I never got to read [Tom Swift and His Flying Lab.](http://www.tomswift.info/homepage/flylab.html)
“I can clean out drains with my mouth,” said Tom succinctly.

This morning was productive. Borrowed the pickup, back to the house, pile in stuff for the dump and storage, off to storage, offload some, pile lots more stuff in the truck. Head to dump, get signed up there, dump stuff, go back to the storage place to see about renting a second medium-sized unit. But none were available! End up renting one HUGE ASS storage room…seriously, you could park an RV inthere and have room for stuff…and move everything from the smaller unit to the bigger unit. And…the way the record printed out, it looks like our next payment is the end of DECEMBER and not NOVEMBER, so on paper it looks like we have a free month! The guy shrugged and said 'Well, we’ll see but it sure looks like you have a free month :)" so hopefully that’s true, and the guy doesn’t get in trouble, hehe.

I’m almost packed, everything but the stuff I have to put in tomorrow.
Trying to get directions together, one friend says take 95, other says take 301. I want the easiest route with the fewest turns.

Well Mouse is still being finicky about his food. This time, I made sure it was room temp/warm, and didn’t even put it down for him, just went to my desk and pretended to eat it myself. He started dancing around “mom mom that’s MINE”!!! So I put it down, and he sniffed, and walked away. So I picked it back up, pretended to eat it again; he came back, danced around again…I told him “Ok, but don’t tell Daddy I gave you any, ok?”…and now he’s scarfing it like it’s forbidden fruit, lol. Goofy dog!

I’m all moved in and I wanna go home, just like summer camp. I could go back but that would be A BAD THING!
Plus and it’s cold and I’m from the desert. I only gots sweatshirts! Layering is a foreign concept yannow.
Whimper whine whine
Hey waitaminute-- I thought the new puppeh was a boy type puppeh! I’m going to have to go back and read for comprehension.

There’s a word I wrote that I absolutely can’t decipher. It starts with M, or maybe R, but probably M, and ends with d, and that’s all I’m sure about.

“Murf!” is what Mrs. Plant v.3.0’s dog says from her crate in the morning when she Needs To Go Out.
But then, then cannot pronounce the “B” thing.
Mrs. Plant v.3.0 and I are repairing the trailer Mrs. Plant v.2.0 and her dogs trashed so that Mrs. Plant v.1.0 may rent it.
I know, This Will Not End Well.

Daughter has gone home and taken Cozmo with her. Wanda is crashed out - she’s pooped. You should have seen her chasing Cozmo around the house and the yard! It was a hoot!
Supper was big salads. I’ve got a load of unders in the dryer. I’m finishing yet another pair of mitts. Another loverly day winds down…

I got the \*_Fairy Odd Parents_ reference. Funny cartoon!
I’ve read all but retained little, so yays, boos, hugs, trouts, chitlins, noogies, woohoos, how _you_ doin’s as needed all around.
Home from Vestry meetin’ over to the church house. Always a fun time. One more and I’m done! 😃
On that note I think it’s time to go lie upon the bed and watch teevee until sleepy time.
Nitey Nite Y’all!

I just wanted to tell y’all how much I appreciate you and the MMP. You are a refuge from some of the other threads on the board. People can be so mean and hateful. I am glad y’all keep it real without being assholes about it.
