I’ve been glugging my coffee and will have to get into my kitchen to get it cleaned up before it becomes much warmer. I really, really need to wash my rig too. The front end and windshield are just full of bug guts and splatters. I’ve also got three HUGE wasps stuck in my wiper blades. It’s supposed to be warmer today than it was yesterday, and I can believe that it will be. The house is already warming up considerably and the fans are going. ---

> [@Silver\_Tyger](#): > > Blurf. > > I feel odd - I think it’s anxiety twinges that are happening for no good reason. It’s very annoying. The only reason I can think of is that I left my backpack at home (I use it instead of a purse, and shove whatever writing, drawing, etc, I’m doing at the time in it) because I felt like looking nice. So it’s kind of the same sensation as not wearing the watch you normally wear, except all over. I keep thinking ‘oh, I’ll grab that… wait, no, it’s at home.’ Very odd. > > Grrr… all twitchy and half-tense. SO annoying! I can relate. I took off my ring while I was cooking and kept thinking that something was missing. Now that I’ve been working hard all morning I get to go work hard all afternoon and evening, too. So, for a couple of minutes I’m taking a break and waiting for my hair to dry a little more so I can put it up. Hope everyone has a good rest of the day. ---

Howdy Y’all! I’m at da cave. YAY!!! I made an executive decision to leave early just cause I can. I stopped at the grocery sto’ and got bread and some deli stuff cause this is a no cookin’ weekend. It’s either sammiches or take out or go out but no cook. ---

Lol! Oh my…well, I can clean pretty well, so I’m up for that. I forgot to put weather in my mmp today: Right now it’s overcast, and there’s been a breeze; right now that breeze is actually COOL and it’s getting stronger, whooohooo! Mebbe some rain today! Perhaps I should bucket-water the trees just to make sure 🙂 ---

I think I’ve cured my work computer of its allergy to the office. It would work perfectly at home, but not even boot up in the office. Now we just have to work on \*\*my \*\*allergy to the office. They rebuilt one of the entrances to the building to replace optical turnstyles with mantrap revolving doors. Now when you badge in or out, you hear “\ Please step into the door” which just seems like an invitation to get injured. At the entrance I usually use, the mantraps just go “ding” and the door starts moving. The checklist: Friday? Yes. Not on call? Yes Go home o’clock? Awww… ---

It rained! Not for long, but more than the usual dust-denting dollops. I think we’ve had more rain in the last month than in the last two years! This is not a complaint, as our new house doesn’t leak and so far the water hasn’t come up to the door. ---

Claying is done. Laundry is down, folded, and put away, I’m showered and refreshed, \*\*FCD \*\*is home. Life is good! 😃 Supper will be grab whatever. I’m in the mood for sushi, but I don’t feel like going anywhere, so it’ll probably be grilled cheese. meh. ---

Forgot to say earlier, **Tao** if it involves pluggin’ in, turnin’ on, or cleanin’ it up afterwards it’s cookin’. The smoker especially when it comes to the cleanin’. Talk about a choooooooooore! Worthwhile but still… So anywho, about the only appliance turnin’ on I intend to do is the toaster oven if’n we want toasted bread for sammiches or a toasted sammich. Laziness had descended upon da bear. ---

‘tis Friday, as good an excuse for relaxin’ as I can think of! Leftovers tonight here; MrTao got annoyed at work and took a half-day, and also brought stuff home for foodage, so double-yay! ---

I don’t think it worked. But I won’t know for certain until my hair is completely dry - 60 to 90 minutes from now. I’ll let you know. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > I don’t think it worked. But I won’t know for certain until my hair is completely dry - 60 to 90 minutes from now. I’ll let you know. Did you go lighter or darker? With my darkers, it’s hard to tell until it’s dry, sometimes can’t tell until in the sun. With lighter…lighter doesn’t work for me. I can do the bleachiest blondy-blonde, guaranteed one-application bleach-out platinum, and I can do it 3 times in a week and at most it’ll be…orange. This despite the fact that I am not a natural redhead. :dubious: Even the uncoloured roots will go orange. It’s just…[weird.](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-JA03AhdWGvQ/TjdoKtUDyrI/AAAAAAAAAEM/BYMaLDd9jJc/w497-h373/Hrm.jpg) ---

For me tonight, cooking will involve opening a menu. Don’t know where we’ll be eating, but my kitchen is closed tonight! In the past few nights, I’ve made ginger beef stir fry, curry chicken, meatloaf, meatballs, and it’s time for someone else to cook! ---

Hi y’all. I have avoided posting in these MMP’s (what does that stand for?) but I thought after this amount of time I might be tolerated. East Tennessee reporting in here at 1800 EDT. It is a very pleasant 73.6 degrees F here. Broken cloud cover and a perfect day to go to the county fair.
