**BBBobbio** it is considered bad form to \ at one’s own fortune cookie fortune. Or not. I’m flexible. Just ask OYKW. 😃 I’m at da cave waitin’ upon the a/c folk to come service the unit. Or, as they call it, a tune up. Either way it’s twenty-five bucks to do it. It’s workin’ fine but as with all things housewise, it’s a good thing to make sure. It’s hawt out! Hyooooooomid too with cloud buildup happenin’. Ima stay in the cool, cool cave. Later Y’all! ---

Thanks for the birthday wishes 😃 **mr ems mom** is doing well today she went with **mr ems** to Sam’s club and bossed him around the entire time as he shopped to fill up the freezer and fridge etc so they don’t need to worry about grocery shopping for a while. 😃 I hate doing expenses - 4 hours of my day so far spent taping to 8"x11" paper, putting them in date order then verifying with my credit card statement. Now for the fun part - entering into the claims system! Rah! Anyone want to earn some extra cash to this for me? ---

Happy emsDay! I have fuzz in my head. Cuervo is trying to convince me it’s nap time. Little does he know I need no convincing today. ---

{{{ **mmmmmmmmmmm** }}} - for you and yours. RIP, Beaker. ☹ Daughter’s gecko is dead - it got too chilly downstairs. The frog is OK tho. One day of bossdom left, and it’ll be easy. Half the branch will be taking the day off. That’ll leave 3 of us, and we’ve been granted 59 minutes, so I should be outta there shortly after 1. I plan to come home and do laundry and glaze some ceramics. I need to do a glaze firing. Cool today, cooler and rainy tomorrow. At least the pollen should be washed off my car. I hope. That’s all I’ve got. C’mon, Firday! ---

Poor Beaker. ☹ Bobbye Froggye died of cold over Christmas during the Surprise! Three Feet of Snow Event. I wasn’t as upset as Complicated Ex was–it was originally his frog. I have to install Office 2010 on my computer so I can resend my resume. Hopefully that will go well and I’ll hear something by Monday because I’m turning in my two weeks soonest. Cannot take that @#@%#@$!@3 anymore. I almost walked out today. ---

I may be goin’ right to hell for a string of facebook comments. It all started with YP’s “Just another Manic Maundy” comment. It degenerated into all kinds of songs with Monday in the title puns. One of them, “Maundy, Maundy can’t trust that day” prompted a comment from me about how Jesus kinda felt that way. This was followed by a TGIF comment which prompted me to comment about how Friday didn’t turn out so good for Jesus either even though we call it Good Friday. It was not exactly a trip to TGI Friday’s for Jesus. Why is it suddenly so hot in here? 😃 ---

Cozmo is tucked in. I’m showered. As soon as I take Scruffy out, I’m going to take myself to bed. This has been a loooooooong week - glad it’s almost over. _Kisses!!_ ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from Maundy Thursday service. 'Tis a loooooooooong but very spiritual service. It ends with the stripping of the Altar and everyone leaving in silence. **Soapy** yes, it’s on YP’s page cause he started it. He told me tonight he was glad to see he could count on me for bad puns and slightly irreverent humor. I took it as a compliment. 😃 And on that note, it’s time for da bear to go beddy bye. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 68 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 91. Still no tboomers and rain. The promise is still there however. I am skeptical. :dubious: So, looks like I killded the MMP! :eek: Thus I shall seek more cafiene and brekkies for rumbly tummy and then purtify for irk. To those who celebrate, have a Blessed Good Friday. To everybody else, Happy Firday! ---

I’ve been awake since 5:00am - oddly enough too tired to go back to sleep. Caffeine doesn’t seem to be helping. Insides are definitely in rebellion. Bleh. ---

> [@CitizenPained](#): > > It’s by default that I flirt with everyone. I flirt with women, too. I always knew I had a twin sister! Damn those gypsies. 😃 Much churchy stuff and much work - mind a little busy right now. A Passover that brings peace and joy to your heart or a Happy Easter/He is risen indeed! as appropriate. Oooops - almost forgot the atheists and pagans – hope your weekend ROCKS!!! ---
