Thanks Sari. Not buying the picture taking excuse at all. I am surpirised they even have a bond set. Maybe for their own protection.
What would be the last thing you would want to be woken up to and forced to hear on a rare weekday holiday??? A freaking wood chipper truck is what. Our across the street neighbors bought the corner unbuildable lot for extra parking and is having it cleared. When I walked Louie I asked the guy doing the work how long and told him its a holiday. He said a couple more hours. I should have just went to work if I wanted to be annoyed. For some reason noise bothers me much more since I quit smoking.
Part of my day will be spent repotting the marigolds and sowing some grass seed over the bare spot. When that gets too warm, I’ll head in and prep the craft for the heathen children this coming weekend. Other than that, it’s a lazy day.
I’d slept badly the previous night, so last night I had a threesome with Mel and Lora. (Melatonin and Lorazepam.) It worked out, and I ended up sleeping a bit too long, but I figure I was catching up.
As Sunny mentioned a styptic pencil and some of those little dot band-aides. The OW gets those more on her neck and I’ve removed quite a few for her. If you leave them until they turn a little darker there is less bleeding; that means the skin is partly “dead” and putting an ice cube against it for a couple minutes beforehand cuts that little flick of pain as you cut it. In addition to scissors, toe-nail clippers can work as well.
We Mumpers are never more dangerous than when we’re dead.
Society is to blame.
Other than that getting ready for work. I’m taking the Sportie so the OW can go party with some friends. They have promised to send home a plate of food for me. These are two friends like Swampykins and OYKW so much fun will be had and the food brought back will be yummie.
I went out and yelled to the neighbor about the noise. He said a couple more hours. I said it is not even being used just sitting there idling. Within minutes it was gone. I do not care one whit if the neighbor is mad at me. Finally tis quiet again. People.
Went to the barn to turn Ariel out and she was out all night and wanted IN NOW because she missed brekkie. So she et her grain and we rode outside for a bit. I’m home now making chicken and Tater Tots and watching Wimbledon.
It’s been fairly quiet around here the last few days. there were a few booms last night, but they ended pretty early. The dogs pretty much ignored the noise anyway.
We’re going to a BBQ with some Bahai folks in a little bit. Bahai get-togethers are a little different 'cause they don’t drink, and a lot of them, at least the ones we’ve met, are vegetarians. I don’t think they’retrying to recruit us, but Wifey’s an atheist and I’m agnostic, so it wouldn’t work out anyway.
You’all have a nice holiday, iffen you’re observing.
