Thrilling Saturday report, see man:

 

Actually zzz'd through the night, right SWAG in regard to HSM man.

 

Not a prayer of any ES-ing, Mama T-B. incessantly pestering us to see her man.

 

Visited Mama T-B., 2-hour marathon man.

Twice she gave us clear instructions, we followed them, and she yelled because she wanted it differently, sigh man.

Breakfast/lunch was a couple of half-sandwiches that she hadn't consumed, ingest we man.

 

Went to hospital radiology dept. to down-track missing MRI report, not very hip of them man.

They had it on file, it having been dictated later on the same day as our shoulder MRI, :ranting:  man.

No notice at all to us or to doctor, :ranting:  man.

We read the report after they printed it out, read we man.

We have Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome consequent to a partially torn gluteus medius, impressive man.

This, upon research, is mechanical and treatable, not degenerative man.

We plan to lobby favorite Urgent Care doc to shoot us up with meat-tenderizer on Monday, plan we man.

Before MRI, we fruitlessly lobbied our worthless doc to shoot us up in the trigger point, like MRI now says man.

He kept insisting that our problem was the joint, nothing ultimately in MRI report to indicate that man.

We will eventually find ourself a new regular doc, this one kind of a warshout man.

 

Went to Uncle T-B.'s, off-drop some stuff we man to senior he man man.

He was grateful for some relief to monotonous weekend, si man.

 

Exhaustedly returned to casa to service demanding miu, Where Were You Daddy miu man.

Din-din was onecan of Progresso chicken noodle soup with onecan of chicken-breast chunks dumped in, ingest we man.

Each can had been bought at different previous ESs, F$WM.

A siesta was then taken, zzz we man.

 

Groceried late at legacy supermarket to avail ourself of expiring coupons, F$WM.

Changed all clocks in casa, :ranting:  man.

We changed half-a-Manyzen downstairs, :ranting:  man.

We changed Many (2+2+1) upstairs, :ranting:  man.

We changed the one in the T-B.-mobile, can't remember if that one changes automatically man.

It gets increasingly harder to re-hang clocks on walls, stupid recessed hanging-holes on clocks man.

At least it's easier to move an hour ahead on digital clocks, some solace man.

And now there will be sunlight later, as God intended it man.

 

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

Will probably be trashed on Sunday, always stay up too late on these time-change days we man.

Haven't checked for Sunday ESs, no check we man.

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

Had to visit Mama Neon yesterday after dinner.  Took the dogs so she could see them and had to change her clocks after she pestered us about doing that.

After visiting Mama Neon for a short while and changing her clocks...told her "wow, it's getting so late.  We need to go home,"

Went to Costco for a gas fill up just as the pumps were opened (6:00 am) and then immediately to Walmart.  Thought it would be empty at this hour with the time change, but I was wrong.  WHY are so many people shopping at this beautiful hour?

Did that just before leaving for gas and early shopping.

YES. THIS.

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.

Special Sunday ES report, see specially man:

 

The heretofore-unattended rather proximal ES was advertising Many% (half + half-of-half%) off, irresistible man.

 

This ES yielded the take, see man:

  -- Calvin Klein tie*, Many (2+2) pillowcases, Many (2x2x2 +2) warshcloths** = $Many-&-a-half 

          ($2+2 + half a buck), deal man

Total = $Many-&-a-half ($2+2 + half a buck)

 

*we wear few ties now and donated all but a Manyzen or so, but this is CK and goes with anything, si man

**for Mama-ex-Mrs.-T-B. or to sell to ex-Mrs.-T-B., F$WM

Thrilling Sunday non-ES report, see man:

 

Awful night of pain, on same HSM as had worked perfectly the night before, :ranting:  :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

After ES-ing, went to Mexican supermarket, long time since last there we man.

Got some random items including stuff on sale, F$WM.

 

Breakfast/lunch/din-din (at Many [2+2] p.m.) was TG*, barf your heart out Bro G man.

     *the onecan of tuna was from a previous ES and the onecan of peas from a market's dented-can bin, F$WM

A siesta was then taken, initially successful but awoke prematurely from pain, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

 

Mama T-B. appears resigned to our going on our trip, minor miracle man.

However, she wants a full list of all her accounts with exp. dates, phone numbers, etc., :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. brought Mini-B., start of Two Guys half-week man.

She shall reclaim him on Wednesday after skool, deal man.

We shall take him at least on Sunday night, ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s Many'th birthday = party with amigas man.

 

Mini-B. is working on a girlfriend, a true JC (hyskool-junior chica) man.

We know what they say about older chicas and younger men, si man.  :devil: 

She is apparently not a rubia, therefore we disapprove of this imminent relationship man.

 

Warshered & now baking our one LL, including all ES linens man.

 

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

Going to visit urgent-care doc Monday, with MRI reports, to lobby for meat-tenderizer in hip, hopeful we man.

If she declines, don't know what we'll do in time for trip, unknown man.

Must also do admin stuff for Mama T-B. plus grocery for Uncle T-B., latter easier than former man.

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

You really enjoy making your mornings more difficult, it would seem.  It's significantly easier to rouse a manyager when you can open the curtains/blinds/etc and the light shines them in the face.  

 

DST is dumb.  Period.  I'm annoyed with the Ontarians that came up with the concept and as for countries adopting it, it hasn't been WWI for over a hundred years, and the art of war has changed dramatically, so why are we still changing clocks?  At least my home province ditched the idea in 1966.  Summer = sunny.  Winter = dark.  Done.
