Yes, I agree. I hated moving. I am glad to be here now, but moving… \Oh My!\ It is finally a sunny / partly sunny day here after a few days of wet. Apparently Merryland is getting the rain we just had. Good Monday morning to all of y’all. ---

The rain continues. Second load of laundry in washer, first in dryer. Aquarium water is heating and mixing. Leftovers consumed for lunch. Salads and burgers for supper. I wish we still had pellets. It’s not really cold in here, but it’s cool and damp and a fire would make it nice and cozy. Oh well… I think after I de-puppy-ize the carpet in here, I’m going to assume the knit position and watch some TV. ---

Just found out that the hail storm we had in Houston on Saturday dinged up my car a bit. Oh well, time to file an insurance claim when I get back, I suppose. Hope it is covered. ---

Congrats and commisserations to everyone as needed. Even those who have not bragged or complained and may not get around to it. The box is already open, help yourselves. I’m taking my morning break to eat breakfast. It’s leftover dinner, which was turkey, mushrooms, and broccoli, with some mushroom soup to make it a little sticky. Last weekend was the Asparagus Festival in beautiful downtown Stockton. They close one of the main streets for it. It takes a week for them to set up. I’m hoping it doesn’t take a week for them to clear out. Even after a full week, morning habit still sends me to the detour instead of on an alternate route that’s about the same distance and is detour free. :smack: ---

Eesh. Just went to do my laundry- I had the whole place to myself, nothing else but my stuff in any of the machines, when some random guy, clearly not carrying anything, comes in, points to my bag, which is on the seat next to me, and says, “Can I sit there?” He seemed very reluctant to take “No, Mr Random Guy who likes sitting next to strange women in laundrettes, I will not move my bag so’s you can creep me out better” as an answer. Not that I quite stated it like that. He then proceeded to sit on the seat next to my bag for a few minutes, occasionally giving me funny looks, then got up and left. This place is too full of weird sometimes. ---

Ouch. You should do your laundry at FCM’s place. It seems very normal there. (Thank you, sahirrnee.) ---

> [@lieu](#): > > **Phouka** , that’s really cool and I’ll bet it was hilarious to watch for your friend. Ain’t nuthin’ cuter than duck beebies. > > One of my favorite scenes in Duck Dynasty was when they dammed up the loading dock and ran a hose for several hours to create a ‘research pond’, let loose a dozen pet ducks from the mall and the six guys just sat on the ledge with their duck calls \*making conversation’\*with the happy quackers. Funny stuff. Now I totally want to watch that. I was surprised that the two or three drakes on hand were kinda/sorta trying to help. I had read in a few places that drakes don’t take very good care of the little duckling babies. ---

Also a little errr… nuts. **ShinyCat** yay for updated website! ‘Tis rainy and dreary in south Jawja. Might as well be since I’m here at irk. ICK! Dindin will be BLTs and oven fries cause that’s easy and I’m not in a cookin’ mood. Sigh. Back to irk!
