**doggio** , did you make sure there were no kittehs in the sheets before washing? 😃 **shoe** , if you can train your cat to cook for you, your tight budget days are over. 😛 My floors have been swept/vacuumed and mopped, the bed linens changed, the dishes done and the rest of the grocery shopping done. I think I’ll work on the Xmas project before beginning supper for me and to take to my neighbor who has been under the weather. ---

And suddenly it’s 5 PM and I have no idea what we’ll do for supper. But Higgs has been fed, so there’s that. So, do I cook or order pizza?? ---

Irked, came home, laundered, came home again. Dinner is an overstuffed jerk chicken burrito. I am looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > We gone have us a real growed up evenin’ here at da cave! Where are you going while others come over? I _tried_ typing this before, but the power burped; iffn you blinked at the appropriate time you missed it. The 'puter didn’t blink at that time. ☹ **Moooommm** , din-din needs to be thought about here too, but I don’t think I wanna go to Creaky Barrel. It hasn’t stopped raining here today so I haven’t been out today. On the positive side I’ve accomplished my plan for the day - do nothing & take nappage. 😃 I think I’m now finally recovered from hell week(s). ---

I’ll have you know I can be all adulterated, suave, couth, kempt, and even shevelled when I need to be. 😛 The nice thing about havin’ folks over for a late afternoon/early evenin’ event, is they’re all gone by seven p.m. The dishwasher is doin’ it’s dishwashin’ thang.

I begged half a slice of pizza off a friend today. That was only one of many bad things I did today. I’ll end up on Santa’s naughty list for sure. 😉 ---

It’s been raining here for quite a while and it’s supposed to continue thru the night. But rumor has it that tomorrow, there will be a big ball of fire in the sky!!! :eek: Meanwhile, I think I’ll recline the night away. _ **MWAH!!** _ ---

Supper was good. My neighbor didn’t know Asian food was often spicy. :D. But he liked it (disclaimer: he can eat much hotter wings thanI can and he doesn’t havea belly bug, so spicy is good). Time to work in the studio. ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > : emails chicken soup and OJ to **Butters** : And precisely how is a whack-a-doodle ex-football player supposed to help with what ails her?!?!? 😃 The rain cleared out overnight and the moon is lighting up the dark neighborhood somewhat. It’s cold out, but it smells good, so I think we’re in for a nice day, if chilly. I should be able to finish the afghan I’m making for my niece, so I’ll need to talk to my future nephew-in-law about his afghan. My sister told me what he wants, but she didn’t give me enough specific info, so I’ll clarify with him before buying a butt-load of yarn. Apart from some minor household chores, I’ve got nothing to do today. It should be a good day, then! Happy Sunday! ---

Well, I don’t know how that happened. I didn’t get tired last night. At all. And I didn’t fall asleep until 5 am, then woke up at 6 am. Very odd, happens occasionally. But I can do anything I want today, so it doesn’t really matter. 😃 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 48 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 63 for the day. A typical late Fall day for south Jawja. **{{{Butters}}}** hope you’re feelin’ better today. You need [Soft Kitty.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AP8_LaUC4w) Today is brunch Sunday over to the church house. I made a corn sallit yestiddy along with a gallon each of sweet and unsweet tea to take. I considered puttin’ leftover lasagna into a nice casserole dish and takin’ it, but decided that would make a good dindin for tomorrow evenin’ instead. No real plans beyond deheathenization and brunch. Ok, that’s all I got. Rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Also, at some point we both must purtify for deheathenization. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---
