I can just picture myself sailin’ down the Flint River on a UBoat replica. 😃 So, after my last post, I future ordered a pizza, called OYKW so he’d know when to pick it up, then mowed da yahd. I’s all showered and clean and pizza has been ingested along with a couple beerverages to wash it down. Life is good. ---

Happy as a bear in beer, eh? 😃 MrTao’s on his way home, and the animals will be happy to see him; the cats will sit on his chest and meow to be petted, but won’t do that for me. So the last couple nights they’ve been sitting on the floor meowing at me, but when I pick them up they get back down and keep meowing, lol. They miss their daddy-pets. Me too 😉 ---

So, I have this show tomorrow and it’s outdoors and it’s from 10-8. And… it starts to get dark now around 6:30ish. Anyone see a problem here? I do have lights and extension cords but I don’t know if there will be access to electricity or not. But I guess it’s better to drag the lights along than to not bring them and find out I could have plugged in. ---

Morning, all! It’s Caturday already…and I am still catching up on the jet-lag which means I was asleep on the sofa at 10pm last night, wide awake at 3am, and now it’s just after 9am and the laundry’s on. The cats have just about forgiven me for their enforced incarceration, it has taken a lot of fuss and many treats to get them to talk to me again. Poor Shadow has been quite anxious and has pulled a lump of fur off his tail which the lady at the cattery was quite concerned about, but since he’s not injured himself, they put a Feliway diffuser in the pen with them and that seemed to settle him again. He does look rather sorry for himself and probably plans some awful revenge for me calling him “baldy” for the last couple of days. The grocery run was done yesterday, so today I shall potter into town for the usual errands and try to make a decision on what to cook tonight. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 64 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 91 and dry, dry, dry. It must be Fall! **StickyBuns** one would indeed hope the organizers thought about that but one never knows now does one. Hope you sell lots of Cthulhu forks today. Plans today include mowin’ OYKW’s yahd and trimmin’ some branches off the oak tree from hell at the end of his driveway. It’s a smallish oak and some of the low hangin’ branches need to be trimmed as they are startin’ to brush up against vehicles turnin’ into the driveway. Can’t have that. Then we shall **N.O.L.** at the good Chinese place. I have steaks marinatin’ for dindin and I foresee nappage as well bein’ as I shall be tahrd and faint after yahd irk, of course. 😃 Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. I am considerin’ a run to MickeyD’s for a bizkit. I know how to live! Happy Sattidy Y’all! ---

Need to be out of here in 1/2 an hour, so I’m playing with pics and email, of course. Just wanted to pop in to say I just added several recipes to [the blog](http://mumpersrecipes.blogspot.com/) (going back to :cough: June). If there’s a recipe you want added, please PM it to me or PM me a link to your post. (I’m horrible at looking at email.) Off to get ready… Hugs all. GT ---

[QUOTE=dogbutler;15517067And college football and Dr. Who tonight.[/QUOTE] That’s _Doctor_ Who, not Dr Who. 😉 The dryer repairman came at 4:45 last night. He was scheduled to arrive between 1 and 5. :rolleyes: I need a new dryer but not today or even tomorrow. It would cost as much to fix it as to buy new. But I can keep using it til it dies and it won’t blow up or nuffin. Speaking of blowing \ it’s gale force winds today in the lovely northern Illinois. Going to yoga, to see the Wonder Pony, then steak for din-din. A nice relaxing day. ---

Ever have the feeling that you’re gonna die, then the dread that you might not? Well, that’s me. It started last night when my stomach was feeling all crampy. It kept waking me up all night, feeling like I needed to use the bathroom, but to no end. Then this morning when I brushed my teeth, I puked a little. ugh We decided that \*\*FCD \*\*needed to go to the boat closing himself and that I was going back to bed. I did manage to get maybe 3 hours of sleep, but I wasn’t feeling much better. He just called to tell me that we’re no longer boat owners and that he was going to wander around Annapolis for a while. I came out here, started this post, and paused for some more puking. I don’t know if it’s from the peanuts or the pizza last night, or just a bug that I was lucky enough to pick up somewhere. But I feel like crap. I also feel dehydrated and I don’t know if I should just drink water or if some tea would help settle my tummy. Hope you’re all having a better Saturday than I am… ---

I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, \*\*FCM. \*\* Do you have some Sprite or 7-Up? That kind of helps with tummy issues sometimes. Some people use ginger ale. Also, I’ve heard the peppermint tea is supposed to soothe the tummy. It never worked for me, but people I know swear by it. I’ve been up for quite some time and am drinking coffee and cruising the net. I plan to shower shortly and take care of some errands, then come back and start operation clean. I figure if I can get the errands taken care of, I’ll have the rest of the day today and all day tomorrow to devote to my house. ---

Hydrate as much as possible, and here’s a little secret from a guy who has had to puke a few too many times (kidneystones): If you think you are going to vomit, chew down a few fruit flavored antacids. They will neutralize the acid when it comes up, and frankly make the puke taste not too bad at all. Almost tasty. Seriously. Good luck and feel better.
