Sooo tired. Sunny, go to doctor, it can only help. I gotta make grub run or we gonna starve out her in the great unknown. Mr. Wrekker is out mulching my flower beds. They look nice! He’s looking a little hungry, I gotta scrounge up something to eat, I am gonna call it brunch, and pretend I planned it that way. Lil’wrekker will want me to accompany her to beauty shop, so I gotta actually get dressed sometime soon. I wish I could figure out why I can’t sleep. It will show it’s ugly head soon, I hope! I am done with the muraI I was doing, I feel good about the gym floor, It is gonna be easier than I thought. So… I gotta move before rigour sets it. Happy Friday. Good luck with your Toe, Sunny! ---

Urgent care says I have a sprained knee and a bruised bone but not broken. I have a snazzy little foot boot that I am supposed to wear for a week, and then re-check. Sigh. I feel I should Pit myself for being so clumsy, but it takes too much effort. ---

Back from a nice visit with Miss Becky. I brought her some puddin’ cups (chawklit cause that’s what she likes) and some Hershey’s Kisses[sup]TM[/sup] which pleased her so I won points. 😃 I went by the lawyer’s office and picked up that copy of Mr. Frank’s will for JDD. It’s gotten hyooooooooomid out but it was cool in that office. Plus there is a waitin’ area with big leather couches. I wanted to lie down on one and take a nap but I was taught that would not be polite so I didn’t. **Rio** Been There; Done That many times. Yet another reason why retirement is a wunnerful thing. ---

**Blurf** Went to the Pubic store and got steaks for dinner tonight. Filet Mignon non the less. That with baked N.O.T.'s and bag salad (don’t judge) shall make supper yummy and easy. Been trying to rain off and on here all day. I am so tahred and ready for the weekend. One more hour and I shall head home. I have to clean the house and do a ton of laundry this weekend so that is the plan. Happy Firday and TGIF ---

So, there is an overturned fuel truck on the highway closing it. I am stuck at irk as it is between irk and home. Not the way I wanted to spend my Firday night. One of my employees has invited me to her house and I just may if traffic does not start to move pretty soon. ---

We have supped. All is well. **{{{Butters}}** this has just not been your day. I hope the traffic lets up so you can get home. I suggest you marinade in wine while hubby cooks the steaks. ---

Making Italian chicken with rice, and spicy green beans and tomatoes.

**{{{sunny}}}** There’s a reason that I carry Nelson until we’re off the stoop. Yes, I’m about that coordinated. **sticky** , not everyone is cut out to teach, let alone teach special needs students. If you’re not one of them, well, at least you tried. Welcome back **rio**! **{{{butters}}}** Say hey to Miss Becky for me **swampy**. 🙂 Irked, grocery shopped, walked the dog and swung through the Captain’s for fish. When I was out with Nelson, the neighbor from earlier this week made a point to be around my building with his sister’s dog. After five minutes, I was beginning to get creeped out. I don’t like to be rude and the dogs seem to enjoy sniffing and playing, but I’m going to say something to his sister if this continues. ---

The lil’wrekker’s hairs are spiffed and un-grossed out. Cute as ever! We had pedicures while there, we have matching sparkly-pink toes-its now. Her and girl cousin went back to town to catch a flick. Mr. Wrekker and son went nite fishing. Everyone was fed early, kitchen cleaned, so I am binge watching ‘The walking Dead’ , I aint got no gas left in my tank today. Last duty will be to take Dog jr. Out to potty, she can’t go alone cause of coyotes will have her for an appetizer. She ain’t ready yet, though, so she’s laying on my lap. Dog senior went fishing with guys! Well, talk to y’all later, happy weekend all! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 59 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 85. A couple of friends are comin’ over around fiveish to hang out and have scramble dawgs. Pretty much everything is ready except for grillin’ the dawgs. I’ll put the chili in a slow cooker to warm up this afternoon. The other big plan is to assemble a chikin pot pie for N.O.L. tomorrow. Beyond that, well, who knows! Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then I suppose I should purtify. Happy Sattidy Y’all! ---

I woke , after another tossy turny night, dreams, I suppose! Can only remember vague face of my long dead Mother, she had a book in her hand. Must mean something! Got coffee made, I was sittng and holding the cup on my thigh, I dont know how, but I spilled it all over my leg, ouch!! So got more coffee. I am just sooooo tired, I ain’t doing anything today, every body is up and about but me. And I am ok with that. I got lil’ wrekker working on her closets. Son Wrekker is helping his dad with something in the barn. They all ate cereal for breakfast, So that means bigger hunger at lunch. I hope they go somewhere else (no luck on that). I can send one to town for pizza, yeah thats the ticket! We will see if I can pull that off! Y’all be happy!
