Since our morning posters are missing: it’s currently 52° & going to be 77° & sunny in Hotlanta today (yeah, it’s not the right city, but it’s in the state) & in Leonardtown, MD, it’s currently 51°, going up to 60°, with showers likely. There’s also a high probability that there’s some dog yippin’ & yappin’. Now our mumpers can go about their day after receiving their normal morning update. 😃 ---

I wish I could say I slept in, but mainly I was still in bed at 6:30. \*\*FCD \*\*had a noisy night - every time he shifted position, I’d hear “Ow ow ow!” So I’m in semi zombie mode. \*\*doggio \*\*- good thought about the saran - I hadn’t considered that. When the patient wakes up and decides he’s ready to shower, we’ll see if it works. I just looked at the stupid extended forecast. They’re showing way too many night lows in the 30s!! Granted it’s upper 30s, but still!! I am not amused. Plus we have to keep the windows closed. Dammit. Apart from figuring out how \*\*FCD \*\*can shower, the only other thing I \*have \*to do today is empty the dishwasher. I should have done it yesterday, but I didn’t. So today it is. We may get rain this afternoon, so I don’t know if I’ll try any outdoor activities. Maybe I’ll attempt some mulching. What happens will happen. Happy Wednesday! ---

Happy Hump Day! I woke up too early and tried to go back to sleep. I finally gave up. It’s a sunny 45 degrees here in the armpit, a high of 66 is predicted. It was supposed to rain but now the forecast says only a 5% chance. That’s good, I can move more stuff. I suppose I should log in to irk. Then we can load up the truck and go home. ---

I’m showered and dressed. That’s an accomplishment, considering how tired I am. I suppose the dishwasher isn’t going to empty itself, dammit… ---

So the Hawks game lasted until 0230, and Gordie had his boxer inspired freakout at 0745. But I’m off today, so there’s that. I’m gonna get some dog food at the feed store, then go and get new glasses this afternoon. ---

A normal enough morning so far. ---

> [@Buttercup\_Smith](#): > > _ **blurf** _ I support this blurf. Sorry about your shipmate, **Butters**. ☹ That is very sad. Glad FCD’s surgery went well, **MOOOOMMMM** , but not the loss of sleep you suffered. Hoping FCD either feels better tonight or you get comfy on the couch. 😉 Yikes, **Sari**. No wonder you don’t want to visit your mama too often! :eek: Bless her heart, that’s a lot of criticism to pour out. I have nowhere near **MOOOOMMMM** ’s excuse but I’m truly **zombie** tired today. Ugh. Too much DH sleep apnea, not enough quiet sleeping time! ---

> [@Sahirrnee](#): > > Then we can load up the truck and go home. I’ve avoided saying much; I’ve pretty much dodged my mother since about 3 months after Dad’s funeral. There was a special level and variety of abuse there that just wasn’t worth it with Dad gone and my bother, being perfect, could take care of all that. My best vibes and wishes with you. ---

I don’t get the hate for Comic Sans - I happen to like that font. It’s readable without being fussy. What’s not to like?? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-accentless-mmp/718098.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-accentless-mmp/718098.md?page=8)
