Howdy Y’all! I’m about to bake up some rolls and then ‘twill be dindin time. The soup is also done and coolin’ down. When it’s cool enough it shall go into many quart containers and all but a quart of it will go in da freezer. OYKW will be here shortly and informs me he is staaaaaaaaaaaaaarvin’. That shall be taken care of in short order. **sunny** I am indeed proud! ---

Home from the grocery store and this time I didn’t get lost coming home. Finally figured out what I was doing wrong. It’s all the one way/dead end streets that got me discombobulated. I ordered a Jewish Apple Cake. The store called and told me they were out. I asked them to give me a Boston Creme Cake instead, even though I avoid that one because it’s too damn good. So what I got is a Cannoli Cream Cake. It looks good, we will see how it tastes. ---

> [@WildBlueYonder](#): > > I dont dare remake the bed without clothes on…there’d be trouble for sure…if "“he” were home! Oh, yeah, you belong here. 😃 Definitely! Supper was breakfast. I had an egg-n-cheese sammich and \*\*FCD \*\*had fried eggs and bacon and toast. We’ll have apple crisp and ice cream later. I don’t want to pack lunches - I think I’ll just make sammiches for tomorrow. I can’t deal with doing a week’s worth. ---

I couldn’t do it. I went to the vet quarters, turned in the parking lot and all the bad memories came flooding back. So I left. I’ll explain it to Big Boss tomorrow, not that he’ll understand. I guess those demons aren’t ready for any exercise. Or exorcise. ---

Dindin has been ingested and there’s enough left for tomorrow’s dindin. YAY! There’s ice cream if desired. Right now I do not desire and apparently neither does OYKW. He has decided he needs a soak in the tub. He’ll be all clean for later use. 😃 **{{{BigKitty}}}** you did right doin’ what’s best for you. Tomorrow is back to irk. Le Sigh. However, ‘tis only a three day week for da bear. I’m takin’ another use or lose vacation day on Firday. ---

Same with me…Direct TV added NFL Sunday ticket for free when I subscribed this year, so Sundays haven’t been very productive. The bathroom mission was scrubbed (:rolleyes:) and doing a couple loads of laundry replaced it. ---

Made it to the vet’s and back. I think I shall post some pictures of the cats on FB. I lured them to their doom quite nicely this time. Canned food in the bathroom, the crates up on the counter. They didn’t even see them. 😃 Now… hmmm… leftovers or roast chicken for din-din. ---

I accomplished little, but worked like mad to get that done. I was gonna have chicken with pasta and olives for dinner after work ,but they were out of the boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
