Mr. Plant, haven’t seen you in a long time! How you doing?” and jumped up and down in joy. ---

**butters** , I was able to save AP some legwork right at month end this month with the resolution yesterday. They appreciated it. More skritches to **Bubba**. **{{{swampy and friends}}}** Aww **sunny**! You’re getting a smart pup there (I would be afraid to adopt a dog who might be smarter than I am. 😛 ). To answer the OP, of all of the things that I suck at, dancing is probably the biggest. I’m OK with basic choreographed stuff like the polka and square dancing and I have rhythm enough to play percussion, but to coordinate my feet to music that I’m not playing, I wipe out. Supper time! ---

I just loaded the dishwasher and started its cycle. When it’s done, I’ll pop the door open and head to bed. It’s a boring evening. I have no yarn!! ☹ My mom has some for me, but I don’t know when I’ll get up that end of the state. ---

**Yay on new puppy, Sunny** **Sari** you go girl. **Bear** you are a good man. sorry about Corrine. You could have been a school marm/usher. **Kopek** when is Prime day? I want to avoid it at all costs. **Moooommmm,** Enjoy your tomatoes while you can. We are without until Xmas. **MetalMouse** Do check in if’n you can or want to on your vacay. **Nettie and Big Kitty** Fingers crossed on job searches. **Rosie’s** sig. Almost 7 months on the 3rd. This time last year I met my terminal friend for the first time ever,even though I worked with her 13 plus years through mail and phone. I still miss her every day but especially during A/P as she was my person for that. Where is **doggio??** ---

The day is a secret above my pay-grade (everything in the company is above MY pay grade) but it will fall between the 10th and 15th. Betting money has it as the 10th or 12th. Our pseudo-anniversary is the 16th and they always want to get it over before that. ---

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! (joins in the SQUUUUUEEEEEEE!!!) There MUST be babydog pictures when she comes home!!! Thanks for the cheerup. I had some seriously stupid calls today, and the train ride home was highly irritating, “thanks” to the bozo who was certain that the entire train car NEEDED to hear HIS choice of “music” being blared through a crappy phone speaker. I was sitting 15 feet or more away and had to turn my earphones up to borderline-uncomfortable! Also annoyed with train driver who exited her cubicle several times to deal with loading ramp passengers and totally failed to address the general nuisance.
