Check In # 43 - Does it Really need a Name?

[Lord_Plecostomus]

I was perfectly sober when I made the soda.

Never ever do science while drunk Drunk Engineering is ok though!

why make a crazy soda that wouldnt taste good if you were sober? oh well.....
dad kicked a turn again. five mins after i checked in on him he starts hollering and blames me for not being there instantly. when he nfinally calms down enough for me to empty the peepot, he refuses to put his pants back on.... or let me help.... so i leave the room so he can shout at himself for five minutes (he is capable of pulling them up himself anyway) so he presses the lifeline.....
they must get some weird calls - but asking for help because he wont let me help him and doesnt want to diy in pulling his pants up must be a crazy call for them....

Good morning, gang!

Nothing much (so far) happening here today. Not much happened yesterday. We got some sprinkles, I saw an osprey fly over (big bloody bird ), and there were some odd lights on the other side of the valley at around 11:00 last night.

I have to go back to the specialist in the last week of the year. If he can see I'm losing or have lost the weight, they'll plan for some time 2014Q2. But I can't have lost 4-5 lbs, it'll have to be more than that, if not the whole 65.

But I find just thinking about NOT eating seems to be working so far. Greater efforts will be required, but it's a start, when I weigh myself next I'll let you know.

Good luck!

Man, I remember when Cracked was a humor magazine, second only to MAD. The online version is nothing like it.

I never saw the magazine but I check in on the website every day.

Answer me this: why not?

[Madeliaette]

wastage....would be my answer to that one. why use stuff if you know you wont like what you make?

every five minutes Dad is hollering... this is not going to be easy - ringing the restaurant for food in 30minutes.

[Lord_Plecostomus]

Who says I wasted it?

[emma glitch]

I'm not getting done what I need to get done, so maybe if I take a break and go grocery shopping, I'll get it done when I get back.

It's the best plan I have right now.

Good evening, everyone.

For a long weekend, this was pretty short.

you snuck in on me RJ - i had just posted that nobody else was here - and voila - you appeared!

And then I was gone again....

so i leave the room so he can shout at himself for five minutes (he is capable of pulling them up himself anyway) so he presses the lifeline.....

You're having a difficult day.

I never saw the magazine but I check in on the website every day.

I've never liked it much; maybe because it's so jarringly different from the book.

It's the best plan I have right now.

Sounds like a good one to me.

Hey all.

Regular Sunday here. Dad came over for lunch and to watch the football game. Our team won!!

Other than that, same old, same old. Did my weekly test and only got one wrong again.

Tomorrow's Monday all you who work!

[Madeliaette]

gm. glad it is my break day today - i want some time away from mr grump! for me, and i shall see if dad is or when i take in his and teeth... if he is i bet he has an infection, if he is it must be something new....

[RJDiogenes]

^^ I hope it's a better day than yesterday.

Good morning, everyone.

It is indeed Monday and time to go back to work. I'm going to arrange my time off for the rest of the year to console myself.

Happy Monday, all.

Not much happening today other than teaching and a few routine meetings. I already need a nap.

It was! Turned out it is BOGO week, and some of the stuff on my wait for BOGO list was available at the actual two for the price of one price, not a price inflated for the sale. And Trader Joe's has an elderflower cheese for its you'll never see it again but you will enjoy it this month special, and it made my mushroom pasta dinner amazing.

It's a VA hospital day, so later!

'mornin' all!

Still rather quiet here. My sister called last night. This month's ailment: memory loss. I told her to call her doctor as usual. And this is the same woman who said a few months back that she was capable to taking care of dad .
As for today, we have a guy coming out to (try) to fix our oven. It started the bad habit of smoking out the back when it reaches 200 degrees inside.

phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. finally sitting down with my beer! I have been on the go almost 12 hours non stop!
from coffee o clock, i was doing morning trash-birds-laundry-dad chores, then off on my break walk/shop/walk, then souping pa, then when i had 2 hrs of resting with 20-3-0 minutes checks on dad... the phone rang twice, my son appeared, the sill-dweller birds wanted feeding.....i didnt get much rest! then it was getting dad off to the dentist....got him home just over 30 mins ago, but it took a while to settle him in hi8s recliner and remove the gauze.....
now i can relaxxxxxxxxxxxx and enjoy my beer!
