The food to eat when coming off the ick is hot toast with butter. Mebbe even hot cinnamon raisin toast. Yesterday was beautiful in no. Illinois. Sunny, a bit breezy, in the 70s. Today it is supposed to hit 90. Humidity is about 1000% I think stroms later.
I think I’ve recovered from jet lag. Went to bed at 8pm last night and slept 10 hours…
Chili.
Your tummy is full of nasty germs. Don’t mollcoddle them with mild food. Kill 'em with peppers! Strike while the iron is hot.
On your next trip east, be sure to stop in the state capital; I hear it’s just ducky. 
I slept most of last night, but I’m still tired today. Two days worth of anxiety really wears you out.
Chili can rip apart a well functioning gut; ingesting some into one that’s teetering??? That’s like investigating a gas leak in a dark room with a lighter! :eek:
Howdy Y’all! Laundry is done and I even went to the sto’ to get some Diet Poopsie, and ground beast while it’s still on sale. I still feel a little blech but I feel like it did me good to get out for a little bit. I et oatmeal and dried toast first thing this mornin’. I just finished a scrambled aig with grits. Tummy is happy with those so far. I shall make cubed steak, rice 'n gravy, butter beans and squish for dindin. The cubed steak does not sound good right now but the veggies do so I think I’ll be able to handle 'em. OK, rice 'n gravy is not a veggie but it sorta kind counts in my convoluted mind, so deal. 
I shall undertake nappage in just a bit cause I think I need one and, fresh sheets!
I can sorta see N.O.T. as veggies, but I’m not following rice… Glad you’re feeling better.
I hate Summer. Light at 4:30 am is just wrong.
Blurf. I shall return when coffee has rendered me fit for civilized discourse.
Blurf I did take the day to nurse one knee that is still swollen. I really need to be at irk but too bad. This is why I have hundreds of hours of sick leave. I think I will try to find a movie to watch whilst I lounge around and be lazy.
For that I would consider going there again. For something other than the Farm Show.
Well, time to get ready for work.
In the classifications of Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral, rice is definitely a veggie! Come to think of it, so’s chocolate!
**FCD **just called. He’ll probably be late today, and he has to work tomorrow, poor baby. I think tomorrow shall be laundry day for me - unless they threaten rain, I’ll hang things outside. I was going to make steak for supper tonight, but if he’s going to be really late, we’ll have it another day.
OK, break time over. Back to work!
Since the threatened rain has yet to materialize I decided to go spend some quality time at the cee-mint pond. ‘Twas nice. However, I took a giant step closer to the home when I came back inside. I put on my shorts, socks, and shoes but couldn’t find my tshirt. I knew I left it on the chair with the shorts but it just was not there or on the bed. Then I looked at my left hand and I was holdin’ the dang tshirt! :smack:
Guess we need to take up a collection for a service dog for swampy…
There is this cute little dog at the pound.
Oh God that dawg is ugly. I wouldn’t own it if you paid me a millionzillion dollars.
Nice collar, though.
Come now.
For a millionzillion dollars, you could buy a house in another state, and hire people to care for the little dog.
Don’t feel bad Swampy.
The other day when I hadn’t gotten enough sleep I couldn’t figure out how to turn the water off. I turned the hot knob off while turning the old knob on, and then reversed them, or whatever I was doing wrong.
That’s when I knew I needed to go back to bed.
Cat is being bratty today. He took off downstairs when I opened the basement door and refused to come back upstairs. When he came back up he had all kinds of fuzzies in his whiskers which he deposited onto the couch.
Later today I put his harness on him and carried him outside. Instead of playing dead outside, he backed up real fast and pulled the harness over his head. He hung around the porch though, since birds were ‘after’ him. Little brat kept going to the door and then would run the other way when I opened it.
He finally came in and is stretched out in front of the AC.
I’m hungry. The kid just made a pizza, I wonder if he wants to share.
Interview went well. I’ll probably hear something by next week.
I’ve also decided on a title for my story. I’m going to keep the original title of “Rose Red” but for one submission* I’ll change it to “The Heroine’s Reward.”
*Similar title between the journal and the story.
Sari I think that flower may be a kind of fire weed. It looks similar to the one in my book anyway.
Yay Big Kitty!
I knew someone who had a Chinese Crested & the dog would shake on command. She made it a bat costume for Halloween; essentially a black doggie sweater with wings. You haven’t seen creepy til you’ve seen a four-legged bat!
