Dudes, I has both skipped and skimmed. And why, you ask? Because instead of turning off the cable TV and leaving us the internets as requested, the cable dude cut off our signal altogether. On Friday. And wouldn't come fix the screwup until today.

And so I had no internet at all until this morning, where it's the Work Internets and the Catching Up On Homework Internets, and not the fun kind of internets at all except in skip-and-skim between work ways. It's a really dark scary world.

Oh, Ginger. I am so sorry.

Weatherman says we have a mini Snowpocolypse coming. 8 inches in the next 24 hours.

Ick.

amych! How awful!

Timelies all. I have a complete draft of the thesis. YAY! It's still got a bunch of work, but it's not terrible. Another yay!

Sorry you had to start the day with that adrenaline surge ohmygodIoverslept thing. On the other hand, "Daddy, can you wake up and talk to me?" is very cute.

DJ, I think you've already had way more than your quota of snow.

I have no other thinking this morning. You know you're too full of gronk when you lose track of what you're doing and take off the pair of pants you just put on.

Morning, All!

My SIL and bro left for the hospital few minutes ago - her water broke this morning. SIL's birthday and due date are tomorrow so we are hoping the baby has the same date (except that it *is* April Fool's and that has always been a big pain for SIL.)

You know you're too full of gronk when you lose track of what you're doing and take off the pair of pants you just put on.

Not enough coffee in the world?

Stephanie, that's very exciting! Yay!

You know you're too full of gronk when you lose track of what you're doing and take off the pair of pants you just put on.

I stood there this morning staring at my pants, before putting them on, thinking "I know I want those. For something. Now what was that again?"

Over the years I've developed some sort of auto-pilot for the morning. It only jumps the rails when I do actually stop and think. So, you know, AutoMorningJoe is putting on his pants when some random neuron sparks and says "What are those? Hey, do you remember Manimal? That was an awesome show. Airwolf sucked, though. I wonder what they would call a jelly doughnut if no one had invented jelly?"

Then you realize you're sort of wandering around the kitchen with one leg bare and the other trailing your pants with a cold cup of yesterday's coffee in your hand trying to figure out if you want to use the microwave or the toaster to heat your coffee and muttering "Shut up, me. SHUT UP! Stupid Part of Brain, go back to sleep until I get to work! Smart Part of Brain, resume control and get me to work, at which time you may cede control to Stupid as per usual!"

I believe the inside of my brain is far more interesting than the parts I have conscious use of and access to.

I occasionally have to get an ear candle and clean the wax out.One time I was quite deaf on one side.

There's a kid in england that was deaf for 10 years, until the wax plug and a cotton swab tip popped out while playing in the yard.

The parents are furious that they spent many £ on treatments and no one actually checked closer than "obstruction. he'll grow out of it."

Meanwhile the post office mis-delivered the package I ordered last week.

The track and confirm says it was delivered on Saturday. So I called the national numbers, and finally got a human who gave me the local post office number (not in the book).

So I called the local post office, they asked the usual questions, then said it was policy to leave it on the front step. yeah. thanks. They then asked for my phone number and said they would call back.

A few minutes later they said the carrier does not remember dropping off a package at our house, but does remember dropping one off at an apartment complex with "a similar address."

They will dispatch someone to check at the apartment complex.

I am neutral on the chances of it being there still. This is a small town, and it might be at the retirement complex two blocks down.

No I didn't insure it, there was no option for it, and the package was only $27...

Still? Accurate delivery would be good.
