Looking like we might get another foot of snow next week! So lucky.

we’re getting some great fluffy coverage right now.

before today the yard was covered but the driveway was perfectly clear (due to my anal-retentive efforts) – we’ll see how the blow-n-salt goes today.

We got a couple inches last night, add that to the 2 feet we got a couple weeks ago, then add another foot next week, this shit should be fun.

Mornin’, front porch dwellers!

Kiddo is improving. Still a shitty cough, but hopefully the antibiotics will do their work. Poor fella had pink eye and an ear infection. Double whammy, no wonder he felt like shit.

That doesn’t sound fun.

That’s a tough draw. If he doesn’t get pink eye in the other eye, he’s doing a good job of washing his hands, not touching his face, or both (probably both).

Ear infections are the worst. I had a handful of ’em when I was a kid. Had to swallow pills that looked like horse medicine.

Yeah, no pills for him, luckily. They gave him an oral antibiotic. I didn’t know they had such things.

The pink eye must be a school thing, it’s the second time he’s gotten it. I’ve never had it in my entire life. All the booze I drank when I was younger must have killed off all the bad germs in my body.

MT Viking’s wife is having surgery today (unless it moved again or I’m remembering incorrectly), so for those of you who believe in prayer and/or sending thoughts, feel free.

I’d like to see him find success starting somewhere, but this many years in, it’s looking like he’s running out of chances.

A career backup isn’t a bad gig, though.

She’s overrated, right? I mean, she’s pretty cute, but I’m still surprised how many people think she’s a ten out of ten.

You are correct. She is overrated.

Glad to have you in my corner!

Hope all is well in VP land. Anything new?

Not really anything new. The job that was supposed to be over in June is still dragging on. I will probably be done with it sometime in the next couple of months. Then I need to decide what to do next. I’m tempted to retire.

sometimes jobs just kind of drag on, don’t they?

You’re thinking about selling books, right?

Correct. I may go full time selling books. Maybe I can get it up to a living wage.

If I were a couple years older, I could probably snag an early retirement out of this work situation. I doubt they’ll offer it to me at 48 years old, most likely a severance or something.

hopefully a big one. Something at/over 2 weeks’ pay per year employed.

I have a type.
She fits my type.
Never claimed she is perfect. I find her funny and very attractive
Sandra Bullock in the Proposal works for me as well.
