\*\*BBBobbio \*\*- youā€™ll forgive me if I cast a skeptical look your way. :dubious: I seem to recall last week you scared the puddinā€™ outta me with threats of snow and all we got was rainā€¦ šŸ˜› On the other hand, it makes me feel less tacky about postponing my fest. Iā€™ve got a fire going in the basement, so it should warm up there pretty soon. Then Iā€™ll need to dress and take all the molding downstairs so I can paint it. I should probably take the paint down also, huh? Iā€™m having a tough time getting motivated this morningā€¦ ---

Happy birfday Spaz. I hope you get lots of presents and cake on your special day. I have had the stomach virus since Sunday evening. Lord, I havenā€™t been this sick in over 20 years. I was happy that this morning I didnā€™t puke upon arising (no, Iā€™m NOT pregnant!) and actually ate half a bowl of cornflakes and had a cup of tea. This totally blows. ---

Nothing quite like discovering that a cat has peed on the comforter and it soaked thru the blanket, top sheet, and bottom sheet, to the mattress pad. Thankfully, it didnā€™t hit the memory foam topper, so yay for that! But thatā€™s an unexpected laundry bonus for today. Oh, and, of course, it was on my side of the bed. I suspect it was Ziva because the idiot dog attacks her any time she gets close to the litter box. Thatā€™s the problem with me being home all day - Ziva doesnā€™t have the run of the place. When weā€™re at work, Higgs is crated, so both cats are safe. Oh well, Iā€™ll be back to work tomorrow. First coat of paint on all trim and molding. Thereā€™s a nice fire downstairs and the fan on the insert really moves the heat around. I should be able to do a second coat in an hour or so. Meanwhile, itā€™s leftovers for lunch. Incidentally, daytime TV on basic cable is pretty sucky. And itā€™s still freekinā€™ cold outside! 25Ā°F!!! :eek: ---

Awwwww - I got an early happy b-day email from my ex-boss. Iā€™m impressed that he remembered (translation: put it on his outlook calendar) and that he took the time to email me. Still washing peed-upon bedclothes. And Iā€™ve discovered that my comforter really is crappy - all the batting has gotten lumpy and relocated to non-warming places. I hate comforters. I donā€™t even know why I bought the stupid thingā€¦ Oh well. I supposed I should go put another coat of paint on the quarter round and assorted molding pieces. Itā€™s such a burden being me. šŸ˜ƒ ---

> [@Unauthorized\_Cinnamon](#): > > **Cinnamon Imp** , I greatly enjoy my kids being out of the house, and can hardly wait till the little one goes to kindergarten in August. Iā€™m definitely a ā€œhow can I miss you if you wonā€™t go awayā€ parent these days. But two is pretty damn little. I think itā€™s normal to feel attached at the hip at that age and miss 'em when theyā€™re gone. Ta - today was better, I just need to remember to keep busy!
