We are home, with meds. I hope we caught this early enough.
Stoopit dog is back to her wake-at-5-AM routine. Stoopit dog. :mad: I really wanted to sleep another hour or so. Stoopit dog.
When I took her out around 10 last night, it was still 80! That’s so wrong - it should be cool at night.
And yes, all afghans will have, at a minimum, bits of dog or cat hair and possibly drool, altho they’ve mostly stopped trying to eat my yarn. So there’s that.

Today, I might actually take down the curtains in the blue bedroom and launder them. They’ve been hanging for more years than I can remember - at least 6 or 7, I’m thinking. So they’ll be washed and spend a few hours out in the fresh air and sunshine. Beyond that, my day is unplanned, not to be confused with disorganized.
Happy Thursday!
Don’t forget in all the plans for Mumper Estates that there needs to be a training ground for the ninja troops unless you want them marching around in their little hob-nailed boots all over your best floors.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 73 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 93 and maybe rain. Or not. It stormed last night around nine-thirty, as in biiiiiiiiiig rain with biiiiiiiiiiig lightnin’ and thunder. My very unofficial rain guage says we got an inch and a half of rain.
Taters yay for things lookin’ like they’re comin’ to an end. Settlin’ an estate is no fun.
{{{Sticky and Bubster}}} Hope the little feller is better today, poor thing!
gotti yikes! Hope everything goes smooth with the move.
BooFae good idea! If we have a hoarde of PSWSLNPS* at the ready, we probably wouldn’t need as many moat monsters.
And now this…

*Pointy Stick Weildin’ Sri Lankan Ninja Paratrooper Spiders
When did the spiders become paratroopers? Did I miss a memo?? 
Of course they’re paratroopers! Didn’t you ever see the end of Charlotte’s Web when all the little spiderlings flew away? They use their webs as little parachutes and land to cause doom to insects and humans.
Swampy, that was an awesome way to wake up. Of course, if it had come with coffee and maybe some breffest…
The sprog is home from camp today. He decided it was more important to celebrate Mom’s birthday with Mom than it was to go to the state park. In about five minutes, he’s going to wish he had gone to camp, and the cat wishes he were already there. (The cat, by the way, is chowing on a banana. Cats is weird.)
So far, my birthday plans include working and lunch with a friend and the Doorses are going out for a sumptuous meal. Not sure where yet, but it’ll be good.
You tell us cats are weird as if you think we didn’t already know that. 
Slept very poorly and my back already hurts. Throw in errands w/stressed and balky DH in tow, and this is NOT shaping up to be a fun day. Thankfully, only four hours of irk today, so the achy back and I will have it easier on that front.
{{{{{hugs}}}}} for Sticky and lots of scritches for Bubster
Happy Birthday MsRobyn!!!
Just in from weeding the front bed some more. The parts I weeded last week are overgrown again- I should have put mulch down. I did mulch part of what I weeded today, but it got too hot and icky out, so I quit. Maybe tomorrow I’ll do some mulching and some more weeding.
I wiped my arms and legs with a cold washcloth. I’d shower, but I expect to get icky again when I go down to my studio, so I’ll hold off till later. I should probably pull something out to thaw for supper. Maybe I’ll do chickie strips? We shall see what falls out.
If a chickie strips, Imma guessin’ what falls out is chickie boobs! 
Do roosters give dollar bills to chickies that strip?
No, Spidey, the roosters just egg them on.

Happy Thorsday!
It’s sunny and windy, 79 degrees outside. I should have opened my window while it was cooler but I didn’t.
Whatever updates AT&T made to my phone didn’t work and they never called to check. I’ll call them later and attempt to get them to fix it again.
Now some guy is carrying a carpet sweeper down the road. Maybe somebody up the road is moving piecemeal down the road, carrying one piece of furniture at a time.
Happy Birthday Red

Up and caffeinated, off to work in a bit. 85 already(Still better than snow)
You just don’t get the yolk.
Happy Birthday Rockin’!!!

I have to stop at the burly butcher sto’ to pick up and pay for the ribs I ordered on my way to da cave today. BBS usually has sliced smoked <snerk> butt! <snerk> as they get smoked every day. That, some of BBS good coleslaw, and oven fries will be dindin cause once again da bear can’t be bothered to actually cook.
That made me snort.

Trying to get everything finished here at irk before taking off tomorrow and Moonday for a long weekend in Memphis and cruising down the blues highway in Mississippi. Looking forward to not only the time away but the company.
Red if you’ve never done it, try to work in a tour of Graceland. The place truly fascinates me. It answers the age old question of how much tacky can money buy.
Which reminds me of the tackiest souvenirs I ever bought. A gift shop across from Graceland had these shiny plastic salt and pepper shakers in the shape of Graceland. They came in a set as salt and pepper shakers should. Obviously they were not hot sellers as the price has been reduced to a quarter per set. I bought 'em out. Friends and relatives were thrilled, thrilled I say to get those ummm… special souvenirs of Graceland.
Sending good thoughts to both Sticky and the Bubster, hope he’s feeling/doing better today.
Happy Birthday MsRobyn!!! Hope you enjoy your day today and especially your night out with your hubby. Wow, how time seems to fly - I remember when the Sprog was called Bombay Doors!
We passed through Memphis on the way to ABQ back in 2011 - we did stop in Little Rock, where my son had gone to undergraduate at Philander Smith College, but not in Memphis. That’s one place I would really love to see, including (yes!) Graceland. Enjoy your visit there,Red - blues highway sounds like a great plan to me too!!
Happy Thursday all!
awww poopy
We really need a new list of names
I thought Robyn was Red
Sorry Happy Birthday Rockin’
I need to pay better attention
Some folks just ain’t bright. I am about to leave the orifice and go sit down with three folks and explain, yet again, how to submit irktime next week. Everybody else gets it. Not these three.
New assistant is once again verklempt at the stoopid. She now understands what I say when I say just when you think it can’t get any dumber it can and it will.
