\*\*Kim \*\*- I’m probably having the most fun because I’m retired, so I can be a bum! 😃 Incidentally, if you live anywhere near southern Maryland, c’mon over and I’ll let you get up to your elbows in clay! \*\*gotti \*\*- that truly sucks. \*\*FCD \*\*was fired once because a high mucky-muck asked for opinions and \*\*FCD \*\*gave his - honestly and contrary to the cherished beliefs of mucky-muck. Interestingly, a couple of years later, the whole company ceased to exist - a pretty big deal for an international corporation, I’m thinking… Hope DH can find something else soon. I quit for the day. I’ve got a bunch of pieces drying, two new ones that I just threw, and another that needs to sit in the wet cabinet a couple of days because I put a handle on it and it needs to dry slowly so the parts can fuse completely. I’m hoping that next week, I can do a kilnload and deliver it to the store by the first part of August. I checked my clay supply - there’s at least 150# of new stuff and maybe another 15# of various reclaimed clay. If the demand keeps up, I’ll have to make a trek to Baltimore for more raw materials. It’s a long ride, but if I go a little farther, I’ll be at my mom’s and she’ll feed me! 😃 Tho driving 2+ hours for a free meal is kinda pathetic, innit? So, I guess it’s time to plan something for supper. I hate cooking for just me and I have no leftovers to warm up. I don’t want pizza. If I was inclined to put on non-grubby clothes, I could get sushi, but that’s a lot of effort. It’ll probably be a sammich night. At least there’s ice cream for dessert! 😃 ---

I attempted to go to the grocery store a little while ago and got out to the garage before realizing that I had forgotten to put on any shoes. Once I remedied that, I sat confused in my car for several seconds wondering why it wasn’t starting before realizing that I had not yet put the key into the ignition. It’s been one of those days. ---

**chizzuk** what can I say except I’m glad I’m not the only one. 😃 **MOOOOOOM** life is always good as long as there’s ice cream for dessert. That would be purty embroidered on a throw pillow. ---

‘Life is good’ ice cream sundae bowls, yay!! Kitty in a bag is easy, since they put themselves head-first into anything remotely resembling one, anyhoo. Once in the car though, they’d be all over the place, which _I_ don’t mind, even though I did once have a tiny kitten slip under the clutch while I was driving like that. But MrTao would have a fit. I’ll let HIM get them moved when the time comes, since he doesn’t like my way. 😃 \*\* gotpasswords\*\*- Ouch ☹ Sounds like the whole place is having issues; have him at least get a good reference from his immediate boss, sounds like he would get that for sure. \*\* Spiderman\*\* Thanks for the heads-up on Lowe’s; gonna call them right now and see what’s goin’ on. ---

Sounds like you have CRAFT: Can’t remember a fucking thing.🙂 I actually have a file named CRS on my computer, where I put passwords and such, just because I _know_ I won’t remember them all. 😛 But it’s been at least two months since I walked out the door with two different shoes on, so I’m getting better!\* \*To be fair, it’s the same kind/type/brand/size of shoe, more of a sandal.

My stepfather is home now and resting. My mom enjoyed her visit with me. I smashed my head on an awning support at a roach coach and now my head is killing me. I picked up a guy today. Well, I brought him to the gas station and then back to his truck. His work truck has a broken gas gauge and so he ran out of gas. I knew he had a 2.5 mile uphill walk to the nearest gas station so I gave him a lift. Nice guy. ---

And they look VERY alike, in the dark closet, in the early morning… About two months ago I came home from irk wearing two different black flats. no one noticed or if they did …too bad. I will remember to look in the future but at least they were the same color. ---

Thanks! I just did one better. I just told my best friend that I’m sick of her telling me what a shitty friend I am and I’m sick of her getting on my case for disappearing for 2 years. Seriously, she has known me since we were 15 and she still doesn’t realize that I’m the same friend I’ve always been and that I went away because I was having a complete breakdown and was suicidal. If she still wants to be my friend after this, we’re going to have to have some ground rules. If not, good riddance to her.
