    Looks like I got roped into the annual “trip to Indiana” for mom’s birthday. Mom’s Birthday is Monday so we all coming together in Indianapolis. I will be taking my pain meds and passing out while my sister drives. We will be going down tomorrow and coming back Sunday. I won’t mind much since I will go to sleep and wake up when we get there! I told them I may nap a lot and need some extra time to walk places but they understood. Worst case scenario, I will go back to the hotel and sleep.

    MC, they won’t mind if you nap or walk slow. They will just be happy that you are there. Cherish spending your mom’s birthday with her because, I can say from experience, there will come a day when you just wish so hard that on her birthday you could give her a hug and tell her that you love her.

    *pounding head on desk* Finally got a prescription from my NS to have MRI done before I see him next month – it’s made out in my MAIDEN NAME, MRI place won’t accept it, and NS isn’t back in his office until the 30th (he stopped by to pick up messages & sign stuff like that). I TOLD the woman I talked to that my name had changed & the envelope the paperwork came in had my correct last name.

    Can’t anything be easy? I’ve had this last name for almost 4 years, for heaven’s sake. Luckily my head is dramatically better than it was a week ago, but come on.

    On a brighter note, it’s still a lovely sunny day in the Big Apple.

    Hope the fine weather holds and that Irene bypasses all inhabited areas.

    Kilroy – sorry the secretarial system at your NS has let you down. As it was their error is there any chance they can put it right on Monday? They should be able to contact the MRI place and explain it was their error.

    I’m hoping so, PM, but things may be a bit upended here first part of next week because of the hurricane that’s supposed to roar through this weekend. I’m hoping it’s as simple as having the NS office call the MRI place (pretty please).

    I should be used to this sort of thing, nothing is ever easy in NYC.

    How are you today, PM? How’s the weather where you are?

    Well I’m off now to shop and go home! Tomorrow Will and I will be going to see the Rockstar Energy Drink Monster Jam, yes it’s a wonderful distraction! Hopefully Irene says away till I’m home and parked but with my luck lately I will get washed way, down the Susquehanna River to the Chesapeke Bay, then the Atlantic Ocean!

    Stay safe everyone, if I have to, so do you!!!

    Gizzy’s Uncle’s family (mom, step dad, brother and family) are all directly in the path of Irene (southern NJ). We are hoping and praying that all will be well for them and all those around them. Fortunately, they are not in a position where storm surge will be a factor, just wind and rain. It’s very frustrating to be 3000 miles away.

    It’s been very wet again today, Kilroy. Heavy rainstorms interspersed with brief sunny intervals. It was so dark at lunchtime we had to turn the lights on!

    Apart from fairly severe rust I’m fine. It’s almost the end of the Summer Holidays now and I am contemplating a return to work. For the first time in 8 years I’m not really looking forward to it. It’s very sad, but the management has rather soured my outlook recently. I’m hoping that the children will restore my enthusiasm once I get back to work.

    Oh dear, PM. I hope the school year is better than you’re expecting and that you have a wonderful and challenging bunch of students to enjoy.

    Peeking in to wish all in storm’s path to have a safe and sane weekend. Wishes for feeling better to those in need and the rest to have a better than expected next couple of days. As for me, headed to meet up w/niece and an old friend for 1 more shared meal as toast for Di’s pending new home in Fl! Take care, see you on “moanday”! Hey Tux, be a good kit too, smooch!

    I was just reading a story about the worst-case hurricane scenario for NYC (yikes!) and it ended with a great quote, “You can always tell a New Yorker, but you can’t tell him very much” 🙂 Unfortunately, in this case experts are afraid some New Yorkers won’t listen to warnings because they think they’re tough & have seen everything.

    Me, I’m going home and hiding under the covers. Stay safe everyone.

    Good idea, Kilroy! Hide Georgie, too – and don’t forget to get cat food!

    Will do, GD. Technically I think we have enough to get through next week, but that’s if we use the stuff he doesn’t like, so I’ll stop & get the good stuff on the way home.

    Yep, New Yorkers have quite the reputation, don’t they, Kilroy? 🙂

    Interesting, many roads coming from the shore are or will be closing south and east so all lanes will lead away from the beaches. Oh and, unprecidented – the Garden State Parkway is waving all tolls! There’s a big giant DUH, thank goodness!

    Time for me to head out; I’ll check in when I can but don’t panic if you don’t hear from me until Monday, OK?

    Nah, we’ll panic anyway, Kilroy! And glad to hear you’re getting Georgie food. He’ll have enough to deal with with a hurricane, he doesn’t need icky food he doesn’t like thrown in 🙂

    May all who are in the path of Irene be safe…

    Today’s kitten is very beautiful, RIP PawPaw.
