Make sure to let Caleb know.
My first BF’s birthday is August 28. I have to stop and think whether my daughter’s and niece’s is April third or fourth, but yeah… (I ran into one of the first BF’s “annoying little brothers” at the fairgrounds last night. He’s a captain with the fire department now, does disaster rescue/recovery, makes balloon sculptures for the little kids at fire safety demonstrations. I still think of him as a little barbarian, wrestling over control of the Atari or spying on his eldest brother trying to steal a smooch from me! Funny how elastic time seems, isn’t it?)
I have achieved sanitary kitchen and bathrooms. Go Me! Dindin has also been prepped. A sammich has been ingested. Chill ensues.
Happy Hump Day!
It’s a beautiful day outside.
I think I may have saved my patchouli plant. I held it upside down and let it drain muddy water into my hand.
Lots to do today, cleaning and laundry. Lots of laundry.
YAY! for vacation Sunny Lucky you!
I’d love to try with another cat but Sah-son is not thrilled with the idea. I think this cat really soured him on cats, he worked harder at being friends than I did. I’m hoping when we take the cat back that he will go back into the cat room and fall in love with one.
I also told friend any evening this week is okay, but Moonday was out. I didn’t say why, but partly because I didn’t feel like straightening up the house, mostly though, because Sah-son had a paper due Moonday night and I promised him I’d be there for him. He likes to bounce ideas off me, and then read it to me to see if there are any awkward or unclear sentences.
Peaches - you make me tired just reading your posts.
I had some steamed shrimp for lunch, left over from yesterday.
I’m still hungry, but I don’t know what I want.
The drawing from hell came back to haunt me. I’m trying to fix it, but it takes for-freekin’-ever to go from one page to another. I was almost done, or so I thought, and now I’m back to futzing around again. <headdesk>
Two more days… Two more days…
But then they politely ask you to put your pants back on? 
Moooom, you’ve flung a fried chicken craving on me. I may have to stop at Bojangles or Popeye’s this weekend.
peaches, I’m assuming that you noshed on some deep-fried-food-on-a =tick at the fair?
Back to irk on special projects again today, although there was some of the regular stuff too. Last night, I got an invite to a debate watching party this evening at MTSU. I think I will go but take my own wheels in case it gets stupid (again).
**Red **- the kicker is: I’m not much into fried chickie, but my spousal unit likes the way they make it at this restaurant. I like their steamed shrimp and sweet N.O.T. fries - guess what I’ll be ordering! 
Waiting for drawing-from-hell to print. It’s still compiling or whatever process has to take it from the screen to paper. Then I have to save it as a PDF and each of the 9 sheets has to be saved as a .DWG before I can declare it done. This really is ridiculous.
FCM and Sunny, you know the best things about your vacations? You don’t have to listen to the political news for a week or so.
Peaches, I haven’t been to county/state fair in a long time, I think I’ll have to check the web and see what is going down (probably next year) here in North Ali-bama.
Lawn has been mowed in time for the (predicted) rain tomorrow, and Tru-Green called to say they will be out do whatever I pay them $$$ to do. And then Purple Heart called and I promised to leave a bag or two of ‘stuff’ out for them on Tuesday. And signed up to referee four soccer games this weekend, along with coaching two games.
And that’s enough effort for the day, nappage may shortly ensue.
**MetalMouse **- believe me, I’m looking forward to the respite from political crap. **FCD **is hooked on the whole trainwreck - he’s apt to go thru some serious withdrawals.
My drawing finally printed. Now I’m waiting for the .PDF to be created. lalalalalalalala
I haven’t been around here in a while. Been feeling too bad. No end in sight.
Early dindin has been ingested. I cooked just enough for OYKW to have some for N.O.L. tomorrow. Go Me! In a bit I shall head over to the church house for Evening Prayer. OYKW says he’s stayin’ in tonight. He had a long day that started at six a.m. so I do not blame him, poor thing.
{{{Midget}}} hope everything is better soonest. You can always come unload in here. That is a part of what we are here for.
I should not read this thread when hungry.

Back from Kevin’s - I think they overcharged us but it was so crazy busy, I didn’t check our bill carefully. We’ll try again after maybe things settle down a bit.
I shall go back and start packing shortly. Countdown continues apace!

I made meatball sandwiches for dinner.
Well, I dumped some meatballs in a pot and poured in some spaghetti sauce - creamy vodka. I have hot dog rolls from the bakery at Weis, and there you go - meatball sandwiches. Their hot dog rolls aren’t so good with hotdogs, but they are good with meatballs or hotdog shaped hamburgers.
I think it’s time to get an exterminator. I don’t know if I can take on squirrels.
I told Sah-son we need a normal dog. Sah-dog never chased anything, and my mastiff before him never did either. They both have/had a live-and-let-live philosophy. When I had the mastiff, the cat two doors up used to come knock on the door for him to come out and play. The groundhog lived on the back yard in peace with them for years.
Nope, I need a normal dog, a yappy, hell bent on destroying anything that invades his/her turf kind of dog.
**sari **- that sounds like a pug!
I’m just about packed. One more pair of sneaks, plus toiletries and meds, and I think I’ll have it all. I think. C’mon, Saturday!!
My M.D.says that my calf cramps (while lying in bed) are caused by dehydration.
metal mouse, if you don’t mind driving a couple of hours, this county fair is most excellent. https://www.wilsoncountyfair.net/ It actually eclipses the Tennessee state fair both in attractions and attendance.
Moooom, it sounds like you may be a political widow the first week that you’re back.

I’m not going to the debate party. The noob from irk that is looking for an apartment swung by after she got finished at the office. We sat out on the patio with drinks and talked for an hour (I think she was looking for a mother figure). I’m just now sitting down to supper.
Howdy Y’all! Home from Evening Prayer over to the church house. We had our largest crowd yet since startin’ up again last month. Maybe folks are startin’ to wander back now.
OK, off to surf teh intartoobz for a bit.
Worked, and did a 220 scan rate which is well above average, but I just never got into it today. I blame it on the weather.
It’s a setup from a cheesy sitcom. We’re at dinner meeting the new girlfriend and she doesn’t seem to know she’s the new girlfriend, but it’s hard to tell because she doesn’t speak English, either. She is married though, that’s evidence against being the new girlfriend.
It’s going to be a long evening. Bottoms up!
