Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

Awoke long before alarm, more PTSD nightmares about move man.  :girlwerewolf2xn:

 

We & Mini-B. took Uncle T-B. for birthday lunch, steakhouse man.

Mini-B. consumed shrimp + French fries, ingest wee man.

Uncle T-B. consumed a cheeseburger + French fries, ingest senior he man.

We consumed a chopped steak with 'shrooms/onions + mashed potatoes, ingest we man.

Uncle T-B. got cards from us, Mini-B., and miu, carded senior he man.

Uncle T-B. was very well pleased with the celebration, pleased senior he man.

 

Uncle T-B. still had not dealt with his undried laundry, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

He strongly hinted that he wanted us to do it, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

Because it was his birthday, we agreed, :bonk:  we man.

It took Many (2+1) strong bags to carry it out, hernia man.

It already stank, too, blecccch man.

 

The laundry was 2 loads, sheets then regular man.

We warshered/baked/folded all, Thread Laundress we man.

 

During this time, Mama T-B. called, disconsolate senior she man.

Her substitute hospice nooser had called her "anxious" because of her uncontrollably restless legs, :ranting: man.

We texted said nooser and gave him the what-for, :ranting: we man.

Nooser capitulated and won't repeat such behavior, no man.

 

We tried to siesta after this plus other Mama-T-B.-related calls, failure man.

We have resigned ourself to getting next-to-no zzz for the foreseeable future, sigh man.

 

Delivered Uncle T-B.'s laundry, grateful senior he man.

Got skool supplies for Mini-B.'s only class where the teechur thought to post a supply list, :bonk: man.

 

Din-din was 2 "Hungry Man" boneless-chicken frozen din-dins, ingest Two Guys man.

Movie night was 2 Breaking Bad episodes, watch Two Guys man.

Many (2+1) non-Costco popcorns* were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

     *the end of the box jetsam'd from Mama T-B.'s casa, financially savvy we man

This makes Many (2+2+2) for the week, more than halfway to quota man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

Mini-B. starts hyskool on Tuesday, up-growing wee man man.

We must arise quite literally at o'dark-Many -- si man, o'dark-Many -- to chauffeur him, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

Maybe later he will take the bus, still will need to arise to breakfast him man.  :girlwerewolf2xn:

Thrilling Friday-on-Saturday non-ES report, see man:

 

Zzz'd until alarm, amazing man.

Got Mini-B. to skoolbus, timely wee man man.

Breakfast was a banana + part of Mini-B.'s unconsumed chicken melt, ingest we man.

Attempted a siesta but it failed, no zzz we man.

 

After much internal debate, unenthusiastically decided to mow front lawn, mow we man.

Our hip was screaming loudly at us during and after, ow ow OW OW OW man.

 

Finished and began off-cooling under ceiling fan when Mama T-B. called, call senior she man we man man.

Mama T-B. described a low-blood-sugar crisis, sigh man.

She wanted kids' orange juice & a roll of LiveSavers from the store, request she man.

We told her that cookies & Junior Mints were in her fridge in her room, si man.

Nevertheless, we dragged our carcass to get ready, exhausted we man.

Found LifeSavers in our casa, find we man.

 

As we left the casa, it began to monsoon like an illegitimate male child, build an Ark man.

Just beat monsoon to Mama T-B.'s, by mere seconds man.

 

Mama T-B. not completely aysheep but not calm either, no and no man.

We read her all of her mail and organized room to her specifications, compliant we man.

Mama T-B. demands that we get her computer up & running in our casa, si man.

 

After an hour + half an hour, we exhaustedly left, bye senior she man man.

Wanted desperately to take a siesta, but went ES-ing instead, must keep streak alive man.

ES was way far out in the deep 'burbs, allopatric from anything else man.

Way down was hampered by red lights at every intersection, :ranting: man.

We wanted to strangle the idiot Traffic Engineer, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

Way back was hampered by skool zones, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

Mini-B. already at casa when we returned, de-skool-bussed wee man man.

 

A wonderful siesta was taken and mildly overslept, zzz we man.

 

Din-din was 2 "fancy" frozen din-dins*, first time for each man.

     *bought from liquidating supermarket, financially savvy we man

We over-nuked both, dried-out man.

Mini-B. refused to consume his, understandable why man.

We ingested all of ours and most of his, financially savvy we man.

Mini-B. soon accepted an offer of onecan S+Ms, happily ingest wee man man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. came over to see Mini-B., see ex-she man wee man man.

She did a zipper repair of Mini-B.'s skool backpack, handy ex-she man man.

They want to get a miu for their casa, we pray otherwise to the Great Sky-Chimp man.

That miu wouldn't live long or healthily there, pretty sure we man.

 

Movie night was 2 Breaking Bad episodes, watch Two Guys man.

Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

The weekly tally is now Many (2x2x2x2 +2), quite impressive man.

 

Just got texted by someone wanting some of Mama B.'s smaller furniture, receptive we man.

She will come all too early on Saturday, the sacrifices we make man.

Mini-B. will almost certainly still be zzz-ing, well OK man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

We have itineraried 1 GS and 2 ESs for Saturday, itinerary we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Friday, report we man.

My son, daughter in law and new granddaughter are moving to Arkansas on Friday. I'm so freaking excited it's crazy. I'm trying to convince my dad to come down to visit too. It would be great for him to meet his new great granddaughter and see his other grandchildren. He hasn't seen kid #2 in 13 yrs. It would be so good for him.
