Happy Thorsday! The sun is shining! Somebody will be mowing the lawn today - or tomorrow being that it’s still pretty wet outside. Then it’s supposed to rain again Saturday. Thank y’all for the birthday wishes! Nothing much on the agenda today- mostly irk. Congrats **Doggio**! [SIZE=“6”] **Happy Birthday Taters!** [/SIZE] ---

**Happy Birthday Taters** and Happy Birthday again **Sari**. Congrats **Dogggiooo**. There was terrible thunderstorms, lightening and rain last night and on my commute this morning. I crept here at about 35MPH. ---

Interesting development - I noticed a new name plate on Andrea’s office. I thought the new guy was supposed to come in here. But she does have a bigger office, so maybe that’s why. Not that it matters, but it is interesting… ---

**Happy belated birthday, Sari!** **Happy birthday, Taters!** Conga rats, **doggio**! (does this mean that you’re getting the next round? 😛 ) Aqua yoga went well last night and I hit the sauna and whirlpool for a reward. Wrapping up something that couldashoulda been fairly simple, but has gotten two supervisors, two senior managers and three IT guys involved. Yeesh! But at least the problem will be fixed for next month. PT again tonight and home. ---

Howdy Y’all! Thursday has been survived. YAY! Tomorrow I irk from da cave. YAY! I put a small poke roast in the slow cooker last night and let it do its thang. In a while is shall be shredded, re-warmed, and sauced to make bbq sammiches for dindin. Ima do some oven fries and I stopped at the sto’ and bought some deli coleslaw. Should be a tasty dindin! It has rained off and on today but no big amounts and tstorms. However some surroundin’ areas to the north and west have been deluged. The weather PTB say to expect that here tomorrow. We shall see. **red** I once had three smoke detector batteries to go out one after the other over a period of three days. I awoke every mornin’ to _beep_ _beep_ _beep_ Things should not go _beep_ until enough caffeine has been ingested. ---

My phantom beep was my dishwasher when I popped the door open before the cycle was finished. I knew the beep was in the kitchen, but it took several hours and lots of climbing, squatting, squinting, listening, and cussing before I figured it out. In 10 minutes, I’ll have done an extra hour of work today. One more thing to do before heading home. I’ll post ya from there! 😃 ---

The random beep turned out to be a my daughter’s alarm clock. She had used some weird delay setting (nap?) instead of turning it off for the day. It started beeping maniacally about when I was writing my last post. Mystery solve-ed. Today is 73 instead of 95. yay!!! Tomorrow rain. More yay!!! i have given away the fish tank. hard to move. It’s gone on Saturday. I’m a little sad, but mostly 😃 ---
