Hello. I’s tired. Maybe a nap today. Before kids I never napped. Now, naps are wonderful things. I have seeded my back yard with an old-fashioned lawn mixture that supposed to be more drought tolerant. It includes clover and daisy. I remember growing up all lawns had that mixed in and no one thought anything of it, but nowadays folks like their lawns to just have grass. Anyhoo, I read about it and got nostalgic. We’ll see how it takes. I’m tired of just have a dirt patch back there. Here’s hoping this goes well. Happy Thorsday y’all. ---

I have some bad news, folks. **Butters** has gone off the deep end, as evidenced by the below post. ☹ Hmmm, the Keys? Send me some money for airfare & I’ll sacrifice to go down there & smak some sense into her. > [@Buttercup\_Smith](#): > > I am going to take the week off next week. Yay–Happy Dance.🙂 Including weekends I will have 9 days off **unless I decide to come back earlier** … In other news I made an email fake paw, I sent an email & asked that it be forwarded to “Allie” as I didn’t have her address. She’s ‘Ali’. :smack: In my defense, I’ve talked to her numerous times but have never seen her name written down. ---

Well, our safety meeting rolled out new security policies that will likely cost me money and possibly leave me undercaffeinated. ☹ ---

Yay–Happy Dance.🙂 Including weekends I will have 9 days off unless I decide to come back earlier… \_^&^&\*Grumble, Grumble)(%%#%^&%… I used up almost all my leave for the year this past March-April (albeit for a good reason–a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia-New Zealand), so since April 7th I’ve had exactly 2 days off and am hoarding my last two for Thanskgivning/Xmas. Still, a week with both ends sounds like a good plan. Going anywhere, or just vegging at home, butters? ---

Yes, **Red** , inquiring minds want to know. Did they move the coffee machine behind locked doors? Messing with a person’s caffeine is not cool. Probably illegal. Well, it should be. Paid bills this morning. Spoke to the disability people. I should do laundry and bathe the dog. Donwanna.
