Whiny three year old....not so much.

Scarab Sages

I'll admit, though, the little shit has a good memory.

Caught on the last hour or so of I, Robot last night. While I know it's nowhere near matching the literature it's based on, I still enjoy the movie and find it to be one of Will Smith's better performances. It's one of those flicks I can watch over and over again.

it was a damn interesting movie.

New baby gate installed.

Scarab Sages

Also, bird house nearly complete. It may not look perfect, but it'll work.

Scarab Sages

I think today may be a grilling day. But...what to grill?

Scarab Sages

Steaks?

Scarab Sages

Sausage?

Scarab Sages

Chicken?

Scarab Sages

Burgers?

Scarab Sages

Hot dogs?

Scarab Sages

1 person marked this as a favorite.

All of the above?

Scarab Sages

I must also visit the grocery store soonish. I usually go on Saturday, but didn't feel like it yesterday.

Scarab Sages

Poor George. But he's got the voice of Megatron to back him up. So there's that.

Scarab Sages

Sadly, I do not have a tree big enough for the boy to build a tree house in.

Scarab Sages

I'll have to see about getting him a big wooden playset.

Scarab Sages

Anyway, time to get a move on. I'm burning daylight.

Scarab Sages

Grocery shopping accomplished with no problems. Picked up some pre-seasoned chicken and grilled it up for dinner last night.

Scarab Sages

Also, I really need to find an orthopedic specialist.

Scarab Sages

On the bright side, I was in Walgreens last night picking up some laundry soap. When I walked through their Halloween section, I found a non-foam headstone - the solid, somewhat heavy kind I prefer. So that's my first addition to the decorations for this year. I'll probably also picked up a light or two for my garden area.

Scarab Sages

And the boy has been excitedly speaking of Halloween lately. He's even got ideas of what he wants to be, and it's been consistently a comic book hero.

I have done something right!

Thank you for feeding us hungry yard rodents. When the Nuttening comes, we'll acorn you last.

Thankfully, we only need one so far, at the top of the stairs. That's all we ever had for Charlie in Philly.

But I had to get this one installed today because the wife was niece sitting, and little Pie is only 2-1/2 or so. She can easily get up the stairs, but not down them.

Yesterday, it ended up being pre-seasoned chicken breasts. Big ones - like from the Dolly Parton of chickens.

Tonight it was hot Italian sausage, peppers, onions, and zucchini.

Scarab Sages

Yes, I have become a grilling fiend.

Actually, between my two bird feeders, I've had so many small birds hanging in my backyard a local hawk has decided it's a fast food joint.

I watched one more episode of Agents of SHIELD then I should have last night. Didn't go to be until a little after 11 pm, and baby girl woke us up at 2 am. Was on and off awake for the next 2+ hours, then got up at 5 to get ready for work.

Gonna be a looong day.

Scarab Sages

Also, my shoulder is still hurting.

Scarab Sages

But, hey! There's coffee! And no meetings scheduled for today. So I've got that going for me.

Yesterday was a co-worker's birthday. I paid for his lunch. Huzzah for me. Plus - fried shrimp basket. Mmmmmm.....

Oh yeah, my baby girl did a bit of crawling yesterday.

Scarab Sages

One cup of coffee down. Not sure how many I'll have today. I've been trying to keep myself to no more than three cups a day.

Scarab Sages

I often fail miserably.

Scarab Sages

The wife has a job interview with a company called Weatherford today. Yesterday she had a very positive phone interview with someone from Chevron. That set up another interview for next week - one she is very excited about.

Scarab Sages

The boy showed up in our room at 0430.

Scarab Sages

Ah well, time to get busy.

Scarab Sages

Or at least pretend to.

Scarab Sages

Busy day yesterday, but lots accomplished.

Scarab Sages

No.....seriously!

Scarab Sages

Plus, there was a dentist visit. Afterwards, there was much rejoicing.

Scarab Sages

And, some semi-good news on the "my dad" front - my mom is going to get hospice help with bathing him and such. Plus his medicines and some other necessary supplies. And they brought over a "just in case" wheel chair.

Medicaids going to cover it all, which really surprised me. But it's gonna really help mom, so that's all I really care about.

Scarab Sages

Interesting that the phone autocorrected it to "hospice hell".......

Scarab Sages

And my lead designer got into another argument with the weaselly little bastard who's trying to replace him. I keep telling him to try and keep his temper, that the dudes trying to push his buttons, but he won't listen.

Scarab Sages

Also, baby girl crawled about 4 feet yesterday.

Scarab Sages

I've heard people say about babies getting mobile "oh, now it gets interesting/crazy/hectic". That's load of horse shit! Life gets more of that as soon as baby starts growing. It's just the style of interesting/crazy/hectic that changes.

Scarab Sages

Wife woke me up this morning as she was getting out of bed to go to the bathroom. I thought to myself "if it's close to my alarm going off, I can turn it off now and get going a few minutes early".

Then my alarm went off.

Scarab Sages

I really want a bidet.
