Home, and no cooking here either - we’re grabbing whatever from the fridge/pantry. So yay for that. \*\*FCD \*\*is out taking a little spin on his bike. I turned on the news to see the new (old) pope. Not much else going on here. Why isn’t it Firday??? ---

Happy Hump Day Happy Birthday Nava I just realized it’s 4:30 something and I have been working and not paying attention and no wonder I am so hungry and shaky, I haven’t eaten a thing all day. Crappy work day too, I got a nasty customer, I’ve talked to her before and she talks so fast I can’t understand her and when I asked her to repeat something she got all pissy and told me not to waste her time and hung up on me. She probably complained too but dammit how can I fix your problem when you rattle it off so quickly I don’t even know what you are talking about. ---

**sari** you can’t fix dumbass. Now go eat. I got a call from one of the soup preparers for tonight. Bless her heart (in the good way) she made her soup at home but now can’t lift it and her son and grandson are not there. So, I told her I’d swing by (her house is on the way to the church house) and help her. So, I shall be a soup schleper. 😃 ---

Firstly, **HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAVA!!!** Yesterday, I had a surprise visit from my brother and sister-in-law - parents of the son who got married last Friday. Guess they needed to de-sress a bit. They’re about a 5 hour drive away from Albuquerque, in the TX panhandle. Anyway, they took my daughter and I to the Rio Grande Zoo and we had a wonderful time and a great visit with them! It’s spring break here and the zoo was pretty crowded but it was a beautiful day, temps in the 60s and bright blue skies, just wonderful. It was a bit much for me, physically, and I took a break about halfway through the zoo; my brother, sister-in-law, and daughter continued and even took the scenic train that goes around the zoo, before coming to pick me up, and pick me up they did! My brother arranged for a zoo employee to come and get me on a little golf cart. My knees and legs hurt so badly, I knew I couldn’t make it the rest of the way, plus we had tried a wheel chair but it just didn’t feel right. So, I got a good deal of exercise, believe it or not and last night I slept pretty much like a log. IOW, very well. 🙂 The best part, of course, was being able to see my brother and his wife and spending time with them. So glad that they were able to come and visit with us! Today, I am recouperating … LOL but I’ll be back out tomorrow, getting in some walking. While I was at the bandstand area of the zoo yesterday, I thought of Opal Cat and sent well wishes to her spirit. And how great it is that there is a new Pope today, Francis the First, and from South America. God bless him. Happy Wednesday all - have a good day. ---

> [@2gigch1](#): > > Off work at 11pm? Check! > Asleep by 2:30am (which is a bit early for me)? Check! > Awake at 6am to go back to work? Fuck! Er, I mean Check! I woke up every hour or two last night. I was strangely rested when I got up. I got a $50 gift card to Olive Garden today. Head Kitchen Guy found a wallet a few weeks ago and I called the lady to tell her she dropped it. She sent both of us gift cards. I’m going to see if Night Audit Lady wants to do lunch one Thursday–she likes Olive Garden. ---

I killed the MMP! I don’t think I’ve ever done that before. So it seems I can tell that I didn’t sleep last night–I have no motivation to do anything. I tried to crochet. I unraveled my crochet. I read a book. I have no attention span. Oh look a kitty! ---

Home from the Agape supper over to the church house. Lentil soup, tuna melts and orange slices. YUM! Also, as usual, a good time of bein’ together. YP has one of the best new Pope cracks I"ve heard so far. “It’s what we all wanted… An American Pope, and a southern one at that!” 😃 He ain’t right. I consider that a good quality. ---

I just did a very, very, very bad thing: One-Minute Microwave Brownie in a Mug. With a big ol’ scoop of dulce de leche ice cream. I am truly sorry to have discovered this evil deliciousness. ---

I consider that a good quality. A nice Jewish lady brought lentil soup from a Kosher deli when Mama Plant died. Have you a recipe, Swampbear? BTW, I made a vague, kinda sorta reference to you in the Opal thread. ---
