**WetOne** - great time to stop smoking :whistles innocently: Also, feel better. {{{hugs}}} I just found this in the news: [bomb cyclone incoming](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2018/01/02/monster-storm-to-blast-east-coast-before-polar-vortex-uncorks-tremendous-cold-late-this-week/? __twitter_impression=true&__ twitter_impression=true&tid=sm_tw&utm_term=.14c29ed0db04) East Coast friends. Conditions start to worsen off of Florida on Wednesday, and move up the Coast, covering an area from Georgia to Maine. It’s being described as a Winter Hurricane. It might be a good time to read up on this, and stock up if needed. Take care everyone. ☹ ---

8 PM and I am already abed. We are trying to get the cat in before we retire for the night. She has learned to somehow peck on the bedroom window. She has also been earning her keep of late bringing us very big rats. She doesn’t eat them just brings them. The last couple were so big she had to leave them downstairs. Believe me there are still plenty of hurricane junk piles. The rats are in heaven. Good Kitty. Feel better \*\*WetOne and Sari and son and all the sickies \*\*! Cat is in now. I think hubs is getting sick. ---

OYKW goes back to irk this mornin’ poor thing. Today I shall go to the Pubic Sto’ as it is geezer discount day and stuff is needed. Laundry must also be done. Rah. Chikin ‘n dumplin’s shall be supped upon this evenin’ along with peas 'n carrots cause one must have one’s veggies. That should be enough to keep me occupied and outta trouble for the day. **{{{WetOne}}}** feel better soonest. All you other sickies feel better soonest as well. Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. I suppose I should purtify as well since I shall go to the Pubic Sto’. Happy Hump Day Y’all! ---
