I’m about to crash, too. After filling in part of the ditch and pruning a bunch of forsythia and crocheting… I’s pooped out! Hope I can sleep thru. I need a solid night. ---

I left work early, and napped. Now I’m deciding between cleaning and midnight bowling. Yay for **Stickey**! It’s like you lost a Nelly. **Bobbio** , like the pic. ---

Nice clothes, **rosie** , and gratz on the weight loss, **scones** Back from fighting the Evil Virus of Tummy Doomy. Yesterday after the whole family left post-lunch, I had sort of a minifight with Mom when, at some point when she’d already been complaining after everybody for over two hours, she started on the “your father’s family has always communicated like shit” spiel. I was too tired and gunked to keep my face from showing that I disagreed (they are not the best communicators in the world, but they’re _normal_ and when they don’t tell you something it’s because they haven’t thought about it, not because they’re trying to hide it… unlike her side of the family), so she huffed and puffed that “well, since you evidently intend to be completely contrary, there is nothing more to talk about!” Maybe I should get virus face more often? ---

There must be something in the Cottonfield County water. I just got home from working the 3rd stroke in 2 days. Usually, they’re about 3 a month. I had to shut my PC off when I called in to take the run. Somehow, Frank Zappa’s _Broken Hearts Are For Assholes_ would not have been appropriate as background music for talking to the dispatcher. Back to bed. I’m headed to sunrise services at St. Bluegill’s in a couple of hours. ---

Up. Tired. \*\*FCD \*\*had another bad night. He falls asleep in a comfy position, then wakes up when it’s not as comfy. Some time in the middle of the night, he went into the guest room - maybe thinking that bed would be better. Then he came back a few hours later. I feel really sorry for him, but I’m starting to feel sorry for me. I haven’t had an unbroken night for a week, and I’m getting run down. For that reason alone, I’m looking forward to FL - at least I’ll get to sleep thru, I think… Naturally, the household is asleep. One side of me wants to go back to bed, but the other knows I need to be up this time tomorrow for work, so I may as well stay up. Retirement is starting to look really good about now. Stoopit bills. Stoopit lifestyle expenses. Stoopit not being born an heiress. 😛 It’s gonna ba a long day. _\_ ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. **BBBobbio** appropriately, the Gospel today is about the amazing catch of fish when Jesus makes his third appearance to his disciples after The Resurrection. Maybe that’ll bring luck. 😃 This afternoon is yahd work time. It may rain tomorrow so I figure today’s the day for that. Gotta mow the weeds sometime. For now though, I need more caffiene. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Happy Sunday, everyone! I had a good day out yesterday, went to Lichfield with a friend where we went on a tour of the cathedral and the newly-opened silver collection. Was fun! Afterwards we had a cup of tea and a huge slab of cake courtesy of the tour organisers. Today I am up late, and am planning to do very little. Well, it’s Sunday and therefore a bit of a rest day for me as it’s the only day I have to be slothful. I do need to go out to the grocery store though, I went shopping on Friday but they didn’t have any lactose-free milk so I need to go to another store that stocks it (not all our supermarkets carry it, which is a pain). Also, I need to get some compost so I can plant the seed potatoes I was given earlier in the week. Yay for spuds! My ex sent me a message on farcebook to say that he’s stranded on holiday in Thailand. I am not quite sure if he’s after sympathy or not… ---

Morning all! Huzzah, **StickyBuns** on the dropped poundage. 🙂 Hey and guess what today is? **Haze’s** birthday! Well, on Sunday at least; I’m not exactly sure if it’s Sunday or Monday in Seoul now. Daughter and I ventured out yesterday; the weather, thankfully, was much nicer than predicted (except for the wild breezes!LOL), and we finally got to the organic market. I still want to know why organic is so expensive, though! It’s cheaper to eat bad stuff, that’s just not right! I used to go over to that neighborhood in DC all the time (Brookland), when I lived closer, so it was nice to see some things hadn’t changed. Nice pics, **Rosie**. Glad to hear you’re feeling better, **Nava** ; tummy upsets are :(. Nothing planned for today. Continued well wishes to the **FairyChats** –him to get better, less painfully and her (grin) to get more sleep! Happy Sunday all. 🙂 ---

Didn’t read (again). Am on way to Iowa to see Uni for #1 son. Will end up driving for 8+ hours today. Not happy, but no time otherwise. Nice day to garden; I will be sucking highway fumes and getting butt ache from car. Want this day over like now. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > **BBBobbio** appropriately, the Gospel today is about the amazing catch of fish when Jesus makes his third appearance to his disciples after The Resurrection. Maybe that’ll bring luck. 😃 Well, I had communion this morning, and received 3 small blessings.

Good morning everyone. We had a great time with our friends last night, but then again, we always do. **Scones** , I saw you tried to IC me in FB, but not until this morning. I forgot to power down my computer last night before I left. I wasn’t ignoring you, I just wasn’t here! Didn’t get home until 1:30 this morning. I didn’t sleep well, but decided it was stupid to try and sleep anymore and got up. Hopefully, your butt won’t become to numb, **rigs.** I should get some household chores done today, but I’d kind of like to go to the mall and use my gift card there. Decisions, decisions… ---

I stayed a heathen today, but as my penance I went and shopped at Wally World. Now I have a 3 hour Booster club this afternoon. At least it’s at a bar, so I can have a few. Safe drive, **rigs**! Happy Birthday, **Haze**!!! ---
