Rock on **Jim**!

**Spidey** parts of me are bumpy. OYKW loves it when I use 'em to bump him.

Had dindin at the good Eyetalian place cause OYKW wanted to take me there. He paid so I went. 😃

How fun! We had one of those about a month ago. The email apparently went out to more than 50,000 people and we only had about 20 reply-alls. I was impressed. I’m sure the person who sent it got lots more. NYU one was amusing, **Bobbio**. I liked the closing message. 😃

Decorating went nicely. I also ran a bunch of errands.

Now I’m deciding what to do with my evening.

Hugs all.

Then my work here is done. 😛

Feel better **Rosie** feel better!

I hate ironin’. However I lurve me some cotton shirts so get over it bear. Thus, I iron until I get tired and then iron some more the next day. Plus I iron OYKW’s shirts cause he’d wear 'em all wrinkly if it were up to him. He’s a spoiled brat.

Chimpanzees in heat have more decorum than these two dogs!

“At least they have no thumbs, and cannot pick up their poop an throw it at us,” says Mrs. Plant v.3.0 wisely.

What if I got Mrs Plant v3.0’s permission\*, would you rub my feet then?

I am just full of arthritic related aches and pains, and the cold weather just makes it that much worse.

- and swear on her favorite Deity that it wouldn’t go any further.

Of course.  
But this cold weather thing. I don’t see how temperature could affect one’s insides. If the internal temperature of the body is only a few degrees away from 98.6 or 96.8, whatever it is normally, one becomes seriously ill. Perhaps muscle shivers caused by the skin becoming cold affect the muscles and joints.

Well folks, it’s been a god-awful week for me. Hell it’s been a god-awful two months.

I had to leave Arkansas on Tuesday because my Dad took a really bad turn. They weren’t sure he was going to make it through the day. It was hellacious trying to get a flight home, but I finally got home at 11:30 Tuesday night.

Yesterday, I rushed down to the hospital and said my final farewell to my Dad. I told him I loved him and that it was okay to let go.

He passed away at 10:40 this morning. I am drained and numb and it doesn’t feel quite real. He went downhill so fast, especially in the last seven days.

There are funeral arrangements to finish wrapping up and a funeral Saturday after this. We will hold a private, family only viewing this Sunday.

I can’t believe it’s over. I didn’t want him to suffer, but am so very sad he’s gone. ☹
