It would be a service to mankind if the Pill were available in slot machines and cigarettes were placed on Prescription.

So here I am again, trying to do multiple things at once ... somewhat successfully ... sort of. The stupid thing is, I don't have to do it that way. It's just something that had become a habit due to my lack of time at home between work shifts. I have lots of time now. A tremendous amount of time. Well, unless a tree falls on me ... but I don't foresee that happening in the near future.
Knock on wood, eh? LOL!!
I made it into town today to pick up my final paycheque, and to make a few stops along the way. I forgot the doughnuts I had promised the barn. :( I promised to make it up to them. I said I'd try to get everybody down to watch the stakes race and that I'd bring doughnuts then.
I tried to waste as much time as possible at that point, but I still got ot Happy Harbor about 15 minutes early. I called up and asked The Shepherd what bribe he required to openthe door for me. He didn't even barter ... all he wanted was few minutes. *sigh* All work and no play ...
I'm itching to get stuff up on the walls. I wanna get stuff upacked! But we're running out of space with the in-laws upstairs with us and we can't really hang things until all the walls are painted. *GAAAHH!!* I'm running out of hair to pull.
Tomorrow, to get out of the house, I'm going to clip some shrubbery. If I can find my clippers. Maybe a passing knight will require some for a quest of some sort ...
I miss reading Lynn's old entries. There's no meat to her current method at all. No satisfaction. And what hse is putting up is generally either cut and paste (I can't believe nobody recognised that "leg wax" thing from previous e-mails) or it's a survey. A survey once in a while is a nice thing ... you could learn something new once in while, but the constant surveys are, in my mind, stupid. If you want to get to know somebody, go out anf get to know them. I LIKE finding things out about people gradually within a long relationship. Friends, Lovers, Whomever. Constant surveys like this ... it's like one of those speed-dating things. Learn a life-time of details about a person in five minutes - if you find something you don't like, move on. If you do, you might as well divorce them now because with nothing new to learn, you're gonna be bored within the month. Unless you're a yuppie. then you might last three months before your first affair with some delivery/service man.
And no, I'm not just talking about the women. So there.
I miss the personality that used to come out in her writing. I miss her WRITING! When you read her stuff, you felt special. Or, at least, I did. I felt she was sharing something with me. Now ... it's like she's gone comercial. Quickie entries that are put in just to please the masses. It leaves me hungry. Stop trying to shock me and write something that needs to be let out! Mundane or wotherwise, if you write from within, it's important and interesting! Anybody who says otherwise, well, they don't love you and they can kiss my bahookey.
'Nuff said.
Shorty has been called and it has been confirmed. He's still alive. The planter is still broken though. I wonder if we should charge him for the damage?
Sweet Dreams!
