Thrilling Saturday non-MS/ES report, see man:

 

We were getting ready to MS/ES when Mama T-B. called, "crisis" from aysheep senior she man man.

Hospice had failed to deliver pads that go inside diapers, said aysheep senior she man man.

There was only one package of one Manyzen, said aysheep senior she man man.

Hospice would be back only on Monday, standard procedure man.

Mama T-B. was afraid that she'd run out before then, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

The chief nooser said there was no way that Mama T-B. would run through 2 Manyzen pads before Monday, truth man.

 

Everyone was driven completely aysheep, si man.

We got a total of Many calls from Mama T-B. about this, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

We got 2 calls from the nooser assistant on duty, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

We got a call from the chief nooser, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

We got a call from the off-duty hospice nooser, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

Mama T-B. recruited the off-duty hospice nooser to buy a package of pads, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

Mama T-B. ordered us to buy a package of pads, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

We got a text from the nooser assistant regarding what product to buy, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

 

We were grinding our teeth and thinking that the place would kick Mama T-B. out for this hysteria, :ranting: man.

All of this had taken nearly an hour already, :ranting: man.

We had specifically spent our Friday doing everything so that Saturday would be free, :ranting: man.

 

We went to supermarket to buy the stupid pads, subservient we man.

We almost went aysheep in line while a geriatric lady discussed her Rx's in depth with the cashieress, :ranting: man.

We finally got checked out and prepared to drive the purchase to Mama T-B., :ranting: man.

On our way, Mama T-B. called, Many'th time already man.

"Good news, si man -- someone else had a package of them, so you needn't buy them, si and no man," :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

We were about to have a stroke, :ranting:  :girlwerewolf2xn:  :bonk:  man.

No wonder Mama T-B. has a reputation as a difficult resident, :bonk:  man.

We are so embarrassed at how she went aysheep and probably harmed her status there, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

 

We finally proceeded to the MS, and then to the ES in favorite medium-sized town, proceed we man.

Breakfast/lunch/din-din was at the Chinese buffet, no not that one so cool your jets Bro G man.

We did learn that the buffet price was higher on weekends, that part was explained man.

We consumed Many (2+1) plates heaped with beef & chicken, ingest we man.

 

Went to (chain) supermarket and returned the pads, :ranting: man.

Went to Much-More-Than-a-Dollar-Tree and found nothing, no man.

Went to Tractor Supply Co. for another jug of miu-litter, good stuff man.

 

T-B.-mobiled to FST and groceried at supermarket, destination not an option man.

We scored Many (2x2x2x2) bottles of Powerade Zero grape on sale, thank heaven man.

Got a couple of other deals plus another jug of the other good miu-litter, satisfying trip man.

 

Because of the morning delay, there wasn't time to attend another possible ES, :ranting: man.

At casa, laboriously unloaded purchases and serviced demanding miu, subservient we man.

Showered and siesta'd, decent zzz man.

 

In eve, reposted expired Nextdoor & Craigslist listings of Mama T-B.'s stuff, need to rid ourself of it man.

We added some other items of our own, might as well man.

 

For late snack, managed to consume a tin of sardines before miu awoke and smelled them, ingest devious we man.

 

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

Sunday, must visit Mama T-B. to caddy her weekly pills, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

We will try to restrain ourself regarding her unacceptable aysheep behavior, :ranting: man.

We hope to return in time for NFL football, game at noon man.

Must conquer one LL + dish the warsher, necessary man.

In eve begins Two Guys week, prepare we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report and :ranting: we man.
