**{{{Beamer Puppeh}}}** hope the little feller gets to feelin’ better. Smokeage is completed. Ribs are wrapped in heavy foil and coolin’ down and chikin is in foil lined pans coolin’ down. Smoker cleanage shall happen tomorrow cause, well, I don’t want to today. Dindin shall be smoked chikin laigs, au gratin N.O.T. from a box (don’t judge!), peas 'n carrots, and rolls. I also have baked beans and slaw made. Go Me! I shall now engage in sloth for a while. ---

I didn’t get the job. I did get another fill-in-for-the-day receptionist job next Monday. I really want to get away from receptionist work. Looks like I need to start looking at applying to the local community college for the fall so I can do that since my last job seems to make people think answering phones is all I can do. :mad: ---

Happy Thorsday! It’s bright, N.O.S., and hot outside. Sorry **BigKitty** {{{ **BeamerPup** }}} ad congrats on new **SunPup** I haven’t heard from the breeder, so I guess my pup will be in the next litter ☹ {{{ **Ruble** }}} ---

Send the rain here, please. We \*might \*see some on Saturday, but only 50% chance. Alas… What we will see is humidity. ugh. It’s been a draggy afternoon. I’m dealing with mega-huge drawings that take for-freekin’-ever to load. 40 minutes to quit. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Or perhaps it is a rhetorical question, but at any rate, I digress. Then you’ve come to the right place. Okay. What have I missed? Happy [SIZE=“1”]belated :o Birthday, Robin!!! [/SIZE] Everybody with sicks or owies, get better! Went to the eye doctor yesterday and got my peepers measured six ways from sunday. Got charged extra for some of the measurements that medicare doesn’t pay for. S’okay. I’m used to it. Only 12 more days until they do my right eye. Because of previous problems with that eye they want to see how it turns out before scheduling my left eye. _sigh_ I want to be done with glasses and contacts, dammit! On the way home I passed by a Firehouse Subs shop and stopped in. Good sammie! (I just knew you would want to know that.) I looked at the pics of the puppies, **Sunny**. That last little girl had sweet eyes. I’d pick that one. The dog I had when Wifey and I got together was a German Shepard/wolf mix, and huge, but totally lovable. I think I remember that **Beamer** ’s pup is a chi-hua-hua? The little guys very often have trouble with their teeth. Our yorkie has problems with his teeth, we think, and doesn’t like [del]nasty dry shit[/del] dry dog food, but he eats it by dumping his food out onto the floor where he can get at one little kibble at a time. There are reasons why we don’t feed them wet food that I won’t go into here. I have no idea what to do for dinner tonight. How does taco salad sound? ---

**{{{BeamerPup}}}** Sorry about the job, **Catamount**. Nothing much exciting here. I’m just hanging out with the pups this afternoon. Tomorrow, RT will be home for the night and back on the road again Saturday. And… Saturday is my 25th class reunion. I doubt that I will go only in part due to the fact that it’s being held at a bar. :dubious: ---

Home at last - traffic was awful on my usual route, so I turned off and came the alternate route which was also terrible. But I’m off for 5 days, so yay! We’re going out for supper - not sure where but I don’t have to cook, so yay! ---

Dindin has been ingested. Not too shabby if’n I do say so myself. 'Tis a rainy night in Jawja. Actually a rainy afternoon as well. Chillage now ensues. **BigKitty** sorry about the job. Just means there’s a better one out there. ---

Sorry about the job **big kitty**. \*\*{{{ruble}}} {{{pixel}}} Sunny\*\* , dental issues are something Sis tries to keep on top of with her chihuahui. Wonky teeth are part of their genetics. I’m caught up enough to likely knock off early tomorrow. I’ve had to reassure my boss that the guys upstairs want to leave early for the holiday too and will get their crap down to us early. He now owes me at least two computer freak outs. 😃 ---

I am finally back. **Pixel** -pup ran so late that I will have to go back and get him tomorrow, poor little guy. I’m sure he’s bummed to be back at the shelter.
