I may be able to manage being laid off and never be unemployed. I kinda like that. Although I was considering the extended vacation as a bonus. Now I may be employed by two companies simultaneously.
 
I'm slightly upset at my own stupidity in touching my hand to the fucking hot stove. :rolleyes:

:rose: It happens to everyone who cooks every once in a great while. I've grabbed a pan without a hot pad - either from the stove or oven. Things like that usually happen because I'm fatigued for one reason or another. Hope it feels better soon.

Congrats! I'm trying to either sell a couple novels or find someone who will pay me at my current rate to just stay home and be a Mom. :D Neither seems incredibly likely at the moment, but I'm going to keep working on the first one.
 
I sang two songs unaccompanied last night ay an Open Mike gig, and, though I got some great applause, can't help feeling I made a teeny weeny tit of myself :S
 
If you shop to the point of physical fatigue, it might be just a tad too much. :rolleyes:

No one should take that 'shop til ya drop' business too literally. I need to learn my limits, lol.
 
I have a grill, a steamer, and a deep fryer... and only use outside... keeps unpleasant odors outside
 
The kitchen is nearly finished. Almost all that is left to do is the painting and a new fuzeboard because we've added too many electrical sockets for the old one.

But we're stalled on the downstairs toilet. We wanted to strip back to the original floor before decorating. Our builder took up the fake wood vinyl to find Marley tiles (hard plastic) stuck hard on top of cheap floor tiles that crumbled in his hands. Under the floor tiles was a complete layer of levelling compound over linoleum that was stuck to the floor boards with what looks like, but isn't, fibreglass resin.

The original floor boards have been damaged by the erzatzt resin and will have to be replaced. The joists underneath the boards are partially rotten which was concealed by the layers above acting as a load spreader.

So now the floorboards have to come up to check and replace as necessary the joists, then new floorboards, then new vinyl and then the builders can put the toilet and washbasin back. When removing the washbasin we knew that we had two layers of wall tiles behind it. We didn't know that those two were on top of a plaster coat covering the original 1939 tiles. We now have a larger downstairs toilet. We've gained an inch on width and length and another inch on height.

We won't have a working downstairs toilet this side of Christmas. We do have two other toilets which is enough for the two of us.

I'd like a few weeks without builders...

I don't know how much longer I can take the two-faced nature of nearly every one of my friends. Not in reference to me, though i'm sure they talk plenty behind my back - just the way they bitch and moan about other people. Sometimes, they have a fair point to prove, but damn if it doesn't get annoying.
 
My father and I had a poker tournament today. I convinced myself that I would be knocked out in the first hand. When that didn't happen, I was pleasantly surprised, and enjoyed the next two and a half hours I spent playing cards. I didn't make the final 30 that got invitations to the national tournament in Atlantic City, but I still had fun.

Then my father and I stopped at a Pizza Hut Express at a bowling alley for dinner. I was a little upset that I was in a bowling alley for the first time in six or seven years and I wasn't bowling, but I also had a headache that would have majorly reduced the fun of the experience had we bowled a round.

And then I saw my boss at my office as we drove by. He is never at the office. What was he doing there at 7:45 pm on a Saturday night? Very weird...
 
I'm supposed to go away. I don't want to deal with her whining. I need an excuse. :rolleyes:
 
I can't find my little black band ring. I thought I always put my jewelry away. Damn! I want to wear it to the party.

Found it! Must have been drunk and put it into the wrong box. Life is good, again........

I usually just watch English football without rooting for any specific club, but I seem to be catching more Arsenal matches lately and they've been awesome to watch. Well, and they're cute, too. That always helps to hold my interest. :)
 
I always get a giggle when I am reading on Lit and people talk about going to church. If only the church people knew the sexy side of things.

:D
 
How can it be that I wake up to a world where a song by Miley Cyrus is destined to be Xmas Number One over here in the UK? WTF?
