I have been very unproductive today.  
Lack of sleep will do that to you.  
So far I have irked, fed the cat, taken a nap, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, and paid a few bills. I need to clean the litter box.  
I had a microwave breakfast and cup noodles for lunch.  
Dinner tonight will be whatever I can find in the fridge.

It still hasn’t rained.

Is it because you are a Mother that you can talk about these thing together, or because you have been in the Navy?  
:dubious:

Almost quitting time - it’s been a day for sure.

So, do I cook supper or go out? Decisions, decisions…

Back from Uncle’s. Was generally fun, but there was _shudder_ country dancing, and my mother missed her calling by being not born when press gangs were a thing. It wasn’t helped by the fact it was an 80th, so half the attendees were a similar age… Surprisingly, my Uncle apparently didn’t twig that we weren’t just having a nice dinner with close family until we actually walked into the venue.

In other news, I’m psychic- the new chef has gone, and the former one is back in tomorrow to help settle in _new_ new chef. I await the next shift with interest.

**MOOOOOOM** I say go out to eat.

Da cave smells so nummy right now! The ribs are in a slow cooker all wrapped up in foil and on warm. I just put the baked beans in the oven and will make corn bread in a little while. I had me a snack cause I was hongree and all the nummy smells were not helpin’.

**Nuts** glad the uncle’s bday soiree went well. Yay for new, new cook. May he at least be less crazier than old new cook.

We are going out - not sure when or where, but \*\*FCD \*\*didn’t want to forage at home. I’m not sure what I’m in the mood for. Is a hot fudge sundae a balanced dinner?

I was never in the Navy, however being a mother, along with having had a horse and having irked for a vet, does tend to give one a strong stomach.  
I get queasy a lot easier than I used to though.  
I think that, along with a decreased tolerance for pain, heat, and cold, comes with age.

Dindin has been ingested. I like ribs with bbq sauce but sometimes ribs that have been smoked and rubbed are just the thing. That’s what I did. YUM! OYKW is happy cause he has ribs, beans, N.O.T., and cornbread for N.O.L. tomorrow.

**MOOOOOOM** I say an ice cream sundae is a balanced meal. There’s dairy, and I’m sure protein all up in a sundae, so why not? 😃

I shall sleep with Ty tonight for sure. I’s achy!

We went to Leonardtown Grille - \*\*FCD \*\*just had their monstrously large N.O.T. skin appetizer (equal to 1 1/2 russets!) and I had the grilled tuna sammich with onion rings, but I didn’t eat the bread, just the tuna and rings. We’ll have ice cream later.

I shall sleep with Mel tonight. I need it. And tomorrow I shall paint.

Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) does not like wine, but it is polite to offer her a taste when I have something new. I offered her a taste of Pink Muscato, and expected her to comment, “Resinous, with a slight citrus flavor”, but she said, “It’s that syrupy shit again.”

**Moooom** , make sure you have some strawberries or pineapple on that sundae for your healthy serving of fruit. 😃

**ruble** , I hope that everything works out well at irk for you. Have fun at Diggerland!

**metal mouse** , enjoy your trip and good luck to your soccer team!

I’m glad your uncle enjoyed his party, **nuts**.

We got tons of rain here today. I thought for a while that the power would go out at irk. Tonight, I’ll finish up a 50th birthday card for a friend and fold the towels that are in the washer right now. Breakfast for supper.

It’s white, it’s …not white,  
It’s hot, it’s cold,  
I say it’s balanced.  
Put some nuts on it and it’s a parfait! (According to DQ)

I wish you hadn’t reminded me.

I got to drive the new car today. I likes it! 😃 The engine’s a bit noisy, but it handles fine. You can do all sorts of things with the ‘entertainment system’ too.

Gotta go. Grandson’s concert tonight.

Is it the full moon? I had 2 people pull out in front of me on the way to work, and one on the way home. Plus any number of screaming loons at work.

Happy Firday!

It’s a cool and cloudy 71 degrees outside. TWPTB keep changing the forecast, now it’s supposed to rain all weekend and Moonday.

I’m up earlier than I wanted to be. Yesterday was a wasted day, didn’t get much of anything done. We’ll see about today.

Have fun **Ruble**

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 68 Amurrkin out and fair with a predicted high of 88 and mostly N.O.S. for the day. A far cry from yestiddy’s prediction of rain/tstorms/apocalypse for today and tomorrow. Just as well, cause tomorrow is a scheduled mowin’ day over to the church house. I’d rather just get that done. I know the back forty needs mowin’ bad cause it’s been two weeks and we have had a bunch of rain since then. Also, I may get in some quality cee-mint pond time this afternoon and tomorrow! YAY! Dindin shall be majik intartoobz pizza and sallit. I need to do some errands this mornin’ and put fresh sheets upon the bed. The excitatement knows no bounds! 😃

Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then I suppose I should change the sheets, purtify, and go be about the public for a while.

Happy Firday Y’all!

Mel was a little help last night, but not as much as I’d hoped. I went back around 8:30 and watched TV till almost 9:30 waiting for Mel to do his magic - usually in 30 minutes I’m unconscious. I did fall asleep, tho, then woke around 3 for a bladder call. Fortunately, I fell back to sleep til 6 or so. Critters have been fed, the dishwasher is sloshing away, I’ve ingested a less-than-satisfactory bagel, and I’m caffeinating.

With luck, we’ll see some rain in the next few days, but the best the forecast can offer is 50% chance. Dammit. Before I start painting, I’ll drag the sprinkler down to the hill and give the garden a drink. Then I’ll get a coat of Kilz on the OSB panels in **FCD** ’s soon-to-be paint booth. That’s pretty much gonna be my day. It’s not supposed to get stupid hot and the shed does have an exhaust fan to keep air moving - it may not be torture…

Happy Firday!

The cat and I are enjoying the open windows.  
He likes sitting in them, I like the fresh air.

I want to finish the mulching today but somebody is feeling lazy. I think we should get it done while it is cool outside and before it rains but since I can’t carry the bags I can’t do it myself.

There are other things we can do though.

Instead of majik intartoobz pizza for dindin we shall have carryout from Shake A Snake. I possess a two for five dollah coupon for their four dollah meals. I shall order online and go pick up since I do have one errand I have yet to do that is over by the Shake A Snake. I can order foodz take care of the errand and pick up the foodz. Dindin done easy-peasy!
