Beast stew and cornbread have been ingested. Perfect on a coolish evenin’. OYKW is stayin’ the night. YAY! Both of us feel like we could go to bed right now and sleep twelve hours. Of course, we won’t. He’s gonna have himself a whirlpool bath. He lurves the tub. I told him good cause he’ll be all fresh and clean for later. He told me that made him feel cheap, but that’s ok cause he likes that. 😃

Tuna was yum. Supper was yum. Lack of dessert is not yum. It’s so difficult in my life without ice cream. _\<sigh\>_

I’ve had my apples and honey.

Well applesauce and Honeycomb cereal, but the idea is the important thing.

Found a good seat on the bus, when a stupid woman boarded the bus, sat near me, and started eating a reeking McDonald’s hamburger. So I got up and moved, and she took my old seat, therefore moving herself closer to me. I had to get up and move again!

I hope Satan reserves a special place in Hell for people who eat McDonald’s food on public transit. I’ve also sat near people eating stinky cheese on buses, and I think I prefer the cheese smell to the unholy stench of McDonald’s food.

The insect stings aren’t as bad today. A little itchy sometimes, but not as sore.

Ladies of the Evening-Trollops-are so pretty, and McDonald’s fries smell so good. 🙂

My back hurts like holy hell. I didn’t carry anything terribly heavy yesterday. I took half a Dr. House pill.

Someone’s mowing a lawn outside. Which is weird, because it’s quite dark out. Maybe they have a glow-in-the-dark lawnmower?

Gee, it gets dark early these days.

It’s been raining all day. Crazy day, crazy people.

Shoe, scaring children is a good thing.

Congrats, **Mika**!

Glad you’re OK, **Taters**. Sorry about the truck. ☹

Happy New Year, rosie!

Yay for being in the new digs, **sari**!

I’ll take a look, **Moooommmmm!**

There is a scratching noise inside my wall. I guess someone or something is deciding I don’t need any sleep tonight. ☹

Sitting at the campus train station waiting. Next train is 15—20 minutes from now. Getting off at a really dubious station, but my bus should be there very soon after I get off the train.

I’ve been safely home for almost 45 minutes now. Had to feed the cat and catch up on silly Facebook games. 🙂

The bus was waiting at the station, so a straight shot through plenty of lighting to said bus, and the bus-to-home leg of the trip is never a problem.

Gotta get it in gear to retype my class notes to make studying for that test next week easier.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 62 Amurrkin out and mistin’ rain with a predicted high of 77 and sunny. Nice! I shall, of course, be inside catchin’ up on a mountain of paperirk stuff.

**Nettie** why were you in skool so late? Just nosy here. 😃

Ok, that’s all I got. I need to go get purtified. OYKW is about finished with his beauty ritual. We’re gonna go grab a bizkit at Mickey D’s. We’re all about the class. Don’t worry **Midget**. We shan’t eat 'em on a bus. 😛

Happy Thursday Y’all!

We’ve got a riding mower with headlights, but we don’t mow at night - that’s just silly.

And not only does it get dark early, it stays dark late - it’s nearly 7 and it’s just barely light out. Of course the overcast and the rain might have a little to do with that. 😉

Good morning! It appears my internal clock is reset to wake around 6. I’ve breakfasted, fed Higgs, refreshed the critter water, and I’ve begun caffeinating. It’s been a productive hour. It’s been raining all night and it could continue thru the morning. I’m sure all my outdoor plants are happy for the drink.

I’m not sure what today’s plans are. I need to send a check to VISA - for some dumb reason, all of my mother’s excursions were charged to my account. She gave me a check and I need to send it to VISA post haste. Other than that, today will happen as it happens. I applied for a couple of drafting jobs where \*\*BBBobbio \*\*works, but I’m not holding out much hope. My resume is way too experienced for what they’re seeking. But who knows - it could happen. Then we can afford this trip we hope to make to Iceland in '16. 😃

Meanwhile, a certain pug is making me crazy - I need to get her butt out in the yard to poop. So Happy Thursday! 😃

**BLURF!**

Set my alarm for 0445 this morning, then finally rolled out of bed at 0540. Promptly had a low sugar spell… do y’all have any idea how scary it is to shave with trembling hands?

Happy Thorsday!

It’s rainy, been rainy, gonna stay rainy.

I finally got some good sleep but I feel like I need more.

Not much to do today. I’m staying here, not going out to Hagerstown.  
I’ll irk and go pick up a prescription. I’d rather not go out but my pills run out today.  
I need to do some furniture shopping so I have something to sit on besides the stairs.

**Bobbio** I would have a hairy face, eat first, shave later.

{{{ **Taters** }}} that so totally sucks. I hope you get a brand new replacement.
