**Mooooom** , since Sis originally planned for time away to go to Florida with you, is there any reason she couldn’t come to your house and pet sit instead? Welcome back **gotti**! I’ve irked, grocery shopped, took Nelson to the dog park, rustled up supper from Captain D’s and made the filling for peanut butter aigs for Sunday. Chilling in with a pupper on my lap now. ---

I would be willing to bet that FCDaughter would want her Mommy. Giving birth for the first time is a BIG deal. **Blurf**. Home. Hot dogs was dinner cause I just couldn’t manage anything else. It was a LLLLOOOOONNNNGGG Week and I have to irk tomorrow. Dammit. I will be glad to have my weekends free again. I expect it to be very busy and I will be alone. I asked my one clerk to come and help me but she said she just couldn’t. She did have almost 4 hours of OT and she is pretty old. I will manage. If anyone gets pissy about having to wait they can go pay full price. Some of the tickets we sell are nearly 1/2 price. And all of them are at least a third off thanks to my negotiating skills at contract time. **Blurf**. I wish we had a Cracker Barrel. ---

Mega-blurf. SO glad to be away from irk and home. Currently trying to figure out what sounds worth bothering to eat. ---

\*\*Blurf \*\*. awake but not up. I don’t want to go to irk but I must. Have a great day all. Off to the shower with me. **Blurfage** ensues. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 48 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 74 and N.O.S. for the day. Food prep for tomorrow’s feast is on the agenda. The biggest item is the makeage of a cheesecake which OYLW will accomplish. Have I mentioned he makes a nummy New Yawk style cheesecake? We shall attend the Vigil of Easter this evenin’. Since The Vigil includes the celebration of Easter we shall not attend the biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig service tomorrow mornin’. Neither one of us is fond of big crowds so that works for us. Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, onward into the day! Happy Saturday Y’all! ---

> [@missred](#): > > **Mooooom** , since Sis originally planned for time away to go to Florida with you, is there any reason she couldn’t come to your house and pet sit instead? Yeah, she’s the one sib who doesn’t like any animals at all. Last time she was at our house, she constantly shoo’d them away, even tho they were just sniffing. She’s never liked any critters. Mutant… 😛 After hitting 80 on Thursday, we’re starting today in the 30s. Can we PLEASE get something close to normal weather??? I’ve got the dishwasher going. When \*\*FCD \*\*gets up, I’m going to strip the bed and take the electric blanket off for the season. That should assure snowmageddon again. Today’s agenda includes cleaning the critter fountain, laundry (duh!), making the Easter deviled eggs, and taking Higgs to the groomer. Her appointment is at 1, so I’m going to suggest we get lunch while she’s being purtified. It’ll be a full day. For now, I need to find breakfast. My diet coke tastes weird, dunno if it’s my taste buds or if it’s turned, but it’s going down the drain. Thus beginneth my day. Happy Last Day of March and Happy Saturday!! ---

First load in the washer, 3 more to go. Dishes are clean. I suppose I should do something else. I will. Eventually. ---

Mornin’ Nice day today and Easter, so I have no excuse not to mow the lawn (but I’m trying hard to think of one). Otherwise trying to decide on breaking fast here or at a local restaurant; haven’t had pancakes and bacon with a large OJ in quite a while… More later. ---

**butters** , head to tennessee and I’ll show you where CB began, the corporate HQ and lunch at one of the local Cracker Barrels. It’s a big employer in the town where I lived for 12 years. They have a big warehouse where they put the _crap on teh walls_ that their pickers scour the country for. Up, breakfasted, caffeinating, towels in the dryer, puppy crate cleaned and peanut butter aigs made for tomorrow. Now to stuff plastic aigs for the aig hunt (I’m down for a dozen), round up the play dough and tools for the activity table and make aigplant lasagna for the homeless shelter for this evening’s meal. Somewhere in there, I’ll purtify to go out in public. 😛 ---

Not mowing is better for wildlife, so there. Lazy day here, though I finally really got started sowing and planting things at the allotment. I _think_ spring is going to stay this time, whatever the tabloids claim. ---

Happy Saturday! It’s chilly outside, and we are supposed to get snow showers on Toosday. Made it to the armpit yesterday, dr appt went well. visit went well. Nobody else went, and Ripple had a fit that I left him behind. He was very happy to see me when I came home. I slept until almost 10 this morning. I’ts going to be mostly a lazy day. Just irking and some proofreading. I didn’t take anything out of the freezer for dinner, but I don’t feel like eating anyway. I guess I’ll figure something out when I get hungry. ---

Thanks **Red**. I will let you know if I get up that way. We don’t have an Olive Garden either. Home from irk. It was pretty busy and I had to stay after I closed to do a little programming on my point of sale system. But home now. Tahred. ---

Lawn is mowed, so I can nag **swampy** about his. Mostly brown grass and tiny pieces of grass/dust in the bags, it takes a couple of mowings for the green to start to come out. We have an Olive Garden, they seem to deliberately keep them rare (in my N. Ali-bama metro area of over 400,000, there is exactly One Olive Garden). Wish you hadn’t mentioned it, I still have some $$ on my Xmas gift card and… First requirement is purification via total immersion therapy. ---

Bed is made. I should empty the dishwasher, but I may put that off. For the most part, chores are officially done. Whew!
