Last week sucked, plain and simple.

Published by Mugwug at 08:47:45 under General

Last week was a real bear. Jillian caught some sort of bug and as a result I averaged only a few hours sleep a night. With Jillian constantly waking up and trying to climb into our bed, our efforts to return her to her bed, our eventually caving and allowing her to climb into our bed in the feeble hopes that it would allow a few hours of sleep, instead receiving a few hours of uninterupted kidney kicking, eventually surrender and stumbling into the kitchen to make coffee.

On top of this, as my boss was aware I had purchased a PS3 on Tuesday I could hardly call in sick to work claiming “exhaustion”. Given the circumstances I’m not sure I would believe me.

This weekend offered a respite, as Jilly (while still suffering from the “terrrible threes”) appeared to have recovered, and we had only a few errands to run (including another long overdue family photo - distribution to immediate family to follow).

I’m thinking I need a range trip quite badly.

    Go get your range on.
    It’s been a while.
    Take a camera and maybe even write a post…

    Speaking of range trips I’ve finally blogged on my Remington 700 LTR. I don’t think I’m happy with the results and could use some constructive criticism.

    BTW, if you “really need a range trip”, I recommend reactive targets. My favorites are 2 liter bottles filled to the top with water, no air bubbles. A solid hit with a center fire rifle makes a 16 foot geyser. Use red food coloring if you need “blood”. Y’know, I never thought about it, but the costume shop around here keeps a jello mold in the shape of a brain. You could zombie out with a green jello brain fest!

    Dude, if we can co-ordinate it, I’d love to meet you at the range, maybe bring my bro, but if it’s a weekday probably not. If you had a time in mind, please email me and let me know if I can swing it. I NEED to blow some shit up!

    I’ve book Monday off for Vacation if you need a weekday and I can chip in for ammo, too. However, my guns are in long-term storage mode and I’m hesitant to get them out.

    Otherwise, I’m going to throw your advice right back at you. “Exhaustion” won’t work, but “The Trots” will.

    On calling in sick, it’s not what they believe, it’s what they can PROVE!
