We were going to have breakfast in Leonardtown, but thereā€™s some kind of festival going on and the square is blocked off. Instead, we went to Cracker Barrel, and then to Loweā€™s. Iā€™ve got a can of wasp spray - those damned yellow jackets will DIE DIE DIE DIE!!! I just need a non-rainy, cool evening and theyā€™re toast! Little bastards! On the way home, we swung by the little store and I picked up my check for August sales - a whopping $43 and change! Iā€™ve sold 4 sets of critter crayons - I need to make up some more. The dinosaurs seem to be popular, so yay! Meanwhile, itā€™s raining, so I wonā€™t be doing any weeding and seeding. I could crochet, or hem and stencil some tea towels, or melt some crayonsā€¦ decisions, decisionsā€¦ ---

**Moooom** , if you canā€™t get rid of the wasps on your own , the bug man should be able to help. When I had some build a nest on my back deck, thatā€™s who apartment management sent. **doggio** , hook Gordie up to a treadmill to see how much power he generates. šŸ˜ƒ You could have a way around those pesky electric bills. šŸ˜› The band was good last night. It was the first time Iā€™d heard them in a 21 and up place. They included some of the bawdier Irish drinking songs that I usually donā€™t get to hear them play. šŸ™‚ ---

I made brekkie. We et it up. Then went back to sleep for a bit. Nice, lazy Sattidy! ā€˜Tis still raininā€™ but it looks like the rain will soon be gone. Unless more shows up. Who knows. **MOOOOOOM** we canā€™t go to the cee-mint pond while itā€™s raininā€™. Weā€™ll get our hair all wet! šŸ˜ƒ Howdy **StickyBuns**! **doggio** put some dust rags on Gordieā€™s paws and let him run around. He expends energy and dusts the place at the same time! Win-Win! OYKW wants those disgustinā€™ yet oh so nummy Jimmyā€™s hotdawgs for N.O.L. Ifā€™n he has a desire to drive to downtown Albeeeeny and get 'em. Iā€™m all for it. Otherwise, not so much. ---

Happy Saturday! Rainy and cool outside. Nice sleeping weather, I didnā€™t wake up until 10am and only then because the of the alarm that tells me when to take my pills. I hate taking pills. One of the things of youth I miss. I could walk out the door with nothing but a comb and my keys. Howdy back at you **Sticky** Much to do so I need to get busy. ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > Iā€™m up and caffeinated. I dropped a coffee bean, and Gordie ate it, so now I have a caffeinated giant Jack Russell Terrier. Donā€™t they come naturally caffeinated anyway? šŸ™‚ Trying to get my brain booted up for irk (closing shift today). Spent a lot of yesterday Nyquiled out, which does seem to have helped. Still a bit congested, and was noticing some odd popping/crackling sensations in my sinuses, but feeling a good deal better than I was. ---

Looks like our rain may be over. Or there will be a round two in a while. The weather PTB are all up in the air about this. So, the poke loin is marinatinā€™, the N.O.T. sallit is made, the baked beans are ready to be baked in a little while, and garlic bread is ready to be toasted up. Go Me!

Early supper, since we didnā€™t have lunch. I found a couple of burgers in the freezer. Weā€™ll probably be starving later, but we were starving now. Our life is such a challenge. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Houston, we have a problem. My MiL has been with us since the beginning of June. She had a heart attack after she arrived, and had bypass surgery. The thing is, sheā€™s feeling better, so sheā€™s bored. When sheā€™s bored, weā€™re all driven crazy. I took the car to get washed last weekend. I had everything arranged in the garage that I had taken out, so I could easily put everything back. Kleenex pack and book lights for the backseat, etc. I got back and she had moved it all. My daughter wants to lock her room, so her grandmother canā€™t go in and re-arrange/lose things. And nowā€¦ I just commenced reclinage and noticed that sheā€™s using yarn from my current afghan project to crochet something. :mad: Time for her to go homeā€¦ ---
