The Coffee House

[snowbear137 68]

I wondered Charlie if you had come this-a-way, bummer but it's so darn hot and hazy and humid it was a crappy weekend to do much outdoors anyway. Went cruising thru the local car cruise in but hardly anyone there and I took maybe 3 pictures and we left and got ice cream.

I didn't catch what all was happening with your job, did someone else leaving/retiring or whatever eliminate your position? Or affect it some way that you're looking for something else.

I was supposed to go up there at the end of the month. Everything's canceled and the only thing I actually paid was the flight. Southwest just gives me a credit so I'll fly somewhere else later.

Nothing has happened, but contract may not be renewed. My contact boss resigned and the contract, which was up at the end of June, has only been extended until October. Maybe it's because we are just starting a new fiscal year, I don't know.

The administration will be changing, due to term limits. My company is actually based in Illinois, and it's always more desirable for contracts to be awarded to local companies. From what I've seen, when a contract changes, the contacted managers may change, but the workers are generally kept, but not always; it depends on the company. But I don't want to take a chance on being left out, so I start looking now.

Great day today down at the music hall, cracking day seeing the singers.

Jiminy! I just went down to the store for groceries and to reset the charger on the floor machine. They stripped and rewxwed the floor Friday night.
Where there isn't a horrible mess the floor looks good. But there is SO MUCH MESS! Tomorrow morning ought to be really special.

Morning, hosers.

Now you know that changing one's oil on a hot day when one is slightly claustrophobic and prone to dizziness when looking up can lead to feeling kinda doubleplusungood and one must go inside to sit upright with some ice water to ixnay the urlhay.

Oh Monday. The coffeemaker wasn't on this morning. I started it. Amazingly I didn't leave me head at home.
4 hours and 5x minutes.
Got to take tomato sauce home.
Just had chicken tenders and gravy.
Gonna shop, hit the PO and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.

Hope that passes soon, and for good!


Happy Monday, hosers.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Man, an amazing drive. Dunno why, but the freeways were wide open this morning. It was like a wet dream drive. Just got home and the A/C is out again. Gotta call the A/C man. Gary’s oldest daughter and kids are in town from St. Louis. They all like salmon ... so salmon for dinner.

My in laws are in town this week, and then we are headed out to the Poconos for a few days next week. Summer feels like it’s slipping away.

Nothing that some cold water, air conditioning, and upright sitting didn't cure, at least for the moment. I found that I will have to lie mostly on my side when changing oil, especially on hot days.

As for the dizziness - not sure what all is up with that. It isn't all the time; mostly I just have to avoid looking straight up or being upsidedown. Every once in a while, I will feel dizzy for a day or two, but thankfully nothing bad enough that it affects functioning. And I can't stand up too quickly without getting a head rush.

But I thought the weather was always a perfect 72 degrees there???? No worries on our air for at least the next few years. Just replaced both units this spring to the tune of 11k. Until warranty runs out they're the A/c companies problem.

Great news on visiting daughter and family, know you'll enjoy that.

Feeling a little voyeuristic. I installed a remote control camera that I can access over the internet from my cell phone, to check on Sadie Mae while we are away. We call it Sadiecam. it has audio so I can listen and talk to her. She's a little freaked out about that part, can't figure out where I'm hiding.

That is all inner ear and sinus related. I’ve had similar episodes and it is usually mild dizziness and comes and goes before being annoying enough to go to the dr.

Spaghetti soon. YouTube is keeping me humming and tapping to the music.
