We went to the little bar up the road for N.O.L. OYKW had a burger and fries and I had a really good bowl of chili. Now we’re back at da cave and chillage ensues. Still damp and dreary out.

Up, caffeinated, futzing with the Intertubz. About to begin more house work. Woot! :rolleyes:

Congrats on the win **Metal Mouse**!

**Mooommm** You are _too_ productive. I don’t know how you do it. 😛

Feel better **Big Kitty**!

Productivity ended a bit before noon. We just got back from getting a burger. \*\*FCD \*\*is taking a nap. I’m about to assume the afghan position - I’ll take down the laundry in a couple of hours.

Chillage is about to start!

OK - I have re-arranged the laundry room, including setting up a second cat box. I am taking a short break, then I shall do another room. Rah!

Happy Saturday!

It’s nice and warm, and somewhat N.O.S. outside.

**Sunny** my son was bullied at school and I still get angry about it. I know it’s a lot of the reason he is so shy and never wants to go anywhere. The schools know who the bullies are and they allow it to go on.

Pizza for lunch/dinner today.

I bought two sets of very nice king size sheets online at a Southern retailer. I knew it must be a mistake as the queen size sets were $89.99 but the king sets were $24.99. These were normally $148.00. I received one set of king sheets and one pair of standard pillowcases. I did an online chat with the company and I was supposed to get two sets of standard pillowcases. I still had the confirmation showing king sheet sets. Anyway, they are sending me another sheet set and a label to return the pillowcases. Why do I feel guilty about this? Not really. I took advantage of a very good sale. I am about to wash the first set and use them 😃

Too late to join you I suppose? 😃

I have unpacked many Legos. Most made it intact (and there was much rejoicing). 'Beamer is very happy. He wouldn’t let me unpack his Lego until now because he was convinced that they all broke on the move. 😃

Short break and then more Lego. He has a lot of Lego. If he ever doesn’t want it, someone is going to clean up on eBay.

I have good news. If you remember last week I asked for prayers/good wishes for a baby at my church who had been injured. I’ve heard not he’ll go home soon! I was so happy to hear the news. It was determined that there was no bleeding on the brain, or at least not hardly any.  
Thanks be to God.

Laundry is all in. I watched a movie and crocheted while \*\*FCD \*\*snoozed. That pretty much ends productivity for today. More afghaning ahead.

Today was my Moanday and Firday at the same time. It felt like a Monday. I’m heading out to the pub after dinner for [Schitzngyggles](https://www.facebook.com/events/232291323863772/)😃

Congrats on teh win, **metal mouse**!

Yay for **BakerBabyFriend**!

**Sunny** , I’m 54 years old and still have a six gallon tote of legos that I get out to play with now and then. 😃

I lunched, made a stop at Lowe’s for more clay pots and some more soil. Now I’m eating some good black beans, collards and cornbread before chillage begins.
