Some days I think I’ve wondered into the internet set of Grumpy Old Men. 
Yay for the new 'puter, emily!
Yay for stable wi-fi, rosie!
Went and saw the new Harry Potter that isn’t Harry Potter movie. We liked it. It was fun and had no depressing Voldemort anywhere in it.
Dh has promised me dessert, but he has yet to go downstairs and get it. I wants my chocolate!
Welcome to the weekend everyone. 
Up and caffeinating! I woke stupid early, but fell back to sleep till nearly 7, so yay! In the 30 minutes or so I’ve been up, I tended to Higgs and the kittehs, refilled the dog’s kibbles container from the kibbles bucket, refilled the pellet stove with another 40# of pellets, and emptied the dishwasher! Go me!! In a little bit, I’m going to shower, then run to WalMart before it gets stupid busy. I need some critter supplies and even with the drive, it’s cheaper to go there. I’ll probably grab some breakfast while I’m out.
Then once it warms a little, I’m going to run the sucker/mulcher over the front yard. I may also drive the mower along the side road just to chop up the accumulated leaves before tonight’s winds loose a bunch more. Tomorrow’s gonna be too brisk to be working outside - it may not even hit the 40s! :eek:
Which reminds me - I need to disconnect both hoses outside. Note to self…
Onward into the day! Happy Saturday!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 50 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 70 and partly N.O.S. for the day. We are enterin’ a cool spell of weather. Tonight’s low will be ONLY 34 Amurrkin! Guess I should drag out some cold weather stuff to wear. This mornin’ is for errands. We shall go to the likker sto’ to procure wine for Thursday’s feast and to the sto’ to buy collard greens. Then I get to clean the dang things. Rah. I shall run the fancy eatin’ plates and the fancy drinkin’ glasses through the dishwasher as well. I pulled steaks outta da freezer for Moanday night bein’ as that is men’s night over to the church house. Turkey is also outta da freezer and in da fridge to commence thawage. Also took some snausage out to thaw for tonight’s dindin which shall be pancakes, snausage, and scrambled aigs because I got a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for that.
rosie yay for stable wifi! Hope everything is goin’ well in rehab.
OK I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then I need to purtify and get busy I reckon.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Up, caffeinated and sheveled. I’m only working a 4 hour day tonight, because of the double yesterday. Gordie licked Alex Catt in the face last night. She had a Lucy Van Pelt moment.
Errands accomplished! Go Me! The fancy eatin’/drinkin’ stuff is in the dishwasher gettin’ all washed up. I suppose I should go clean collards. Or not. Remains to be seen. Right now I have a donjuana.
Up and caffeinating.
Headed to Tar-jay in a bit for a stick blender. I’ve reasoned myself into one. 
After that, lunch with friends and on up to SIL’s for tea.
I feel blah. They’re not giving me all my meds. “Has to be ordered by the doctor” but when a doctor comes in he’s in such a hurry to get to the next patient, he doesn’t stick around long enough. I haven’t had Prozac in 3 days or Medrol in six. I feel like shit.
Yes, doggio, please rescue me.
Back from erranding. The car has a full tank and amazingly, I only bought the items on my shopping list! Can you imagine?!?!? :eek:
In a little bit, I’ll head out to clear the leaves out front. It’s a purty day out there.
Happy Saturday!
Today is going to be the last somewhat warmish day for a while.
Swampy and MetalMouse - glad I could amuse you.
We heard another crash from the kitchen last night and the cat got another one. This time he let it go and it got away. Damn Cat!
Sah-son pointed out that at least the traps catch a mouse they stay put and don’t carry the dead mice around the house.
I thought we were done with mice but it looks like a new crop has set up camp. The Cat is staying in the kitchen with his eyes fixated under the stove.
At least he isn’t bored anymore.
I think there must be a new breed of super mice or something out there. I was talking to a friend this am and they just caught mice numbers 12, 13, and 14, and up until this fall they have never had a mouse problem. It seems like more people are having problems and where it used to be a mouse or two each season, now they are traveling in hoards.
Sunny poor doggy, gave me a giggle.
Lots to do today.
{{{Rosie}}}
Collards are still not cleaned. However, I have chopped up a bunch of celery and onions and have cornbread that will become dressin’ on TDay coolin’ on the kitchen counter so I have been productive. In other news ‘tis very windy out so leaves are blowin’ everywhere. Guess I’ll be dealin’ with leaves Moanday or Tuesday. ICK! However yay for a mower that mulches.
I changed the sheets, and put the old ones in the wash. Alex Catt “helped” me my christening each new layer with a lusty bout of genital licking. Brunch was mushroom sage quinoa with fried eggs. The leftover quinoa will be served with sauteed chicken tonight, thus answering which came first.
{{{{rosie}}}}
All righty, then. The front yard has been de-leafed, making plenty of room for the leaves that have fallen since I finished. I also ran the mower, sans mulcher, along the side to chop up the leaf cover there. And it’s above 70°, which is reason enough to open the windows till the cold front comes thru.
My turkey is thawing in a big bowl of water, and in the morning, it’ll go into the oven since it’s too big for the rotisserie. I’d asked for a small bird, but they gave me a 15# beast. No matter - it’ll make for several nice meals in the future.
Look at this - not even 2 and I’m done! Well, except I think I’ll change the sheets on the bed, but I can do that before I go to sleep. Gives me something to look forward to.
But would you pet a friend?
I’m not sure why you’d want one of those but let me help you find one.
Just got home, with new toys that were given to me. Important errands have been pushed back to play in the nice weather.
I’m a Taurus!
It’s windy here, and not as warm as it is where FCM lives. No sense in even trying to do anything with the leaves - besides most of them are blowing into the neighbor’s yard. It’s only fair though, since the other neighbor’s leaves are blowing into our yard.
I fell asleep watching Poirot, I should be up doing stuff, not sleeping.
I have to find something for the cat to sleep on. He’s been sleeping on a big box of TP that has been sitting in the living room for far too long. Mostly because Cat claimed it as his and so far we haven’t needed the TP. He doesn’t like to jump and he likes to sprawl, so maybe a big hassock or something.
**sari **- Taz likes to curl up on the various afghans that we have on that backs of sofa/loveseat/chairs. Ziva can be found on the dining room table (which is why it’s got that cheap vinyl tablecloth on it) or on the floor or under my side of the bed. Neither of them liked their cat beds or the little kitteh cave we bought. Good luck finding something your cat will accept!
Cats iz fun!
No reason you can’t use both mouse traps and the cat. Just put the traps where the cat can’t reach them, so he doesn’t get his paw smashed.
If I had been more awake, I might have gotten a picture of my dog perched on his tiny ledge. He did look more than a little ridiculous, poor guy.
We are off to brunch at the local diner, where we have to bring our own ketchup (autistic boy is autistic) and then to Costco. After that, I plan to recover by vegging with computer in front of TV. Thus the day.
Fancy eatin’ plates and fancy drinkin’ glasses are all cleaned and put back in the fancy cabinet they live in located in the fancy eatin’ room. One of these days I’m goin’ to get me one of those fancy eatin’ tables that come with pot passers.
Is that an implement of cuisine, or hired help? :dubious:
