_ **Baker and Nathan** _. Healing vibes and prayers always. \*\*Doggioo \*\* Sorry about car woes and empty wallet. This too shall pass. **Red** are you Vegan or just thoughtful? Tahred. Bout to call it a day. TGIF tomorrow. Happy St Patty’s day. Must remember to wear green lest I get pinched and give someone a black eye. ---

\*\*gotti \*\*- seriously?? Did they ask for a note from your Mommy saying you’re allowed to buy your own house? :dubious: Third terrible night in a row, second commute getting stuck behind an idiot who prefers to stay 10MPH below the limit on a narrow, dark road with limited passing opportunities.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 33 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of \ 69! \ for the day and N.O.S. No big plans for the day except to head over to the church house around fiveish this afternoon to do prep stuff for the big feast tomorrow. Long John Silver’s will provide fish 'n chips for dindin cause, well, why not. I have a couple errands I need to take care of so that might happen. **gotti** mortgage companies be weird. So glad I don’t have a mortgage anymore. I envision goin’ from da cave to the home just to avoid another one. 😃 OK, I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then I suppose I should purtify and get on with the day. **ERIN GO BRAGH!!!** Happy Firday Y’all! ---

LUNCH TIME!!! And boy howdy do I need the break. Much busyness has ensued. The morning has gone fast, and I’m counting on as much for the afternoon. Lunch is the last of the soup I made last week. Yum to the last drop! 😃 ---

Cormed beef and cabbage from the cafeteria for lunch. NUM. **Gentle {{{hugs}}} to Nathan and Cupcakes.** ---

Had a good lunch of corned beef and cabbage. Considering the other various things I’ve eaten this week, you do NOT want to carpool with me. But on the good side, running out of gas should be no issue. So far mother is going along with Beloved Brother but there is some pass-along stress anyway. Her mental state is to the point that he basically has to sneak out of the house to call me. I got a feeling that is push comes to shove he’ll freeze me out altogether to get her to cooperate but I’m fine with that. All I care about is she gets to a safer situation for herself for what years she has left. There is one thing left of Dad’s I would fight to get but other than that I can survive being the Anti-Christ. ---

**Baker** , how’s **Nathan** feeling today? In case anybody had any doubt, I am a dog person. I like dogs better than most people. Made chicken pot pie yesterday (thanks **Red** ). It was really good except I did something wrong and it never did thicken up properly. We ate it anyway. 😃 For the first time in forever I am actually cooking corned beef and cabbage, (and potatoes, and carrots) in the crock pot. I just had a hankerin’. I didn’t realize until I put the meat in the crockpot this morning how many extra chemicals they had put into the roast. I hope there aren’t any undesirable side effects (/ drug advertisement announcer’s voice.) **Ruble** , as one black sheep to another, you can learn to live without your family, but it’s hard sometimes. You have my sympathy. ---
