Howdy from large and in charge Thomasville, Jawja! Actually T’ville is a right purty little town. I just finished a really good Reuben with a side of also really good coleslaw. Nummy N.O.L.! Now it’s back to irk. Hopefully I shall be able to head back nawth by around twoish. **doggio and Spidey** not everyone can pilaf a good rice pun. People often risotto questionable punnin’ in these circumstances. ---

Fingers crossed, **Mooom**! **nettie** , do you have a clothesline? Catching up all of the filing crap from month end (the gift that keeps on giving). That should keep me out of the bar for a couple of days. 😃 ---

Howdy from da cave! Three down and one to go! Beastloaf, scalloped N.O.T., green beans, and rolls for dindin. Beastloaf is bakin’ as I post and smellin’ nummy. **red** I too am curious as to how one dries one’s hair with a clothesline. 😛 ---

- Happy Wednesday! Been a busy day. We’ve been having thunder boomers with lot of wind and rain. Had to run to close the windows, the floor got soaked. Been a busy day. With lot more to do. I knew this would happen - didn’t we all = I’m only surprised it took so long. My younger niece is somewhat homeless, she’s floating from home to home. She was staying with the ex (the addict who is the father of the two younger boys - the older boys are staying with their father, sometimes she stays there) and he kicked her out not even letting her get her shoes or anything. She asked my mother if she could keep a few things there so if it happens again she has access to some clothing. Mom said yes and so she and my sister showed up with a car load of stuff. Of course mom lets her, then calls and bitches to me. She told the HFH that she knows what they are trying to do and the HFH just grinned. She won’t take care of her daughter but she will dump on mom to do it. Mom told them she is moving and want stuff taken out of her house, not brought in. She called me later to tell me she told them what is what. Like it will really make a difference. ---

After I fed the [Shellies](http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/n_multifasciatus.php) baby brine shrimp, I saw four new fry. Almost tadpole like. I fed some vinegar eels, a live food smaller than BBS. Mommy herded the new babies back into their shell. Mommy, Daddy and the elder siblings are scarfing down the vinegar eels. Oh, the shame of the world! ---

Another cough-full night. This nonsense can stop any time as far as I’m concerned. \*\*FCD \*\*is making a 5-day weekend, and I’m letting him sleep in - I’m sure I disturbed his sleep all night. All I ask is 7 or 8 uninterrupted hours - is that too much??? _\_ We don’t appear to have gotten any rain overnight, so I’m dragging the sprinkler to the end of the yard. My azaleas were looking really sad yesterday - very thirsty. So they’ll get a couple of hours of drink this morning. Beyond that, I can’t plan - I’m just too tahred. Sick sucks. Happy Thursday anyway. ---

Up and caffeinated, off today. I shall go and watch practice, then vacuum. The new neighbors go to work at 0630. I know this, because Gordie barks me awake every day at that time.

I’ve got a job! Drafter IV starting on 22 Sep - tho not sure why they’d start me on a Tuesday. And the pay fell within the range I told the headhunter I wanted, so yay! I’m almost employed!
