So I’m working 32 of the next 52 hours. Is it Monday yet?
At least he’s not pinin’ for the fjords.
Sorry about the non date, shoe.
Dinsdale??? Dinsdale!!!
Someone neglected to secure the dog’s crate last night, so she let herself out and was at our door at 4:15 this morning. Ignoring her included the possibility of pee on the carpet, so **FCD **got up and took her out. By the time he came back to bed, I was wide awake, so here I am. It seems if I’ve slept at least 5 hours, chances are I won’t fall back to sleep. <deep sad sigh>
Plans for the day:
[ul]
[li]Laundry[/li][li]Clearing a space in the green room for an old hutch[/li][li]Dishes[/li][li]Straining and freezing the turkey broth I cooked up yesterday[/li][li]???[/li][li]Profit![/li][/ul]
I’m nearly finished with the latest lap robe, and I think I know how I’ll use up the last of my yarn (till the next big batch arrives.) So that’ll give me something to do tomorrow when it’s all raining and yuck out.
Meanwhile, on into the day!
Happy Saturday!
Up, caffeinated, ofrf to work.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 42 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of <snerk> 69! <snerk> for the day and sunny. Should be a nice day. I’m glad because OYKW will have good weather for his trek back from the wilds of west Alabammy. He told me last night he wants to wait until it’s daylight to start out. A wise idea IMHO.
Today’s plan includes laundry (already have sheets washin’), dustin’ and vacuumin’ da cave cause it needs both, and makin’ dindin which shall be death chikin, steamed spareguts, rolls, and peach cobbler. I figure OYKW will appreciate a nice dindin after all that drivin’. See how good he has it! 
Ok, I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then I suppose I should get busy on more laundry and cave defilthyfyin’. Such an excitatin’ life I lead!
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Morning, all! I’ve been a bit MIA this last week, mostly because I’ve been shunting between home and mum’s hospital (via her flat) and I’ve also had a steenkin’ cold on top of that. I was banned from visiting the hospital yesterday because I rang her in the morning to see what she needed and she could hear me coughing up a lung! Anyway, I am still coughing up the other lung but since I’ve not visited for two days, I really do need to see her.
She’s still in hospital but getting around a bit better with her walking frame. She’s had a chunk taken off the plaster cast because it was causing her some pain and swelling to her fingers, plus it appears to have been pressing on her knuckles and bruising them. The doc came to see her this morning and said everything with the cast is fine and the pain she’s feeling is actually normal so she is slightly reassured by that. The better news is that they’re giving her some morphine from the pain so that should keep her happy!
I have, as ever, a list of things to do for her so I’d better get myself into town and get some of them done. We are going to see her this afternoon, then stopping off at a friend’s house (she’s having a party) as it’s on the way back so it will also be a nice break in the driving for me.
Yesterday we had snow, today it’s all gone and it’s just wet and miserable. Much the same as usual then…
rosie’s sig to all 
Up early today. I have to try to make cookies before my sister gets up, because she doesn’t like it when I make cookies and tends to throw fits about it (long story that I don’t feel like getting into or revealing too much of.)
I’m showered and dressed and the kitchen is tidied. First load of laundry is in the machine, and I’ll do the whites next. I don’t have enough of anything else to do any more, so it’s a 2-load day!
Maybe I should bake this afternoon…
Yes. Please do. And please send me some through the CD drive.
Just be sure to set your computer to accept cookies.

Happy Saturday!
It’s a sunny 45 degrees outside with a predicted high of 55.
Same ol’ same ol’ around here today.
Log into irk and hope to make up for lost time, xmas was sloooooow.
We didn’t bathe the dog yesterday so that is on the agenda for today. A weekly bath is helping with his itchiness.
His chronic ear infection had cleared up until we spent the night at my mothers. I think there is something in that house that we are allergic to.
Pizza for lunch today. Sah-son got a bunch of Dominoes gift cards and he wants to use one today.
ruble wins the thread
Ok,so I’m not on HERE nearly so much as I used to be. Two things: I’m blocked again at work, and though I can use the I-Pad in cellular mode, I get lazy.
Also: Facebook. I tend to catch up with people, make snarky remarks, ( KNOW, me?? ) and visit there. I think it’s that I have access to Doper friends and non-Doper friends all in the one spot.
AND I never make NY resolutions but this coming year I’ve decided to hang out here more often. I spent a bunch of the morning reading stuff on different forums and realize I kinda miss ('sniff…sniff… ) the place.
Also, anyone here I’m not already on FB with, PM me for the info.
Also, Hi Mom!!
Quite a few Mumpers have forsaken this place for FB. Kids these days…
OK, back to the recliner - I’ve still got yarn scraps to convert into a lap robe.
I have finished up laundry, cave defilthyfication, got death chikin ready to bake, been to the sto’ to buy collard greens which I have also washed. They’re all bagged up to await cookage on NYE. Also, I just had me a sammich. I call that a productive mornin’. Go Me!
OYKW is havin’ N.O.L. with a cousin in Monkeytown then he’ll be on his way to da cave. It takes about three hours from there to here.
I think I deserve a nappy poo.
If you exchanged the TP holder for Chinese takeout, are you hanging the TP from a couple of lo mien noodles? 
Just got home, I wanna nap & go for a run, should probably do the latter first.
I’d much rather be here than FB.
I scan through FB a few ties a day to see if anything interesting is going on but for the most part it’s too much religion and politics for me.
Maybe if I had two FB pages, one for family and one for friends, I’d go out there more often.
I didn’t even tell my family I moved although most of them know it by now.
People are funny though, I’ve been really surprised by how many people who have asked me if I wasn’t scared of buying an old house because it might be haunted.

Catdude glad you want to hang out here more. This place ain’t nearly as juvenile as it needs to be.
OYKW should be here anon or therebouts. Ok, around fourish or soon thereafter. The rolls have risen and ready to bake. When he arrives, I shall heat up the oven and stick the death chickin in to do its thang as it takes the longest to cook. Whilst it bakes I can “welcome” OYKW home in a proper manner.
