Home from a damp day at Faire. Proper English weather or liquid sunshine - take your pick of ways to say itā€™s raining. A pumpkin pie just came out of the oven. All I need now is a fork and some Cool Whip. Delightfully, I happen to have both. ---

It seems I canā€™t catch a break. The small bruise under my eye progressed to my eye being swollen shut this morning. At 10:00 AM I went to the walk-in clinic got some eye drops and ā€œjust in caseā€ antibiotics. By 6:00 PM the ā€œjust in caseā€ became reality. By 9:00 PM hubby loaded me and my swollen FACE into the car and went to urgent care. Itā€™s now 1:45 AM. We just got home. IV antibiotics, lotsā€™o pain meds. I have to go back tomorrow for more IV antibiotics. Nothing is ever easy. ---

Dang, **Nurse!** - it appears you were getting home about the same time idiot Higgs started whining and scratching at her cage door. So letting us sleep in yesterday was a fluke. Stoopit dog. But sheā€™s been fed and sheā€™s gnawing happily on her new antler while Iā€™m wishing I could go back to bed. Stoopit dog. Today is a crab day, but neither of us expect anyone to go out. Itā€™s also the day we submit our timesheets for the previous week so \*\*FCD \*\*can get paid. Next week, heā€™s on only 1 day - Iā€™m guessing the season is ending early. No big surprised there. With luck, weā€™ll get the pachysandra planted today. Iā€™m not going to be as meticulous as I was in the spring. Rather than separating individual plants, Iā€™m going to plant clumps. Itā€™ll be faster, and I think itā€™ll result in better rooting and spreading. Iā€™m hoping we can get it done in a couple of hours this morning, because I know my sweetie wants to watch football. His greatest joy these days is watching Washington lose. Simple pleasures for simple minds, I guessā€¦ šŸ˜› I was going thru some files yesterday and I found paperwork I should have filed last year for a state clean energy grant on our pellet stove and wood stove. Since itā€™s worth up to $1200, I decided it would be a good idea to do it. But it requires the signature of the installer, so \*\*FCD \*\*is taking it tomorrow to get everything signed, and with luck, weā€™ll get a check. We shall see. I canā€™t believe I forgot that amount of money last year. dammit. Ah well, Happy Sunday! ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffienatinā€™. _YAWN_ 'Tis 59 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 78 for the day. A nice south Jawja Fall day. This means da cave windows stay open. YAY!!! **Nurse!** dang! Hope youā€™re feelinā€™ better soonest. **MOOOOOOM** Higgs knows she can get away with it because sheā€™s cute. šŸ˜ƒ Now I need more caffiene and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, purtification for deheathenization shall commence. Happy Sunday Yā€™all! ---

Happy Sunday! I am up too early considering I woke up at 3am and couldnā€™t get back to sleep. Itā€™s a chilly 46 degrees with a projected high of 64.
