Some idiot hacked my computer.
I have to take my computer in for repair. The Curmudgeon let a hacker in, how fun…NOT.
Not smart to piss me off so completely. I delved into all the ways one can curse someone. He (the hacker) has been cursed in all the ways I could find. Some were very interesting, they start small and grow.
Can you feel it now?
Trickle down theory Bull Terrier style
Lucy has figured out that if she bugs me enough when I am busy on the computer she’ll be put in her crate and get a cookie. Then, after she’s in the crate for a little while, she plays the prisoner with a tin cup (runs her paws down the crate door bars several times) she gets to come out again.
Gavin knows if he trips me while I am carrying The Curmudgeon’s lunch to him, he might just get a chance to snag a half a sandwich off the floor.
Lucy knows The Curmudgeon always comes down from his nap with a butterscotch candy in his mouth and if she barks at him enough he’ll give her a tiny piece.
Yes, life with Bull terriers is never dull.
Dis hat is too flat
A hodge podge of things to write about
Someone rudely trolled my page and left a comment that automatically went to my spam jail. Yep, if you don’t see your comments here then they obviously went to my spam jail for some reason or other known only to my spam catcher.
They were extolling their severe problem with my blog being rife with misspelled words.
While I am not always at my best (wide-awake) when writing, I do try to make certain that my spelling is correct. I admit that I do miss the occasional word here and there as I am human and not of their Godlike stature.
However, when Gavin or Lucy take over my blog, I cannot guarantee that any of the spelling is correct.
Visited with G this afternoon for a few minutes. I took her some straws to make drinking easier. I know from a couple of tooth pulling experiences of my own, that straws are a welcome item. She looked so tired that I cut my visit short so she could get back to sleep, which is what I am sure she was doing when I showed up at her door.
I intend to spend the rest of the night curled up with a good book.
You all have a good one!
And this is for all the trolls out there.
I keep him on my front porch and poke him with a wooden skewer when the person or situation suits.
I think we’re in for a long week
G is having a tooth pulled today. I’ll be over to see her afterwards with an ice pack and straws. Been there a couple of times.
The Curmudgeon and I both have doctor appointments this week. Oh fun.
I’d like to make a Target and a grocery store run. With a stop at the farmers market Thursday or Friday.
The yard needs a lot of work and of course I am the only who does the work other than the mowing where we have hired someone to do that. Just thinking of all the work that needs doing makes me tired.
I also need to clean out the attic, replace the window screen up there with something that can tolerate the strength of the whole house fan, and get some caulking done. There’s painting to do too.
The back porch needs a good clearing out along with caulking, sealing, and weather-stripping on the back door.
Sure do wish I was three people so I could actually get everything done I need to get done here before winter.
Sigh. And then there is this:
No peace here
So now, somehow, we are having what seems like bi-weekly girl on girl brawls in the neighborhood. More than a dozen in on it.
As soon as we call the police half of them pile into cars and the other half flee on foot. One of these days, maybe, The Allentown Police will manage to get here in short order rather than ten minutes into the fight.
Ohm…….
I hope when I wake up later that I will be able to have a calm and serene day. I truly need one.
I am sick and tired of being stressed out.
I wish I had a better lid on my temper but lately I don’t even have a paper plate for it. Seems everything is setting me off.
Oh, hell no!
If I had a place to run to and an income to provide for me, I’d be outta here.
My day was
We’re all mad here…
Very strange day.
My back was killing me so I took a muscle relaxant when I went to bed at 5 a.m. and slept until after 3 p.m.
I heard nothing and I think I stayed in one position for all ten hours I slept. Woke fuzzy headed and in dire need of coffee.
Came down to my computer acting up and The Curmudgeon telling me all about it. You don’t want to know.
Took several hours and a lot of cussing to get things back to normal.
So hot out I was not eager to go out even for a few minutes. I refused to cook dinner. We ordered pizza.
Best part about the day came after 11 p.m. when we got rain. We needed it, could use more, but happy for what we got.
She’s apposed to cuddlez me
I kept bugging Da Momma. I wanted her on the couch wiff me.
She tolded me dat if I kepted it up, she would neber get her bloggie written.
I sez, tuff. I want hers to sit wiff me whilez I snooze.
So dere!
Taking on any volunteer hardscapers
I wish I could afford to have my back yard professionally hardscaped. What with the dire need to repair the front porch and other expenses, that’s not going to happen.
This summer was so dry that our lawn is pure crap. It’s nothing but dead grass and weeds. My gardens are close to death too.
We could save so much water with a nice hardscaped yard and some raised beds. Raised beds would not only be easier for me to take care of but I be able to better keep the squirrels out of my veggies too.
I am not above begging, bartering, or trading a meal or two for supplies or help.
We have brazen squirrels.
Lovely evening and the sake gets a grade
Lovely Sunday evening with G. We sat on her deck and played Uno and Farkle.
We talked and blew off steam that we’d accumulated over the week.
We also tried the Moonstone Asian Pear Sake. On a scale of one to five, five being the best and one being the worst we give This one a four.
This sake is best served chilled and is smooth with a fabulous true pear flavor, a real treat for us.
Lucy wasn’t happy with me being gone for so long. She’ll get over it.
Slow day
Too hot to work outside. Kept The Curmudgeon inside.
Worked a bit on indoor chores. I’ll never catch up on those.
Finished doing half the laundry–his stuff.
Cooked a nice and simple dinner.
Took it easy the rest of the time.
That felt good for a change.
The best part was snuggling with this girl.
