Good morning Lounge

How are you today?

So I took yesterday off. It was wonderful. I could relax and charge my batteries again. I also did some household chores. It snowed from Sunday to Monday, so I was extra glad not to get out there :)

Saturday evening we didn't go dancing but went out for dinner to a Persian restaurant. Damn, that was yummy!!!!

Yesterday I finally took my Christmas stuff down to the basement. I have a small box there (remember I live in a big house with a lot of people). Guess what, someone broke into my basement. Nothing but the flashlight I keep there was stolen. It still pisses me off. Makes no sense to call the police though. I let the janitor know about it.

And I get a cold ... oh great ....

Picture of the Day

:D

I'm doing rather well today, just tired but I cannot get to sleep.

Things in life are picking up, it appears my wife and I might be having/getting a child soon(adoption).

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I wish you the best of luck with the adoption!! :thumbsup: Keep us informed :D

How exciting for you both.


Best wishes!!!!!!!

its going rather well, we have had to visitations so far, and it appears to be running very smooth(for a change).

I'm glad none of your stuff was stolen.

Drink lots of fluids today and don't let that cold get a hold of you.

Cute picture, gorgeous kitty.

:hug:

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I am glad about nothing being stolen myself.

Had a hot cup of tea already. Will drink water later on.

That is the newest pic of Simon AirmensMom sent me.

I hope Deb is doing well. I really should email her even if it's just to say hello.

:loveya:

have a great day. I'm just about to get ready to leave for work.

:hi:
I'm tired and will be getting my rest soon. I made the mistake of taking a nap today, so I've been up all night. Maybe I won't sleep very long and can turn my cycles around again...

That really sucks about your things being stolen! I'm afraid I didn't know you were in a big house (with the mention of a janitor, I thought you were in an apartment.) Did you lose many things?

I hope the day gets better for you, too :hug:

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I own a condo in a big house with lots of owners and tenants.

Ahhh ... I love naps. It sucks that I can't take them during work :rofl:

:D

As for taking naps at work, you have to learn how to "sleep" with your eyes open as you use your computer :P

Although, you might use headphones, some binaural beats-laced music, and relax that way, too :)

:D

As for music ... in the afternoons when I am alone in the office and the reading room is empty, I turn on my iPod and listen to my music. Helps to pass the afternoon a little bit faster.

And now is time for the lunchbreak :woohoo:

We missed you yesterday, but I'm glad you got a chance to rest and even do some household chores. Sorry to hear about your cold though. Hope it goes away fast.

Simon is I just beautiful. I got the pleasure of babysitting my neighbors cat last weekend. Well, just went over there and cleaned the little box and had some interaction. She's only 5 months old so she is still a little shy.

My weekend was uneventful,which I guess is good. Last night I was out with friends and going out this evening with a different set of friends. So needless to say, I'm having no problem sleeping. :rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I ought have stayed home today too. But the work conscience was too strong :eyes:

I just got me NyQuil and DayQuil. I know it won't make the cold go away but at least the symptoms will be suppressed. (not sure it is the correct adjective in this context)

Ohh ... lucky you to catsit :) Will you be able to do it again?

that's what sick days are for, stay home and recoup. In my new department they encourage people to stay home if they are sick, not like in my old department.

NyQuil and DayQuil are godsends. That stuff works for me too.

Yes, I'm sure I'll be cat-sitting when needed. I told my neighbor that I'd play with her cat so she wouldn't feel so lonely and when I went to find her she was sitting in a chair all curled up in a cozy ball. But . . . she had the same coloring/markings (while curled up) as my dearly departed cat and I let out a small gasp.

the day after I was off.

Awww .... sounds like you started catsitting for a reason :hug:

mean. Sometimes even if the reason is legitimate, it's tough not to go into work.

;) Although I simply ADORE cats, I'm just not ready for one again. My life is to sporadic, too spontaneous. I'd be afraid the poor cat would be home alone more often then should be.

Gotta head out to work, so wishing you a GRAND day!

:hug:

I adore cats and would love to have one or two. But I am coming home late sometimes, it wouldn't be fair. Even though since I work at the groceries store I am not gone over the weekends as often as I used to. Hmmmmm .... maybe me needs to rethink that ...

You have a great day yourself :hug:

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I wanted to say he ain't no killer, but that wouldn't be the truth ... he is a mice hunter. And a mighty good one :)

How are you doing?

It's kind of a relaxing drive going up 81 then through the 1000 Islands. I'm kinda looking forward to it.

I drive German, by the way...

.. the drive I mean .... please drive carefully.

Nice car :D

My mom drives this car

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Glad you got your batteries charged, sad that someone stole from you. :(

Rough night after a busy day, Mom is in hospital with a fever and some disorientation. I slept, but not well. Today is going be a chore.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she gets better soon. :hug: :thumbsup:

At least it was just a flashlight, but I'm sorry anything was taken!

Do you have a busy week or will things be calm?

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

It is more the bad feeling that someone went into my basement than the flashlight.

Since it is my first day of the week today I can't say yet. It is quiet regarding customers but there are still a bunch of books to be cataloged. How about your week?

My house was robbed once - it was a really bad feeling.


My week looks really, really busy, but I'm hoping things will calm down. We will see. Classes start this week too, so that's exciting.

:hug:

What classes will you take this time?

:hug:


I'm taking "Shakespeare in Film" and "Film and Public Memory" - should be good. I hope.

those really sound interesting. Let me know how it goes!!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Glad you got your batteries charged. I am pretty tired today too, so I hope to recharge and be myself by tomorrow. It doesn't help we are having another cold snap.

That is rotten that you got your stuff stolen...isn't the building locked? I would make a police report, because you never know if they might recover your items. Years ago I had a bike stolen in Key West, the number one crime here. Everyone told me don't bother to report it but I did. One year later, they busted a big stolen goods ring and guess what? My bike was found!

Big hug though, that is very upsetting to have things stolen from you.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

If they'd stolen more than the flashlight I would have called the police. But the flashlight isn't worth it. Well, I guess it was someone from the building. I know that my neighbor is stealing ... the janitor told me that. My basement box is locked and no one can see inside. Guess whoever broke in thought there might be worthful stuff in there. Guess they were wrong.

I thought you meant they took everything EXCEPT a flashlight!

Glad to hear it.

I definitely would have called the police.

:hi: :hug:

Glad you got a break, get some rest. :boring: Sorry to hear about your storage room. :(

Dinner sounds good. :9

Dad is home from the nursing home, but now he has to take care of himself. This means not eating the stuff that he'd rather eat, which helped cause the problem, and exercise. He's not going to like it. :(

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I am glad I got the break too. I really needed it.

Oh yes, Persian food is very very good. Have you ever had it? I had Khoresht with lamb. Gosh, I had a small orgasm on that table, the food was so good :blush:

Good to hear your dad is home but sorry about the task of cooking healthy for him. Will it be your task?

Anything new regarding soccer?

I think I have some more cat photos. I'll have to post them.

The cooking will go to mom. They still live in the house we grew up in. Unfortunately, they can't climb the stairs anymore. Getting old and sick sucks, so take care of yourself while you're young and strong.

I haven't had Persian food, but I hear that it's very good. There are some Persian restaurants nearby. :9

I'll have to find another soccer team.

Yes you need to post more kitty pics

and yes, you need to go to a Persian restaurant. You won't regret it.

Ugh ... sorry about the soccer team. I know you enjoyed playing with that team.

but, not really. I was the new guy and it was for a rather short time, 1 full season and part of another. I liked playing real soccer with a real team--not a bunch of n00bs that don't know what they're doing and I'm doing most of the running. Winning a few games is fun, too. It's no great loss. I'll just be a free agent again. I'll just carry my stack of different color shirts and find another team, just like before.

Kind of rotating kitchen days the past few days. Clean, cook, clean up mess, cook again, clean, cook...and that is where it is right now :)

Baked potato soup... mmmmmmm

:hi:

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

Mmmmmmm ..... please scoop some over :D

If you get bored in your kitchen you are welcome to come to mine and cook :D
