Did not sleep good last night.

Woke up at 2 a.m., 4 a.m., and finally got up at 5 a.m.

73 degrees in the Fort.

Peddle something today.

Ready for 5 p.m.

Have a Happy Hump day

Office day, busy. Hopefully nobody bothers me.

Home today, need to get some office work done. Can't get the guy who has done some weeding in the past to respond, don't looks like that will be my task this morning. Need to mow the front yard today.

Excited to welcome my daughter home this evening after her being away in Norway, Spain, and London for over a month!

It is 5:30pm here in India. Packing my bags. Head to airport at 10:30pm for a 3am flight back through London and then home to Austin. Yay !

Hump Day Zzzzz

Another rainy day in west Georgia/east Alabama. The front lawn is looking like a fungus farm with mushroom growth. We need some, sunny days. The drought monitor on the internet shows we are in "abnormally dry conditions". But coffee will clarify this.
Because a good days starts with good coffee.
Make it a good one one in spite of what humankind and climate change worriers are up to.

-Been awake since 4AM. Not fun.
-Sitting at urgent care. Just got blood drawn and an antibiotic shot.
-Work from home after this
-Nap at lunch hopefully
-Travel work tonight.

Zzzzzzzz

Mushrooms are plentiful at our yard lately.

Hope you don't have that respiratory business that's been going around campus. People that I know that have had it got their butts kicked by it.

Damn. Hope you feel better soon.

Today is our 20th wedding anniversary.

Don't congratulate me. Give your condolences to my wife.

I am getting her a new water heater pressure tank bulb thingy and a new PCV for $1208.

Damn, that WOULD be disappointing.

- Dropped the puppy of the month off at daycare
- Got a tea bomb from this "nutrition" shop that sells $10 tea bombs with 200mg of caffeine but no sugar or calories etc etc. They are delicious and addicting but terrrrrrrrrible on the wallet.
- Gonna make baked kibbeh today after I psych myself up bc it requires some work.
- Uncle Mark comes home in one week!

I'm not "sick" sick, just an infection and feeling very "meh". I guess I feel like I've missed a lot of work lately so trying to be cautious. But I will probably nap at lunch. I'm laying in bed working now.

**** me.

Atmos is back here for the third time as they are trying to find the gas line to my house and now apparently the main. What does that mean? I means they are tunneling down in my front yard making multiple holes to find them. So far, I have about 12 holes in my front yard. They are close to some oak trees and sprinkler system.

I'm very particular about my yard and am just ****ing angry as hell this is happening. Yes, they will "fix it" but it's just another rehab project for my front yard. Been that way since I've been here (4+ years). I can't win.

Uughhh that stinks.

But I do need to call Atmos so thanks for the reminder. I smell gas at my meter on the side of my house and I keep forgetting to call.

• Parlor Panther #2 has begun sleeping on the bedside table at night; it's weird, but cute
• Made some delicious coffee
• Why do people forget how to drive anytime it rains?
• Form analysis of Mozart's Symphony No. 27 is due today
• Band rehearsal tonight

So finally called Atmos as I can smell gas a little when I'm at my meter. Been forgetting to call.

"Someone 18+ must be present at the home or gas will be shut off. After this call, do not use your cellphone. Do not start any cars. Put out anything that has a flame" and they said 5-6 additional things lol.

I wanted to say "ma'am this has been going on a month" but I refrained.

Sorry about the passing of your FIL.

My MIL called me as soon as she found him because my wife is currently aboard the Rocky Mountaineer train on girls trip with her friends. She's basically unreachable during the day.

I had just boarded a bus on my way to work a volunteer shift at FIFA fan fest. So I was basically stuck and unable to get off while we sat in World Cup traffic for 45 mins. I ended up sitting in the bathroom the whole way so I could try and manage everything via the phone.


Looking back it's a little funny that he picked the absolute worst time to go

Man. Sorry to hear this. I know you were just back in Texas recently and were looking forward to World Cup activities. And there is so much to do when someone dies.

Is your mother-in-law still with you?

She is, but we are handling everything. He left no will, final wishes, or anything. It's a bit of a mess.

If you need some help navigating that, I'm happy to discuss how we had to get through a similar situation.

Now unimpressed. Atmos got gas fixed, but couldn't get my hot water heater relit. He must have pushed that starter button 500 times.

Siggh, now have to call someone to come service it.

And I know its not Atmos fault. But now will probably cost me $200 at least.

This is a very dumb question. Can you not just light a match and stick it in there?

(I've never owned a gas water heater)

No Will does make it a mess.

Hubs is calling a friend to see if he can come over and manually light it.

I got told "YOU ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT GO UP THERE AND TRY TO LIGHT IT YOURSELF".

I did verify the gas actually works as I was able to light the gas fireplace.
