Huh? What’d I do?
That will be quite enough of that, young lady!
(And don’t try telling me you’re not young. You can’t possibly be as old as I feel right now.)
Absolutely this! There are magic ways of transferring money over the internet.
Yeah. It should at least be Butter Pecan.
Wifey spent the day wrassling with the unemployment dept, and I spent as much time as I could stand trying to make some order out of the chaos that is our basement. I’ve got 2 weeks, or more to get it cleared out, which may or may not be enough time. When I get all the movable clutter moved out of the way, I have to tear down/out the built in stuff. Shelves and floor-like structures. And I can’t find my reciprocating saw. #Le Sigh.#
{{{{{Dots}}}}} I don’t know anything about ECT. Didn’t even think they did that anymore. But I do know something about depression. Not necessarily a lot, but something. I can tell you that it doesn’t have to be permanent, and having people around who care and want to help is a very good thing. Hang in there, and lean on us when you need to.
I promise I’ll get pics of the critters up sometime soon. I have to get them off my phone and onto this computer first. Oy.
Later.
Sending support and love to all.
Angel:
She’s awake in this picture, but she likes to sleep like this, too…
I’m starting to think this is the official ice cream flavor of the MMP.
Kitty! At least at this angle it look like Angel’s has her (his?) own built-in mask.
{{Hugs}} for everybody who needs them. Which is probably everybody. Hugs are always good.
Yes. 36.
Because the world is not built for autistic people, and so many people misunderstand us and mistreat us without even knowing it, and it’s hard for us. Because of this, the suicide rate among autistics is so high that it brings the life expectancy all the way down to 36.
I hope to beat that statistic, of course. And advocate and educate people about autism, to try to bring up that number.
Thank you 
Up, caffeinated, and sheveld. Off to sort.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 93 and maybe rain. Or not. TWPTB are bein’ willy-nilly about this again. We had off and on torrential rain yestiddy. The big plan today is laundry. We shall do a late N.O.L./early sup at our favorite Mexican place. OLÈ!
Butters and Dots hope today is a better day.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
OMG - I remember reading this to my daughter - the one who turns 35 next week! 
I’ll add another truckload of {{{{{ }}}}} to the pile - tons to share for all who need them. Have a few deep cleansing breaths, too.
Slept with Mel, so I got myself a bunch of consecutive hours - huzzah! It was still mostly dark when I got up, donned yesterday’s clothes, and did my walk. I carried a flashlight, but turned it off halfway around the route. Daughter called when I was in front of the house next door - she wanted to get to school early and needed to know whether she should walk her spousal unit. Glad I didn’t opt for the longer walk. Once she left, I let Roxy watch TV in my room while I showered. So at 7:30, I’m exercised, clean, dressed, and fed!
Today is their walk-thru prior to closing tomorrow. SIL will finally get to see the space that will be his play room. The house has a separate “studio” that was locked when they first looked. Daughter got to see it during the inspection, but SIL had to work. So he’ll see it today, and tomorrow afternoon it will be theirs. I called the lawyer to verify they’d received the closing funds. All that remains is signing a lot of papers. SIL’s sister will watch Roxy - FCD has a meeting scheduled during closing and I have to be there because I’m the co-buyer. Very complicated…
I think I’ll try to take Roxy to the playground a little later today. Other than that, no real plans. yet.
Happy Tuesday!
Consider me in line for some. I miss hugs so much. Empty nest is very overrated.
You’re doing a good job with the educating and advocating. I’m learning from you every time you write.
Morning all. Off to do the middle school run, joining the thundering herd of cars jockeying for the very best 12 feet of curb space. Yesterday had a near miss by inches. Guess she wanted my spot. Brand sparkling new SUVs still with dealer plates might want to watch out for those fender crunches.
Boo
Happy Toosday!
It’s a muggy morning, supposed to get up to 91 with thunderboomers this afternoon.
I doubt much will get done on the fence today. He has a few inspections he has to be there for this morning, and the storms are supposed to come through around 1.
Quiet morning at the dog park, all of them were being a bit lazy today.
Except Jax, he will chase his ball until he drops.
He kept bringing it to me though.
Jax is funny, when he gets there and is full of energy, he takes the ball to his mom. She has one of those stick thingies to throw the ball, so it goes really far. Then as he gets tired, he takes the ball to Lily’s mom to throw it. She can’t throw it as far as his mom can. Then when he’s really really really tired, he brings it to me, because I can’t throw a ball for shit.
He does his best to never let Urban’s dad throw it. Urban’s dad can throw it over the pavilion and almost out of the park.
Anyway, when I throw the ball I try to bounce it off the edge of the patio so it will go further.
Poor Ripple was sitting there minding his own business. I threw the ball, it hit the edge of the patio, and bounced right onto the top of Ripple’s head.
Why does your daughter walk her spousal unit, FCM?
Or are we better off not knowing?
Realtor still wants to see my house. I was trying to get it to look like a magazine cover, but I am not that motivated. The house will be what it is. I think he is wasting his time anyway. I look at the listings everyday and nothing has inspired me to want to move. Well, nothing that I can afford anyway.
Hugs all around, if you need one. I’m kind of stinky though, one lady brought a can of OFF! to the park. I used some and damn does that stuff stink.
Good morning, all!
Dear God, I hope EC doesn’t bring any birds into the house today. My heart can’t take it. No to mention the birds’ hearts.
Didn’t feel like walking this morning. It’s still sooo humid here, as soon as I come in, I immediately have to change clothes.
@SurrenderDorothy How is the day looking to you this morning? Tolerable, I hope? I have had you continuously in my heart.
I’m sure that was a typo for “wake”.

79 out, heat index 82 (26 and 28 for the furriners amongst us 
), cloudy with a 30% chance of heavy rain. Supposed to get down to 60 tonight, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s the next two days. 
Caffeinated, but not yet fed. I have leftover steak (housemate bought steaks, so we didn’t fix the above-mentioned chicken), and possibly mash, that I should go do something about…
Happy cake day to me! Today is the anniversary of the day you joined our community!Nothing else sked for today, other than feeding the bunnies (do I need to post pictures of them, too? ) and reading.
Yes, we need bunny pictures.
Doesn’t look like it rained last night. Might today.
I picked up some free wood from a big box of scraps in front of some fabrication shop the other day. I may play around with cobbling together some shelves for the rattie enclosures. I’m running out of floor space.
All right – who added that rubbish to my post? [expletive deleted] discobot…
Good morning all. Woke up to the alarm blinking, apparently the power blipped out sometime last night, so I had to reset the alarm and the clocks on the range and microwave. Did the financial checking on-line I had planned (all is well), so need to head out for several hours of shopping fun. Rain and tunder-boomers from the tropical storm(s) are about 50 miles south of here according to the NWS radar, so need to get a move on.
All y’all have a good 2day.
Afternoon all, and {{hugs}} all round if required.
Irk fun is starting up; I have Schrödinger’s meeting today- I’m not actually contracted to start until next week, but this is apparently compulsory training. The IT system is also getting me tempted to start with the banging head on the wall, and I’ve not even started yet- apparently the system was not designed for someone to have both a student and staff account, and for some reason, it seems to regard the student one as default, so half my irk stuff is being sent there. Plus half the system is apparently on BST (ahead one hour) while the other half is on GMT, so I’ve been given two different times for the meeting which I both should and shouldn’t be attending, neither of which state which time zone they’re using. At least it’s online, I don’t have to drive an hour away for this silliness- that starts next week.
No 
checking today- it’s barely stopped raining sideways all day, though it’s starting to calm down now a little. Fingers crossed tomorrow will be nicer, I’m getting a little cabin fevery, and I want to go walkies, even if I don’t have a spousal unit to take.
