_pokes head in door_ I like cheap chawklit. I got my annual pack of Reeseā€™s eggs when I went to the store last week. Good thing, too, because I find myself today suddenly jobless. And relieved. Iā€™ve been too scared to quit for years and now that problemā€™s been dealt with. ---

Butters, you are so right. Happy Wednesday everyone, I think the rain is coming, itā€™s been damp all day. Iā€™ve been home chilling with the dog today, working tomorrow and Friday. ---

Home, after a grocery stop. I have a big pot of sketty sauce simmering away. Weā€™ll have some tomorrow, and the rest will be frozen for future meals. Supper tonight is grab whatever. I may make myself an egg-n-cheese sammich. Maybe. Dunno. I remembered to start my sprinkler after opening this thread. šŸ˜ƒ And I set a timer so I wonā€™t forget to turn it off. \*\*Butters \*\*- good for you for laying down the law! One thing I really liked about my pre-retirement workplace - since it was a classified environment, phones were prohibited past the lobby. It was wonderful!! Where I work now, at least in our group, phones are used for music, always with earbuds, so I donā€™t have to listen to whatever stuff my coworkers are jamminā€™ to. I need silence!!! Sketty sauce is smelling yum!!! ---

**butters** , for better or worse, we still lubs ya! šŸ˜ƒ In my irkplace, only complany issued phones are permitted past security. That means mine is in the locker too. **metal mouse** , your rain went north and hit us (again!). Now, some of our area is under a flash flood watch. **big kitty** , best of luck on the job front. ---

**Alien** the brat has mice that are laced with catnip, but I think Iā€™ll buy a few new ones. Or the refillable kind and get a jar of catnip too. Today has been a bad day for him, I think he is going through withdrawal. Heā€™s miffed at me now because he came over looking for attention and I picked him up. He didnā€™t want to be picked up, he wanted to sit on the floor and make me bend over to pet him. The grocery store screwed up the apple pie again this week, we got something called an apple cream pie and YUK! I threw my piece out. Sah-son says heā€™ll eat it but he doesnā€™t like it either. Itā€™s too sweet and too mushy. Itā€™s been a grumpy day today. I donā€™t know why Iā€™m so grumpy but everybody is plucking my nerves. I donā€™t blame you **Butters** , Iā€™d be mad too. {{{ **Sunny and Beamer** }}} ---

In keeping with this weeks theme, I picked up some cheep chawklit early this afternoon, including Carrot Cake Kisses - not bad. However, they dinā€™t have any Belly Jeans, so I went to a different grocery stoā€™ tonight & scored someā€¦& what will become breakfast - a deaf bunny. Well, heā€™ll be extremely hard of hearing after I eat his ears. :eek: Speaking of Belly Jeans, I need to buy some new denim, because iffn I donā€™t wear a belt, I can put my jeans on & off without unbuttoning or unzipping them. All this comeback walking Iā€™ve been doing has paid off in more than one way. **Mooommm** , didja _turn off_ the sprinklers? ---

Sprinklers were turned on, then turned off, and the hose was coiled back up when I was done. naturally, itā€™s forecast to rain today. Speaking of walking, I dreamed last night that I forgot where I parked my car, and I was walking and walking trying to find it. Never did, and I woke up exhausted from all that walking!!! šŸ˜ƒ And, no, I wasnā€™t sleepwalking - well, not in the traditional sense. \*\*FCD \*\*now says heā€™ll go to the March on Saturday, but I know he doesnā€™t want to. He doesnā€™t want me to be alone. \*\*MetalMouse \*\*- wanna meet up so I donā€™t have a cranky spousal unit following me around? I truly donā€™t mind being by myself, and Iā€™ve gone to DC alone many times in my life. I wonā€™t carry a purse and I will have my phone - whatā€™s the big deal?? Meanwhile, itā€™s my last work day this week - letā€™s see how much I can get done. Happy Thursday! ---

Up, sheveled, breakfasted, and trying not to pre-emptively freak out. Iā€™m taking a couple of days of ā€œme timeā€ before I start the resume rewriting process so I can give my brain a talking-to about how I donā€™t need to freak out like Iā€™m already broke. I have a couple of months before I go broke. šŸ˜‰ Plans for today include disassembling my kitchen area to clean up after a mouse (remind me to tell yā€™all that tale laterā€“itā€™s a good one) and finishing up the scarf I promised Britcom. If I get it done today I can give it to him when I pick up my last check tomorrow. ---

Celebrated by waking up at 5amā€¦hell of a way to complete your 64th orbit of the sun. Packed and ready to go, awaiting taxi about an hour from now. Clear and sunny here, so hopefully a smooth flight in. First real ā€˜getawayā€™ since last July, so I am looking forward to it. **FCM,** Give me a time and a location and Iā€™ll do my best to be there (will check board and Facebook this evening at the hotel).
