Didn’t matter that it wouldn’t buy dinner at the Olive Garden, I was just happy to get money for nothing (chicks for free were not included).

They might need to replace some plywood, which they won’t know until they rip the shingles off. ---

**Mooooom** , in addition to home haircuts provided by my Aunt Faye, I was the [del]victim[/del] subject of being lined up with the boys once when Mom got tired of fussing with my waist length curly hair when I was six. To have been called a Pixie would have been kinder than it deserved. 😛 I got three inches lopped off and I must say, it looks good and feels great. There’s a load of laundry in the washer and a salad and leftover Italian wedding soup for supper. ---

I made [basil chicken curry with lime](http://atasteofthai.com/print_recipe.php?id=171) tonight, speaking of cheap. I found it to be meh, as I do curry. Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) liked it. Lunch for me tomorrow will be leftover meh. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from men’s night over to the church house. Once again more people showed up than I anticipated so the emergency steak knives had to be procured. Not a problem, mind you, just had to go into the sekrit hidden stash. They are that because at one time we had plenteous knives and then a bunch kinda disappeared. Thus, when more were brought, I bought and donated some more that comprise the sekrit stash. **docaway** one of my favorite all time people who passed away two years ago at the age of ninety three loved bourbon and ginger ale. So much so that at t he gatherin’ after his funeral, that was the signature drink served in his honor. I like to think that he watched and loved every minute of that. OYKW is already abed. He was tahrd, poor thing. I shall join him shortly as I feel tahrdness will ensue shortly. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

I got my backroom organized, good thing since inventory is in 3 weeks. Glad I filled up the truck yesterday. Since that pipeline shut down on Friday, most of N.C. is out of gas. > [@missred](#): > > the bald guy cut, if you don’t want it down to the scalp, takes a #2 guard (thanks Dad and Grandpa! 😛 ) Good to know, since the ol’ hairline is retreating faster than a French army. > [@missred](#): > > I got three inches lopped off if you were a dude, :eek:[sup]100[/sup][sup][sup]10[/sup][/sup] **doacaway** , I prefer tequila, or a good rum(just the thing for ITLAPD:D). ---

If you are mixing the bourbon into the ginger ale **BURN HERETIC!!!** Whiskeys should never be mixed with other liquids except in the human stomach. Or mine for that matter. ---

Good day at work, aside from a normally nice teammate having a competitive hissy because I happened to be having an unusually good/lucky day. OTOH, I’m now doing a factory reset and rebuild on my phone. Burger King will be delivering dinner soon. Whether yesterday was Cheeseburger Day or today is, this is when we’re observing it. Yes, I added bacon to mine. 🙂 ---

Bad news: Littlest Miss found a bottle of glitter in her sister’s room. We are infested. Bad news/good news: I’ve been exceptionally puny lately. Upper respiratory crud that has lingered for 3 weeks, and a different awful virus a few weeks ago. Exhausted. TMI stuff associated with being a woman of a certain age. Hot flashes. Depression ranging from “I can’t even” to “hide the ammo, please.” Aches and pains. I am very dense. Finally realized tonight that I’m almost certainly quite anemic. I ought to know the symptoms - not my first rodeo. But at least I’m 98% sure that some supplements and better care of my diet will take care of most of these issues. Hooray! (Unless Web MD is correct, in which case I have lupus or Stage 7 cuticle cancer. And it’s never lupus.) ---

So much for thinking I’d sleep all night. I barely made it to 10, and then I woke up at 1:30 which was 2 and half hours ago. My body just doesn’t want to let me sleep. Until it’s time to get up for irk, then I sleep real well. ---

Apparently \*\*FCD \*\*was either a place kicker or a Rockette in his dreams, because about 3:30 this morning, he kicked me. :eek: Needless to say, it disturbed my repose, and I spent most of the next hour anna half listening to his breathing and keeping my legs as far away as I could. He’d have nice, relaxed, gentle breathing, then someone would start chasing him and the twitching and panting would start. Put that on top of not falling asleep till after 11, and you can imagine my demeanor this morning. _\_ So it’s another freekin’ day in Paradise. And 32 days till vacation - yes, I’m counting. 😃 Happy Tuesday! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 71 Amurrkin out and, well, dark, but I do believe 'tis cloudy with a predicted high of 92 and sunny for the day. So, it could be a nice, sunny, warm day or we could have a blizzard. Since TWPTB cannot predict weather as of late, I would not be surprised. I shall clean the kitchen and bathrooms today and make death chikin for dindin. So far that’s all the plans for the day. **{{{Peaches}}}** feel better soonest! And now this… \ CLEARIN’ THROAT \ \*\* HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!! HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!!
