Happy Toosday! Looks to be a cloudy day today, although my phone app says it’s going to be sunny. Sah-son will not be happy because I have decided that Toosday is going to be irk in the yard day. He is slacking, and as much as I want to get out there, I’m just not up to it. Have a safe surgery **FCD** I need to get busy. _ **Happy Birthday Wet One!!!** _ ---

> [@peedin](#): > > _\_ Now I’m home watching Where Wafles Dare. I love a good breakfast thriller!!! 😉 \*\*\*HAPPY peedin DAY!!! * * * We’ll be heading out in a little bit. I’m having some breakfast and caffeinating - trying to wake up. You’d think with all the times we’ve been thru this surgical stuff, I’d be less nervous, but it is the spine, after all. Trying to be Zen and all that. Cat box is cleaned, critter water reservoir is filled, Higgs has been fed and had her DentaStick, \*\*FCD \*\*is in his jammie pants, and all the requisite paperwork is with my purse. I just need to grab the tablet, and I’m ready to go. I’ll post from the hospital when he’s all fixed… after I call my MIL and mother… Anyway, Happy Tuesday! ---

Hope all goes well for you **Butters and Mr Butters** I got a splinter in my foot this morning. Sah-son had to pull it out for me, and it still hurts. Damn hardwood floor, whoever thought it was a good idea to have them in the kitchen. Or it wasn’t finished properly, it’s peeling in various places. One more thing to add to the TO DO LIST - which just keeps getting longer and longer. ---

Conga Rats **Meeks**! Happy birthday **wetone**! **{{{gotti}}}** I think that’s everyone. I’m on day 2 of a 6-day irkweek. Went on a hike Sunday that got completely out of hand and my legs are still sore. While I was out I saw a blacksnake. :eek: But it had a white belly, so it was a good blacksnake. 🆒 I also finished the gay elf story I’ve been working on for the last two months and two of my friends are reading the rough draft. _worried_ And for some reason SDMB stopped sending me emails whenever my subscribed threads updated for the last few days. 😕 This has been your \*\*BigKitty \*\*update. ---

My husband (eek!) and I call it that because it STINKS LIKE FISH! 🙂 ---

Happy birthday wetone! {{{gotti}}} doggio, ruble, I am a Cleveland Browns fan…you guys are pikers. Remembered my typhoid immunization pill (hey, I’m 3 for 3 in remembering!) this AM and need to go cash a check for bits and things. Ordered a money belt for my trip, since apparently the five-finger withdraw is a popular thing in S. Africa (I guess it is all over the world, but the travel people have warned me on this one). Otherwise another war (86F) day in North Ali-Bama. ---

Surgicals went well. I’ll get to see him in an hour or so, and I’ll pass the time by eating a nasty horsepital chicken sammich.
