Friday at irk is, well Friday at irk. Won’t know until this afternoon if I will be coming into the office on Monday. blurf Going to see Avengers 3 tonight I think. Should be a hoot. After all of this gardening talk it makes me want to go putter in my yard, and I am a terrible gardener! I think I’m going to plug into my Audible book now and do some knitting. ---

Morning irk is done and I’m eating some soup. Have to go out in a bit and go to the bank and store and pick up an _Edible Arrangement_ for my mother for Mother’s Day. She’s getting it today instead of Sunday. I’m still debating, I may just go ahead and pay to have it delivered, more of a surprise that way. I feel kind of bad because we have been arguing a lot the last few days. ---

Pouring rain, thunder and lighting here in Houston today. Severe weather warnings coming in on my phone. Moved my car in off the street up into the driveway… back yard is almost all flooded now. \<\_\< Hope it clears up soon because I have a counseling session at 1:30pm! ---

**doggio** , don’t you recognize the message from the mothership? It says you’re to send me the largest case of Lindt truffles you can find. No, really, that’s what it says! (Ya think he’ll buy that?) ---

Oh, yeah, lunch break. I’ve finished the bed around the first tree, but I think I’ll need to buy more mulch. We shall see. Meanwhile, my back needs a break. ---

Last day before the road trip. Not packed. Desk not clear. I think I have all the fires put out, though. And I buying two pairs of shoes last night was easier than I expected. (It’s a road trip to a wedding.) I’ll be sane later. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > [The Braxtons](http://www.wetv.com/shows/braxton-family-values) just because I think you should know. 😃 I’ll have you know that I went to the same high school as Toni Braxton. Of course there was 20 years between us. The closest I’ve ever been to a celebrity was Frank Zappa’s aunt. She used to come into the bank where I worked. I suppose it says something, although I’m not sure what, that I was the only person in the branch who knew who Frank Zappa was. ---
