Kitty On My Foot And I Wanna Touch It

Well Pirates of the Carib was very good. Good enough to make the hours we spent sitting on the theater floor in line worth it. Seriously, we got there at 2:15 and the 3 show was sold out. Got tickets for 3:50 and had to get in line to get into that at 2:30. Fortunately Mia and I had spent the morning at Barnes and Nobles so we had reading material to go around.

Wanna hear fucked? Got home last night and the AC was not a working. And the inspector came out today and it didn't pass code! Mom was there all day for the rest of the 1 year warranty work and is still there waiting for the gonad who was on call last night and never called her to get there. She was told 3:45 and when she called to check, they said that was really a "3 hour window" for arrival. As in he could be there as late as 6:45. What a crock of shit that is!

Anyhow I am sitting here trying not to kill my computer. Well the print server that creates my document, I should say. A more unreliable program may exist out there, but I highly doubt it.

Kidlet is camping with her dad. Went up to Detroit Lake yesterday and is there until Saturday. I am taking her extra on Monday since it will have been a 6 day stretch for him.

Oh and I have a lovely summer cold. Whoo hoo.

This Is The Stuff Life's About...

...And It Trips Me Out

Fuck me running. Ended up at home yesterday with Mister AC Installer Man since my mom had to deal with an emergency doctor appointment for my grandfather. He was acting loopy as all get out, apparently. So of course, I didn't get all of June out on time and that fucks my stats for the entire year. Which fucks my raise, kthx.

On the bright side, AC is the shiznits. I finally had a decent nights sleep last night.

Have yet to hear from Miss H on our weekend bacchanalia so I need to call her. The shit part is I now have to work all day today and all day tomorrow. I was already planning on working 4 hours on the 4th as well. So much for doing me right, eh?

I don't have the kidlet (that I know of) on the 4th but I think I will go sit out on the big lawn in our neighborhood and see if I can see the fireworks. We could see them during the airshow out at the airport, so I am hoping I get a show. I love fireworks. I am a frustrated pyro at heart, me thinks. It comes from having a mother who literally stood over me with a hose in hand when I had my sparkler fun as a child. She is a bit uptight.

Since my OT will be going up the next two months I am pondering two expenditures. First off a laptop and wireless network. Second...MORE INK!

You can tell which I get more excited over :P

Where Love Is Just A Lyric In A Children's Rhyme

Mother of Pearl.

It was 91 degrees inside my house last night at 8pm. I made the kidlet stay the night at her grandparents. They have AC and with her sunburn she needed the cool. That sunburn took a nasty turn yesterday. Ended up getting a call from her, in tears, saying it was burning and itching her so bad she was going to die. And you know it took at tylenol 3 with codeine to stop that itch. And two benadryl. The freaky part is, I talked to C last night and he had the same reaction yesterday that she did. He nearly called 911. Since they both got burned at the same time and in the same pool, I am guessing they either had a chemical reaction or some sort of virus. Freaky shit there. This is why I don't sunbathe.

Currently it is 84 out heading to 87 out at my place. We tend to be hotter out there than Portland. Very flat ya know. So I figure I have another night of not sleeping well and frying my ass off ahead of me. Fun fun fun. Or not.

Heroin Is So Passe

My child is at home making microwave oaties. Should I be scared? Prolly. Eh, kids never grow up if they can't try shit out. Last thing I want is an apron string swinger.

Mr Murphy has struck again. We are in for a heatwave including 100 degree days Sat-Mon with cooling by Thursday. Guess when my AC gets installed?

Friday.

Gah.

Maybe I'm A Little Bit Slow, Or Just Consistently Inconsistent

Ohh....I get AC in the house. That should be nice. Only thing with townhouses is it gets mighty hot in there during the summer. So Mr. AC Guy came out yesterday and we should have it installed before July 1st. Happy Dance!

The ex (husband this time) is out of town on business so I have small child until next Tuesday. Which is her graduation. From 5th grade. There is a hallmark card for every occasion these days. I got a laugh out of her response to the assignment that the 5th graders get up and give a speech on what they want to do and what "life skills" they will need as adults. How about letting 11 years olds be....11 year olds!

Need me some coffee so short post for now. Still looking like sun for the concert this weekend!
