Happy Sunday! Iā€™m up too early - thanks bladder. Iā€™m staying up, I can take a nap later when the sleepies hit me. Looks to be a pretty day today. Not too cool, getting up to 60. We have to do something with the leaves out back, but with him so busy with school irk itā€™s not going to happen today. Looks to be in the 60s all next week so a good time to get it done. Today will be irk and more proof reading. ---

Blurf. Fun-filled evening planned today. ā€œSo Iā€™m sure you finished all your paperwork. For once. Your stunned silence is very reassuring.ā€ Gonna deheathenate in a few hours; ekemom and I sing in the choir. 31 Amerikan right now. ekemom just asked me to make sure her feet are covered by the blanket-- they were. Even with the space heater, itā€™s cold enough in here that she couldnā€™t tell. This will be a fun winter. Right now, debating with myself whether to stay up and play the game vs. Wisconsin, or get a few more Zā€™s. Leaning towards the first. ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > Right now, debating with myself whether to stay up and play the game vs. Wisconsin, or get a few more Zā€™s. Leaning towards the first. Looks like itā€™ll be neither-- roleplaying instead, and keeping warm beneath my blanket, you know, for the most part. ---

I tried an experiment last night - I let Higgs sleep with me. She settled down around 10 and soon we were both unconscious. But my bladder woke me at 3, leading to letting the pup out to tend to her bladder. When she came back in, she wanted to play. rah. I did my best to ignore her, but it was still after 4 before she settled again, and I was awakened again a bit after 6 by a dog standing on my chest, psychically willing me to get up and fill her kibble bowl. So weā€™re up. Sheā€™s been fed, Iā€™ve been fed, Iā€™m caffeinating, and itā€™s freekinā€™ cold out - hovering around 30. Itā€™s supposed to get into the lower 60s, and when it warms a bit, Iā€™ll run the mulcher/vac around the front yard. Thatā€™s the extent of my chore plans for the day. OK, I might change the sheets on our bed. And Iā€™ll definitely swap out the bath towels. But not a lot of productivity in store. Netflixinā€™ will comprise the majority of the day. That and building 4 sammiches for work week lunches. Think warm thoughts! Happy Sunday!! ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffeinatinā€™. _YAWN_ ā€˜Tis 42 Amurrkin out with clear skies and a predicted high of 68 for the day and sunny. High temps will go back to the mid to upper 70s durinā€™ the week. Todayā€™s plans include deheathenization with the Luteruns and makinā€™ dindin. Nappage shall also be accomplished I do believe. I know, how do I keep up such a fast paced life. šŸ˜ƒ OK, I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then purtification for deheathenization must commence. Gotta look good for the Luteruns! Happy Sunday Yā€™all! ---

ekemom is up and in the shower. I RPed a little bit and then played the Wisconsin game; it was pretty ugly, like 80-6 or something. Regular season finale is next, at UCLA. Weā€™ll be headed to deheathenization as soon as Mudder is out of the shower; after church comes Mickey Dā€™s, then off to the big city for some library time so that ekemom can upload the church service onto the website. My comp will be present also. Dindin is whatever we get at the Karaoke place, I guess? ---

Up, back from church, and getting ready to light some fire up; split some wood and get a bed of coals started. Today is going to be a ā€œsmoke stuff and watch footballā€ day. Some semi-boneless ribs, some beef brisket and the little-bits-o-lamb. Want to do enough to have leftovers for say 10 days. There isnā€™t a smilie for it but Iā€™m rubbing my hands in glee ----- I love cooking when it at least has the appearance of danger. ---

Much accomplishment has ensued. Iā€™ve showered and dressed, changed the bed linens and the bath towels, vacuumed up all the leaf bits, cat hair, and strewn kitteh litter, and scooped the cat box. Go me! šŸ˜ƒ Itā€™s warming up - after lunch, I should be able to attack leaves without freezing my ears off, tho I should wear the ear muffs - my ears were ringing yesterday when I finished. Iā€™m thinking the last of the stew will be lunch, and Iā€™ve got a sweet potato to bake for supper. Thatā€™s as far ahead as I intend to plan for now.
