the first time in a while, my chest is feeling heavy, like the asthma is acting up. It's probably a combo of the humidity, and I suspect the water exercise class.

Ceejay - I suppose I could work with the noisy AC, as long as it kept cooling. But I hope they fix it soon. I bet in this heat that the list is long...

Hi Shad!

Did one BE workout last night. BF did the dog walking w/o me. Very sad news from an old friend of mine - her husband died suddenly on Sunday while they were visiting her father out of state. He was only 52 y.o. After the four of us not getting together for a couple years, we were finally making plans for later this month... bf and I are in shock.

Okay, I need to get hopping, and I need to phone my mom to learn if she got her new HVAC installed yesterday. She's getting the same weather as Ceejay & Happy!

TTFN!

Mel - I just notice your new avatar - that is just tooooo cute!!!!

Another job????? Annie wtf?

Can't hang about sorry. Gotta go to work. Try to get back later today.

I FIGURED I BETTER LOG ON AND POST FOR TOMORROW.....I HAVE SOME TIME TO PUT IN THE OFFICE TOMORROW. I'M GOING TO TRADER JOES ON THURSDAY MORNING SO I WON'T HAVE TIME THEN AND I AM NOT A FAN OF OFFICE WORK ON FRIDAYS. NICE TO BE ABLE TO PICK AND CHOOSE MY DAYS HUH?? THE JOYS OF BEING UNEMPLOYED.

ANYWAY.....NOT MUCH HAPPENED HERE TODAY . I JUST DID LITTLE JOBS THAT NEEDED TAKING CARE OF AND HELPED A FEW "DOOR KNOCKERS" IN BETWEEN. I NEED TO CLEAR OUT THE FRIDGE AND MAKE ROOM FOR THURSDAY'S SHOPPING. MAYBE TONITE.
HAVE A GOOD DAY TOMORROW.....SHADDIE'S ALREADY ON THE RUN!!


ANNIE....3 JOBS AND ONE GIVES DESSERT!!.
MAYBE THE NIGHT JOB IS BETTER THAN THE DAY JOB. GLAD DAD HAD A BETTER NIGHT. LIKED YOUR IDEA OF BREAKFAST BUT CAN'T TAKE ALL THE "HEAT" YOU ADD TO IT YIKES!!


HAPPY....I LOVED THE PENGUIN PUMPKIN CARVING TOO. I FOUND LOTS OF STUFF WHEN I GOOGLED WATERMELON...INCLUDING RACIST STUFF WHEN YOU GOOGLE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GNNA GET! DAIRY QUEEN IS NOT ON THE WW LIST DON'T BE THINKING CVS!! THINK Contraceptives, Viagra & Sex!!! ( I REALLY HAD ANOTHER 4-LETTER WORD FOR C BUT 3FC WOULDN'T FIND IT FUNNY )


LAURA....I AM SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR FRIEND'S HUSBAND. WTF HE WAS SO YOUNG. VERY SAD SENDING OUT GOOD THOUGHTS TO ALL OF YOU. SHE MUST BE IN SHOCK TOO I IMAGINE. TERRIBLE.
I LOVE THE AVATAR TOO...I FOUND LOTS OF CUTE ONES.


SHAD.... WAVING HELLO AND GOODBYE HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Laura - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend losing her husband at such a young age.

Annie - 3 jobs now?? WTF?

Ceejay - I hope the landlord gets the a/c working properly for you. How is it being back at work?

Mel - I love the penguin watermelon. My DH liked it too. I'm saving that pic.

Shad - I can't keep up with you....but according to FB, it sounds like you're out of town back in the bush again.

Happy - That sucks that you're having so much heat down there. I guess I won't complain about our heat indexes that are in the mid 90s.

Back to work for me. Today is going to be a long day since I can't work late tomorrow or Friday...I have to put in extra time today.

Evening all,

Thought I had better get some down in here tonight. Yes I am going out bush again. This will be the last time. I have about 4 weeks left in this contract and will have to start looking for more work very soon. Wish I could afford to retire but there you go, I can't

So Annie - what is the third job? Looking after Dad??? How do you keep on keeping on? Happy training. I hope you get a good trainer - one that doesn't bewilder with the bullsh*t or bedazzle with brilliance.

Mel - enjoy the shopping. Be nice to just do something for yourself for a change.

Laura - so sorry to hear about your friend. Poor man. Rather poor wife. My dad went suddenly like that. I suppose it is a quick way out for them, but it is a helluva shock for those left behind.

Ceejay - glad to hear that you are nice and cool again. Sweat is okay, but when you have to try and sleep in it, it's the pits.

Happy - Coming out into the bush with me are you? Well the stars are great and apart from the odd snake, there isn't much that bites (apart from the trainer that is) Hope the bartender can make it as well although most booze is not allowed.

Michelle - glad to see you do come up for air once in a while. Hope all those reports are behaving for you.

Right well I better go finish packing, have a drink and go to bed. I have a cab coming for me at 4.45am. I guess bedtime is getting fairly close or I will never wake up in the morning.

I'll be on line when I can. Can't promise much.

Happy Hump Day Morning there chicks,

Was supposed to go to a photography club meeting yesterday but they had another event at the Botanic Gardens and there was no parking so instead DH and I drove around and admired some of the nearby homes. Memphis does have some lovely architecture. Ok, so I said something nice about this place for a change Had dinner at Steak and Shake. I was horrified yes HORRIFIED when I got home and calculated the ww points/calories. What a calorie bomb and I didn't even have a milkshake. Talked to my sister for a while last night and then I went for a late night swim. The water temp hit 90 degrees. Could not do any sprints - the water was just too warm. We have another day of 100 plus weather with heat indexes over 120 degrees. Feel like I am in Shad's land. We had a quick pop up storm yesterday afternoon - was watching from work - big lightning, high winds. It calmed down by the time I left. That was my day.

Shad - good travels in the bush there. Hope you can make the best of primative conditions and get your training done. Wish I could come along with you.

Michelle - keep your chin up - don't drive sleepy and I hope you get your work all done. I hear it's hot up your way also.

Mel - the great thing about being our age - NO CONTRACEPTIVES - Hope you have a quiet day today. Is Willy back to help you with the shopping tomorrow? Get some good stuff.

Laura - so sorry to hear of your friend's husband. And the fact that you were planning on seeing each other makes it all the more shocking. I take this blips as life's lessons to make the most of every day. How very sad for your friend tho. Hope your Mom is nice and cool.

Are you back at work Ceejay? How did it go?

Annie - I hope you get some rest from "the third job". You had better take some Annie time or we're going to find you spralled over the CVS counter and silly customers will be stacking their purchases all over your passed out body Seriously girl you are burning the candle at all ends and in the middle too!

I'm way behind better get out of this house. Stay cool and we'll see yah later.

Wowser Wildly Wicked Wednesday to you All......

No no no, not 3 jobs, unless of course you count my dad??? I was repling to someone's having to get a 2nd job for some reason or another, and I was just saying it would be 3rd job for me. lol Sheeet, I would never get to sleep if I did that, not that I sleep much anyway.

Today's high is 95-100 with the same humidity and mug. Heat index 115 or more. It was 81 degrees when I got up at 4 this morning. Hella was crying to go out and get a drink of water...I tell you if it isn't my dad, it is the dog. lol

Put the car in the shop today and got the rental. A Chevy Avero, what a cheap little car. No cruise, no automatic locks, weird for me. But for 23 bucks a day, what could I expect a cadilac??

Gave blood the other day. Iron was actually high enough to give. Funny but I was very excited about that. Got a free t-shirt too! May be old news, heck I can't remember if I am coming or going.

Made some awesome chicken salad with celery, onion, garlic powder, grapes, boiled egg, lt. mayo, salt, pepper, wanted to put nuts in it but didn't have any on hand. Brought it to work yesterday with little flat breads and shared with the office. Everyone was delighted. Think I am having Jimmy John's veggie lettuce wrap with avocado for lunch today, YUM.

Shad...maybe you should fly over here and do our training, if nothing else you and I could certainly entertain the troops. haha. Actually the trainer was pretty good. Since there were just few of us, what should of taken 2 hours, got done in about an hour which was pleasing to me.

Chelle..ok, why are you off Thursday & Friday? I might of missed the why's of it or simply forget. I think I need to take some memory herbs. Any suggestions?

Mellie...Friday's are great for taking off. Don't forget to put your sign on your door!!! Have fun at Trader Joe's. I just never seem to make it there and it could be right on my way home if I changed my course slightly.

Laura...sorry to hear about your friend. Just seems like the older I get the more die....must be the age thing. Ya think? I mean, I am only 29..wink wink.

Happy...hope the headache is much better today. Headaches are just so annoying. I think mine have been caused by this dang heat and humidity.

I think that about covers it. Have a Wonderfully WILD Wednesday....

Hello to all.

Love and hugs,
