See y’all tomorrow, god willin’ and the world don’t end.

Thumbs up
{{{{FCM}}}}
Feel better,** FCM**.
Midget, the tv is on here right now. When I can I’ll watch your video.
I’m up too early this morning due to the call of nature. I wish Nature wasn’t so loud sometimes. Today is the last big day of cleaning. Unless someone becomes trapped under a heavy rock, I think the HFUNs will make it here tomorrow for cookie baking.
Up, caffeinated, off to irk.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 29 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 56. Oh and, of course, the heat in da cave is actin’ up. :rolleyes: So in a few minutes I get to call the heat and air folks to see if I can get somebody out here to look at it. Le sigh.
Midget nice piece of music. Of course one can self-promote here. Either shamefully or shamelessly. We’re good either way. 
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, I get to sit around and wait on somebody to come take a look at what’s wrong with the heat. It’s just endless excitatement here at da cave!
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Hullo. I’d say good morning, but that would be a lie, partially. I didn’t feel too bad when I first woke up, but now, after a shower and donning some comfy sweats, I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck. I guess the nyquil-equivalent is wearing off. ugh.
I may try to do some laundry today - the most strenuous part of that is going down and up the stairs. But first I need something to eat, and nothing in the house appeals. I need a Breakfast Fairy to show up with exactly what I want, whatever that may be. I’ll probably just make a scrambled egg sammich.
Apparently the Ramada that I’d picked for our enroute stay on the road was pretty sad. **FCD **called me last night after they’d checked in, less than impressed. I asked if the sheets were clean at least, he said he thought maybe they were clean, but maybe stained… :eek: So I’ll now scratch Ramada off our list when we need a place in the future. They should get to Ocala about lunch time, assuming they get on the road early. We shall see…
Lessee - the weather - it’s overcast and dreary and cold here. That’s the best I can tell from looking out the window plus reading the temperature gadget on my screen. 37°F. Happy Winter! Oh yeah, and we survived the Mayans. But it looks like a mild spam infestation.
Happy Saturday! Send medicinal chocolate!!!

- You do not need to censor yourself - I often shout the Christians’ Messiah’s name when shocked/angry/unnerved/etc
- If it really said that, then it’s not a fruitbat, and I’d be very careful to avoid paper cuts and the like in its presence.
- Hi, Opal
- Are you withholding foot-rubs now? I’m going to have to tell Mrs Plant v3.0 on you.
I’m such a bad cat-mommy. I completely forgot to clean their box yesterday. But it’s clean now, so there’s that. At least they didn’t exact vengeance on any of the furniture.
I’ve had an egg sammich and a couple of oatmeal cookies, and I’m finishing my diet coke. I’m still feeling weird - I think it might be a nyquil hangover. I just want to go back to bed. After I finish reading my morning funnies, I’ll assume the Netflix position on the couch and see how that works.
I has heat! I got a call from the heat and air place (I had left a message) and I explained what was happenin’. I went out and pushed the reset button on the unit per instructions even though I had done that earlier to no avail. For whatever reason, the heat is workin’ now. After I pushed the reset button heat and air lady said she’d call back in ten minutes to check on it. Sure enough she did. Still workin’ so appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed.
FCM, I went looking for medicinal chocolate and thiswas the first thing that came up. Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, though. 
ETA: Yay for swampy’s heat!
heh -Sticky, I don’t think that’ll do… interesting concept, tho.
I was feeling semi-decent for about an hour. Now I feel like I’ve been kicked by pointy-toed boots while having cotton packed into my sinuses. ugh. I really am going to lie down now for a while. Tylenol first, tho - headache… 
Thanks all. 
Medicinal chocolate exists? Yay!
I self-medicate with too much chocolate.
Interestin’ medicinal chawklit there StickyBuns.
Midget it is a Mumper fact that there is no such thing as too much chawklit.
Heat still works. I shall consider this problem solved. Without a visit from a heat and air tech even. It’s a miracle!

Grey 'n horrifically wet today; had to go drop meeces off at mousesitter, and one road was closed due to flooding, and half the rest had a few inches of water most of the way across. I think I’m gonna ask for a boat for christmas.
Got badly lost, but made it there through the streams eventually, and got very very tempted by her awesome ratties, big snuggly softies that I wanted to take home. Maybe next year… after all, I don’t have enough critters yet, right?
I then ventured into the very gates of Hades, aka the local shopping mall on the last saturday before christmas. You’d think I’d know better than that, but apparently not. Was looking for last few presents for cousin’s small kids, (nearly 3-year-old buy and nearly 3-month old babbeh girl), but couldn’t find anything I liked that I could afford.
Dad’s present is still not here… please let it arrive on monday! I can’t afford to get a replacement one…
PS, Fruit bats are not the best weapons, but it is quite painful if they decide to use one as a perch. Just sayin’.
Aw, FCM, I’m sorry you’re feeling so icky. I hope you start feeling better STAT.
I knocked out all the rest of my Christmas shopping yesterday, with the exception of a couple of pair of jeans for my son; and stocking stuffers. Unfortunately, I will have to go out today before my daughter and her fiance arrive to get the stocking stuffers. It’s my own fault, but I’m still kind of miffed with myself.
I also want to get some robes for the Moms. I was at both Macy’s and JCPenney last night and their supply of robes was rather sad. Penney’s didn’t really have any, and all that was left at Macys were XXL. That’s just TOO big for the moms.
Good morning all.
Just woke up. Had hoped to end the 12 days of work on time last night but instead I was asked to ridealong with the US Park Police on DWI patrol in Greenbelt, MD. That took me 4 hours past my normal time off, but in the end it was worth it.
I learned that there are a lot of drunks on the road that time of night. I learned that if you decide to drive drunk, the Baltimore Washington Parkway is a stupid place to drive, since they had about an officer every mile looking for drunks. And I learned that as a Federal Officer on Federal Property, you cannot refuse an alcohol test. If you try they will take you to the hospital and you will get your blood drawn.
With the tips Sgt Zeilinski gave me on our ride, I drove home spotting about 70% drunk drivers at 2am… yikes.
At one point I was shooting two officers who were looking through the car of a guy who had sped right past us, talking on his cell phone, and who had admitted marajuana use when we hear “thump thump thump thump” and look up to see a car rolling up the road on a flat tire at 2mph.
He was a DWI arrest in less than 5 minutes of study.
Sooo, don’t drive drunk. And especially don’t drive drunk on USPP territory.
Bats have been experimented with as weaponry. Cite.
Up, been to the dump, and got what few of my hairs I have left cut. 'Tis time to bake cookies, then clean the lair.
[William J. LePetomaine] Work work work work work… [/William J. LePetomaine]
I was out before sunrise today - blech. But now the car is all inspected and updated and ready for the rest of winter.
gigity yikes! This is why I prefer to do any imbibin’ of adulterated beverages in the comfort of da cave.
Yay for inspected and updated vehicle Rosie.
BBBobbio I don’t know whether to be amused or appalled re bat bombs.
I shall take myself a little nappy poo now.
Laterz!
The cats are exploring the living room.
Penny is in her crate, really, really, really pissed off.
