Secret Santa gift is done and ready to go. Iā€™ll wrap it and get it sent next week. \*\*FCD \*\*is on his way back from Bethesda after getting some stuff he needs for making fiberglass molds. I dunno - motorcycle stuffā€¦ I watched 2 movies, had lunch, and re-tidied the kitchen. Maybe Iā€™ll read for a whileā€¦ or surfā€¦ who knows?? šŸ˜ƒ ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > Itā€™s amazinā€™ what a semi-ugly vm threat can do. All but one of the folks who received the vm I mentioned earlier have responded. Appointments are beinā€™ set or have already been set for them for next week. [del]Minions[/del] Assistants, and I will be travelinā€™ around some next week. I get the north and west forties, and they get the east and south forties. The one who did not respond is now on the not interested list as 'tis after two p.m. Jawja time. Thatā€™s no voice mail threat. One of my cow-orkers came in this morning and had a vm that sounded as though it was a butt dial, and the caller was describing how he shot someone. It was turned over to corporate security, who promptly went ā€œho-humā€¦ā€ No shit. ---

OYKW swiped The Generalā€™s dindin cause he had a gnawinā€™ and a cravinā€™. Hey he bought so I et. šŸ˜ƒ **rio** sorry for the bad day and ruined weekend.

Supper was as yum as anticipated! Ice cream later. Iā€™m planning to attack the leaves on Tuesday, assuming the weather holds. Um, except \*\*FCD \*\*will be back to work and I donā€™t think I can maneuver the mulcher/vac out of the shed by myselfā€¦ I may have to wait till next Saturday - itā€™s supposed to rain this weekend. Iā€™ll get them cleaned up eventually - itā€™s not like theyā€™re going anywhereā€¦ I finished my Secret Santa gift, so yay! Just gotta find a box and get it wrapped and sent. I may include a little extraā€¦ maybe. Meanwhile, the reruns of Colbert and Stewart will be on in a few minutes. ---

One weird feature of my day: a piece of a crib just dropped onto my patio not very long ago from the balcony above us. Went up to return it to the apparent source, guy seemed totally bewildered by how it had fallen off his balcony. In other news, got back over $46 when we took the recycling back. Must remember to do so more frequently. ---

Dinner was a one-eyed Jack plus a piece of foccaccia with Provolone broiled into it, and a chocolate truffle thingy for dessert that my momā€™s friend made for Thanksgiving. I have some ground beef so Iā€™ll make little mini meatloaf patties for dinner tomorrow, I guess. Thawing a few chicken wings, but those might not be ready by tomorrow yet, so thatā€™s for the next day after that. Wow, Iā€™ve planned meals! šŸ˜ƒ Yay, me. Good night, sweet dreams.
