He's not going to be happy...

But you may ask - Aunt Ing - when IS Bubba happy??  Oh dear friends there are days - hours - minutes of happiness... they are few and they are far between.... and this is yet another time when we won't see it.

New freezer was delivered today -- oh joy oh bliss...hauled the old one away... however before that happened... the plug behind the freezer (NEW ONE) didn't work!  OMG $400 for a busted plug??  No, plugged the old one into another outlet  - it no workie.  Deliver guy figures when the freezer died, it took the outlet with it.  And that boys and girls means we're going to have to tell Bubba that we need to call an electrician... just shoot me now.

I'll tell him when we're in Vegas and he's in a happy place - or I could just let him see the orange cord to the other outlet.

Its been a day.  Up moving to work, walked into a big old mess.  The boss has been MIA for the better part of August.  We have government year deadlines - I've been nagging for a good week plus to address issues with said deadlines -- and they apparently handled it last night after I sent up to the powers what I had.  So then I come into 4 pages of documentation, in which my boss and her red pen had had a really really good time.. then the numbers - oh heavens the numbers.  I've got one set - she updated the second set and the finance people have another set.  So me and the other engineer sat and tried to noodle through what we knew, where stuff was and why there were three bloody sets of numbers! 

So - updated, adjusted, squished and moved around - I declared victory and left at noon.  Freezer guys arrived at the early end of the delivery window - yeah?  See panic with plug - see still dead freezer.

Is 2:15 in the afternoon too early to go to bed?  Maybe but I may consider some (as the song goes) Day drinking --  d-day drinking...  Can't do that yet - I need to run a couple of errands - then I can come home and drink to the Food Network.  I should patent that - every time Guy says winner  or Killer you have to drink.  And you'll be seriously hammered within the first 10 minutes of every show he's got.

I digress --  and I have a list of things I should be getting done, thus far I have done 1 - freezer delivery.  Oh I've done other things - not on my list, clean out the recycle bin - as apparently my mostly empty jar of molasses broke and left a big old mess I didn't notice until I went to put it back where it belonged.  So back yard, soap, hose, spray spray 5 minutes in the sun and dry.  Then - I look at that tomato plant of darling Bubba's it's everywhere - so I pull weeds, I tie up drooping branches and then I sit down at my computer and ... do nothing on my list.

I tried to call home - but the parental units are busy - I get that.  I am not right now.

OK - off to fire off a hand full of emails to get several balls in the air. I will be busy sooner rather than later.... that boys and girls is a good thing - because life here is a bit too quiet and lonely.

Enjoy the sunshine!
