Purrseus and Schrödinger - that’s a great pair of kitteh names. Tell Mrs. Plant v3.0 it has been decided by the Mumpers - and you must always do what the Mumpers tell you. ---

I sent them an email requesting a refund and suggesting that maybe they should put pertinent information in their listings, too. We’ll see what happens. Finally listening to the [concert](http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/27681487) from last night. Love to hear this guy sing. He’s a local, but this is recorded in California somewhere. (Fast forward to 25 minutes or so to see him perform.) Oh, and they spelled his name wrong, it’s Zach not Zack. But otherwise, awesome! 😃 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 41 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 65 for the day. Winter closes in in south Jawja. **flytrap** yay for kitty rescues! I’m not a cat person but I am big on rescuin’ animals. Major karma points there. **Midget** yay for cookie bakin’. Just shows you can still have some holiday traditions even it said tradition is different this year. I know somebody whose last name is Utlaut. She gets junk mail addressed with her last name as Umlaut. This amuses me. **StickyBuns** I say kick up a fuss about returnin’ the ring and report to us in detail. It shall entertain us and that’s what really matters. 😃 Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. Hopefully TPTB will come and go in short order. Happy Firday Y’all! ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Hoe do you do the umlaut? Check the Character Map - it’s got all kinds of symbols and accents and diacritical marks and other cool stuff. Hours of fun just exploring!!! 😃 Good morning and Happy Firday! My sweetie should be home around lunch time today, and I’m thinking seriously of leaving here at noon. I’ve got tons of laundry to do and a very full weekend ahead. It’s in the 20s here - _brrrrrrrr!_ And that’s all I’ve got at this ridiculously early hour! 😃 ---

A lovely 34 degrees here as of about 3:45am. Forecast calls for showery weather for the next five days, highest projected temperature 55 on Monday. Still waking up, hoping cramps calm down enough that necessary defilthifying can happen. Dinner guests on Saturday. ---

I’m awake. The subfinder has managed to call me twice already. It’s always funny how when you say you’re not interested in a job it says “I won’t call you again today” and then it does about an hour later. I’ve tried turning off phone calls, but obviously I didn’t get it right. No matter, I’m up and going to have some breakfast and then head to the Y. I was going to skip it as I’m going on a long walk later, but there’s a small chance that they might have Aqua Zumba today and I’d hate to miss it. ---

Teh Stoopit - it _BURNSSSS!!!_ I just got a call from a guy who I’ve never met, but I’ve been fixing his drawings since I’ve been here. He wanted to discuss something about how wires were labeled and that the wrong power was going to 2 pieces of equipment. Yeah, he was probably right. But I told him 3 times I wasn’t an electrical engineer and I didn’t design the harnesses. He still insisted on asking about the 9 volt line and the 12 volt line… :rolleyes: Even if I was an electrical engineer, I didn’t do the design so I wasn’t in a position to change it anyway. And on top of that, \*\*FCD \*\*was trying to call me while this yutz was explaining this idiocy to me, so I missed an important call! My sweetie is on his way home. I plan to leave at noon - that’ll still give me a 6-hour day, and I’ve already done corrections on 8 drawings, so go me! 😃 OK, they were teensy little corrections, but still, volume, people!!! 😃 Anyway, I have an exciting afternoon of laundry and cookie-baking ahead! Woohoo!!
