Happy birthday Gordie! \<3 **Juliet** , I hope all goes well for your mother. Yay **butters**! It’s been six years and change for me this time around and I rarely have a craving now. It’s a rainy day here to the point of some flash flooding and, northwest of Nashville, sinkholes opening up. I paid bills and did the menu planning/grocery list for the weekend. Now,it’s chill time. ---

Evening all. Was going to call brother tonight but M_A_S\*H reached the end of it’s cycle and started back at the first episode, so I had to watch it on-line (still one of the most-watched episodes in TV History) and it got too late. Get him tomorrow. Garbage was collected and put of for collection tomorrow, and may yet run the vacuum (who am I kidding, I’ll do it tomorrow). **Butters** , yeah on the stop smoking. My Mom never could stop, and seeing that made me vow to never start–and I haven’t. And congrats on 6 years to you, **red.** **swampy** , this warden job sounds a lot like ‘custodian’ to me… **Nut** , is that 40 miles round trip or one-way? If you were a USAian, I’d say it was far from the worse I’ve seen. But in Merry Olde England, I guess that is a ways away. ---

But in Merry Olde England, I guess that is a ways away. Each way. I mean, I’ve seen worse- one of my classmates last year was driving summat like 3 hours each way to get in, most of the reason he transferred away for this year, but it’s further’n I’m used to. Mind you, I often used to spend as long stuck in traffic queuing to get to to my old job when I was at the airport, for all it was a lot closer. At least this is a pretty drive across t’moors. ---

If all goes well, I won’t have to come in tomorrow - yay! I’ve gotten all of Josh’s stuff done and I just have 8 drawings for Tim and I’m pretty sure they don’t have to be done this week. So huzzah! bad night - I woke twice and had a rough time falling back to sleep the second time. So it’s gonna be a rough day. But I’m a professional, so I can deal, right? yeah. sure.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 54 Amurrkin out and fair (I guess) with a predicted high of 81 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. Tomorrow’s high will be 65. :dubious: No biggie plans for the day and no plans at all to leave da cave. I need to do some readin’ for Diocesan Development Leadership Institute or whatever it’s called. I have neglected my studies there as of late. Sup shall be chikin’ ‘n rice and whatever side matter I decide upon. Lookin’ forward to mostly lazin’ about. Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Rah. Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

Happy Thorsday! It’s a cloudy 41 degrees outside, supposed to stay cloudy with a high of 54. Rough night last night, I almost overslept this morning. When I opened the door this morning to let the dog out, I had two cats waiting by the door. One waltzed in, the other ran away. If Adam’s friend wants to hang around (s)he is going to have to stop running away from the dog. Adam’s friend may be missing part of his/her tail. Hard to tell when all I see is a blur. Congrats **Butters**! {{{ **Juliet** }}} I hope you mother is able to get a replacement biller. **Swampy** - I thought you were supposed to be retired? Sounds like you have another job. Tonight’s dinner will be leftover pork chops and fart blossoms from last night’s dinner. I make may up some fake crab salad for lunch, I have some broccoli sprouts to use up and I can chop some of those up in that. Then again, I could put them in an omelet. I have to pay bills today since I didn’t do them yesterday. That doesn’t take long though, I do everything online. ---

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. Short day today. Hockey tonight. And [London Bridge Pub](http://thelondonbridgepub.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgvPqjNap4AIV27bACh1WIwEGEAAYASAAEgJjy_D_BwE) finally has food. **Nut** , that is a bit of a commute. My 25 a day doesn’t seem so bad. ---

Morning all. Up at 6:15am and immediately…vacuumed the house. Why it had to be done at 6:15am I do not know, but my brain said it had to be done right then, so who am I to argue with my brain at 6:15? Anyway, need to consume raisin bread here in a little bit and do a little more tiding of the house. Temperature outside is 67F, heading for 75F, but it is due to drop below freezing tonight and only get to 40F tomorrow. Weather be weird. All y’all take care. ---
