Waves, then goes back to holding the brush for VBC while I finish reading. VBC brushes herself, thank you very much.

Long day, which was to be expected. It started with me noticing that hubs’ car had a scuff mark on the front bumper…like it had been bumped on a rock or curb at low speed. There was no other paint involved like there would have been if another car had been involved. When I pointed it out, he said it was there when we bought the car.

Brand new, from the dealer.

The Ceremony of Life was about as much fun as memorial service usually is. I was able to show the young ladies how to deal with a stoopid mistake that I had made last night without cussing. They left me totally speechless when they gifted me with one of these.

(I enjoy meeting other cultists, the randomness of it is always entertaining. I have a Cthulhu hatpin on my beat up hat, other identifying label pins on my jackets and a [Miskatonic University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miskatonic_University) sticker on my back window. The girls noticed and asked me about it and nobody is too young to be corrupted, so I answered and kinda forgot about it.)

I still don’t really know what to think about the cute Cthulhu needwork swag. I think I need more time to process what this means for future generations.

That sucks so hard. I certainly hope they aren’t expecting any copays out of you to fix their screw up.

You need to start sharing!

You are going to feel so good when you are done. I did my linen cupboard a couple of month ago and I get happy every time I open the door and see nice neat stacks instead of heaps of mismatched pillow cases.

I think you need to stop this nonsense! **shoe** barely has time to share her stories with us, if she goes off somewhere else, we will never get to hear from her because she is too busy getting a million “likes” over there.

I’m really liking the pics of other firecracker plants. I’d really like a [smoke tree](https://www.monrovia.com/royal-purple-smoke-tree.html), I’ve seen them in town (different climate zone) and they are fabulous.

A lot has changed since last year and you have more important things to deal with. You don’t have to put a veggie garden in at all, you can let the ground rest and spend the time saved relaxing with your hubs.

Looks around for pics of work in progress.

Diatomaceous earth works great. Go to the thrift store and buy a sifter, then sprinkle it around their hole. Use the food grade stuff you get at feed stores, not the stuff they sell at pool stores.

Well, go you! Are the package sizes still accurate (a can of tomato sauce has shrunk over the years)?

That is flipping horrible. I’m sorry and I hope they stop shortly.

Yeppers! I saw it happen in my mind’s eye as I read it and laughed so hard.
