This morning can blow me

[dixienormous]

1) I realized at 6;53 while in the shower that I needed to be on a 7:06 train this morning. That didn't happen.

2) spilled yesterday's coffee grinds all over me when trying to put coffee together this morning.

3) hooked up PF to her feeding pump only to find at the end of the feed that the gtube cap and the tube itself popped off of each other and there was 20 minutes / 8oz of pediasure fed to my couch.

H is doing the manual tube feed, medicating PF, dressing her and getting her little butt on the bus. I finally made it to the next train (7:33) and I want to die. Coffee is necessary, even if I'm later to work than I already am.

At least I'm home by 1 today.

Ugh - always on Mondays too. I hate those kind of days dixienormous.

[bullygirl979]

That sounds like a shitastic morning, dixie!

[Chirp]

Ew. Your morning sounds like a shitstorm.

Go get the biggest coffee you can find. And a donut or three.

[Muddled]

I hope your day gets better.

I thought H was taking a half day today...

He was originally but then had a lunch scheduled that he can't miss. It's a client he has a lot of trouble getting into see. 

It's fine. There is a ton of stuff at home that I need to do.


oh - he also stripped the couch cushion for me this morning

[Muddled]

I still think he needs to learn to use the washer.

[dixienormous]

baby steps. We're working up to the washer.

Pretty good. Boring at times (they say I'm too fast, lol) but I just got done walking 2 miles of roadway... So sometimes it's fun.

[gault]

Oh. Oh.


I'm sorry. lol. SOUNDS LIKE A CASE OF THE MONDAYS

dixienormous run away from work and come here and I'll feed you oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Then he'll have to finish clean up.

But seriously, that sounds like a fucking terrible start to your week.

Want to come up to my neck of the woods this afternoon? There is a spectacular Japanese place not far from me.

I wish I could, but my uncle and cousin are here now too, and it's my last night in NJ. I can't believe I leave tomorrow afternoon.

Coffee, donuts, muffins, bagel sandwiches. You need them all!

I am trying to decide what I should have for breakfast today. It is my final meal before I have to switch to chicken broth for the colonoscopy. Help me TIP?!
Huevos rancheros? Eggs Benedict? Other ideas?

It might just be me, but I'm thinking huevos rancheros right before you switch over to chicken broth and (I'm assuming) that colonoscopy prep drink might not be the nicest thing to do to your hind end.

But, I'm known for having a defective digestive system, so feel free to ignore me. I'd go with eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and toast. Still a yummy breakfast that might cause digestive fireworks, but not Metallica level digestive pyrotechnics.

Heavy carbs so you don't get hungry later.

[captainmel]

So I am sitting outside at a little cafe eating breakfast. There is a man at the table across from me who is staring right at me and whistling some song or something. It isn't like a cat call. I can't decide if he's just weird or if I am legitimately uncomfortable.

I think these are the same thing. I vote he's weird AND you're legitimately uncomfortable.

He left after like 10 minutes of whistling. My breakfast was delicious.

15 minutes until my suffering begins.

You are going to be fine. Enjoy not caring how loudly you fart in public.

this made me chuckle
