Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis a cloudy 73 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of _ONLY_ 86 and only a twenty percent chance of rain even. Actually it’s supposed to be pretty dry over the next several days. Today’s plans include deheathenization, N.O.L. which will either involve sammiches at da cave or grabbin’ a burger after deheathenization cause I ain’t cookin’ and a nap. I don’t want to do much of anything today after yestiddy’s marathon mowage. Ok, that’s all I got. Time for more caffiene and feedin’ of rumbly tummy. At some point I must also commence purtification for deheathenization. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Today I shall mostly be movin’ stuff, and trying to fit everything into a room that’s quite a bit smaller, and trying to give stuff away to people who may or may not bother showing up. Honestly, what is it about free stuff that turns people into total flakes? ---

I was giving away something some years ago, and one person called and asked if I’d deliver. Seriously??? :rolleyes: There’s a lot of weird in the world. ---

I’m so scattered lately. Did I mention I have a cold? It knocked me flat out last night. I slept my way around the house trying to find somewhere comfortable that I could breathe and sleep. I at least seem to have a little more voice today than I did yesterday which is good because it was quite painful and frustrating trying to talk to RT on the phone yesterday. Hopefully I’ll be louder than a squeak when I call him in a little bit. My plans for the day include filling out one show application that is due tomorrow and that’s about it. Lots of sitting on the couch doing nothing. ---

Up, caffienating. I’m off to do that darn lazy laundry soon. I used up my last t-shirt ball for the rug, so it’s rolled up on the UFO shelf until I get another shirt to tear up. Now I’m working on the Neverending Teal Blanket and it’s so much easier. I think it’s time to give up on the tomatoes this year. It’s been too cold for the new branches to flower, so I’m just going to pick the green ones on the vine now and let them ripen in the window.

Happy Sinday! It’s a sunny 72 degrees with a projected high of 81. I love this weather! nothing to say, nothing going on except I think I have pink eye, my eyes are red with gunk in them and were glued shut when I woke up at 3am. So today is just irk, irk irk! and drag the Sah-son to the store Yesterday he wanted to get a haircut, it’s so long now that instead of tilting his head back to look at me from under the curls he lifts up the front so he can see. I said ok and then remembered this is the last weekend before school starts and thought oh shit not a good day for a haircut but I’m not going to tell him no, it’s hard enough to get him to the barber as it is. Two minutes later he comes to me and says it’s Saturday isn’t it and doesn’t school start next week? Let’s go during the week. YAY! for not having to sit at the barbers half the day. Sorry about the car **Rio**. ---

Late night last night. Hanging out with many friends. Losing count of pints. Night bus home. Waking up with a dry mouth and a headache. ---

WOOHOO!!! Two crabbers today!!! Both at the same place at the same time! It’s a brother and sister, each having their own license, so we get to claim both. That’s a big ChaChing!! We leave in about an hour. And in response to my yarn ad, I heard from a woman who has acrylic yarn to get rid of - we may do a trade. Yay! Plus the house is still open getting all fresh-aired! It’s a good day. 😃 ---

yaaargh you guys 🙂 I think I’m on the way to recovering. I’d like to go to my friend’s show tonight. It’s very late at night and I have school tomorrow. I wonder if I can find a way of getting away with sleeping in class on Monday… 😛 ---

I am so enjoying the empty house and having my window open and the fan on. It’s actually a little chilly. I need to get to work but I donwanna, but I need a few big checks, or maybe not. I also need some chocolate. ---

Never again. Laundry has been done and I’ve swiped the General’s lunch. Now I just have to decide how I want to fritter away my afternoon. ---

Gaah… Person showed up, looked at stuff, went ‘Oh, it’s not like I imagined’, and left. The ad said a large folding z-bed, and a pine side table, but the table didn’t have a drawer like she envisaged 😕 , and large meant large, so she just left without either of them. Great. I rushed back from my friend’s house for that :rolleyes: The good news is my friend’s taken the mice- probably permanently, and she’s great with animals, so that’s good. I might let the local nasty takeaway make dinner, I’m just too washed out to cook. Sometimes horrid greasy rubbish is just what you want. ---

And back from a successful crab-monitoring trek. I’ve filled out and submitted (via email) the requisite paperwork, thus ending the crab-workweek. \*\*FCD \*\*is futzing in the basement. I think I’ll knit another hat or two. Tomorrow is for laundry and grocery shopping. Today is for chillage. 😃 ---

Finally got the Sah-son out the door to get some more food. I felt bad walking in the store with him, I don’t want to spread the bug. Stopped at Gino’s on the way home and found out was $1 milkshake day. So now I am stuffed, I need to irk but I sure don’t feel like it. I’d rather take a nap. ---
