Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 71 Amurrkin out and clear (well, dark) with a predicted high of 95 and N.O.S. for the day. No real plans for the day which is fine by me. Sup shall be baked chikin boobs (is doin’ that in a slow cooker considered bakin’?), smashed N.O.T., peas 'n carrots, and rolls. I foresee some quality cee-mint pond time today. **{{{Sunny}}}** glad you got checked out. Hope things go well with MIL. **Bats** cool about the air time! Congrats! **Metal Mouse** no worries. The cremains are in a clear bag, whereas the trash is in black bags. 😃 Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, onward into the day. Rah. Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Say goodnight **FCM**. (only old folks like FCM and I will get the reference). You reminded me of friends of ours in FL who had a couple of dogs named George and Gracie! 😃 Roxy and I were a little late leaving this morning, and things compounded. I got stuck behind \*slooooooooooow \*drivers much of the way, and after I dropped her off, the way out of the subdivision was blocked by a school bus picking up a kid in a wheelchair. I’m not certain they \*had \*to block the intersection to do that… anyway, further delay. But I had a good sleep, despite 3 wakes to pee - could I have grown a prostate??? :eek::eek::eek: Another hot one in store - will this summer never end? Happy Thursday anyway. ---

Morning all. Same prediction today as the last 2 days, stray thunder-boomers in the PM, hopefully they will avoid us and I can get my soccer practices in. Need to take out the recycleables (it’s cut my trash collections way down) and do some general cleaning and pickup about the house. All y’all take care. ---

Good morning. **FCM** , you mean ‘insulin’ pump. 🙂 Not a lot happening, today. I got groceries, and stuck some ham hocks in the Instant Pot. I’ll let 'em cool, then pick the meat off of 'em, which will be added to the Soup Beans, for this weekend. I just switched out my CGM, and I’m seriously considering doing some hovelwork. ‘Considering’ is the key word, here. Bah. Have a good Thursday. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Time marches on in it’s petty pace, from day to day, lighting fools the way to dusty death. Isn’t that spotlight on you rather blinding? Got an email from the liberary - “_To renew your account or update contact information, bring your library card to one of the 18 public libraries in \_\_\_\_\_ County, with valid ID (i.e., driver’s license) verifying your current address. Photo ID is preferred but not required, as long as the document has address information_.” Here’s the thing, I have _never_ lived in that county. I used to _work_ in that county & got that card when they came to our orifice & set up a signup table in the lobby. That job was a couple of years ago & I don’t have much reason to be in that county anymore so I’m not going to bother with it but I both wonder how I was not only allowed to signup for something that I no longer qualify for but was actively encouraged to do such (they came to us) & why they’d want to cull their membership lists. Given it’s a county library I’m guessing they get county funds but isn’t that somewhere that they should encourage membership? It’s not like server space for a larger database is going to cost them much nor will people who don’t use their services. ---

Happy Thorsday! It’s hot outside. I have much to do today. **MetalMouse** we have had several of _the talks_ This talk is about getting his homework done before I go to irk in the evening, because when I get off irk I am heading straight up to bed and I am not going to do any proofreading on the way. ---

Another morning has been wasted. Did get the recyclables out to the can, but that’s been the sum of my activities. Just looked and it’s 88F now at 10:45am. Best reason I can think of to stay inside. All you working folks take care. ---

Hope your head is better **Sunny** And hope Hubs and DH are doing better. **Nava** , hope your new clients are better than your old clients. I’ve been kinda busy fixing the things that the roofers broke or poked holes in. Looks like we’ll be needing to get new gutters put on now. ☹ Bad night last night. I assploded at about 3:30, and again at 5:30. I felt kinda empty when I finally drug outta bed, so I just ate some leftover jambalaya and lime aid. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? :dubious: Happy blurfday! ---

Several others wanted him to nail my hide to the wall for it but he understood the joke and the moment and played along. It actually became a sort of inside joke around us with him assuming Waldo-like poses at random now and then. And I’m almost sorry its Friday; my Friday at least. This 4 day schedule will take some adapting. I did work hard, broke several good sweats, and had much fun.
