My Ursala kitteh had her rabies shot last night and is feeling punky today. She didn’t stir off the bed for morning fuds and let me pick her up (which is unheard of). Poor little mite. If she’s not better tonight, back to the vet we go.

Had a little adventure this morning. Emphasis on “little”. Power went out about 9:40 ish. All the little gophers (tenants) came out of their holes (apartments) and milled around the courtyard for about an hour until the power came back on.

**red**  **sunny, swampy** , unfortunately the line as installed didn’t meet code (it was supposed to be 1" away from the roof) so the roofing folks weren’t responsible and the line has been that way since the house was built, so…$500, most of it for labor and refilling the system with coolant.

Didn’t complain much, the roof appears to have been well-done and it was $800 less than the next lowest bid, so even with this I’m still ahead–and it is comfortably cool in here now.

Waiting for the afternoon appointment to get the TV dish reconfigured. Then on to soccer practice and dinner.

Glad you got the house cooled down, **metal mouse**.

Thursday flavored blurf. I hope to find at least some of my maintenance items done when I get home. I should also have a goodie box from the Jungle either today or tomorrow.

Oscar is still with us. I don’t have the details, but there was apparently a fair bit of grumpiness in the form of “Who called the cops on me?” and “I was just kidding!”

Uh-uh. That don’t fly with me. It sounds like he was able to weasel his way out of a 5150 hold, which is disappointing. When you’re approximately 50 years old, you should know that crying wolf is a really bad idea, and that there’s a difference between writing “I’m going to jump off a bridge :eek: 😃 lol jk” and “I’m going to jump off a bridge”

Spousal unit is well into Jawja already. He figures on hitting Ocala before 6. He’s made pretty good time so far. We’ll see if Jacksonville messes him up.

A phone has been installed for my new office mate. All of the crap has been cleared out and dumped in an empty office. I’m guessing the computer will be set up tomorrow. So much for a room of my own…

Now my little town is in the news for police brutality.  
I saw the video, I think they had a lot more patience than I would have had.

Home! I’ve got sketty sauce thawing for supper. It’s so quiet with no Higgs. But nice. I think Ziva will enjoy these dog-free days. Taz doesn’t care.

Haven’t posted much lately. On the good side, been selling some music. On the bad side, breathing problems threatening my entire identity as a musician.

that’s all.

I just watched the video of the goings-on in **sari** -land. It doesn’t look good for the cops.

My sweetie is at his folks’ place. I’ve had my sketties. Taz is trying to get more of my lap than the computer requires. Chillage is ongoing.

Death warmed over served with peas 'n carrots, and rolls has been ingested. All the death is now gone. 😃

**gotti** glad Oscar is still amongst us.

**MetalMouse** yay for cooled down house!

**MOOOOOOM** Taz is happy cause he (right?) has you all to himself.

Taz is really an _it_, but he was born a he. All of our critters are _it_, always. Spay and neuter, people! 😃

I’ll be sleeping with Mel tonight. I’s tahred…

I also would be quite happy if I never heard another word about Brad and Angelina. STFU already!!! That is all.

That is classy, and disturbing at the same time. :dubious:

Instead of peas and carrots, perhaps fava beans and a saucy little chianti.

Thank you.  
Be glad that you do not live in Levy, armpit of the South, cesspool of the world.
