How Do You Feel Today? v4

[Sorus]

What you need is a good Mallory's session. Cures boredom without the need for revolution.

I prefer revolution.

I suppose wanting a "'52 convertible" is a bit outdated.

True, but one in good condition would probably be quite valuable, which seems to be all the lady in the song cares about.

At any rate, I'm going to stick with outer space, since it makes sense. (Even if it's probably not a good idea.)

We were halfway past Saturn when Bob decided to put the top down for a better view of the rings. The resulting legal kerfuffle saw the Tesla Cruiser convertible banned from Earth all the way to Proxima Centauri...

If nothing else, I was right about Tesla sending a convertible into space.

Well predicted Sorus.

Wow, Thursday already...where does the time go?

--A

[Skyweir]

ahhh ... Sorus is showing high levels of prescience *notes development with interest*

Yeah time flies

[Avatar]

Yeah, and this is the second time she's accurately predicted something that I know of.

Friday. Hooray. Finally. Pity time goes just as fast (if not faster) on weekends.

[Skyweir]

Wow!! I think its only obvious she is developing a new super power ..

*sits back and studies Sorus, note book and pen in hand*



You're ok with this Sor? Trust me something good will come of this



Yeah time is not discriminatory ... mmm .. or is it? When there's not much happening it drags .. when you're flat out it flies ... very intriguing

*takes out new notebook .. and makes notes*

[Skyweir]

ugh I'm aching all over .. I got that veggie plot dug over and planted 14 mature tomato plants and a few other things.

But the dirt is so hard - I have blisters on my blisters and I'm completely filthy - would love a relaxing bath but have looked high and low and cant find a plug ..

It did rain today but barely penetrated the surface let alone got any deeper - so I had to wheelbarrow water out to the plot and the front wheel was flat .. so just exhausting

I'll have to shower .. but I really want a bath to soak my aching muscles... apart from feeling completely and utterly knackered .. its good to have got this job done..

Oh well I'll have to wait till Sunday for a bath

Yet one more 1st world problem LOL

[Sorus]

Sounds like fulfilling work, though.


I hope my burgeoning mutant superpowers eventually allow me to predict the winning lottery numbers. It might help if I checked the winning lottery numbers. Also, I didn't buy a ticket. So much for that idea.

Y'all are a riot!

I am having a good day... we have piles of snow. It's amazing.
I did school with the kids. We got some stuff done.
My son made mashed potatoes, and when I told him we had a 2nd bag of potatoes, he was so excited that he made a second batch. (we don't cook potatoes that way often.)
I don't remember why I'm so excited today, but I am.

Avatar- coups beget coups, yo.

[Skyweir]

Are you homeschooling your tiddlywinks Linna?

I love mashed taters!! Of course he was excited - they're awesome!!

Take a tip from Av and mash them with greek yoghurt

Oh do you guys have greek yoghurt in the US??

HAHA .. I know EXACTLY what you mean!! I soooo want to win the lotto .. I've entered the past two lottos .. but didn't win a sausage!

I still want to win but dont want to HAVE to buy a ticket!!

Thats not as crazy as it sounds .. I'm in a syndicate group so hey .. still a possibility

Yeah it was satisfying doing all that work .. but still feeling exhausted ..

What do I feel today?

The weather's been great today 26C .. nice and mild .. so I was getting ready to leave where I'm working .. only to discover I'd made a fatal error .. I dont leave today - I leave tomorrow night

Its great cos I am with the best dogs ever .. and one of the two cats I'm caring for is super cuddly.. so that's nice .. and I can't imagine how .. but I seem to have lost one of the doggy bowls! So strange .. its presenting quite a frustration to me

[Sorus]

Probably fell into another dimension. Like where missing socks go. My cats are fond of ping-pong balls. My local hardware store sells them in 8-packs. I have bought 2 8-packs. We currently have zero ping-pong balls. I live in a teeny studio. There is nowhere for them to go except under the couch. They aren't under the couch. There is absolutely no rational explanation for their disappearance. Except cats smacking them right into a parallel dimension.

that is absolutely hilarious!!! And so very true .. there must a whole lot of shit in that parallel dimension!!

Well I found the dog bowl - two days I spent wondering where the hell that bowl might be .. only this morning to realise one was stacked inside the other!!

Yes I feel like a real bonafide goose

Today is another nice day - more storms on the way ..

I'm feeling pretty good today - even slept in (first really good sleep I've had in 12 days). No one was that happy about it You should have seen the look the horses gave me! Not the slightest bit impressed. Meh ... they are totally overfed anyway .. but they got their break just not at 6am when they were expecting it. I feel great! That sleep has done wonders for my mental capability LOL .... who knew??

So another big day today ... but hahahaha .. no more digging over clay for me baby!! Everything is picking up beautifully - these plants were pot bound, brown and dying .. now they are all alive and growing. I knocked up a trellis for the tomatoes to climb on and lift them off the ground ..

Happy days

Yes, we are homeschooling both kiddlings this year.
Next year, we are sending one of them - maybe even both! - to public school.
If both, that would be the first time I've had them both away all day!

Take a tip from Av and mash them with greek yoghurt

Oh do you guys have greek yoghurt in the US??

Mmmmm. Yes, we do & I looove its texture.
But... I know how things work in our fam... it would be plain yogurt, if anything!

hidden in plain sight... nuthin' I haven't done myself, and worse.
It's like when you're like "where are my glasses? where are my glasses?" and then - bam! - they were on top of your head the whole time!

GLAD you got good sleep!
Love the garden work descriptions... you're bringing the outdoors in to the Watch!

Sorus- ahh, the disappearing ping-pong balls. And I'm sure the cats are always very innocent-looking whilst they plot to open portals to another dimension the moment you leave the house...

Monday morning meh's really.

Mostly chill weekend, although I spent most of Saturday with a killer sinus headache or something. (Although admittedly only going to bed at 4am the "night" before probably didn't help.)

--A

[Skyweir]

The headache sounds no good ... glad .. hope .. youre feeling better.

Me ... home now .. a bit tired tbh .. but also feeling accomplished lol .. .. I got all four dogs bathed and groomed before I left .. that was hilarious as 3 of them were clearly allergic to bathing, or water or all of the above. Groomed and prissied up the horses, they looked sooo great. I plaited their tails and their manes well why not eh

I also harnessed them up and took them for a walk nearby ... I think they forgave me for being a little late for breaky.

Got all my other jobs done.. very satisfying. I miss them all now tho but its been great to see all my furkids again. The goats were so happy to see me which was lovely and the sheep and my horse came running up to welcome mum home .. nothing quite compares. And my better half welcomed me with a delicious and veggie filled cooked dinner .. that ones a real keeper

[Sorus]

That's quite a horde (herd?) of critters. I'm a little jealous. Love horses.

[Linna Heartbooger]

Aaah! I didn't know you loved horses, Sorus!
I spent my teen years being a horse-crazy girl, and although I seldom get my being-around-equines fix, (my own fault, somewhat) I've never lost the wonder.

I had a fat Shetland pony with quite a temper, and loved her to bits.
Could just sit watching her eat grass for 20 minutes on end.

How many horses have you got, skyweir?

I've had a good day... got more work done than I'm usually willing to.
Gave kiddo #1 a haircut.
I'm feeling way more content & mellow than usual.

Ah well, the GF's grandmother called it a day yesterday and died peacefully in hospital. No great shock really, we've been expecting it for a couple of weeks now.

Life...none of us gets out alive.
