Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

What a day, si man.

Awoke at o'dark-Many to prep Mini-B. for skool, occupational hazard of parenting man.

We urged him to shake it, drag-footing wee man man.

We kept yelling at him to shake it, :ranting:  man.

We prepped him Costco chicken melts, ingest hurriedly wee man man.

We had to rewarm them, that late wee man man.  :ranting:

He barely made the skoolbus, at least he did make it man.

 

Siesta #1 failed, too-caffeinated we man.

The Project Manager came over, caucus about finishing job he and we man man.

We agreed that it was best to not finish the trim if body is to be repainted, know this Thursday man.

Most of the Mexicans went to next job, two staying to replace screens man.

Job clean-up was outstanding, amazed we man.

We paid $Many,000 for the job, really nice work man.

PM later sent us rock-bottom bid for repainting, surprisingly low man.

We hope to get HOA or management co. to help with it, probably know this Thursday man.

 

Made several calls on behalf of Mama T-B., call we man.

Texas indeed has a process to send field people to homebound invalids who need State IDs, wow man.

Mama T-B. will have someone visit in Many (2x2x2) days, it sounds like man.

 

Breakfast/lunch was 2 ham-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man.

Siesta #2 failed, yard crews man.  :ranting:

We also got Many voicemails during that attempt, ignored but disruptive nevertheless man.

 

Called refurbished-appliance place where we'd gotten our last dryer Many (1 Manyzen +1) years ago man.

They didn't have an exact replacement, :( man.

However, they had something similar, purchase right at closing time by phone we man.

Drive-out price = $Many00 ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2x2x2 -2-2-2), steal F$WM man.  :dance: 

Delivery will be sometime Wednesday, rejoice we man.  :dance: 

 

Most voicemails were from Mama T-B., insistent senior she man man.

She wants us to start on her taxes NOW, not many data to work with yet man.

We can perhaps mollify her by doing more small things, at least a Manyzen of those too man.

 

We did not leave the casa except to try to retrieve Mini-B., always skoolbuses to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa man.

As he closed her garage door, it went off its track, off-rocker garage door man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B., who was out, told him by phone not to leave the casa, fruitless trip for us man.

We could have spent our entire day in our casa otherwise, almost achieved it man.

 

Amidst all this, we managed to dish the warsher, only one day late man.

 

Din-din was shepherd's pie from Aldi, ingest Two Guys man.

NFL football was then watched, magnificent outcome man.

Two bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

This makes 2 for the week, anemic start but recovery possible man.

 

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

Mandatory visit to Mama T-B. on Tuesday, required for we man man.

Must try to accomplish a lot of her stuff plus our own, not to be possible man.

Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man.

-------

Thrilling (?!) Wednesday report, see man:

 

Mini-B. actually arose and downstaired himself early, mirabile dictu man.

His breakfast & prep were unrushed and pleasant, imagine that man.

By request, we bought him an app that limits his screen time unless he exercises, ??? man.

In early returns, it seems to be working and he likes it, not a day too soon man.

 

Breakfast/lunch was onecan of beef stew, ingest we man.

 

We spent all morning & early afternoon waiting for dryer-delivery, cool heels we man.

Deliverers showed up half an hour later than promised, go figure man.

We asked them to test power in our electrical outlet, uneasy we man.

Their test showed an adequate Many00 volts, so there's that man.

However, new dryer wouldn't energize, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

Deliverers retested all fuses in back of new dryer, all OK man.

We agreed to stop there so that we could caucus with an electrician, :ranting: we man.

 

We aysheepily researched & contacted local electricians, oh great man.

One sent their man out within 2 hours, glory be man.

He detected no "ground" in the Many00-V outlet, diagnose further he man.

In short (no pun man), we would have to cut through drywall to install a new ground, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

This would cost $Many,000, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

A gas dryer would completely sidestep the problem, oh great man.

 

Fee for visit, diagnosis, and breaker-box work was $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 -2-2-2), :ranting:  man.

Guy found Many (2+1) things out of code with our breaker box, ignore for now we man.

These will cost $Many00 to fix, :ranting:  we man.

 

We researched gas dryers and potential vendors, :girlwerewolf2xn:  and assisted by ChatGPT we man.

No refurbish place had any in our necessary style, :ranting:  man.

We finally bought a Whirlpool at Worst Buy on slight discount, sigh man.

It will be delivered sometime Friday, probably hose ES-ing man.  :ranting:

We expect refurb place to refund our purchase of electric dryer, retrieval day uncertain man.

 

Finally retrieved Mini-B. from ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, exhausted we man.

Din-din was pork & beans, chicken tenders + honey mustard, and r'br, ingest Two Guys man.

We consumed the entire large bag of tenders, thoroughly ingest Two Guys man.

 

Mini-B. wanted to game and we wanted to siesta, mutually compatible goals man.

We did not zzz deeply but probably zzz'd some, semi-zzz we man.

 

Mini-B. embedded himself far earlier than usual, maybe up-growing wee man man.

We have compiled the materials necessary for the HOA showdown on Thursday, case of the piles we man.

 

Mama T-B.'s long-term care policies finally paid off, took them longer than half a year to react man.

Mama T-B. actually rather chipper about thi$ circum$tance, $i man.

 

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

Must itinerary ESs/GSs for Fri.-Sat., unknown how many we can attend man.

Doc caucus to shoot up our hip with meat-tenderizer Thursday afternoon, shoot us now man.

HOA caucus in eve, OK Corral possible man.

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