The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Sort of...I was at work at six thirty this morning.

And my pager keeps going off because people are slacking off on checking the helpline voicemail.

I’m feelin’ cranky...

Heh...mostly I'm just annoyed that I didn't just get my two hours without work following me.

... And there are some minor politics going on with me, as usual, caught in the middle. In the workplace, I is France, and I don't like it. Nothing series...just general moodiness on both sides, but...anyway...

So, I came home ‘spectin’ to get to start painting ‘cause I sent Jr. a text message that said “did you caulk?”

He said he did. When I got home and looked I said “can you tell me exactly ~where~ you caulked?”

“On the seam between the boards, I forgot where else.

So, I caulked and taped and will start painting Thursday night (choir tomorrow night).

At least I found out the toilet is leaking...

But since I got home, I also...fixed the air purifier filter, fed the fish, did a load of dishes, did two loads of laundry and got Luke and myself dinner (Mrs. is on her way out of town fer business).

I’m just sayin’ is all...

OK, you win.

I did make it to Office Depot and Value Village for a few things I needed, and fed the dog. But that’s kind of a pathetic list, I guess...

I was here all day and didn’t get that much done.

I cleaned stalls. I fed animals. I still have to do that again.

I’m just tired today.

I can’t find my cat grass seeds. Perhaps I should bring in some crabgrass.

I don’t think the weather has been very inspiring, for one.

I actually got a lot done at work, though I dunno that I could quantify it that well.
