Have a great day, tim, now that the weather is behaving nicely. 😊

It wasn't a bad day weather wise.  Got kinda warm at 5pm.. It's a little cooler now. We didn't put the air on today, but the fans are working hard.  Let's hope continues to behave for a little while longer.

Yes.  And most of Boston passed a "bars open until 3am" rule just for the summer.

The other morning my husband saw a coyote on the next street over from ours. So, we've been going outside with our little 17 year old, mostly blind and deaf little Camden. 

 

Get a Roadrunner the coyote will keep f-ing himself up trying to catch it and will ignore your dog (seriously good luck we have the same problem where I live)

Scots vs Bostonians....I may need to take a drive. That's gotta be worth the price of admission. Good luck Scotties, those Boston boys can drink like fish.

Idk lol. He did say 

"We’re one wave of Scots away from running out of half our beers"

He's pulled out 25 empty kegs tonight, normal Saturday night with a Sox game is like 8

If there was a zombie apocalypse, Boston would fall quickly as the priority would be drinking all the beer. Everyone would be too wasted to escape the zombies. Then there would be drunk zombies everywhere. Nows there's a visual 🤣🍻

What on earth is an empty leg?

Wait, is he a barkeep? Did you mean empty keg?    

I gotta stop reading this stuff before I am fully caffinated!

I took it as terminology unknown to me, but now that you mention it, “keg” sounds about right. Then again, maybe it is terminology unknown…

This seems to have been forgotten by, oh, EVERYONE!  

 

It's very breezy and i'd say cold. We needed blankets on the bed last night and today i have socks on and clothes. LOL   Have a good Monday.

Happy Wednesday.

I was all happy because I thought I had Friday off for that Juneteenth holiday. Lo and behold I am working. ☹️ But at least I get to leave 2 hours early. Its been quite the week and we're only halfway through. 

Hope everyone is having a decent week, if not, feel free to join me in powering through!

This reminded me. It's trash day...

I'd be in trouble if I forgot to take out the cans, so thanks, tim!

Happy Wednesday to you, too.

Well, England are leading, incredible, Texan pubs running dry, predictable. I’ve gone to bed… yawn.

Insurance is going to give me an aneurism!

Their latest? When they fixed their billing screw up last month, they decided the best way to do so was to wipe us from their computer and start from scratch. So.....of course the various bills from May were denied as " you are brand new customers,  coverage effective 6/1".

 

Ok, so I have no coverage before 6/1? I expect a full refund of all premiums.

Now, now. We can fix this she says. 3 transfers and about an hour later I am told it's a coordination of benefits issue, transfer to the right department this time.

They actually transferred to the HR department of the company hubby retired from. 

She starts the convo by saying "First off, let me extend my condolences on the passing of your husband"

The idiots at the health care company sent me to the "report a death" number. Yes, HR has a dedicated extention for that.

Happy Thursday...i get to go to the dentist.   Dental office called!  My dentist is very sick and won't be in today...i get to go next week at 11:20am  on Wednesday. 

@Gary L England won, it was a pretty good game.  I enjoyed the Portugal- DR Congo game ... Portugal didn't enjoy it so much because they drew with DR Congo...as evidenced by their behaviour near the end. I'm not a fan of Ronaldo, time for him to retire (without a World Cup win). 

In any case, time for me to get a move on. Don't want to be late. (yes, yes i really do..lol) 

So, the dog is here for part of the day and then we have him tomorrow and overnight so his owner can go out and party. It's rather grey and there was the loudest thunder last night. It woke up everyone from what i've heard but it was odd and didn't sound like thunder it was more like a bomb or explosion of some sort. Doggo didn't like that much i was told. Anyway... have a good day. I've got a lil backpack to finish and maybe i can get some writing in.

I just hope the drunken idiots behave themselves.  Interestingly, in rugby there is no separating the rival fans. People chat and laugh with other nationals. I went once to England v USA and the banter was fantastic.  

just started anthology piece; the creative juices seem to be flowing in a v sad direction…

Enjoy writing. Sometimes, you just have to write what you need to write. It's better out than in... who said that? LOL

Happy Thursday everyone. I'm loving all the reaction videos on Social Media right now of the Europeons coming over to the USA for the World Cup. It's fun watching someone have a life changing experience, eating Biscuits and Gravy at Waffle House.

I've noticed that too. I'm glad to see that visitors to the US are realizing that the political atmosphere doesn't affect the hospitality we are capable of extending. I never thought I'd live to see the day when bars in Boston ran out of Sam Adams lol. Those boys in kilts can knock 'em back!

Saturday. Double batch of apple brownies is on the To-Do List. One for the freezer....they freeze well. 

Have a good one.
