All showered and no where to go LOL

OOOhhh Sat will be close to 90º ! and a few days next week too. Guess August is back
Lin I know all about having to wait on background checks. I have had a few done over the years. Mostly for the last job I was at. That was 2 separate background checks. One done by the state police and one sent to the FBI by the state police. And of course one from Utah, and another one from the state police to the FBI. I still have to get background checks because of the one permit and the one license I have. They get done when I renew them.

Good early afternoon all...exceptionally humid...and...we're going to add about 10 more degrees to our current 80*.

Picked up a pastrami grinder/sub/hoagie from my favorite pizza joint on Main St.

Lunch is done...you know the rest.

NO Ken you didn't scare me I was on the treadmill watching TV.. loud.. to drown out the dogs. There is no 'talking ' with this person. Dog officer is a boob and I'm not going to bother the PD any more calling.... I just really need to get out of here soon.

2 eggs this morning, there may be another one that was just laid... by all the racket they made. Kinda wish they were LOUDER to **** off said dog person. But that's not fair to anyone else I like quiet.

Thanks for the weather report Ken. I was hoping for less humidity today but now I won't open the windows

Hey Shaun ! SELL SELL SELL it's Friday !
.........wait....... it IS Friday no? lol

Oh I applied to a big company for their Janitor position. It's Union, starts out peanuts for pay but in 1 yr I will be close to my reg pay, 2 yr I will be at my pay and by 4 yr Way over my pay Gotta love the Union ! Plus it is where my Temp job was so I know the Union rep guy Who's going to talk to the hiring guy. The background check is what takes the longest so you never know. WAIT, not that I don't have a clean record ! It is sparkly clean !!! It just takes a long time with the Covid and it's the FBI that runs those so...
OK Off to apply to other things. This sitting around is not my thing
Howdy Lin...good luck with the process. I used to have a tread mill...I miss it...it was a great place to hang clothes.

Afternoon Bud...it was a "Two Katie Day" at the clinic...Katie Lyn was my primary...Katie Beth was on my side also. I cheated this morning...stopped at Dunkin's and bought a dozen donuts for the girls. Hope your birthday was a great one!!!

And it is also equipped with a millennial anti theft device as well to make it even more tricky to start if you dont know how.
Afternoon Shaun-ster...hope your day is going well.

Evening all...only getting a half hour sleep in a night certainly sucks. Took a 4 hour nap this afternoon...and...I'm still exhausted. Humidity dropped for a couple hours...now...on the way back up. I finally turned the A/C on...it's doing a good job.

We got a little last night that I saw on the camera in the morning but just enough to get the ground wet I think.

I've had the AC on a set temp all day just to keep it in check, really hate the humidity..

I didn't sleep well last night either but will take a sleeping pill in a min so I sleep through the night, I hope. Hope you get sleep tonight too

Night all, going to hide tomorrow too since it is going to hit 90º

Good morning Lin...all of Massachusetts...and...wandering truck enthusiasts...Welcome to Saturday For All!!! Starting out as a hazy...humid day...currently 91% RH...temp at 66*...on the way to the upper 80s to low 90s...gonna be uncomfortable. A chance of scattered showers starting around noon. Hope MA Nature is treating you better!!!

Saawx blew a 2-0 lead last night...giving up 9 runs in the 5th to eventually lose 12-4 to the Jays. Their rapid fall continues...2-8 in the last 10 games. Watch out O's...here we come!!! Double header today.

Gonna take it easy today...catch up on some emails...order up some checks to pay some bills (my absolute favorite thing to do....)...do some Suzy Home Maker stuff...catch up on some TV and some reading...and...of course...get in a nap.

Hope y'all have a great day!!!

Howdy Lin...I did sleep in...didn't roll out of bed until 0715...my roommate wasn't thrilled with that...he wanted his brekkie. I gave him his favorite...Sheeba Salmon Cuts.

How's the job search coming??? I understand you're working with a temp agency again...the same one you used before??? Any word on the Bar Manager job???

Morning Bud...just one sandwich yesterday...different parts of the country call them different things...up here they're grinders. I believe in your neck of the woods they're referred to as hoagies...in Dela-where...it's generally a sub...in Joisey...it's often referred to as a Hero. It's all the same though. I kind of regretted my choice yesterday...while it was delicious...I ate the whole thing...should have only eaten 1/2...upset stomach afterward...affected my nap.

I'm going to rent Sleepers from Comcast today...finished the book a few weeks ago...it was great. I've heard the movie is just as good...first time I've ever been motivated to pay $3.99 to watch a movie at home. Hopefully it's as good as I've heard.

I'm a Prime member...don't watch the videos though.

I'm not a big movie watcher...I'd rather read a book. Regardless of when the party is...my statement holds. Enjoy.
