Tersosity & Verbosity

• Bedtime. Only half hour late tonight. Managed to get DVD drive in @neatlytangled’s computer, recognized, just not tested. #
• Dishes even got put away, but backlog of more for tomorrow. Forgot to take meds. Swear those make me less grouchy. #
• Then again, they numb your brain and can make you so mellow you become a Fail Slug sans cadre of helpful airlift birds like the whale. #
• I’ll have to use my me time before work for a shower or go dirty. Sleep matters more, so on that note off I go. #
• Not that I won’t tweet from bed when I lay down and can’t sleep, but hey. #
• @neatlytangled Ouch! That sounds painful indeed. #
• @neatlytangled An yay the raise! Don’t want to reply to text at this hour. #
• Woke just ahead of alarm, set for 2:00 as I am working toward 1:30 gradually. #
• Not feeling motivated, even hard to grab a second coffee, let alone shower, work, whatever. #
• @pixxiespaz Speaking of which, I need to remember to give Henry his vitamins more often. He’s totally going to shrivel without them. #
• Can’t get into writing, made worse knowing I need to read and edit entire 2/25 post as written to this point. Prefer to spew whole posts. #
• Feels too late for shower, but back pain will be helped by one. Guess I’ll try to do it but fast. #
• A long, heavy shift, makes up timewise for light week if not spectacularly. Last day for a major shipper. #
• Most smalls are from a major mail order biz. Got big disc to lure & help establish our home elivery service. #
• Renewal time: they wanted disc rate cut to below our cost, said no, competition gave in, prob at a loss too. #
• @neatlytangled I felt the buzz and almost pulled this out on road to see if it was you.. Will head back out. #
• Meant to tweet I saw led switch on coffeemaker was unlit, touched to be sure was on, switch *fell out*!! Wtf ovah? #
• So figured if not fixable, presume not, either I could get one this am or make o & Deb get one. #
• Just ate butternut & coconut donuts in memory of Donut Girl, @neatlytangled’s apparent would-be competition way back when. #
• Donut Girl flirted just hard enough for me actually to realize she might possibly be flirting and make me wonder “well now what” cluelessly. #
• @sharone75 Adult incontinence product. #
• @sharone75 Of those I’d place Twitter the youngest. #
• And one of them I’d say never, because hello, lamest Geocities wannabe crud bane of the real web ever. #
• Pointedly took some initiative at work today, declaring how they had me assigned “silly” and confirming it was a good idea to switch. #
• Enjoyed having the manager near shift end tell me about his logistical failure, changing things to improve them, worsening instead. Cool. #
• Not cool it went bad. Told him that’s why you try, learn, try different to get it right. Cool to be in on it. But they know my background. #
• Last night I was all excited about today being yay my 2 days off start motivational get lots done woohoo. Now it’s like… whatever. #
• New DVD drive no software, XP. Put DVD in, offers Win Media Player, then fails apparently no codec to recognize content. Alt DVD player? #
• That is, suggestions RE possible alternative free DVD playing software that would work & take place of MS silliness? Buy Mac not an option. #
• @Shurakai 14-ish sounds reasonable. #
• That’s 2 enthusiastic recommendations for VLC Media Player. #
• @CotC http://tinyurl.com/ac72qj #
• @RickWolff You might check out http://www.regtek.com/. Former colleague does work for them. Haven’t migrated entirely but expect to. #
• Apparently I’d forgotten RegTek didn’t take PayPal, just CC. How odd. #
• Ooh, Henry got off me. I can type freely and/or do other stuff. #
• @MikeG1 We’re already saying that and it’s not happening until tomorrow and Monday. We want spring! #
• RT @ScottAllen Giving away 50 free guitar lessons to bloggers: http://tinyurl.com/c5wzyo. (I’d be more a piano or voice candidate.) #
• http://tinyurl.com/dbpglc #
• They say that breaking up is hard to do. Now I know, I know that it’s true. #
• Gotta feed the monsters. Hooray for leftover spaghetti. They probably won’t be amused, or eat much. Big lunch. #
• Henry ate the better part of a soy spread PB substitute & blueberry jam sandwich. Rest of us, grilled cheese, mine with tomato. #
• Supper more successful than expected. Baths now! French bread slices drizzled with honey are popular. #

• Supper was pleasant and leftover-busting, but I just blew post-meal bathtime on e-mail rather than dishes. Oh well. #
• A mere 72 minutes overshoot on planned bedtime. Oh well. Still going to try the new plan of getting up 1:30 AM or so. #
• If the post-nasal crap would stop I’ be asleep, espite stitch in left shoulder/back area. #
• Getting up early as planned is hard. Woke easy enough from bladder alarm, but feels awful. #
• Looking at older tweets, apparently the letter D key on Blackberry got balky well before I noticed it had. aiction? No, addiction. Sheesh. #
• Struggling not to have things I say turn out sounding bad. #
• Pecking away at my blogiversary/blogging post. Almost time to put it down and get ready for work. Maybe a 3rd coffee? 32 oz seems inadequate #
• Wondering what a day of daycare for 3 costs. Wondering what 15-18 hours a week in-house babysitting for 3 costs. #
• Gonna make myself late doing math. Best guess 39k bare min stay same, 50-60k progress. Off to work! #
• If you plan not to stop home after work on way to Dr & errands that inclue bank, taking check with is good idea. #
• The getting up super early, 3 mugs coffee, early to work thing? Rocks. #
• This is early. In pk lot at 7:38 for an 8:15 despite having to run home & stop to fill the tank. #
• @sharone75 Indeed! So warm I worked in T-shirt entire shift. 2 full trailers in under 3 hrs, too, great for me. #
• Very efficient having you fill out a survey about today’s visit before you actually see the doctor. #
• I figure it helps give the employees in their bureaucracy plenty of work, collecting & spinning results. #
• Done. 150-something/100-odd so I am ordered to remember to take the meds every day before I come back in 2 weeks. #
• Pleased to be the early patient who helped them be on track for day. Guess it’s off to bank now. #
• Unless I want to treat myself to breakfast or visit my old client or something first. Have a while I can run around. #
• 20 mins to kill before bank opens. Maybe I *should* go get an egg mcmuffin. Do they still sell those? #
• Was set to visit old client if only to say hi to one of the secretaries, but traffic felt like it was telling me not. #
• Plus it’s like what am I stopping for? Hey look, still a failure, but thought I’d upate you on my failitude. Appealing #
• Seriously, though, not impossible for a visit to lead to work, for firm or someone there, shades of when #
• If I was seen in the bldg when firm was client, ppl woul remember to ask or have me do stuff might miss otherwise. #
• What a nice day. I could do without the numb though. Oh well. #
• Well fuck. The truck doesn’t want to start. Act like no juice, then if juice, no ignition. #
• Was trying to figure who I coul call to at least try jumping it. Duh. We have other car, just means packing kids. #
• Apparently bad conncetion on bat cable. #
• @shartlen Helicopter crash?? Was at BoA on 44 Raynham, now at Wal-Mart Raynham, if that tells you. #
• Almost hate to turn truck off but coul prob clean cable while waiting for Deb & kids. #
• @shartlen Well holy cow! Talk about a close call to us. You too, really. #
• Well, starte right back up. Iagnostic was actually headlight. Jiggle cable, make them go on, yay power. #
• @Shurakai Yeah, was thinking wait til home cuz I have sanpaper there. Otherwise’d just be scraping w/metal tools. #
• Actual word on Grandma! She’s being moved to LifeCare in WB’wat today, starting active therapy tomorrow, doing well. #
• Turned out the positive terminal was heavily crudded with corrosion, negative was pristine, as if one but not other got replaced sometime. #
• Cleaned it off enough it ought to be good for a while. Answered question of whether battery disconnect would turn of check engine light. #
• @CotC http://bogusgold.powerblogs.com/posts/1235513084.shtml #
• I seem to have explosive decompression of temperament late in the day when I have been awake too long & still have too much to do. #
• Just got out from under napping baby, managed to ease him cheerfully awake, but kids completely ignored me when I asked for space in kitchen #
• I’m disgusted that nothing I’d had in mind to make can be done in the available time, and tonight 7:30 *really* has to be bedtime. #
• I’m also mystified to learn there is an a in temperament and not just finding another mistake in the Firefox spellchecker. #
• At least the oldest is sad that I went on strike & closed self in office when they wouldn’t leave the kitchen. #
• Where she remains, pounding on my door. Way to motivate me! #
• Still have to empty dishwasher & strainer, install DVD drive, make & serve supper, give baths, take shower, whatever I’m forgetting. #
• Was trying to remember when I first got my current doctor. Looking through old e-mails, apparently summer 2002. Wow. #
• Sittercity seems almost like OnForce for people who do various sitting services. 273 within 10 miles, a slew under 1 mile. Fascinating. #
• $10 - 20/hr seems to be the collective norm, with some 10-15 or whatever. I’d guessed 50-75 per 5 hrs for the 3 kids, so close enough. #
• Heh. If I needed to fill, say, 9 hrs/day even at $10 that’d be 1st 450 of my net. If I were sole support *really* covering all = 108k gross. #
• OK, *really* need to go throw food at the brats. And me. I need to eat sometimes too. Start of weekend tomorrow might inspire real cooking. #
• Sadie *really* wanted spaghetti with meat sauce, so I decided it wouldn’t take *that* long to toss together. Besides, bought Italian bread. #

• @pixxiespaz The elder of my sister’s 2 kids. Computer Science. #
• Ended up posting a placeholder for my incomplete 6th blogiversary and whither my blogging future post, to mark the day but finish as able. #
• I should check the bathing kids. Er… especially since Val got herself out of tub & is walking around dripping asking to come out of tub. #
• Switching sleep venues is traumatic. #
• White noise aiction is a terrible thing. #
• Messing with Blackberry is all I can o while failing to sleep but it rives baby crazy an keeps him active. #
• Very weird moving back to the bed. Not as directly more comfy as you might expect, mainly just different though. Had to sleep on back. #
• Back wouldn’t be possible on floor, but offset to making arms & upper back better was numb/tingly feet & legs, freaky feeling. #
• Let’s see if I can go fall back asleep. #
• It woul be just my luck for what is superfically more comfy to be ifferently ba. #
• Think this is a careful what you wish for scenario, unless I am just having that ba a night body-wise. #
• Dddddd My letter d key seems to be dying. Great. But really I should try to stop pain tingle numb & frickin sleep. #
• Finally got comfy & right position then night flew way too fast. #
• I was absolute barely last minute. Then Val woke up. If I am late again I’ll finally get written up. 2 of those=gone. #
• Otherwise a great shift, if only 3 hrs 1 min. Talked management with one of mgrs again, got story on a firing. #
• Hitting store for small grocery run I ended up eferring yesterday afternoon. #
• New plan. I will shoot to get up 1:30 AM workdays. Since nobody will be asleep in my office, I will do stuff freely, be able to leave early. #
• That should at least partly solve prob of when can I write, or do even an hour of “requires concentration” activity. Like day off in slices. #
• Even if FredCo isn’t forever, I’d rather not get fired for lateness, though it beats being fired for faking a work injury to delay firing. #
• Maybe I can finish my post now, though Henry is mothing me and trying to steal mouse. Hello? Why won’t “update” do anything? #
• I seem to be putting the intentional in verbosity today. #
• Ready for my nap. Maybe eating was a bad idea. #
• Was kidding about nap. Body was not. Feel like I’ll never be warm again, after waking. #
• Maybe a shower. Soon as I give Sadie the lunch she refused a few hours ago, so she can refuse supper in a couple. #
• Invoked Deb calling me to touch base, just by thinking how weird it was for her to be out of house but not have exchanged texts or anything. #
• Friend she’s off with bought something too cool to resist, but big so it needs them to come get her truck, wanted me not to be surprised. #
• Girls having snack while baby naps. They want hot ogs for supper, not burritos as I was thinking. Silly kids. #
• First, a shower and then install Deb’s DVD drive. #
• If I knew a nap would render the boy insane, I might have forced him to stay awake. 1:45 to bedtime and I must make supper not coddle. #
• Post-nap trauma coddling done finally. Yay. Guess the DVD drive won’t get installed today. Heck, not enough time for supper & baths left. #
• I must sound like I’m made of complain. Just get so frustrated sometimes. Well, much of the time. #

• Henry just ate almost 4 full servings of the macaroni, ham & peas concoction I made, served with parm cheese for those of us unallergic. #
• Simple: Cook/drain mac, cook peas, cut ham cubes. Add peas to mac, soy margarine, dab canola oil, ham, pepper, garlic powder, stir, heat. #
• Henry needed benadryl when he woke from nap. Strawberries? Maybe. Something bothered him today. Bedtime now! #
• Not amused with Val having woken me under an hour.into night of sleep. #
• Mondo hours to sleep works better if you stay asleep for those hours. #
• Read the time on Blackberry as 11-odd. Apparently was 1-odd as it’s now after 2. Darn. Go back to sleep 20 mins nfg. #
• So weird being this early. Wish I had slept more. #
• Weird to be 6 mins early even after 2 small errands on the way. #
• Heavy day, but we rocked so done early for the volume. Amusing manmagement antics. #
• Mgr put me clearing ics until clear then on last trailer. Ics were endless, kept going going thinking was silly. #
• PT mgr comes along wtf says mgr doesn’t know how to manage unload. I was right. I’ll do as asked til absurd for boss. #
• @sharone75 Wish I weren’t! #
• Did too good a job comforting Val when she stirred & cried before I left. Henry found mom, but Val stayed in office. #
• Just got used to them vacating so I could get home & sit at computer without disturbing them. #
• Anyway, is prob a bad trait that if someone in authority wants me to do something absurd, I tend to “work to rule” & #
• Wait for them to realize what they’re having me do is nuts and change course. If they don’t, I tend to perceive them #
• As being crazy, incompetent, stupid, whatever, lose respect. OTOH more likely to do wtr in 1st place if already signs #
• That if I tried to point out their illogic or suggest a better way I’d be maligned, ignored, scolded, whatever. #
• If it takes 4 tweets it should probably be a blog post. Happy 6th blogiversary to me, speaking of that. #
• Can’t stay awake! 32 oz of coffee since I got home might as well be water. #
• Took a brief nap after my last tweet. That’s much better. Now to figure out what to do with my “day off” that’s not a day off. #
• My days off are Sun/Mon, Deb’s are Wed/Thu. She tries to use Thu as REAL fun day off. Wed is closest to that I can come, thus arrangement. #
• I just don’t have plans like to go out, meet friends, that kind of thing. Have to hit groceries at least 1 store, maybe another errand. #
• Main joy is feeling of lower parent stress because I can offload kids if needed. Except I have to be back by 5:00. #
• @Lagwolf 14 inches? Ouch! Here near Cape Cod it feels like winter might just be over, knock on wood. #
• That was a yummy lunch! Leftover ham, maple bacon, cheesy fried potato, carrots, cauliflower with cheese. #
• @EternalWanderer Thought since mom hasn’t returned my call from yesterday that I’d see if any word on grandma has arrived in your house. #
• Should I be concerned that I have been at her house both times my grandmother has fallen and broken a hip? Feel like bearer of bad luck. #
• @sharone75 Weren’t you keeping that in a jar by the door? #

• Finally! Getting to bed. Deb is taking her time getting home in an effort to make this work. #
• Not sleeping comfortably. Good way to start the work week. #
• Dreading laying back down between Val & Henry for more “sleep.” Space enough there for another small child, not me. It hurts. #
• Really, I should sleep more. Been up long enough to recover from the discomfort & squeeze back down between the omnipresent kids. #
• Laying down made legs tingly numb, but freaky thing is hypersensitive “don’t toich me” feeling. #
• Not hardly, since it’s the floor doing the “touching” and not like I can sleep standing. #
• Finally fell asleep. Really well. Never hers 2nd alarm. Heard 1st alarm from under pillow at 3:34. I lease at 3:30. #
• Which makes this a short shift starting at 3:58 instead between 3:42 and 3:45. Yay. #
• To sleep where the kids want between them Blackberry goes under pillow, much of night in my hand. Not working for me. #
• That’s 3000th *post* or *blog post* or *blog entry* NOT “3000th blog.” I’ve had blogs numbering in the teens, but blogs aren’t posts. #
• Stayed out of my office when I got home, thinking kids remained asleep in here. Finally looked. Forgot they tend to migrate after I leave. #
• What Kind of Juice Are You? - http://tinyurl.com/ck4sgc - You Are Apple Juice #blogthings #
• Evicting baby from lap so I can do more dishes. Exciting! He was traumatized by hiving sisters, which required sitting on me 40 minutes. #
• OTOH the sister in question spent most of that time waiting for a drink I refused to put him down to get. #
• Karma. It’s not just for chameleons anymore. #
• It’s worth buying a ham just for it being favoritest food of the kids. #
• @pixxiespaz I remember how nice it was when school was FINALLY going to be over. Even if mine went on longer. #
• Kids ended up with lunch of ham, strawberries, apple, and dried fruit. Enough with the potato chips constantly. #
• These kids make every littlest thing harder. #
• Need a nap! #
• Which might have happened, but for the bladder, and now I have reminded kids I am here. #
• Torn between domestic chores and more writing. Not even counting correspondence, but including potentially leading to income, ultimately. #
• @Shurakai Um, yeah. Citibank is the fount of evil at which Bank of America merely laps thirstily. #
• Baby is napping not on me, great effort, and all my energy now is diverted into keeping girls from waking him. #
• Every maybe a minute I pause to explode in a crescendo of “shhh, SHhhh, SHHHH!!!!!” #
• Val brought me new belt to untangle. Asked if she’d pooped. Figured out that was smell of belt material. Yuck. #

• Shoot! Thought I’d be home hours ago to finish CotC. Now I have a crowded hour. #
• Henry slept an absurd amount last night, so it was kind of impressive how much he slept on me this afternoon. #
• Drinks, make sure everyone had enough of a snack, try not to eat all the PB cookies, then back to work. #
• @EternalWanderer Yep, I didn’t specify earlier, but she broke the other side this time. #
• Late! Time to get these twerps to sleep. Me too! Sunday night shouldn’t end up being a short sleep night. #
• Again, the sleepy but awake interlude around time I’d normally go to work, even after late bedtime. #
• Back to sleep now! I hope. #
• Seems like I have a choice of laying so either right knee or left foot hurts, but both legs esp right numb regardless. #
• Would have loved more sleep. #
• #cotc Carnival of the Capitalists for 2/23/09: http://bizosphere.com/?p=156 or read/follow @CotC to catch the tweets. #
• @phillymac What! We’re not enthusiastic enough for you? Sheesh. #
• Ordered @neatlytangled a DVD-RW for her PC. Hope it’s good, for $19.99 & free shipping. #
• Next: Renew some domains well ahead of time so no worries & no danger to ones that make vastly more than enough to cover registration. #
• @Shurakai Why yes. Yes it would. #
• Mostly cleaning & working on getting ham in the oven. Trying to orchestrate 7:30 bedtime all around as Deb is 11-8 today. #
• That was a bad shift because I never forced bedtime to precede her arrival home & then that delayed sleep, so I’d get 3 hrs, be zombie. #
• Speaking of being a zombie I’d better take my blood pressure pills. #
• Annoying to go over the laundry list in my head of projects I need to do and realize how overwhelming it will be even if I just chip at it. #
• Thinking about my childhood best friend Tara. Associate her w/amethyst, strong willed people, my deference to girls being in charge. #
• Val’s adorable fake tiara & jewelry (she’s a princess!) has fame amethyst, always my favorite non-precious gem from rockhound days w/Tara. #
• Hallelujah! Baby just let me put him down to finish nap Not On Me. #
• Put on my A/V troubleshooting hat. #
• Discovered Fox station we get better is broadcasting content on hd & endless loop re switching on analog. #
• Other Fox station should come in almost as well but is just fuzz, along with a couple others. So much for delay. #
• Otherwise think I got my answer: connector on other tv was cause of problems. #
• Tried inventing non-dairy mashed potatoes, let kids taste, have Val begging “give me more! Give me more!” #
• Just solved it by giving them beaters to lick. #
• Big meal done. Kids in tub recovering from hair washings. 2.5 hours until bedtime. Sad it’ll go so fast, all eaten by gottado stuff. #
• Funny for a kid to be begging for something on tasting it ahead of meal, then not touch it on her plate. #
• Just remembered I need a shower. Wasn’t even factoring that into all 2.5 hrs left in day being allocated already. Oops. #
• @neatlytangled http://www.popsci.com/node/32333 Especially the 1st page, which we had totally nailed. #
• Val is asleep. Henry wants to be. Trying to resist & “finish” in kitchen before bed. #

• 2 cans of tuna ought to allow me more than 1/4 of a sandwich. Not even that, had I made as much no mayo as Henry could have eaten. #
• Dunno about allergy, but Henry has absolutely no interest in strawberry, period. Totally unlike blueberries, cranberries, apples, etc. #
• He also didn’t like eggs or peanuts. #
• Tuna or not, guess I should have some chips, maybe an apple. Never fully lost the feeling today that body was reacting to being underfed. #
• @gmtrojan Yep. We need temporal SQL statements. #
• @EternalWanderer Indeed! It’s a mystery to me how I came out as if I had such parents when I didn’t. All internal. #
• @EternalWanderer At least, no overt or memorable influence of that type, though I am sure that they were factor, just not concise/clear one. #
• Let’s see if the little ones have flooded the bathroom yet. And remove them, either way. #
• And bedtime. Soon as I take Maalox, because hello, I ate tuna, even if I got little of it. #
• Funny, nights I have alarm, wake up way early. Tonight dead sleep til what would have been barely on time to go work. #
• Cept I get to check what is on Blackberry, tweet a couple times, then sleep more. Yay sleep! #
• Did I say something about now going back to sleep? Silly me. Not sure I’ll be able to fit back between kids if get up. #
• Sleepy again. That’s better. #
• It’s 8:44? Wow! Could stay sleeping if Henry weren’t joyfuly beating me wakeful, but still. #
• Shocking! Henry’s preferred activity for the morning is to sit on my lap. #
• This is boring and not making my morning. #thebabyisafuckingleach #
• Well, one of things I had in mind this AM is out. I had barely enough time and that’s gone, but at least he noticed he could play w/sisters. #
• Shoot, it’s almost time to get out of here. How’d that happen? Showered sooner rather than later bc Val heard “shower” & showed with towel. #
• @phillymac Wow!!! That’s so… cool? Guess I’m not the only armed and dangerous one. #
• @pixxiespaz Hey, where are you!? Missing the cake & sibs beating up Gary. #
• My grandmother fell. Lookls like broken hip. Ambulance on way. Sheesh. #
• Looks like thigh and knee, not hip after all. They just scooped her out the door. #
• @pixxiespaz Darn school. No word on gram yet. Bea will go up after things settle out a bit. #
• No word on grandma yet. #
• @Shurakai Of course it’s delayed! Duh. #
• We were right. It’s a broken hip. She told the emts what sound not him, but way she acted was hip. #

• Augh. Tired & time for bd but same time want to be able to keep going and do the other 20 hours or so of day I’d like to accomplish. #
• The little one is going to have to stop napping on me w/o being able to transition to another surface. Disasters not worth it. #
• It briefly looked like the girls had even managed to lose my work badge, used for opening security gate & punching in/out. Glad I found it. #
• Oh well. Maybe even with birthday stuff I can get housework done in my couple days off, starting after I get home in the morning. #
• Feel like something big I am forgetting. Not just scraping plates, tying trash, making ME supper, but something important. Hmmm. #
• Forgetting to eat would be why I just weighed in at 240, no normal course of day upward fluctuation to be seen. Oops. Oh well. Shutting up. #
• Hate waking up too early by just enough not to sleep more, and beyond cold to boot. #
• Looks like FE saw the Robin Eggs I got her and raised me Cadbury Caramel Eggs. She must still love me too! Yim! #
• Still wondering if I’m the one who sent a 130 lb package up conveyor. Poor Jay in the towe. Could have rolled on. #
• That is, you aren’t always lifting packages so much as maneuvering them, getting them rolled or dropped onto rollers. #
• Isn’t it funny most ppl called Jay are actually Jason? Reverse was I used Jason as one of my fake DJ names as kid. #
• Well, off to landlord and maybe store if I’m gonna make a cake. #
• @Shurakai Nice car! Or appeared so going by. #
• Was so much better end of shift forgot to mention I’ve never been so dizzy at work. Inexorabullied my way through. #
• Val got really cool presents including awesome NEW clothes Deb got, so of course the hit is the Slinky. #
• Post done. Back to the kitchen! Getting much needed calories and making space by eliminating residual quantities of potato chips. #
• Ooh, I should try to watch Dollhouse online again this week. OTOH I should try to catch back up on Heroes and Chuck. #
• Poor Slinky. #
• @shartlen Sadie set her metal Slinky down on floor to go eat. The younger two apparently played tug of war with it. #
• I love when a damaged Slinky goes all möbius so bending it back into shape from one end is fine to a spot, and vice-versa when it reverses. #
• Sadie has noticed the Slinky. #
• Kids more or less lunched. Maybe I’ll offer them the frozen stuff. #
• Made mistake of saying the word “playground” in earshot of kids earlier. No intention. “Nice day” is relative, it’s still winter. #
• Sitting on me bad. Up and down up and down up and down FAR worse. #
• So wrong. Baby gets on me, naps, I fall asleep, later lay down with him, he gets up, helps sister get me up, get drinks, I sit, he climbs me #
• Ran out of time to make ham w/o eating late, but pondering offering to make it to bring to grandma’s tomorrow. #
• @sharone75 So we should show up in a little while? Heh. #
• Maybe I’ll make burritos, despite no time to make beans from scratch, which is better than any brand of canned. #
• Poor @neatlytangled forgot to tie her new cell phone to Twitter, which would help improve today. #
• Gotta figure out what to do w/existing service we shared, moot for her, expensive all around. Barebones & keep phone for me, or prepaid? #
• Don’t want to pay for more than another month, anyway, enough to ramp down ppl having her old number & transition me too. #
• Apparently I have to guard the dishwasher every moment or he will take stuff out, with preference for kitchen shears used on raw chicken. #
• Just talked to mom & grandma. Small pot roast & chicken tomorrow. Said I could bring ham but didn’t need, Skip that bring soy ice cream. #
• @sharone75 Heh. That *is* bed, almost. We’ll probably be somewhere between partway through meal & partway through baths then. #
• @sharone75 Bed can be later bc I am off Sunday, but they’ll still start pumpkining about 8 or so. Darn. #
• Allergies put an amazing crimp in last minute quick meal options. Apart from it being drag we skip stuff like cheese on burgers, #
• I hate taking basically all afternoon to send 2-3 not even necessarily long e-mails. #
• Really need to stop and make supper. Can’t I go back & issue an insert into day several hours after noon command? #
• Looks like tuna sandwiches at birthday girl’s request, chips, strawberries. #

• Kids are doing their best to leave no leftovers. #
• Plan came together. Sadie was suitably amused that I’d stored spice drops candy in my spice cabinet. #
• @pixxiespaz Better. No coughing. Henry is snorffly, apparently perpetually. And not so teeny, any of them. #
• Amazing how much kids will eat if it’s favorite stuff, served late, after they’ve been poorly fed all day. Barely chicken left for Deb in AM #
• Kids want to sleep and I need to. Better cleanup in kitchen & get on with it. #
• Apparently I need to remember to take my anti-grump pills tomorrow. Poor kids. Finally getting the bleep to bed almost 90 mins late. #
• With their mom on a date tonight or at work most other nights I expect bedtime to go smoother. Argh. #
• Annoying to wake so earlly after getting to sleep so late. Then freezing so laid bnck down.m #
• Consistency can be good. Yay payday. Must stop for gas. tank lowerr tham thought, 8th vs 4th when I left. #
• Timing: low fuel light comes on as I pull up to the pump. #
• Silly kids got in bed with their mother instead of staying where they’d been with me. Day off yesterday or no, she still needs enough sleep. #
• FWIW, and i know I shouldn’t weigh myself obsessively, I seem to be at 240 this AM, firmly enough to call it net loss of 68. #
• Need to get to store today to shop for Val’s birthday. Figure out the cake thing. Henry is 18 mos today. She’s 3 tomorrow. #
• Apparently cake with no eggs or dairy is not that hard. Seems to be choice of chocolate or raisin/spice cake style. #
• Amusingly, one of the recipes has directions to make frosting to go on the egg & milk-free cake… using butter and milk. Doh! #
• Oh well. Time to get kids drinks and stuff, since they have the audacity to be up. #
• What Would You Win an Oscar For? - http://tinyurl.com/blqxb7 - You Would Win Best Documentary Feature #blogthings #
• Freezing. Spring, where are you? #
• My nephew Jonathan is 12 today. How’d that happen!? My nephew Hunter is, I believe, 8 today, Time flies. #
• Wish the bleeping kid would stop bleeping climbing the bleep onto my bleeping lap. #
• @jaysolo http://tinyurl.com/2yxd5h #
• Yay for having a 2nd parent to dilute the kids! Sub for that will presumably be affording enough daycare. #
• @sharone75 speaking of food my mom dropped by said W was vague so not thawing turkey. does have lemon bunny cake for val choc cake for jon. #
• reading online fiction of all things while baby naps on me ad nauseum #
• While I hosted sleeping baby & surfed, girls quietly got in worst trouble ever. Man am I angry. #
• Birthday treats damaged, strewn, half eaten, my paycheck etc everywhere at least mostly undamaged. Floor trashed. #

• A good shift. Back doesn’t even hurt knock wood and ignore my leg almost betraying me one point. #
• The cute! For once instead of waking & crawling in with mom after I left, V & H snuggled togther & stayed sleeping. #
• On the off chance I’m still there in summer I’ll look like I’m melting and scare people. #
• Warm today. After a few mins took off sweatshirt, worked in t-shirt drenching it in sweat the whole rest of shift. #
• Need to buy a belt. Mine is so overlong now I noticed today it’s at risk of getting caught in machinery. #
• Weighed myself several times this morning. Twice I got 239, which is a net loss of 69, with at least a pound of clothes on. 230s is goal. #
• Reality of the weights is still probably a nice 241, net loss of 67 and counting. So yay either way. #
• @elle6503 Since December 2007, most of it by end of summer 2008. #
• Found mistake in crossword puzzle yesterday. The clue was “emulate Rachael Ray” but “be perky” wouldn’t fit in 4 characters. #
• @gregverdino First time I read your tweet I read “uvula” as “vulva.” which made it sound rather funny. #
• Still pretty warm, 40 out there, though sitting at home now I’m shivering. #
• @Shurakai Yay, you made it! #
• Was just going to say I should finish post I started yesterday, then Henry got on my lap. Big post. Probably need hour+ typing time. Heh. #
• Explaining to baby that I *like* holding him on my lap… for PART of the day. Not all of it. Not wedge in EVERY TIME my keys get clicking! #
• @sharone75 Well, Emmawee should be old enough to make her sister breakfast in some form or another. #
• @phillymac Good luck with that! #
• Hard to believe it’s possible to have this much pain in fingertips. Must salve them today. #
• @pixxiespaz Ooh, the real stuff! #
• Not sure I can bully this chicken into being thawed and cooked through in time for it to be supper before bedtime. Meant to start earlier. #
• @caltechgirl Whole 7.15 lb roaster. Spent a day and a half in fridge. Barely had started to thaw. Patented oven thawing method. Still tight. #
• Thinking about how I pulled off being one of most linked bloggers, then generated massive enthusiasm for CotC, & could I do the like again. #
• Sadie seems to have decided she really likes Petula Clark. At least “I Couldn’t Live Without Your Love” via YouTube video. #
• A blog friend could use help, if anyone is so inclined: http://www.alphecca.com/?p=1238 #
• Now to check on the chicken and toss some other stuff on the stove. #
• It feels intensely weird not to be texting back & forth with Deb when she’s not home, but she has new phone & isn’t in appropriate venue. #
• Regardless of anything, she’s the one the random thoughts & ideas & especially kid antics reel off to as they come along. Feels amputated. #
• The chicken may actually be done before kids starve, even if it pushes bedtime back slightly. #
• Sadie found a coloring book someone bought her in France and is entranced, using it to inspire her own drawings. She’s drawn all day. #

• @sharone75 Yeah. One of only 4 large Corel plates my grandmother gave me. She gave me more of others, but had fewer spare of the large. #
• @sharone75 And I had no idea they shattered so spectacularly. Was about to put hot dogs on it to go in microwave. *Crash* Ugh. #
• At least there are tons of other large and medium plates, including the nice “antique” ones from Bessie. #
• Really want to do stuff, but kids are ready for bed and it’s close enough to my time, especially on maybe 3 hours last night. #
• OTOH I feel all energized from forgetting my BP meds 2 days in a row. It was too late when I remembered today, and worse yesterday. #
• Time for pills and water pounding on my back to try to make it stop tormenting me. And figure out what I am doing today besides dishes. #
• I have a meme I thought of at work I’d like to pursue as a job hunting related exercise others might also like. Maybe go hard at that. #
• @Shurakai Just realized it’ll be cake time for Jonathan too. #
• I love spam spoofed from me to me. A bit over 3 hrs, right on target and save me from ppl who can’t drive. #
• Still pondering what to do today, incl whether to bake a chicken I have thawing, as opposed to doing it tomorrow. #
• Speaking of food, scrambled hamburger I thought was going to be bad after too much oregano poured in was superlative instead and probably #
• that was due to extra bay leaf, dill, and caraway offsetting it. #
• Anyway, considering Trader Joe’s run, shopping for Va’s b’day, just hanging out and working on the “what was cool” meme, fixing my desk, etc #
• Back starting to feel almost human. WTF took so long today? Did a bit of business. Maybe watch American Idol clips online next. Or lunch. #
• It’s all very nice to be hugging a low low weight & wanting to go down more, but total failure to eat, not always helpful. #
• Also have stuff accumulated potentially for CotC, could tweet those today. #
• @neatlytangled Don’t forget! http://tinyurl.com/cka4wu (Nothing new, just amusing title for you.) #
• @Shurakai Don’t think so. IIRC the books were last trip. #
• Apparently the 18 month old twerp is *not* napping, despite his best efforts to act sleepy. #
• Someone holding a Twitter-intensive conference or something? Sheesh. #

• Thrown together scrambled hamburger I thought would be bad came out exceptionally tasty. A shame Val fell asleep, I found when called her. #
• Sneaking in a bit of business while kids soak in tub. Past bedtime though, so time to get moving. #
• @EternalWanderer Sounds good! Only tried turkey for meatloaf once so far. Traditional egg is out in it for us now, as is cheese. #
• Late getting to bed. Human SnailCat girl doesn’t seem to care she missed supper by sleeping through it. Woke in time to crowd me in bed. #
• Congress needs its very own Fail Whale that says “economy over capacity” even if that’s not the problem. Then they can throw more $ at it. #
• Oh wait, that’s their default setting. #
• Can’t get comfy enough om floor to fall asleep tomight. Knees hurt. Bruised foot hurtd. Ribs hurt. Ugh. #
• Henry just excitedly pointed at screen and said “puter!” #
• Early day, relatively. Well, under 3 hrs is automatically light and early. Now back to the grind. #
• Business transacted, despite being home, despite more or less caring for kids. Impressive. Well, OK, it was minuscule stuff. #
• Bet I can’t finish the post I started 3 days ago though. Which has been partly obsoleted anyway. Too much time and typing. #
• The practice calls me to verify that specialist appointment got made. I say didn’t hear back with actual *appointment* yet & was thinking #
• about calling to clarify exactly what they are fishing for anyway. Would I like to be put through to doc’s office? Sure, great. 10+ Minutes #
• hold time later, kid squirming on lap, other kids mothing me, I gave up for now. I know it’s a busy time there so not surprised. #
• Need to figure out what to get Val for her birthday, and what if anything we will do about cake. No eggs or milk for 18 month old, remember. #
• Speaking of Val, she was waiting for her brother to get tired of being on me, long wait since he’d fallen asleep til phone rang, for drink. #
• @shartlen It’s very quick, as I recall. They did hours some months back. State law on meter age apparently. #
• Called doc’s office back while kids pounded on my door until they popped the lock, right as someone picked up. Gal there is calling me back. #
• But so much for locking the door to keep them at bay if needed. #
• @sekimori I always especially liked peek, peak and pique. #darnthosehomophones #
• Yay! Heard from doc’s office. My stuff is off to Boston Medical Center for neurosurgeon to review & then they will call for appointment. #
• The *reason* is because my doctor saw “a bit of disk protrusion and that’s what’s causing the pain” and wants to see of anything to be done. #
• Which is interesting in that discussion of pain was secondary or possibly not mentioned, versus the peripheral numbness symptom. #
• So again with wondering if my doctor and I participated in the same exam/discussion. #
• Kids need to learn to Just Obey in emergencies! Good plate fell of counter, shattered, “don’t move” mean run through the shards. #

• I need a bed. #
• Crazy dream about Prez being someone from Halifax I knew growing up, driving thru neighborhood & seeing Secret Service checkpoint. #
• So you couldn’t even drive down their road if you didn’t have good reason. Which wasn’t their road, anyway, but one in more rural section. #
• Dreams are funny things. And she was the Prez, he wasn’t. Reality is they divorced & are probably pushing 80 now. Very funny thing. #
• Whereas Obama was born the same year as me. Talk about passing the torch to a new generation. #
• Duh! Never completed CotC last night. I believe it will have already self-assembled as a draft post. Dern kids. #
• CotC should post itself in under an hour. Drives me crazy server time in same zone is always 1 hour off. Now drugs & maybe back to “sleep.” #
• They really could fit side by side without his feet on her head. #
• Poor Henry expanded to fit my spot while I was up. Poor Val. Moving him disrupted her. #

• They’re booking me an appointment and calling back. Just realized I better specify Wed or Thu. #
• So the MRI showed probs, Doc wants it clarified by specialist. Leaning more “skeletal” than MS “changes” but wants to get expert. #
• @Shurakai Lynn called about your itinerary just before the doc office called. Mom trying to plan a turkey dinner to help use all your time. #
• @Shurakai All I knew was thought you were leaving on a Sunday & not here long. All she knew was it must be this week bc school vacation. #
• I think it’s this guy he wants me to consult: http://www.tufts.edu/med/neurosurgery/weller.shtml #
• I had no doubt something was wrong, but hie thee to Boston on account one MRI? No. Completely off the wall to me. #
• @Shurakai If you’re lucky, it’ll also include a lasagna of 6 month old freezer vintage. #
• Someone close to me once observed I put all my feelings & reactions internal and that’s where my insane blood pressure might come from. #
• So I seem calm at things that maybe should freak me out, and I go even calmer in response to others being freaked. Odd sort of thing. #
• Been on the phone so don’t know if they’ve tried to call me with an appointment. Getting kind of late day for it now, so guess tomorrow. #
• @Shurakai srsly tho, suday is cake day at gram’s for val i presume so curious if would be that day. val is 3 sat. #

• not bother with it on a whim. #
• Dishwasher didn’t flood. Managed to read package (eyes vary day to day or hour to hour) & amount it calls for is more than I ever use. #
• So it wasn’t likely excess soap, though I had used more than normal when it flooded, almost the full amount package says. #
• I love how they won’t interrupt tweets, as if they know they’re of no consequence. Unless I am working on CotC. #
• I’m glad I leave for work at a time when nobody can try to stop me or plead with me not to go or something. #
• Not sure what the kids ever did to deserve this level of grumpy. #
• Ended overpriced phone service for old biz must have been 4 yrs ago anyway, still shows up as what’s at that number if you Google. #
• I’d expect it to be assigned & show as something else. It was a cool, business-y number. Oddly similar to the one my father had at his biz. #
• Keep wanting to use “Bond, Covalent Bond” on my chemistry geek nephew when I see him. #
