\*\* Metal Mouse\*\* Patches is always moving around, finding new places to sleep. I think the closet is her newest place. She’s a Hawaii cat so she likes the heat. And unlike the cats in the mysteries I like to read, she’s never helpful with anything. 😃 **Kopek** That sounds lovely, actually. Lake Wobegone, here I come! ---

> [@nightshadea](#): > > Tell me something …. does anyone make a premade turkey “burger” that dosent taste like Styrofoam ? thank god we had chilli cheese dogs tonight …… We get pre-made turkey burgers from Costco that are pretty good. Don’t know what brand. Prolly Kirkland. Also check Trader Joe’s. They used to sell a chicken patty that was really good, but we haven’t looked for them for a while. Sorry 'bout your teething woes, **Juliet**. I went to the dentist this week and it turns out I have a cracked tooth, under a crown. I’ve only been having mild discomfort from it however. Nothing like you’re having. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > I pulled out my guitar to play for Roxy and discovered that my left index finger is too stiff to do chords properly. I don’t think it’s arthritis. One thing that I know will loosen it up is holding a massager. I used to use one on **FCD** ’s back when he’d get achy from working on our boat, and while I don’t like them myself, I found that the same vibrations that eased his muscles worked well on the muscles and joints in my hands. I hadn’t thought of that. **Wifey** and I both have arthritis in our hands. We used to have a vibrator/massager (not that kind, you pervs), around here somewhere. I’ll have to look for it. > [@kopek](#): > > Skipping all the obvious jokes about the closet 😃 let me say that medical science has found a cure for hot weather; it’s called “Minnesota”.

Got soccer practice in just before the rain (rather light for now) began to fall. Now we’ll see if it stays dry enough tonight to play soccer tomorrow. Not much else going on. Will stay in and be internettin’ this evening and need to be abed early as the first game is due to start at 8:30am. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from a loooooooooooong afternoon/evenin’ over to the church house. I did Stations of The Cross (AKA The Way of The Cross) at noon and enjoyed that very much. Afterwards it was slice up fish, make tea, toss fish in cornmeal, salt, and pepper, set up for eatin’, and a couple hunnert other things. Plus, the actual servin’ of food and all. The clean up crew did a wunnerful job afterwards. The cook crew was great! We even had brownies and cookies for dessert thanks to two wunnerful people who made and brought 'em. All in all a good time was had by all. I shall betake myself back tomorrow to make sure everything is good in the kitchen and to retrieve my outdoor cooker. Soon it shall be beddy bye time. ---

My mom had some more tests today. We’re waiting to hear from her cardiologist. Mom seems to be feeling much better, so that’s good. The buyer on our house backed out of their contract on Weds. We confirmed a new buyer yesterday, and have the contract tonight. I found a huge mass in Kona-dog’s belly. Turns out it’s just a huge fatty tumor (which is good). Despite all of the weird things people did to him today he’s in a fine mood. He’s a good boy. Steak sandwiches for dinner tonight. We’ll probably do BBQ tomorrow. Happy Firday everyone. ---

It’s raining. It’s supposed to continue all day and into tonight and tomorrow. I have a number of indoor chores to do, but my yard looks awful and this will make 2 more lost weekends (since next week is Easter, it’s pretty much lost for yard work. So I’m seeing indoor chorage plus a lot of Netflix and crocheting. Good times. Happy Saturday! ---

Fellow Mumper FB users - Do you get recent posts on your feed? I have mine set for Most Recent, and the top of the feed is from 2 days ago. I know for a fact that at least \*\*swampy \*\*posted some stuff yesterday, and that doesn’t even show up. Does FB really suck that much? ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ I was a slug abed and did not rise until almost seven! :eek: ‘Tis 60 Amurrkin out and mostly cloudy with a predicted high of 87 and possibly N.O.S. this afternoon. As I post I have a load of church kitchen stuff in the washer along with some miscellaneous stuff like tshirts. We messed up a bunch of towels and dishcloths last night. Plans for the day include gettin’ haircuts (we’re both gettin’ shaggy), N.O.L. somewhere, and goin’ over to the church house to retrieve the outdoor cooker, put the towels and dishcloths back where they live, empty the water out of the steamer table, and make sure the kitchen does not smell fishy which I don’t think it will. **Sunny** yay for mom and Kanga feelin’ better! **MOOOOOOM** yes, indeed, the book of faces doth sucketh mightily. I have long given up makin’ it behave the way I want it to behave. Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then we must motivate, purtify, don appropriate bein’ about the public attire (alas), and get stuff done. Rah. Happy Sattidy Y’all!
