Munching leftovers from last nightā€™s dinner (miniature emperor catered), since I need to get to bed early. Must be at irk at 0500 tomorrow (retch). At least Iā€™m off at 1400. (Normal schedule is 0900-1800 my time. For some deranged reason, when the last calendar day of the month falls on a weekday, we must shift over to match the times kept by our East Coast colleagues.) ---

OK, Iā€™ve had quite enough rain, TYVM! Everything in the house feels damp. Our bath towels donā€™t dry completely overnight. The carpet feels not-quite-dry. Same with the bed sheets. And the furniture. Tomorrow, weā€™re promised sun. I sure hope so. \*\*FCD \*\*is teaching himself to do pinstriping. He has a lot more patience than I do, but heā€™s also a better artsy-fartsy painter than I am. I, on the other hand, am a better wall painter than he is. So thereā€™s balance of some sort there. šŸ˜ƒ TGIF! I needs me a weekend! Happy Firday!! ---

3:05 is NOT a reasonable time to get up. At some points in my life, it was a totally reasonable time to go to bed! Chugging Mt. Dew, got a heavy-duty energy drink in reserve. About time to get myself pulled together to go irk. ---

A very simple task got really ugly really fast. I was just supposed to change the drawing forms of 4 drawings Iā€™d done ages ago. Three were easy-peasy. The 4th one, for some reason, had all of its manufactured parts deleted, so all that remained were circuit breakers and assorted hardware floating in space. Luckily, I had accurate PDFs of the assembly, so Iā€™ve been rebuilding it. And a 2-minute job has taken an hour so far, with at least another 90 minutes to go. Good times!!! Glad I can have a lunch break. I need it. ---

Thank you, all. Iā€™d bought 4 little cakes earlier this week, because I couldnā€™t decide which one I wanted. Theyā€™re small - just 4" each. So I shall have a piece of each, and stash the rest in the freezer. Later. After chinese food. ---

Howdy Yā€™all! Laundry is complete and I have a poke roast in the slow cooker. Go Me! That, baked sweet N.O.T., **flytrapā€™s** favorite succotash, and rolls shall be dindin. Also, tomorrow afternoon I am headed up to Ye Olde Home Towne for two or three days. So ifā€™n Iā€™m AWOL thatā€™s why. Tomorrow morninā€™ I shall be at the church house to help with some yahd stuff. Trimminā€™ some trees, puttinā€™ down pine straw, trimminā€™ hedges etc. There will be a good crew there so Iā€™m guessinā€™ two to three hours and itā€™ll all be done. Lookinā€™ forward to some time with the family so thatā€™ll be a fun time. ---

Happy Rosie day! So looks like I got a new job for your birthday! šŸ˜ƒ Handing in of notice and sucklike has already begun, and I start next Thursday for reals. Itā€™s solo much less hectic than old place. Most of the customers are regulars, half of them just ask for ā€œthe usualā€, so itā€™s going to take me a little whileā€¦ Celebrated by helping some friends move into their new flat, and shoppage will commence shortly (today is also payday). I may get a celebratory takeaway first šŸ˜ƒ ---

Happy Birthday Rosie **Nut,** happy to hear about the new job. I hope it works well for you. **Mooomm** , itā€™s always the easiest tasks that take the longestā€¦ Well, Fall has arrivedā€¦fast. Last Firday it was nearly 95F; today it has barely reached 67F. Actually was moderately ambitious, did the main grocery shopping for October and got a haircutā€¦yeah me. Then came home and found one of the soccer games I was due to referee on Saturday is going to be played this evening at 5:30pm. I can do that, just glad I checked my e-mails. Early to bed tonight, our game is at 0830 Saturday, and I have to pick team pictures at 0730. Oh joy.
