Blurf. Got up an hour ago, about 5 hours earlier than normal. So, we _were_ going to go see E.T. at the makeshift drive-in theater on Saturday, but when we got there, the place was packed, the screens were nowhere close to our car, and we didn’t feel like sitting on a blanket in front of the screen. So instead we returned to downtown, and caught _Minions_ at the visitors center. That was okay too. Mom, my friend Alex, her daughter, and I all had a good time… even though Alex-offspring was spoiling all the plot points towards the end. Happy Moanday, everybody! ---

Up, caffienating, waiting for the polls to open so I can beat [DEL]all[/DEL] most of the old people in Apple County to get in line. Oh good, I remembered the code to strikethrough text here. Coffee works! ---

We have a drive-in theater near us that shows first-run movies. They open around the first weekend of spring and close around the first weekend of fall. I wish they’d open Halloween weekend for a creature feature, but I guess it’s not worth opening for just that one weekend. My follow-up appointment with the orthopedist is this afternoon. He’ll unwrap my leg, take out the stitches/staples/whatever else held my skin together, give me a boot and let me know if I can go back to irk. If I can, fine. If I can’t, fine. I just need to know one way or the other. ---

One of my terrible book reviews (as in the book was terrible, not my review) on Goodreads just got a comment. This is the last paragraph of the review: > [@](#): > > Eventually Marianne gets pregnant and tries to cheat on Jewel by raping the thirteen-year-old “half-wit” of the tribe (I guess it’s contagious). At this point I gave up on any hope of this book ever making any kind of good sense. Jewel hits Marianne a couple of times and this is portrayed as worse than any of the raping. The third time he hits her, she puts a “curse” on him and he dies in a suicide rescue mission. When she learns that Jewel is dead, Marianne declares that she will become the “Tiger Queen” and rule the tribe with an iron fist. Suuuuuuuuuure she is. The girl that everyone in the tribe hates, the girl that has people making signs to ward off the evil eye whenever they see her, the girl who can’t even take care of herself in the wild, she is going to be the next leader of the tribe. She’s going to be left for the mutants to eat in a week. This is the comment someone just posted: > [@](#): > > What happened to jewel? :smack: ---

Get my Blurf in before rosie. Ended up refereeing two games Sunday, did one then had to scramble back down to coach the kids’ game (we tied 0-0; got outplayed but our defense was stout), and then had to climb a hill to referee another game. So I’m a Norse God today: Thor all over. **Drae** , sometimes a day for vegetating is a good thing. **Rockin’** , hoping the Dr. says all is going well, but that you need to take another day off of work (best of both possible worlds). Hope **FCM** is enjoying her cruise…haven’t heard of any ship sinkings… ---

Gonna do a little cave spiffin’, go to the liberry, and have N.O.L. with a couple of friends at a local place that makes good sammiches, soups etc. Lookin’ forward to that as I have not eaten at Terry’s in a good while. **Rockin’** hope all goes well at the doc.

Not a Happy Moonday! Kitty has not come home. So most of my plans for the day will be changed to _look for cat_. I didn’t sleep well, up checking at the door and calling for him. I woke up early and designed a missing cat flyer and will have some printed. Sah-son can distribute to the neighbors. He won’t like it but tough, he can just stick them in doors if he doesn’t want to talk to people. Once everything is open I’ll call the shelter and vets offices. After it warms up a little I’ll sit out back and see if he comes around. I already registered Sah-son for his Spring 2017 classes. So that is done for the day. I just did it for him because some of the classes fill up quickly. So that is done. Irk is being irksome. They keep asking us to put in more hours because we are so busy - yet I’m hardly getting any irk at all. Probably because everybody is putting in extra hours, so the work is being divided between more people. **BigKitty** - nice video, but no it didn’t help. Every time I look at the ballot my head hurts. ---

Blurf. I is tired, I did not sleep well either. Rockin’, hope the doc sees sense and lets you get back to irk so you can stave off boredom. **(((((sari and sah-son)))))**, with any luck, kitty will have come back through the mysterious cat portal and be sitting somewhere in the house next time you try going up the stairs without putting a light on. Two days until the exam board, and only a few problem children left to deal with… ---

So the water leak from upstairs broke though the bathroom ceiling, necessitating a ceiling replacement.
