You guys lost me somewhere. We might make stew tonight from the remains of the pot roast I made on Sunday. Yes, it’s damned exciting. ---

Home, exhausted. \*\*FCD \*\*was asking me how long I intend to work. There’s the possibility of a 4-ish-year contract supporting several programs, some aircraft, some shipboard. Works for me - I had no long-term plan in mind, but 4 years sounds good. Plus I’d become a permanent employee with vacation and everything!! Woohoo!! Supper will be grab-whatever. My sweetie doesn’t feel like eating so I don’t feel like cooking. Funny how that works! 😃 ---

Unemployment funds didn’t come through; no reason why. Can’t access bank of america due to site errors. We have bills that require money from this that is..where? Can’t get hold of EDD cause nobody answers, ever. Can’t access the email attached to my edd debit card because supposedly I have forgotten both the password AND my secret question word…not possible. It IS possible that I haven’t used the account in over 6 months so it’s gone fallow. I found the Kindle the account was attached to and am trying to resuscitate it to see if I can access from there. Thanks for the clarification (my brain is firing on fewer cylinders than usual today, due to insomnia), and best of luck with the EDD thing. ---

Today’s still a mess. No EDD resolution; hundreds of calls and redials, every single time having to wade through 4.5 minutes of messages and phone trees before getting the message “Sorry, we’re busy, call back later.” WTF happened to a busy signal, or a queue? I well and truly hate this system, with a passion. Also, garbage men decided to skip us or something, grand. Also, MrTao grumpy. And I’m grumpy. I think even the cats are grumpy; they went outside once today for about 20 minutes, came back in and have been sleeping all day. 😮 Today is just blurf. ---

The other pair of Neolamprologus pulcher have spawned. [Princess of Burundi, Fairy Cichlid](Princess of Burundi, Fairy Cichlid). From the four spawns we have about seventy fry. They can’t keep it in their pants. They are exquisitely beautiful fish, they are… DAMNIT TAKE SOME!! MMPERS HELP EACH OTHER OUT!! Ahem. Sorry. Swampy, OYKW would probably like to see the Princess of Burundi in an aquarium. Anyrose! Cats love looking at fish bowls! Mom, boats and fish go together! Try some freshwater species! DAMMIT, TAKE… Ahem. Sorry. ---

Probably wouldn’t be worthwhile for you to send them to me in California. Besides, the Queen’s zoomies tend to knock stuff over, so I’m not sure a fishtank would be safe. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from Evening Prayer over to the church house. Tomorrow is The Feast of St. Luke so we had what I guess could be called an Eve of The Feast of Saint Luke service. It included two really og awful hymns about saints. Dirges. Stately, staid Episcopal dirges is what I call such hymns. The kind where you stand there holdin’ the hymnal and go 😕 we’re supposed to sing??? Other than that 'twas a nice service. **flytrap** you said they’re frys and we are havin’ a fish fry over to the church house on November 10th. 😃 Also, the mean ol’ intartoobz won’t let me see the purty fishes. I’m sad. ☹ Yay for the B **Apes** I bsed my way to quite a few Bs and even some As back in the day. 😃 Ok, on that note I feel it’s beddy bye time cause da bear is tahrd. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

Can you email a few to me, **flytrap**? And, yeah, your link doesn’t work. I’m wondering about water aerobics tonight… She said to jog in place and touch your elbows together in front of you (repeatedly). Well, there’s a problem with this, either I have short arms or big boobs, because my elbows never seem to be able to meet. 😃 Sorry you’re having a grumpy day, **Tao**. ---

I’m off to see Dave’s family early in the morning. I need to come up with a name for them, though, because they are almost like family to me. How about my Happy Family up North? Yes, so, I need to go to bed soon because I’m going to see my Happy Family up North in the morning. 🙂 Goodnight everyone!!
