You Can Never Trust A Weatherman

I don't know what the weatherman is talking about. He said
there was supposed to be sun breaks all day, but all I'm
seeing is rain and hail. You can never trust a weatherman.
You might as well just go outside and guess for yourself.
That method tends to be more accurate.

It doesn't really matter what the weather is doing,
because I had no intentions of leaving the house today
anyway. I've ensconced myself in it's quiet tranquility
and I'm not moving. Tomorrow is another story. Kiki has
her hearing test and I'm going to see if I can get my
antepartum testing done (instead of on Friday. I already
have one ultrasound on Friday, I don't need two). The
biophysical profile, I'm hoping I won't need to have done
again. Ultrasound is supposed to be safe, but two in one
day seems excessive.

I've got other errands to run tomorrow, too. With Snookums
leaving on Thursday I have to pick up his uniforms from
the tailor's, buy him new socks and underwear (and write
his name and the last 4 of his social in them. Some
sailors become thieves when they run out of clean
underwear). Then, I have to compile him a care package
with rehydratable food products and toiletries to take
with him, or he'll live off of vending machine food for
two months because he hates eating ship food.

I didn't write last night, because Snookums had me
watching Dancing With The Stars. I don't like that show,
but he's leaving soon and I wanted to spend some time with
him doing something he likes to do (other than sex. I'd
rather give a buffalo a prostate exam). It was two hours
long and after it was over, I just wanted to go to bed.
Nothing of interest is going on at this point in my life.
I can miss a night or two here and there.

Snookums is being very patient with the girls (because
he's leaving and feels bad about it, I'm not easily
fooled). I told him about my morning with Annie and
instead of going ballistic on her, because we've been
through this a million times with her and it's getting
REALLY old, he sat down with her and had a quiet
conversation. I don't know what he said to her. I was in
the kitchen making dinner, but this morning she got up,
got dressed and left for the bus clean, brushed and on
time. Hopefully this will last for more than two days.
Most interventions only have a lifespan of two days with
Annie.

Kiki is so cute. She's coloring right now and keeps
showing me the birthday cards she's making for herself.
She's still talking about her birthday, even though it was
last week. She loved getting cards from her grandparents
and carries them around like they're made of gold. Kiki is
all the companionship I need right now. Her needs are
minimal (food, a full sippy cup and the occasional diaper
change), she doesn't talk too much or ask complicated
questions. She's very enjoyable to be with. I'm going to
have to get out for some adult companionship at some
point. I know the time will come, but I'm not ready yet.
Ciao.
