The cave is now all spiffed. Go Me! The rain that was supposed to be here this afternoon won’t be. Now it’s a high of 90 and mostly N.O.S. Matter of fact it is N.O.S. out and very hyoooooooooooooomid as I post. Summer is makin’ a comeback apparently. ---

That’s OK **swampy** ; I’m getting the rain your missing right now. Otherwise not much doing. Took a hamburger out of the freezer for tonight and washed my new sleep/lounge-about-house pants (acquired 3 of them because I could) I got from Wally-Mart Moanday. I really need to do some house-cleaning, but to do it I need to make a list; I’ve found that once I’ve made a list of things to do, I do them until the list is crossed off. But so far I have not made a list, so things are being done. Maybe tomorrow I’ll make a list. ---

Let me consider and see maybe when their Zombie Walk is this year. Its been a few years since we caught a ride in the Pods. Mostly unpacked and got some prep work for putting The Desk back together in place. Got a buddy coming this weekend to help with the heavier/trickier moving. ---

_yawn_ Hmm, nothing like taking a short nap and waking up 3 hours later. Rarely happens to me, but maybe I needed the sleep today. **swampy** I like the word “hyoooooooooooooomid.” It was like that here recently too. Not sure how much I like actual humid weather though. ---

Pizza was good though. More tomorrow, I’ll save you a slice if you like. I’ve had skool work to do, in fairness. Going way over the top on researching for a 2 minute presentation on adaptations of a plant of my choice. I appear to have chosen the most weird, highly adapted plant on the face of this earth. I think I have about half an hour’s worth of material so far, and I still have almost a week to go. ---

Supper was egg salad. I fear my PC may be dying. I’m downloading a bunch of updates which apparently got hung up. Firefox still isn’t working right. I don’t know if I should take it somewhere for a once-over or just bite the bullet and get a new one. I have a BIL who’s good with computers, but he’s a bit hard to take and I don’t want to just approach him asking a favor. We’ll see how it goes after the downloads are installed. _WAAAAAH!!_ ---

**Moommm** glad your PC is feeling better. Gentle nudge to back up anything you don’t wanna lose. Have yucky migraine headache today. Going to retreat back under the covers shortly. 'Beamer is upset, because he wants to sew his Halloween costume with me, which is awesome. Just can’t today. ☹ ---

Canes lost. But it wasn’t the worst lose every. I voted in the municipal primary.

I’d be Jones-ing for that. **Nut** , you could make cupcakes. A dozen regular, and a half dozen gluten free.🙂 ---

Work was work; not bad and not good. We have another visiting manager trying to figure out where we are going wrong. Let’s see ---- managers who have no idea how to do the work they are bossing us about, a site boss who believes morale is optional and poor acceptable, and we know we’re getting ready for our biggest Peak yet. And even the bosses have stopped sharing information with each other let alone us. Yeah, we ain’t as good as we used to be. Go figure. ---

Sorry **Ruble**. Sounds like an oddly familiar death spiral for many firms. I wonder how these things start? Generally where I have worked, it’s been acquisitions coming on board and the cultures not meshing, or simply the integration process not happening correctly. I hope it smooths out. ---

It started raining overnight and it’s still coming down, gently, which is the best kind of rain. YAY! Other than that, just another day in paradise. Happy Wednesday!
