Overview

Ever have one of those days where you're just in a funky mood? That's where I'm at, have been all day, and no signs of shaking it off. For those of you who may be feeling the impact of this Nor'easter, stay warm and dry. We've been breezy so far with a few random guys blowing through. Not much rain yet. I think that's coming tonight. I'm off to make some burgers for dinner. Have a good night.

Groceries + extra munchies. ✅ Generator fuel. ✅ Propane for grill. ✅ All batteries charged. ✅ New book (in case ebooks fail or internet goes down) ✅ Quilt washed & fluffed. ✅ Think I am set! They even got reasonable and canceled both horse shows, so no guilt in hiding under my quilt till the storm passes!

Good for you! Have a great weekend, everyone

The internet is down at work. i am working from a remote location. It is Friday. i ducked out of a meeting that i feel is superfluous. i don't feel bad about it.

Thank you! Someone thought I had dyed my hair blonde. Sadly the grey has just turned to white 😢

Just wanted to let you know that I like your new profile picture. I think it makes you look very dapper! P,S. You only need 125,000 more points. Yikes!

It's not a recipe per se, but I saw a video of a quiche being made, but instead of pastry crust it used Yukon gold potatoes that had been steamed or baked, squeezed out of their skins and pressed into the pan as the "crust". I might try it this weekend

I will be a hundred or more to get to next level!

They were excellently behaved throughout the 5,000 km trip. Well, there was that moment in Kensington Palace Gardens when Greta saw her first squirrel….. 🐿️

So cute and innocent looking.

The creatures squeezed into car on journey back from France!

Back home for the autumn season…. Ha ha it’s soooo hot and humid. This am a nice letter fining me €49 for ‘speeding’ on a motorway in France where limits were changing every couple of minutes. Letter was in Spanish. This European cooperation is getting too much!

Good grief... I was on the phone with Floridas Motor Vehicle Department for 1 hour, 51 minutes, and 51 seconds. Of that...at least one hour was just on hold waiting for a human. However, issue is now resolved and it didn't cost me anything other than 2 hours of my life I will never back. Have a good day everyone!

For those into knights Templar, the da Vinci code, energy lines linking places, this is the place to be. It was also a starting point for pilgrims off to Santiago de Compostela. Frankly walking up the steep hill to get to it was a walk of shame as more elderly people than I were virtually trotting up the hill, and talking at the same time! I needed various stops to talk photos of blank walls whilst my breathing returned to normal. Not a fit boy.

I'm sitting here rather amused with myself and my pettiness. As you know, I have one incredible bitch of a sister-in-law who has verbally attacked my husband several times and me once. She's butt-hurt and hates me because I moved a picture of her daughter when I cleaned and didn't put it back front and center. Whatever. Now that the mother-in-law is in the nursing home, its been blissfully pleasant. We still have the hidden nanny cam and I have it set to send me motion alerts so I know whenever one of the judgemental Gavel Sisters has been here. They don't stay long...usually just to feed the cat and let the dog out (about the only nice thing they do). The bitchy one has been here twice this week and has taken stuff out of the house. As far as I can tell it's been books and clothes for her mom, although she did take the BP monitor that she bought. I've also noticed her straightening the pictures on the stand under the TV so that her precious little girl (who is now 30-something) remains front and center. So what does my petty ass do, you ask? I took the box of tissues and put it smack dab in front of that picture and made sure the pulled up tissues blocked as much of it as possible. 😄😄😄🤣🤣🤣

Hey, amazingly there were only 4 cars in front of us at the French border control at Channel tunnel entrance in UK. When we arrived in Uk we could see miles of stopped traffic on other side trying to get into the terminal. Phew 😅 Just had a delicious French dinner at our hotel. Substantially cheaper than what we have been paying in Uk. Last night a tiny glass of ordinary Chardonnay cost £18, 20-something in EUR or USD. How anyone except super rich can afford to live in central London is beyond me! Tomorrow a long journey to Vézelay in Burgundy for a three night stay and then back to Valencia to start my proofreading for the Anthology. hugs to all, gx

And that my friend is why your job is called WORK!

Indeed.

i give up

I talked to him a little bit ago and he said he could open everything just fine. I'm done trying to figure these people out lol I just got done programming keys for a transfer that was supposed to be tomorrow. It's for a church who rents apartments for their missionaries. They have two units at our property. The elder guy showed up this morning and of course our manager is in the corporate office this week and was supposed to have had everything done. Did she? No. Of course not. She tells me to do the lease and then goes and does it. Argh. Make up your mind you ADHD squirrel on speed! So I had to go program their key fobs while the elder dude went to get money orders for the security deposit. She didn't tell him we needed that either. Oh...and in the middle of all this I have tour come in and two separate residents locked themselves out. I can't even ask Jesus to take the wheel at this point. Gonna be one of those days lol.

Yes, he could print it but it doesnt mean he had the access to a pdf in order to sign it. It's different depending on his software.

He literally had to access the document in order to print it. He was there. In the document. It was open. I have no idea why he bailed and chose to print out 50 some-odd pages. He also missed a bunch of places that had to be initialed so he would have had to redo it anyways. Oy.

Reminds me of when I worked in travel and every time a certain coworker called anywhere that had an automated menu she would literally holler "AGENT AGENT AGENT AGENT AGENT" until the system finally transferred her or one of us yelled "Patti SHUT UP" Omg... Loved her to death but she was a square peg in a round hole. I don't blame you for hanging up. Try online. I was able to remove my son from our policy and didn't have to make a call.
