Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(OMG how can I work 30 more years??)
No kidding! I have to renew certification for National Boards every ten years. I did renew this year, but I will have to do this twice more before I retire. At $1500 a pop, it's pricey but also DEPRESSING.
I am old, but apparently not old enough.
Brenda, the house has a pretty view.
Earlier today, my mom was trying to figure out why there were a ton of military helicopters in the sky over her house. Turns out it was a practice run for a flyover at the Super Bowl. (The stadium isn't too far from where my parents live.) Seems like they could have warned people that this would be happening, and not to panic. (OK, according to one article, residents in some towns did get robocalls telling them about it, but not all the towns that they'd be flying over.)
Ugh, the chain on my bedroom light (ceiling fan) pulled out this morning. I'll deal with that tomorrow -- it seems easy enough from the internet? But means I have to turn off the power, so I'd better do it when it's light out. I am glad it happened now, though, and not to my grandmother....
Yay, niece of Zen!
Hey, that W-2 showed up today. Possibly I have all the documents I need? I think I might have more outstanding interest statements, whatever letter-number combination that is, stating that I earned piddly amounts of interest. I can start without them, though, I've done it before.
That seems like a pretty nice house, brenda, and possibly a good thing family-wise.
Oh, fingers crossed brenda!
I am officially passing on going to the gym and running today. Too tired. Tomorrow will do fine, and set me up nicely to rest and watch the Superbowl on Sunday.
Got a chicken roasting in the oven, just snarfed up the liver (yum!), perhaps it is now time for some wine.
CVS is officially creepy: I almost got the gel insoles tonight, but couldn't actually bring myself to spend the $10, and on my receipt I got a coupon! For $3 off $15 of footcare, which is basically bullshit, but it may make me do it. But seriously, so the know what aisles I stopped in??
I'm getting annoyed at these little thefts at work. First my iPhone charger, then my brand new derby cap and neck gater, and after cleaning the greenhouse, I realized that the giant tillandsia was missing. Which I bought.
And I continue to miss old control-freak boss lady. Miss her terribly.
