Back from CA.
We’re having BBQ tonight, with mashed garlic N.O.T., green beans, and corn bread.
The puppeh ran in circles after getting home and then passed out on her blanket. She is being very cute. 
Welcome back to Orygun Sunny!
The car tire is still losing air ---- 10 pounds in two days. Which means a trip back to NTB and then going in late for a double at Da Jungle. You can probably guess how happy I am. Not so unhappy that I threw the guns back in the car but ---------
Worked, came home. Making Curried Bachelor Food with Ghost Peppers. Today is my Firday. 
Stuffed in the stocks with a C smeared on his/her head in red frosting.
sari, you idea has merit ,too.
I wash the dirty ones the same day, but otherwise GMTA 
Were thse two related?:dubious:
But will I be reading about an Amish guy smashing conveyors with an axe, and screaming about “The Heathen English, and their Devil Machines”? :D;)
Actually yes -------- and possibly. 
Morning, mumpers! I am at irk, and irked as usual, largely because other people are not doing what they ought to have done when they were asked to do it. Oh well, just means I have to find other annoying things to do instead.
The sick kitteh continues to improve although he’s still weeing where he’s not meant to, but there is a lot less blood in it now. He is going back to the vet tomorrow for a follow-up so I have to try getting a urine sample out of him tonight. I think I’ll shut him in the living room with food, water and his special litter tray in the hope that he produces something.
In other news, I was meant to be in Scotland this weekend with 'im indoors for his mother’s birthday do, but since kitteh needs the vet, I am staying at home. I’ve got plans to hit the gym a couple of times, meet a friend for lunch and help with some fundraising for our local cat rescue charity instead.
In other other news, my doting parent won first prize in her local council’s competition for the best communal garden, after they came to see the garden where she lives as she does the majority of the planting and upkeep of the flower borders. All the council man does is come and mow every now and then. She is chuffed to rockets about it!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 73 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 94 (heat index over a hunnert) and mostly N.O.S. Actually I am already purtified even. JDD’s father was sent to the ER last night. He was all confused and disoriented and sounds like he may have had at least a mild stroke. Anywho, JDD and Partner have been at the ER since midnight and are waitin’ to see the ER doc in a little while. A decision will be made either to admit Mr. Frank or send him back to the nursin’ home with medication to keep him comfortable. A CT is bein’ or has been done and there’s also the possibility of lesions on his brain. Whatever is decided, this is not good and I’m seein’ the beginnin’ of the end. I told JDD that if they decide to transport him back to the nursin’ home to call me and I’ll come and wait until transport arrives. The horsepistol has the most, to put it the most delicate way I know, FUBAR non-emergency transport imaginable. It might take thirty minutes to arrange for transport or it might take two hours. At any rate, I told 'em I’d come wait so they could go home and go to bed, If they admit, then they’ll stay until he’s admitted and then go home. I told them I’d be there to see about him at least until JDD’s sister (she lives in another town) can get there. Prayers, good thoughts, mojo or whatever are greatly appreciated.
OK, Ima get some more caffeine and wait.
Happy Firday Y’all!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off today. The high is supposed to be 98, with a heat index of 108.:eek: And the Heat Advisory lasts till 8pm.:eek:
Prayers sent for JDD and Dad.
Congrats to your doring mom, BooFae. 
Hi! I’m alive! You can quit the panic parade!!! 
We got up about 6, showered, dressed, and went to breakfast at Bob’s. Then we ran by FCD’s office to pick up some parts that he’s going to be working on at home, plus a quick stop at the auto parts store for a hone for said parts working. After I get caught up on my morning intrarwebz routine, I’m going out to clip back some wisteria that’s getting out of control, then I intend to clean the granite countertops. Beyond that, who knows…
I stripped the bed this morning, and I’ll remake it soon. The sheets will be laundered tomorrow and hung out to dry - as hot as it is, they’ll dry in less than an hour! Beyond that, not a whole lot going on… for now.
Good thoughts aimed at the entire JDD family!!
Happy Firday!!
Happy Firday!
It’s hot outside and going to get hotter.
I don’t know what I am doing today.
I have things to do, I have decide what is most important.
I hate squirrels. They’ve nested in the roof of the family home more than once. We did get the roof fixed, but we think the squirrels may be back.
I had a bit of a run-in with an over-enthusiastic squirrel in NYC once. He was hell-bent in getting into my handbag, in spite of the fact that there was no food in there. I ended up having to pick him up and put him on the ground. Thankfully he didn’t try to bite or anything.
Just finished de-vining a section of fence. Before we put in FCD’s paint shed, we cleared the fence beside it of wisteria and Virginia creeper. Well, it grew back with a vengeance, and was working its way under the shed. I went out there with little nippers and cut it back, pulling it out of the chain link and from under the shed. Not strenuous, but still a hot and sweaty chore.
I’ll let the a/c chill me, then replace the sheets on our bed and polish the counters. Eventually. I think I need some lemonade.
My crepe myrtle is starting to bloom.
I’m waiting on some amazon packages that were supposed to be here yesterday. I use amazon prime to stock up on cleaning, kitchen,and bathroom supplies.
Let the delivery drivers carry all that heavy stuff to my door.
Hugs to** JDD** and family.
Wow Midget, that is scary. The closest I ever had to deal with was a squirrel grabbing my toe. That’d teach me for going out on the deck in my bare feet after somebody threw out peanuts for the squirrels.
One of my mother’s exes. He loved squirrels, but hated rabbits.
All of a sudden I got the Sundance Channel back. I hope I’m not going to be charged extra for that.
Cool!
I GOTS A LIBERRY CARD!!!
And I checked out 2 books. I feel so literate!
I also did the online check-in for our cruise. Sometime shortly before the sailing date, they’ll email us the luggage tags so we can print out as many as we need. Three, I think. And I emailed the travel agent we used asking if there’s any chance the cruise line might reassign us to a cabin on a higher deck. It’s not a huge deal, but I’d rather be on 4 than 2. Whatever - it’s not like we’d get moved to a balcony cabin… I wish!! 90 days till vacation!!!
So you have longer to escape when the ship is sinking?
Howdy Y’all! Back from the horsepistol. I sat in the ER with Mr. Frank about three hours and then he got moved into a room. He’s in a private room on the eighth floor with a nice view of a park. The nurse is a sweetheart. She had him smilin’ and laughin’. Mr. Frank is a lot more coherent in that he was bein’ grouchy, surly, and well, his general usual self. I was all, “Gripe and complain to me Big Frank! Music to my ears!” JDD and Partner went home and slept a while. They came back up and have promised me they’ll go home in a little while. OYKW will stop by after he gets off irk and says if need be he’ll kick both of ‘em out. I told them to go get a good night’s sleep and I’d go up early in the mornin’ to see about Mr. Frank and to take their time gettin’ there tomorrow. JDD’s sister will be here tomorrow as well. Other relatives are makin’ sure Miss Becky (JDD’s mom) knows what’s goin’ on and keepin’ a check on her. I offered to go up this afternoon but these are local folk who can go back and forth several times if need be so that’s good. I know they are not my relatives and I’ve griped about sittin’ in the ER for ten or eleven hours before, but, dammit, they’re like a second set of parents to me and I love 'em both dearly.
That’s been my day. Dindin will be sammiches or whatever one scrounges up. That was already the plan for the weekend as I bought a buncha deli stuff at the Pubic Sto’.
It is ungodly hot out. Therefore Gordie is requesting hourly walks. :dubious:
Mooommmmm, my vacation is in 16 days.
Supper was Amish corn. That’s all. Neither of us was very hungry. I’ll have some cherries, and maybe a Klondike bar later, but for now, 2 ears of corn was enough.
I never did clean my countertops. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not…
JDD and Partner have reported that they are home for the evenin’. JDD called me on his landline as proof they were there. I am goin’ back to the horsepistol around seven to check on Mr. Frank and make sure he’s comfy for the night. I know he’s gettin’ good care but just feel better makin’ one last check. He’s had food and reports say he’s happy to have eaten. I have to admit the food down at good ol’ Pheobe Putney Memorial Horsepistol is actually pretty good.
There’s a storm brewin’ out and the temp has cooled down a lot. Yay for that. Lots of thunder all around and a few drops of rain so far. Hope we get a big rain.
