ranting & raving

   I've been yelling at people all day -- mainly in emails.  Not nice. 

   There is a sign on my wall -- "always be humble and kind" ... not sure if ranting and raving is "unkind" but I was irked. 

    Really need a vacation.   Bad.   Soon.  

early bird

I was the early bird on Saturday -- had my office garage project finished before 7:15am.  It is sometimes a curse to be an early bird ... and sometimes downright handy.

it's a work in progress -- soon to be immaculately clean office garage ... another mini load for the trash/recycle and I'm done

this was happening on the homebound commute Saturday morning .. now the beasts are standing in the pond and eating the leafy green stuff... bad phone shot but you get the idea

St Peter-Opoly ... I won.  I am a real estate tycoon and a cash collector.

can you see my buddy Jake ... keep looking he's in the picture.

score!!!!

Accomplishment List:

1.  software ordered (2018) -- paid   $13,500 ... yikes
2.  paper goods ordered -- paid ... why I order w2's now is beyond reason  $800
3.  desktop research guides -- ordered -- paid   see #'s 1 and 2 ...  $300 
4.  I feel broke.

and the biggest accomplishment!

    I hired a kid to mow the lawn !!!!   Happiness is a kid who needs cash and Marie who does not have to mow .... I hate mowing the lawn -- I hate mowing the freeking grass.  Liam is my new best friend. 

me bad, really bad

I just told a telemarketer (who called the office line) ... I was over 65, worked in government and only listened to alternative Christian - uber religious radio --

he hung up.

amazing.



and later in the day -- I took a little atv ride .....

the rows are straight -- but the earth isn't always flat

oh, it's you, again

hmm, you look tasty ....

after the bear sightings I was a bit disappointed -- just a deer ...

Sunday night

my Sunday nights are for planning plotting attempting to control my life for the next week -- sometimes I succeed and well, some weeks are an epic fail ....


Things that must get done:

1.  Find a carpenter.
2.  Vac/dust/trash -- office

4.  Finish typing client list (it's a task)
5.  Get MNPRS done .. I'm tired of the damn things
6.  Dress the part
   (sometimes the denim shorts and t shirt combo isn't appropriate)
7.  Get client letters out
8.  Get the damn payrolls done busy payroll week
9.  Gas and Wash both vehicles  find a car wash is the cry ...
10.  Mow the lawn and chop some weeds (round up is okay)

a.  load the long arm
b.  long arm at least two.
c.  long arm at least three.



notice there is nothing in this list that reads WORK LESS PLAY MORE...

argh.

Saturday morning I had a mini-truckload of stuff for appliance recycling -- Ruthie's mattress and box spring are out of my garage ... and the dead appliances too -- then took Mom to Mankato -- it was rainy and cloudy so I dumped her off at home and then went to the office for 4 hours... ya ...


I did make it out to the happy place today -- me, 4 bags of groceries and my technology.  windy -- really windy -- but I cooked for the week, read my book and took a nap.  It was good for the soul ... and I have good eats for the week ... grilled chicken for chicken salad -- grilled chicken for chicken/rice hot dish, grilled sausage, cleaned fruits and veggies ...

Etc ...

     Just adding a few other shots from Memorial Weekend ...

life (part 2)

quote of the day:

Just put a fork in my and roast me ....

it's my facebook blurb of the moment ...
