The ingestion of comestibles has been accomplished. All is well.
Peaches that does well and truly suck about your cousin. As I always say, you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your relatives.
Wow, those Southern Baptists are tough! 
…or your friend’s nose.
Din will be frozen pizza because I wasn’t waiting 40 mins to pickup real pizza. It is hot & hoomid out & I’ve been told this thing on my laig is like a super-insulated ski boot. Can’t wait to be outside lots of tomorrer. :rolleyes:
Say what you will about Olive Garden - their Chicken Gnocchi soup is really good! I haz a happy tummy!!
We may drive up to my mom’s tomorrow - if I can get her on the phone to find out if she’ll be there. She’s out partying or something. Wild woman, my mom is!
We shall retire unto the boudoir to watch teevee etc until sleepy time. We’s both tahrd and the boudoir is nice and cool.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Damped auto corrupt! 
Just messaged a bit with one of the mutual cousins - my second cousin, his first cousin. Mutual cuz didn’t know either. I don’t know whether anyone in the family knew. I guess probably his father (who has had some type of dementia for years,) and his brother. Not gonna spread it much further myself - will tell my mom, who was wondering what happened, and discussed it with my husband, just because I needed to process the shock.
And dinner turned out to be green beans and hamburger helper. I’m just done with today.

Darn ya’ll been talkative. I worked late yesterday and did a double today. Not that tired but I have to get up early tomorrow to teach Hunter Ed. So its off to bed for me shortly.
Gotti! Now that you got good chompers. DON’T bite me! 
The end with the round hole in it gets pointed away from people!
Apparently, Monty Python is in Philly! wink, wink nudge, nudge
There appears to be some sort of plague going around at work. Great, “kennel cough” season starts early over there, apparently.
Consuming therapy nachos (I really crave protein when unwell). Going to bed with Nyquil tonight.
I’ve had it for about 2 weeks. If you aren’t already stocked up, buy tissues. Lots.
(Pro-tip: While under the influence of cold medicine, don’t attempt to send a very funny and marginally off-color meme to anyone who might also be part of a group text with you. Hijinks will ensue. Trust me on this.

Up earlier than I want to be… Higgs has been tended to and the cat box has been scooped. In about half an hour, I’m going to go shower, which should get **FCD **moving. We’re heading up to Mom’s today - my sister and her menagerie are there and Mom will be leaving for her cruise in a week or so. They invited us to go to a party with them, but it doesn’t start till 5 and we’re 2 hours away - nope, not gonna happen. I’ve got too much to do tomorrow to stay over.
That will be my day.
Last night, I dreamed we’d moved waaaaaaay out into the boonies and I was to be the schoolmarm. The school consisted of 6 sixth graders. There was also something in there about carrying around gallons of milk in jugs. I woke up before school started. 'Twas a silly dream. 
Happy Saturday!
Up at 0445 for reasons I can’t explain (well, I could if my brain was functioning, but it’s gone on strike to protest these ridiculous hours my body keeps waking me up at). Two soccer games to referee and one to coach in 80-90F heat. Oh joy.
Rosie-sized BLURF.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 70 Amurrkin out and cloudyish with a predicted high of 95 and mostly sunny for the day. Summer returneth! The agenda for the day includes mowage of the back forty over to the church house this mornin’ followed by cee-mint pond time this afternoon. Dindin will be poke roast (in the slow cooker as I post), sweet N.O.T., green beans, squish casserole and rolls. The leftovers will be N.O.L. tomorrow.
OK, I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then I shall make myself presentable enough to be seen by others and head on over to the church house.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
blurf
Make sure you drink plenty of H2O today, metal mouse!
So you were Sister Moooom in your dreams?
Once I get the breakfast dishes done, I’ll shower and head up to the Highland Festival to meet the niece and SIL. Once I get home, I have to cut up 20 apples into 1" chunks and give them a lemon juice bath for the heathen children’s craft project tomorrow. That should keep me busy during TV time.
Uo, caffeinated, and sheveled. Going to a wedding in The Quay today.
THAT sucks, **Peaches **
Howdy Y’all! Home from mowage of the back forty. One can tell when it’s beginnin’ to turn from Summer into Fall in south Jawja not by the temps but by low humidity. I did not break a sweat whilst mowin’ this mornin’. OK, I was on a ridin’ mower the whole time but still in Summer that will make one break a sweat. Thus, I feel no need to shower before gettin’ in the Cee-mint pond in just a while.
The squish casserole I was gonna make for dindin has turned into roasted summer squish, zucchini, onions, and peppers. OYKW went to the sto and saw some really nice zucchini so he bought some. He called me to tell me and the executive decision was made to do the roasted veggies instead. He even cut 'em all up bless his heart in the good way.
Happy Saturday!
It’s hot.
My post disappeared and I’m too burfy to retype it, had a horrible night’s sleep and I feel like hell.
{{{Sari}}}
MetalMouse I’m sure your body will adjust some day. Maybe over the winter when it’s dark out later?
DH is home from CA. I’m baking cornbread and making bacon and eggs for lunch.
Today we shall do some unpacking and then see a movie.
So, last night we had a big thunderboomer and the power went out.
Just as I was falling asleep the power came back on, bright lights, clicking, humming. I turn out the lights and get back to sleep. Then wake up at 2:30, I have no idea why. Shortly afterwards the dog wakes up and he is looking for his blanket. It’s not in the living room, it’s not in the hallway, so I get up to find his blanket for him. It was in the kitchen, I have no idea why he took it in there, but he did.
Lay back down, hear a noise in the kitchen. Get up to investigate and see a man trying to come in the back door. I try to scream but nothing is coming out, I yell for Sah-son to get the gun, and I look for a broom, anything, to use as a weapon. Wake up in a panic, with a pounding heart. Make a note to tell Sah-son that if I ever scream for him to get the gun, not to say ok, but it’s not loaded.
Now I am having trouble getting back to sleep, finally do, and we are walking, walking, and walking. Down city streets, through buildings, upstairs, downstairs, walking, walking, walking, and then I am carrying a ladder because the stairs are missing and the ladder is heavy. I wake up exhausted, only to fall back asleep, and sleep until 10:30 - so half the day is wasted, and I feel like a zombie.
It’s going on 6 and I still feel blurfy.
