Wore my (black) suede shoes again today. Is it supposed to rain? Why, yes, yes it is. :smack: No steppin’ on 'em, they’re not blue. 😃

I think my Easter-chocolate-buying-spree is over for this year. 😛

And now back to the things I wanted to accomplish today.

Iffn you do your erranding @ Wally World, you don’t need to waste time doing silly things like putting on other clothing.

Groceries are stowed, the load of whites is being washed, and I think I’ll warm me up some leftover sketties for lunch. When you have breakfast before 6, you’re starving by 11…

Motels, various food places, eye glasses at some locations. Bed and food are the two we use the most. My Google-fu is weak this morning but somewhere there is a partial list on-line and some places not on that list still offer a discount if you ask.  
Rescheduled the car for next Tuesday and asked Herself to remind me. That ups my chances a lot.

Morning irk shift is over, time for some N.O.L., and then back to the grind.  
I need to straighten up around the house a bit as well.

I watch a lot of crime shows and a lot of time the police will search a house and say this or that is out of place. I think how do they know? One of the things mentioned last night that hand lotion was on the table next to the couch. I keep hand lotion next to the couch. My hands get dry, I have lotion next to the bed and next to the sinks.  
I can’t remember some of the other things mentioned, but I think if the police ever search my house they are going to have a lot of fun figuring out why everything is out of place.

That would be cool lol  
I hope the police never have to search my house but one never knows.

Actually I have kept a roll of TP in the side table when I run out of tissues.

Or lots of power tools in the kitchen. Something about a chain saw next to the sink that makes the average police officer just go “Huh”.

Survey says… I have two knees full of arthritis. Meniscus and ligaments are OK, but cartilage is about 80-90% gone. For now, the plan is to try injections of some sort of gel that aims to improve the internal cushioning.

Dindin has been shoved down our throats. OYKW wants ice cream but there is none. :eek: He’s debatin’ whether or not he wants to put on goin’ out in the public clothes. Yeah, yeah, if I were nice I would, but I don’t have a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for ice cream.

**MOOOOOOM** roasted farts? I’ve heard of lit farts but never one bein’ roasted.
