Wow! Glad you are not dealing with the fire craziness. I ended up ordering from an Italian restaurant. Mozzarella sticks and chicken Alfredo. The furniture shuffle ended at 7 pm when the sneezing started. After putting just the cat blanket on the shelf thing, koritza sat there for a bit. I just sprayed catnip on it, she sniffed and walked away to sleep in the bedroom. ---

One bat. Which is better than no bats. There’s also a half-moon, half hidden by hazy clouds. (Say _that_ three times fast!) **Monkey** headed off into the twilight like he often does, but I ain’t stressin’ yet. The side door is barely almost-shut so he can push it back open if he wants to let himself in. Oh, I stopped at the dispo on the way home for four (4) prerolls, and not only did the manager handwave away my - admittedly paltry - tip, he threw in two extras for free. They lurve me. 🙂 Now I need to figure out dinner, and then … I have an incredibly sore spot on my shoulder blade, and I’m thinking a loooooonnnnnng hot shower is in order. Plus, I got a sample of some CBD muscle pain cream stuff - it was a dollar, I figured, what the hell, see if it works - and to re-use my own dumb joke, I think that … 🎶 _toniiiiight’s the niiiiiiiight …_" 🎵 ---

I napped.

Happy Saturday! Lots going on to keep me busy, yet in reality, nothing is going on. Just the usual little piddly crap stuff that has to be done, even though doing it doesn’t really change anything. IYKWIM We had some rain and the corn grew about two feet overnight. I have never seen corn planted like it is now. Usually corn is in nice rows. This corn looks like somebody just tossed seeds around and it came up whereever. We used to be able to ride our horses between the rows of corn. This corn is much more tightly packed together. I had catching up to do. Read all, remember little though. ---

I’ve re-primed the Seca II cowling. Tomorrow morning I’ll sand it again, this time verifying I’m using 1500 grit, and then wash it. I’ll move the MGB and the R1 out of the canopy garage, and move the ladder and ‘boom’ into it. SWMBO will make me go to church with her tomorrow, so I’m _planning_ to paint the cowling in the afternoon. Assuming this comes off according to plan, I might drive the MGB down to the self-wash to spray it off, and put the hood in the boot. Maybe I’ll even take the R1 out for a short ride. The shades over the bedroom window seem to help. The shade for the front window should arrive Tuesday. I took the front off of my fan and washed it, and the fan blades. Not perfectly clean, but it’s better than it was. It seems to have helped. The portable a/c is on now, but we didn’t turn it on until hours later than we have done. SWMBO wanted pizza for dinner. We got a medium (14-inch) Hawaiian pizza, and I ordered extra sauce and the thin crust. Fewer carbs with the thin crust, and it doesn’t overwhelm the toppings. We also shared a small Greek salad. ---

Poor **Coolio** is getting a workout in this hyoomid weather, but I am thoroighly cleaned and am assimilating both the CBD cream (review so far: solid “meh”) and a Hungry ~~Wo~~ Man tray o’food. Yes, the brownie went first.

She _DID_ get my phone turned back on - again - and ran some serious interference between me and my dad, so I will absolutely give her props for that. * * * Found an old tub of a different CBD cream, this is the “warming” kind. (Kinda like Tiger Balm?) Rubbed some of that on, and oh, my goodness. I smell like 2,000+ years of old lady, but dang, does that feel good. * * * Ratties will hafta make do with brown rice tonight - they’re already hittin’ those water bottles.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and partly N.O.S. with a predicted high of 98 and N.O.S. The big item on today’s agenda is deheathenization, wherein I get to plop in a pew. After that it’s back to da cave for sammiches, nappage, sloth, day drinkin’ and other appropriate RDOS activities. We may or may not get in some quality cee-mint pond time. **red** glad the family reunion went well. Reports about my family reunions always begin, “the survivors were…” **JtC** I think the date and walnut bars and ice cream cups would be a hit. The trick would to keep the ice cream from meltin’ before dessert time. Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then purtification for deheathenization must commence.

I got about 7 hours of sleep - that seems to be the exception rather than the rule, but it felt good. Except towards the end, there was a strange dream about flying to Australia and carry-on bags and something about cleaning windows on the car, plus the airplane was huge - like theater huge with similar seats. My sleeping brain has a mind of its own. Today, Daughter and SIL are coming over to get the twin mattresses for the loft beds, then they’ll stash Roxy’s old bed in the attic over **FCD** ’s shop, along with other stuff. I’ll wrangle the kids and Trevor. **FCD** is going back to work on the boat, despite making a short day of it yesterday because he was in pain. I think the man is insane sometimes. We’ve got 4 days of gawd-awful heat ahead, but it’ll drop to the low 80s come Thursday. And somewhere in there, I need to go to CVS - someone screwed up my anti-seizure meds info. I’m supposed to take 2 a day - one in the morning and one at night - so a 60 pill bottle will last 30 days. Well, it’s the 25th day and I can’t get a refill (according to the phone and website.) I’ll be heading over in person to get it straightened out and refilled. That’s something I absolutely do not need to run out of. I’ll probably have to wait till tomorrow to deal with that. And I need to mow, but not today - too wet, plus kids and visiting dog. Speaking of dog, Higgs is not happy about reduced meal size. She acts like she’s starving to death when I feed her. But **FCD** has been good about not giving her random snacks, so maybe we can get those extra pounds off her. I can’t believe it’s taken this long for him to listen to me and the vet!! Some people… Happy Bastille day and Happy Sunday!! ---

Afternoon, mumpers! It’s currently 17c/63f with a predicted high of 19c/65f, and cloudy. Weather app says “It’s cloudy because the sun fucking hates you. And by you, I mean fucking all of us.” We also have a weather warning for periods of heavy rain and potential localised flooding. Which means it’s going to be dry all day. **Taters** welcome back! I think you deserve a day of having someone else do everything for you after that mammoth trip. I’m glad most of your driving was scenic and unencumbered by road-idiots. **flyboy** Hope you get the sanding/priming/painting finished and you’re happy with the result. **JtC** I’m glad your friends and the cats are safe, it would be good to disable all those alerts from AZ now that you don’t need them. Does WV have anything you need to be alerted about instead? **Moooom** Sorry to hear that MIL is continuing to be vexacious, I’m glad she didn’t decide to call **FCD** Harwood, that just sounds totally wrong for him. **Swampy** Sounds like you had a fun weekend of entertaining, now you need to recover and get back to normal RDOS slothery. **Pilot** Thanks for the explanation about BB’s family background and the funeral rehearsal. Makes much more sense now. **Sticky Buns** Even though it is an expensive bandage, it’s good to know that you haven’t done any serious damage to yourself. We had a very good night out yesterday. After doing our errands, we were home just before 4pm and about that time, our friend was checking into her accommodation. We got ready, and walked up to meet her. Then we went for some yummy Turkish food at a little restaurant we’ve been to before - every time I go past, it’s completely empty so I have no idea how it’s survived for so long! I think it must do a lot of business through Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber Eats and suchlike. Since 'im indoors has fallen out of love with the Good Chinese Place, we may go to the Good Turkish Place for lunch on our way into town for a while. After food, we took our friend to the Posada as she’d never been there and we like it. The tavern wench was outside having a crafty smoke, saw us and said “Oh no, not you two again!”, we told we’d brought reinforcements this time. Had a couple of drinks in there and a natter about stuff, then took ourselves off to the Giffard for the night’s entertainment. The event was sold out so that was good news, and we arrived just as [Connor Emms](https://mmhradio.co.uk/new-saints-resonate-ep-9-2-24/) was starting up. He has his own band but this was a solo acoustic performance, although much of it was his band’s songs. It was very hot and sticky in the pub, so once he’d finished, we went out and hung around on the fire escape smoking area just chatting to people. Then we went back in as the main act started, another acoustic performance, this time from a local rock band - [Gin Annie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt2lnOYp8IU). We first saw them back in 2016 and have been fans ever since. They did a very good job, songs interspersed with stories and tour tales. We hung around chatting to folks for a while afterwards, then got a cab back and dropped our friend off on the way. She recently retired from Greater Manchester Police to move back in with her mother who has dementia. Unfortunately she can’t get out as much as she wants to because she can’t leave her mum for too long so she really appreciates the times when she’s able to get someone else to take over the caring so she can have some time away. We have very few plans for today, I was up early-ish to feed and medicate the cats, and change the litter trays. Then I went back to bed for a couple of hours! Got up again, and am sitting here rambling to you lot. We’ll have a couple of cups of tea, some lunch and then load up the car with a bunch of stuff that needs to go to the household waste/recycling centre. It’s not too far away, and it shuts at 4pm so we have a schedule there. I’m making meatballs and sketties for dinner later, and that’s about the extent of my plans. I’ll squeeze in a bit of slothage too. ---

After I was in bed last night, I had a terrible itching behind my right knee, so I went in search of some hydrocortisone in the hall medical stash. There, I found EIGHT tubes of triple antibiotic!!! _EIGHT!!!_ Not to mention the one next to MIL’s recliner, the one on the sink in the hall bathroom, and the one next to her bed. I’m pretty sure most of them came with her when she moved here. Anybody need some generic neosporin?? I did eventually find some anti-itch stuff and I fell blissfully asleep. Everyone is awake now. As soon as **FCD** gets out of the shower, I’m going to get clean and dressed. Daughter et al should be here within an hour or so. And soon my basement will be empty of beds - huzzah!!
