Up again after a sorta 2-hour resnooze. I don’t think I ever hit REM sleep, but at least Higgs was quiet. I just got a phone call from someone claiming that they got a call from our number. Swell - someone is spoofing us. But beyond that, why would you call a number just because it called you?? Especially when all you can do is say “Hi, this is Joe - I got a call from this number” - yeah, do that calling a switchboard somewhere and see how far it gets you. Sometimes I don’t understand peoples. Having just finished breakfast, I guess I need to do some errands. Then I’ll take Higgs, since it’s waaaaaaaay too hot to leave her in the car while I make stops. Plus I don’t think the dog groomer shows up till 11. Onward into the day! ---

Ed’s dead. Seriously, tho, doesn’t it occur to these people that sometimes, someone dials a wrong number? Here’s phone rules - if your call is important and goes unanswered, leave a message. If you see you got a call and no message was left, it wasn’t important and doesn’t require a callback. Easy-peasy! And finally, just don’t call me. 😛 ---

Morning all I took the day off of irk for Mrs. Sario’s dr appt so for now I’m surfing and contemplating breakfast. Apparently we lost power at some during the night, woke up to all the clocks flashing. As **Swampy** would say my tummy’s rumblin for sustenance so have a good Thursday. ---

I hate thunderstorms. They keep me awake, and that’s just one of many reasons I hate them. I’m getting some work done this morning. More work to be done this afternoon. Also, I may go to the store. My life is exciting. 😛 ---

Which given the weather the past month could have been filmed in my back-frikkin-yard. Hope to go check over Bessie this afternoon. Tomorrow may actually be dry and I’m planning on running her some miles. ---

[Ed](http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/dead.nsf/mnames-nf/McMahon+Ed)died 6 years ago, so you’re probably safe… Back from erranding, round 1. I need to call the groomer and find out when I can take Higgs over. Meanwhile, I cleaned the cat box, refreshed the critters’ water, and loaded the dishwasher. rah. I guess. ---

I liked the waffles I had for breakfast so I had more for lunch. Which is either a sign of me being an adult and being able to do what I want, or a sign of immaturity. I’m never sure about these things. ---

**Midget** , I think the true sign of being an adult is not giving a damn whether what you do is adult or not. 😉 Also not doing deliberately stupid stuff (_Hold my beer and watch this!!!_) ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > Up, caffeinated, off to work. > > {{{{ **Butters** and **Louie** }}}} thanks **Doogggioooo** and everyone. 🙂 back at irk of course. We have a manager meeting today to talk about accreditation. the preliminary scores show my program to be in good shape. i just have to pull some documentation together and create a couple of binders. In other news we hit $a million dollars in sales about 6 weeks earlier than last year. the average ticket price is $35.42 so to sell a million dollars worth is a lot of peeps. :eek: ok, off to scavenge some lunch before my meeting. oh, it rained good for about 10 minutes. we will take all we can get.
