Evening all. Burned a satisfactory amount of calories so that dinner did not have to suffer much and am now in for the rest of the day. And that bright sunshine from a couple hours earlier is hidden behind clouds that threaten rain any minute now, so I guess the Weather Wizards know what they were talking about. Still about 85F outside so it’ll be a warm rain, but still not planning on going out in it.

And catching up from the days postings…

**Cat Glove** , glad you could drive out of the rain, I did so on the way to my Motel in Sandusky, Ohio last month and got checked in and in the room before it caught up. And I am sure BF is a dear, but oh my, I’d think twice before traveling with her again…

**Oopsie** , that’s quite a Lego garden you have. And I also need to discipline my reading, the pile of NY TImes that I haven’t gotten through is reach alarming heights…

**Mollie** , I drink milk about 3 times a week (Cereal and Instant Breakfast) and only skim milk, so glad you have lactose-free milk available. As for the musical reaction(s), your mind is still adapting to the changes, give it time and patience.

**Lily** , I never wore braces either, have a slight overbite, the dentist got me some of those ‘mouth-guard-like’ things to wear at night but it disappeared years ago and I’ve never gotten it replaced.

**Taters** , a little trip is not a bad thing, hope you can find someplace to enjoy.

**Cookie** , Lovely orchid, but I’m concerned about your wife’s hermit-like habits, as it seems from your description that she had been outgoing before. I wish her (and you) well.

**Nettie** , Happy Doperversary!

And I can hear thunder rumbling outside, so probably be raining here in a bit. Take care and have a good evening and if I don’t get back, catch y’all on the next MMP.

Howdy Y’a’ll! We deheathenated (OYKW once; me twice) and then it was back to da cave for sammiches and nappage. I went back to the church house at three p.m. for another good group meetin’ and discussion. I had another sammich when I got back in da cave and then we watched stoopid teevee for a while. I feel tahrd, so may make it an early night.

**Nettie** Happy Doperversary!

**Mollie** is much more free to express herself than **Maus** ever was.

I see the endocrinologist in two weeks. I have counseling in a week and a half. I am now at the point where I’m asking myself do I give science the one fingered salute and start GAHT two weeks early, and let the pharmaceutical company list decreased androgens and increased estrogens as a possible side effect?

That would be fucking hilarious.

**Background** : we ask for the last 4 on your phone number (when we have two “Jones” a “Johnson” and a “Jameston” it helps keep things straight. Especially when your drunk ass pulls up and mumbles something incoherent that _might_ start with the letter J) and I’m used to people saying, or mumbling to themselves, their entire number, or asking someone, or whatever.

“I just got a new phone, I don’t remember!!1!”

Jeeebus, just say 1234, I just need something to distinguish your ticket from the eighteen other JT/JB/JC/JZ/holy gawds just say your damn name instead of your street nickname, I ain’t the damn po-po.

You know what the answer to “last four digits on your phone number, please?” is NOT?

“Yup.”

{ _cautious blank stare_ }

"Let’s try this again … "

There were lovely tunderboomers in the early afternoon & I saw lotsa lightning on the way home. Thus endeth the Mitten State report.

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave. It’s 75 degrees Ferret Height(23.889 Centipedes). It supposed to go back to the high 90s this week. Joy.
