Two nights home, two good sleeps! And I probably just cursed the trend… Good morning! We’re looking for middle 70s today and tomorrow - such weird weather!! Then it gets chilly again in time for the weekend. We need to get our mulcher-vac serviced and ready to go - the leaves are accumulating fast. Apart from that, just another freekin’ day in paradise! 😃 Happy Wednesday! ---

I woke up mad. Not sure why. Must have dreamed something annoying. But I keep reminding myself that I’m on vacation next week, which makes every day this week feel like Friday. ---

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Working closing shift tonight. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 64 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 83 for the day and cloudy. No rain predicted however. Not a whole lot goin’ on today. I’m stuffded up and have a sore throat. ICK! Definitely a stay in da cave day. Pot roast for dindin with N.O.T. and baby carrots. Baby lima beans and rolls shall complete the meal. We’re havin’ an All Saint’s service tonight at the church house. I may or may not go dependin’ on how I feel. OK, I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. I need to get the roast in the slow cooker and I’m thinkin’ a nice hot shower will feel good as well. Goin’ back to bed for a while also sounds like a good thing. Happy Hump Day Y’all! ---

Happy Hump Day! It’s foggy outside. It’s 50 degrees now but supposed to go up to 80. I guess Mother Nature is forgetting to take her meds. I have lots to do today and I should be up getting started instead of sitting here like a lump. Dog and cat are finally interacting a bit. The dog keeps walking up to and sniffing the cat, the cat is still wary of and perplexed by the dog. I think he still doesn’t understand that the dog is blind, but if the damn squirrels can figure it out, then the cat should be able to too. Plugging up the squirrel hole seems to be working. They haven’t tried to get back in and we haven’t heard anything more upstairs. I don’t believe they would have given up so easily. I should work on the health insurance stuff today, and I should call my mother, but I probably won’t. I’m too grumpy already this morning. ---

\*\*sari \*\*- glad the new kitteh seems to be working out! We’ve always been fortunate that our canines and felines will coexist more or less peacefully. I do wish, tho, that Taz and Higgs would not choose to rassle in the middle of the hallways when I’m trying to traverse… 😃 Dunno why the system is so slow today! I’m trying to make very simple changes to a drawing and it’s taking for-freekin’-ever!!! ---

Good Morning MMP!!! In a good mood because (1) I am finally sleeping in like a retired guy should do, (2) The company that screwed up a delivery actually admitted it and is crediting my card for the full cost and (3) I had raisin bread and Pepsi for breakfast just because I can! Now I have to face the rest of the day. ---

I have managed to consume brekkie, put the roast on in the slow cooker, and clean myself. Bein’ as I do feel a bit infirm I say that’s a lot accomplished this mornin’. I am now havin’ a refreshin’ soft drink and believe I shall shortly begin to achieve nappage. I guess right now I feel bleargh as opposed to blurf. ---

Been up and puttering a bit. Dinner/lunch is going to be some cross between Cajun and Chinese like those really bad Cajun places in the mall food courts offer. I got some dirty rice to start with and am just going to go nuts from there. ---
