So my friend the other day told me that when I go to make my coffee this morning (I have a coffee maker...I prefer it over the instant stuff) to add a little nutmeg and cinnamon to the grounds and mix in then brew...So I did...Let me say my coffee tastes AMAZING this morning! (Added milk and sugar) I'm hooked! Why didn't I think of this before!?!? :D

Also, got into work with my mug of amazingness to have my co-worker share some homemade tea bread with me...So now I'm sitting here with to amazing things going in my tummy!!

Happy Autumn to me indeed!!  ;D

A friend of mine suggested once that I put a chai tea bag in the pot as it brews and that's actually really awesome, too. More or less the same concept--add spices to the coffee for yumminess. :)

I got to FEEL my plumber's arm & shoulder muscles this afternoon.  He's well fit.  Be still my 48-year-old beating heart!!

Okay, he'd fallen hard off a ladder in our back garden & onto a stone wall.  Cut his finger up & sort of twisted onto his arm & shoulder.  We patched his cut up.  Then he took off his shirt  :o -- and we made sure nothing broken, no bad bruises coming up or anything that needed to be iced down.  All seems okay but I think he'll hurt tomorrow.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes should probably have put it there (IA/UP) instead -- still reeling from the WOW those are serious muscles factor!!

Poor fellow, he said his arm is hurting lots more now - he prob needs to go have it checked out.  :(

If he's still hurting tomorrow, won't that mean you will have to have him remove his shirt to re-inspect?  ;D

That is an excellent point! Alas, I will be away on my last day at work tomorrow.  :(

If that had happened to me, I'd have probably said something really awkward that I thought was funny and realise it was an innuendo, got horrified by what I'd said, try to run away, trip, accidentally spill lemonade in his cut , pass out  at the sight of his blood, wake up, go for ice then drop ice in his lap, go to he;[ retrieve the ice, end up getting embarrassed at where my hands  were, recoil, hit my head on something and pass out again.

You are TOO COOL!

Except I wouldn't miss last day for the world! It's only when someone leaves that you actually are appreciated - there'll be gifts & a speech, etc.  I'll need to go get some food for everyone, but that'll be on the clock.  And I'll have my exit interview (slate time!) - ha ha, no I won't be burning my bridges, not very much anyway...  ;)

You are TOO COOL!

Ha ha - thanks!  :)  I sort of have a 'first aid crisis mode' I go into - as long as there isn't a copious quantity of blood (in which case I'd pass out, but a little blood I can do).  I think it's owing to a) having had a nurse for a mom, and b) all the times I had to pick up & patch up my mom from her many bad falls.

At first, the tiler guy and I just thought it was part of the cast iron soil pipe (being removed) that crashed to the ground & then we realised it was the part of the soil pipe, the ladder, and the plumber himself.

After it was all said & done and his shirt was back on & he went back to work, then I had a hyperventilating delayed reaction to it all - thinking, my god he's/that was HOT!

Spray paint guy is getting arrested tonight! Spray paint guy is getting arrested tonight!  [smiley=balloon.gif] [smiley=bootyshake.gif] [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] [smiley=laugh4.gif] [smiley=smash.gif]

Also, it would appear that he's tagged so many cars over past few months that it amounts to 4 felonies. What an idiot!  ;D
