**Moooom,** out of curiosity, do you have any knitted bunnies left? I’ll be going into town shortly, and then hopefully I’ll be back at a reasonable hour. ---

\*\*Midget \*\*- I have all the bunnies left, unwanted and unloved… ☹ Taking a break from prepping the tea towels. Tiring work, since my iron sucks! ---

Unfortunately, I have to hem them all - oh how I hate that chore!!! But I promised to deliver them on Monday, so I’d better get hemming. Dammit. Stop the hawing & get on with the hemming. 😛 > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Tiring work, since my iron sucks! Want mine? It’s in like-new condition, just let me blow the dust off of it. 😉 ---

Howdy Y’all! I met my friend for a N.O.L. [Quickie](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Quickie-Restaurant/193436994837) and after that, well, I have vegetated all afternoon. Speakin’ of irons, I should get mine out and iron some shirts that have been hangin’ in the laundry room for a while. ---

I’ve got 10 towels ready to have their hems stitched. Then I can stencil them. Tomorrow. I’m done today. My back is achy from ironing. Stupid leaky iron. Dunno what I’m going to do for supper. I may go for something quick like mac-n-cheese. We’ll see what \*\*FCD \*\*thinks when he gets home. ---

Well we finally got the rain I have being hoping for. Inches of it. It was so bad this morning I took the day off. We are under a flood advisory. I love it. It’s still thundering and according to the radar it will probably rain all night. Hubby is going to meet some of his friends for dinner so I have some chicken boiling for chicken and rice. Lucky Louie’s favorite. ---

**rosie** that’s pretty powerful. Dindin has been ingested. OYKW went back to his place. He has to do a monitorin’ visit tomorrow mornin’ at six a.m., poor thing, and fortunately the place he has to go is just down the street from his place. So goeth life in south Jawja. ---

**rosie** , that’s the most clear definition of lupus that I’ve ever read, and that is coming from someone with a sister who has had it for 35 years. ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > \ Now i need to get balls. Did you really post that?!?!?! 😛 My supper was interesting - a bowl of raisin bran, and some swiss cheese-n-crackers. Healthy, huh? It’s 70° in the house, and I’m freezing! Makes no sense. I may try some hot chocolate. My mom called. She changed her mind about me painting her deck, so I won’t be going up till my niece’s shower on the 16th. I guess I’m relieved. But I am disappointed Mom will be left with a ratty-looking deck. Oh well… ---
