Ahhh, I haven't ordered Schwann's in ages. THey used to have this awesome pasta and veggie mix that I would make pasta salad with. And the ice cream is awesome! I can not have ice cream now though.
Well, I managed to spend a fortune between the pharmacy, misc food and drinks to last until I go back grocery shopping this weekend, Morgan's appointment, gas for the car, and my nails. Hubby will be thrilled with that purchase. 
He went hunting for three days. Enough said. 
How has everyone's day been? It's been really quiet in here for a while now. Where'd everyone go? James and Punkin have been missing for a while. Bamrz, you doing ok? You've been quiet lately. I guess I'm talking enough for all of us lately.

I'm fine, thanks for asking! Just trying to get back in the swing after vacation.
I've also been trying to figure out if I'll have any trouble getting to/from work (especially on Saturday) with the pope being in Philly. Lots of road closures, but it's looking like it's pretty much all downtown.

Good morning! We had a chilly start to the day at both huts. Yep, fall is here.
How long is the pope going to be tying up traffic Bamrz? I knew he was coming, but didn't check to see how long he was sticking around.

Good afternoon. I just got home from work. Had three dogs but had to send one home because he would not let me pick him up much less groom him. The owner wasn't happy but too bad for her. I prefer to no get bit.
Have to take granny to the doctor in a little bit. Busy day. Nothing on my schedule for tomorrow and hoping it stays that way.

Afternoon ladies.
It's been.... well... a carpy week. Last Thursday, I got laid off. The company announced that the second round of layoffs were coming, but no one that I know of knew my position was being looked at. I was part of a 900+ reduction in force. So now, I'm playing Mr Mom. Again. And failing miserably. When I was unemployed last time, I learned I do not make a good mommy. Not much has changed! We're scrambling now to get things like food stamps, possibly welfare (which I'm not wanting to do, but I can't let pride affect my childrens' lives). I will be getting a severance package, but it wont cover beyond two months.
I did learn something from the last time I was unemployed to now though. Dont let depression take hold. It happened last time. Bad. And I know Mrs E was worried that it was going to happen again. And it almost has. But I've been able to keep my head above the water. Believe it or not, it's been the gym and my motorcycle that's done it. Last time I was unemployed is when I gained most of my weight to be the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I've come too far to let that happen again. I admit, the first day home, it was a chore to NOT go into the kitchen and binge on everything we had. The next day, I had to force myself to eat. Finding that balance hasnt been easy. But I'm still managing. I'm just now getting to a goal weight of 170! MY POST BOOT CAMP WEIGHT!!! And as Mrs E exclaimed, I dont LOOK like I did when I came out of boot. When I was 170 last time, she said I looked "scrawny". Now... well, lets just say my muscle gain and fat loss is getting to be more apparent. Still have another 10 pounds to lose, but as long as we can afford to keep paying my gym membership, I'll make it. Goodness knows I have the time for it now.

Oh, FV. For your hornets nest... Two suggestions. One, hit them with the killer spray late at night. They aren't usually active at night so most of them will be in the nest. Spray directly into the opening, soak it. The fumes will kill them before morning.
Option two, hairspray. Lots of it. Again, before sunrise. The hairspray freezes their wings. While they are unable to fly, take the nest down and then use your aforementioned flame thrower. But be careful. With all that hairspray and bug killer, it'll go up like a Roman candle.

I'm not sure, but I think he might be leaving Monday, since that's when the traffic restrictions I've seen are ending.
James, I'm so sorry to hear you've been laid off.
Mega goodwill vibes coming your way to help in finding a really awesome new job!
James, I'm sorry to hear about you being laid off. I'll be thinnking of you and sending good vibes your way to find another job quickly. Don't use food to medicate. It's so easy to do that but you have worked your tail off to get where you are. I'm rootin' for you. Good luck to your whole family.
Got granny to the doctor this afternoon. She's still go an upper respiratory infection. I'll have to go back in the morning to take her to get an xray. She will be moving into my moms probably toward the end of October. She'll be much closer to me then and I can help a bit more than I do now. I know everyone does it but it's been especially hard watching her get old.
Anywho, the family has been fed and hubby is home from hunting. Didn't get anything but he said he had fun sitting in the woods for two days.
That in no way, shape, or form sounds like it would even be a tiny iota bit of fun. But he really enjoys it so that's what counts.
Other than that it's been pretty quiet around here (dare I even say it?). I've got to call a couple of Alex's doctors to see if they'll take medicaid which is what he's on now. On the hunt for a new docctor probably.
Well, that's all the joy I can spread right now. Hope everyone had a good day!

My eyes are crossing. I need to go on and lay down. Lots on the agenda for tomorrow.
Good morning. Im taking granny for a chest xray today. She'll probably need some more stuff done so I'll be there for most of the day. Hope you all have a great day!
Good morning. My ulcers doing its thing so I'm burning a day. Tiff hope all goes well with Granny. Cherish the time you spend with Granny even if you don't like some of it. James, James, James, Sorry to hear about the layoff. Just remember everything happens for a reason and everything will work out in the end. Fingers crossed for ya.
Good morning all.
Mrs E found some butts on sale, so I smoked it yesterday. I was up until almost 1am pulling it apart. It is sooooo good.
The kids and wife let me sleep in this morning. I think today will be spent combing the job sites.
Thanks for the well wishes guys.
