Not really. It was an hour beforehand. I think some part of my muddled brain must have just realized the reality of it. And I hope I didn’t come off as flippant. I was half-asleep, and at the time it seemed important. If I could have deleted it this morning, I would have. Current me is often disappointed with past me, and this is a prime example.
Was thinking of the Chats and wishing them well even in your dreams.
I believe it’s Happy BBBoo Day!
FCD is home. Unfortunately, I am not. In half an hour, they get in jammies, then Tobias gets a bottle and Roxy gets tablet time. And with luck I’ll get home before 9. I’m tahred…
But I do thank you all for putting up with me as I dumped my woes here. It really did help me deal. Youse guys is da bestest!
Howdy Y’all! We laundered. We slothed. We napped. We day drank. We had sup and cleanded the kitchen. I am exhausted by all this activity. Also, since I stayed up way past bedtime last night, I expect to have an early(ish) bedtime tonight.
MOOOOOOM glad BIL will be there to be with MIL. I am sure FCD will be more than happy to sleep in his own bed tonight. I agree with what others have said about lots and lots of death certificates.
Taters I hope you are able to find other employment soonest.
shoe that sounds so nummy!
Nettie, Shades and others hope all is well with all the storms.
Oopsie what an awful dream! Hope you’ve gotten over it by now.
JtC reddish, pinkish cream cheese would be OK. I just wish she’d get over the idea of red butter hearts. I guarantee it will look like one is smearin’ blood on a roll.
Happy BBBoo Day!! And welcome back from your (hopefully) brief vacation.
FCM, putting up with you is easy; since you’ve put up with us for so many years…hope BIL can cope with the changes.
Oopsie, best thing about the dream is that when you woke up Bailey was right there for you. Hope the meetings go well this week.
Got a couple things done this morning, then laid about and napped this afternoon, just felt tired. Will fix some Mac-n-Cheese here in a bit and do some other things.
I am confused on my finances; about a month ago I sent a fairly sizeable check to Tru-Green for 2023, but it was never cashed so late last week I went to the bank and put a stop payment on it. Once that was done I went online and paid the bill directly from my checking. Now Tru-Green is reflecting that they got the money OK, but my bank is not showing it against my account! That should be pretty good news, saving money at the Bank’s expense, but I have a horrible feeling it got taken from someone else’s account and they’ll be raging at the bank pretty sudden, so I’ll go back over there tomorrow and see if they can run some super-secret double-check.
Also didn’t make it to the gym, so I really need to get back into the daily mindset of going there, lest my weight loss work goes for nought.
Ok, need to take on nourishment and do some internettin’ (want to get the last suggested things for Antarctica at Wal-Mar tomorrow, so want to do some browsing tonight so I know where the stuff is). Take care all.
You just figured it out for me. Red butter hearts won’t look very romantic on Valentines day, but red butter skulls would be great for Halloween. You is certainly smarter than the average bear!
Agreed, with enthusiasm! Doddering, creaky enthusiasm, but enthusiasm!
FCM and fambly, much love and best wishes to you all.
Got nothing else to report from casa Paint.
My mother was not one to show her emotions, but after my dad died she said to me “I’ve lost my best friend.” Still makes me tear up after 15 years. I’m sure Fairy chat mom in law will feel that way for some time.
Went to a new to the area place for lunch, Which Wich. Had the cheezeboiger sandwich. It was heavenly but $11 so I will eat there once a month as a treat.
too bad they won’t let us play in it anymore …
ace, you wanting your daughter to do her next surgery with the chainsaw? <d&r>
Moooooom, I’m sorry for the loss of the man that once was your FIL and relieved that the shell of his body has been released. Hugs to you and the rest of the Chats.
bat boy, re the chocolate, I allow myself to eat ice cream outside of my home, but don’t keep it in the freezer (whatever size container that it comes in is 1 serving here). You may find yourself making rules like that.
Irked, came home, walked Nelson and et before messing around in the studio. Such excitement!
Stay safe and healthy y’all!
Even if I ignore the chocolate/sugary snacks situation, something else I should do is only eat when I am hungry. That used to be how I did it, but for some reason I’ve succumbed to cravings lately.
I don’t know what the problem the Dope is havin’, but hopefully singin’ Happy Birthday will work this time.
HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!!
HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!!
HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY DEEEAAARRR BBBBBBOOOOOO!!!
HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!!
Home at last. This is why menopause exists - women of a certain age should NOT have to deal with toddlers all the time!! I love that boy, but he flat runs me ragged some days!
My sweetie is home and while he’s still got to run his mom around to a few places, he’s not going to be staying with her, so huzzah! Maybe we can resume a semblance of normal, or what passes for normal here.
I just had a piece of toast - I didn’t have much supper and I was stahvink! Tummy is happy now. I shall assume the recline position for the balance of my awake time.
Condolences to the **Chat ** family. I know it is a relief.
Lazy day here even though I have a million things I need to do. I just don’t have any energy.
Happy Birthday Boo. I hope you have had a great day.
I napped. I dreamed there was a massive Dopefest in my apartment, and y’all were building a hanging loft in my dining nook. 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BBBOO!!!
If the cafe serves a lot of phlebotomists, that may be a feature, not a bug.
It wasn’t a stupid dream, you just love your dog. 
Yeah, a crockpot rules. Plus they come in small sizes.
Do the pet related ones, and enjoy the cruise.
No. I am a bit worried, too.
{{{{FCM}}}}
Happy Birthday to Boo!
Happy Birthday to Boo!
You brighten our dayses.
We’re glad we’ve got you!
(So stick arooouuund!) [Insert jazz hands here.]
The other day, it occurred to me your birthday was coming up, but I forgot to remember. I hope it’s been a wonderful day!
I really was. FCM is the hard-workin’, coaster-totin’, admiration-earnin’ grande dame of the MMP, and I love how much she cares about her sweetie. And FCD is SUCH a good guy. I think we were all wishing them well in our sleep.
Oopsie, I think the only cure for dreams like that is a cold, wet nose and some tail thumps.
Quick, MetalMouse, check again! The bank’s probably tossed a few more Benjamins in your account by now!
Uh, yeah, sure it was just a dream…just a dream. Don’t look behind the sofa.
Same here. Does anyone have any way to contact her?
Happy Toosday!
Happy Birthday Boo!
Chilly morning, but we didn’t go to the park.
I was going to take Echo yesterday. Ripple got excited and I told him he couldn’t go. The look on his face made me feel bad so I told him he could go.
My son had a hell of a time with Cerby. He just freaked out that he couldn’t go.
I decided no more park until everybody is healthy.
Ripple’s leg looks so bad, the crater that used to be pinball sized is now plum sized.
I wish they would do the surgery now.
It’s still not bothering him. If you didn’t see the wound, you would never know anything was wrong with him.
But it hurts to look at it, and it still smells.
Thank you all for your condolences.
Lucy dad is a good man. He TNRs the feral cats around his house, he was paying for it himself, until he found out the county will pay for it. He has bowls of food and water for them, and heated houses. He and his brother also raised his sister’s daughters, she’s a drug addict. He worked the night shift so he could be with the girls during the day while his brother worked. They did this in their 20’s, giving up partying and concerts to be parents.
He’s also gruff and curt, no nonsense, and every other word out of his mouth is’ fuck’.
Everybody loves him.
I’m sure when he is up to it, he will be out at the shelter rescuing another dog.
There are two at the daycare rescue right now that I think he would like, and somebody already paid the adoption fee for one of them.
I know it’s too soon to bring it up though.
I am so sorry about your FIL, FCM
Your poor MIL, that is a long lifetime together.
The next few days are going to be rough, I’m sure.
From last week, thank y’all for the pilling advice. I will try some of them.
Ripple is just too smart for his own good sometimes.
And Doggie, I can believe a dog can eat the ‘sandwich’ and spit the pill out.
Such brats.
What? When and why?
Worked just fine, thank you all!
