Doggone, **{{{{sari}}}}**!! Knock that stuff off!!! No serious, unexpected health issues are allowed in the MMP - I’m pretty sure that’s one of the rules. Sheesh! Another day and my brain is fried. As I was trying to wrap up one of my two mega-drawings, I found several errors (whew!) and I also discovered that what I expected to be quick wrap-up ain’t gonna be quick at all, dammit. I had hoped to get it done today - HAH!! And tomorrow is totally shot - we’ve got 4 hours of training on the main base, and I’m not going back to the office after. I have to get check prints to the originator on Monday - he won’t get perfect drawings, but they’ll be close… I hope… Just made an appointment for a tit-squishin’ - I was amazed that they’ve got an opening in 2 days! I expected to have to wait for a few weeks at least. So yay for that! I guess… Better than a colonoscopy, for sure!!! 😃 I stopped at the store and picked up my check today - they’ve sold all my tea towels. After training tomorrow, I’m going to pick up more blank towels and get them hemmed. I’ll do some more Amish towels, and I’m thinking maybe some crabs with holly branches or something equally festive! 😃 Bert will be making supper tonight - I think my sweetie just wants to get out of the house. Works for me - I don’t have to thaw anything. 😃 Happy Tuesday!! ---

I think you really need to move out of the toxic zoo you currently live in. No matter how zen you might personally be, so far as I can tell, there’s no possible way to have a healthy diet or stress level while you’re in that situation. Careful hugs, kitty purrs, and dove coos. ---

I played my bass clarinet at work today. 🙂 Didn’t do a whole lot else, but it was nice. I just wish the damn thing wasn’t so heavy. Ah well. Mikado rehearsal Friday. Yay! ---

Jeebus, **Sari.** :eek: Sending good vibes for a quick recovery. Hopefully your sister will ease off being such a horrible person so you don’t have to deal with so much stress. That’s not good for you either. Just got back from taking my husband to the dentist. He had a terrible toothache this last weekend. They yanked a wisdom tooth, and there’s still other work to be done. We’re hoping the wisdom tooth is the one that was causing him so much pain. He hasn’t eaten anything more than a couple pieces of toast since Sunday because it hurt too much to eat. ---

Eep! Careful {{{{ **Sari** }}}} Another day patrolling the empty car park- at least today I was on with someone else who agreed that it was better to walk and talk nonsense than sit and shiver. It’s getting chilly to be hanging round outside in the dark though! Brrr… ---

Gettin’ right chillified out. Winds are gusty and out of the NNW. That usually means freezin’ temps overnight. Makes me want to go snuggle under a blanket. Anywho, dindin is et and all is pretty good right now. ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > **Spaz** , yesterday I saw ALMOND SNICKERS. I did not know such a thing existed, and I can’t wait until my poor abused toothless mouth heals up enough to eat one. Almond Snickers are the only kind of Snickers worth eating. It is now below freezing in Hippy Hollow There has been talk of snow showers. There are snow clouds hanging ominously above us. I am skeptical if anything worth having will come of this. I declared war on the fruit flies today. I took the worm bin outside and dumped it, saved the worms and moved them to the new bin. Everything else got swept under the leaves. I also found a bruised apple that was banished from the manor. I hope the worms like coffee grounds because that’s all they’ll be getting for a week or so until I can get some more vegetables. There’s still a major infestation in the kitchen, but the vinegar trap of doom seems to be doing its job. **{{{sari}}}** ---

Happy Hump Day! It’s a more than chilly 27 degrees outside with a projected high of 42. I’m glad I don’t have to go out today. Actually I should go out but I won’t if I don’t have to. I hear it’s supposed to be in the 60s by Friday. We shall see. Sah-dog slept all afternoon and night until 5am. I guess he was wiped out as well. Thank y’all for the well wishes. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 35 Amurrkin out with a windchill of :eek: 27 :eek: as I post. The temp is actually droppin’ and may get down to 32 and then rise to around 55 for the day. Below freezin’ temps expected for tonight and then, apparently it warms up, as in lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s for a few days before it gets colder again. Thus it usually is this time of year around these parts. **Midget** you do not want to know about the “wind gusts” chili can cause at da cave. 😃 **sari** it sounds like you could do with some not gettin’ out for a couple days. Just take care of yourself. **doggio** I thought it was more children, small critters, and beautiful women throw _stuff_ at you. 😛 Ok, now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. Happy [Hump Day](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWBhP0EQ1lA) Y’all! Just. Does. Not. Get. Old. ---

It is 22 American degrees outside. That is colder than New York City. I do notice that there is no snow outside, so my prediction of first snow around Thanksgiving still stands. ---

Adding to the {{{ **sari** }}} thoughts! Blurfy Wednesday with nothing exciting on the horizon until Friday, when I drive up and visit the 'rents. I will get all you can eat oysters and see Jersey Boys. Yay!
