**swampy** , you never disappoint!!! šŸ˜‰ Just a reminder: party at my place next week. If you plan to attend, please confirm, and donā€™t forget to ask for directions! Iā€™ve already heard from some folks on FB, but Iā€™m covering all bases. Just finished vacuuming the carpets and cleaning the toilets. Canā€™t have my MIL thinking Iā€™m a total slob. Altho she probably couldnā€™t see what I saw anyway. šŸ˜ƒ ---

If it says anything about the roomies, I learned today that thereā€™s actually an Eagle Scout fraternity. And the other 2 guys are in music fraternal organizations. Plus my kid. The Eagle Scout and I are planning all of the apartment suppliesā€¦ because heā€™s prepared for stuff, and Iā€™m the mom. Betwixt us, we are prepared for shit. I pulled up an old thread earlier, from when DaNiece and her sweetie were leaving my house to face the great beyond. Lots of good ideas there. But I still feel like Iā€™m forgetting important stuff. If yā€™all have notions, please chime in. ---

I have already warned my child to expect a package of condoms, a random supply of ladiesā€™ monthly hygiene supplies, and a pamphlet for plan b. My child isnā€™t shocked by my approach to life. The other boys might be. I donā€™t know. At their age, I donā€™t expect wisdom, even though they are all smart on paper. My best hope is that they might call me if they need a bit of experience or a ride. I am glad to help with either. ---

My parents also dumped all of their old furniture in my general direction and moved out of the childhood abode. Heck, all of my relatives looked at my independence as an excuse for them to dump their old stuff and buy new things for themselves. Iā€™m much better at saying ā€œnoā€ now. ---

Mama Plant gave me a box fan from her Husband (v.3.0) that burned down the trailer that Mrs. Plant (v.2.0) and I werenā€™t living in. Killed two cats and the fish that were in the aquarium Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) gave me when we were dating. ---

Now why would you do that to a sweet, innocent little birdy? Make the cee-mint shoes for **flytrap**. My irk day started off needing suntan lotion (on only the 2nd sunny day of the month). Bossman just got back from 1Ā½ week vacation; hasnā€™t gotten thru all emails yet. Today he was in an all-day, do-not-disturb management meeting. Yesterday was my 6-monthaversary. Because he was out & hasnā€™t fully cleaned out his inbox yet, he missed the email stating that he needed to approve my continued access so I was not allowed in the building as my access card had been disabled because he didnā€™t respond. :smack: I sat outside on the bench until another long-time employee (who I donā€™t even officially work with - he sits in the next aisle) came in late, saw me sitting there & heard my tale of woe went inside & kicked ass & took some names. Kind of like when the professor doesnā€™t show for class, I was \>\< close to enjoying the sun _all_ day. ---

I guess weā€™re as ready as we can be for the inlaws. \*\*FCD \*\*tried to sleep in the guest room last night, but couldnā€™t. Then tried the recliner, and sorta did a little. But once I got up, he commandeered my wedge pillow, and I helped him get settled in our bed. Iā€™m still not sure why he didnā€™t do that last night - I told him he could have the wedge and Iā€™d work something out. Sometimes, that man makes me crazy!!! Anyway, if heā€™s not sleeping, I think he will be soon. Meanwhile, the critters have been tended and Iā€™m killing a few more minutes before leaving for the office. Iā€™ll stop enroute at a WaWa and grab a salad, a soda, and a breakfast sammich. Iā€™m wearing my stoopit jeans today - the ones where the front pockets are so shallow, they wonā€™t even accommodate the length of my fingers, and my fingers are kinda on the stubby side. I donā€™t feel secure in putting a folded dollar bill in a front pocket. Stoopit jeans. I may find some fabric and make pocket extensions. And so it goes. Happy Firday the 13th!!! ---

Matter of fact the plan is to leave early enough to be at the church house for deheathenization. YP has two more Sundays left with us and also Sunday is also [Pentecost.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecost) a kind of biggie day. **Butters** glad hubs and you are home. Iā€™m sure King Louie was most pleased. šŸ˜ƒ OK, thatā€™s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. I suppose I should purtify a bit.

Iā€™m feeling a little better today, but my throat is still trying to be sore. I stopped feeling guilty about having to be off work once a friend on another site reminded me that pneumonia starts as upper respiratory infections. Oldest Sister sent out an email yesterday inviting the whole fam-damily to Oldest Nephewā€™s high school graduation/birthday cookout. This would be the kid who was born right after **I** graduated from high school. Stop making me feel old, kid! Iā€™m going to go to the cookoutā€¦right after I find an appropriate gift.
