Nothing like starting the day with a rotting melon. _blech_ We bought a cantaloupe the other day from an Amish stand and I left it on the counter to finish ripening. And I kinda forgot about it. This morning, I noticed it was oozing, and when I cut it open, it was all mushy. Itā€™s now in the garbage and I am bummed. Stoopit melon. I may go get another today and try not to let it die. \*\*FCD \*\*will be getting up in about half an hour and heā€™ll be on his way in an hour. Thereā€™s a ride out to western Md today. Once heā€™s on his way, Iā€™ll put on some grubbies and spend a little time in the yard, but itā€™s already upper 70s and really humid out - not a good day for gardening. I supposed I could clean houseā€¦ (look - I made a joke!!! šŸ˜ƒ ) Weā€™ll just see what the day brings. Happy Saturday! ---

The Grove Park Inn apparently forgot to turn the page on their calendar and set off their fireworks last night just as I was getting ready to go to bed. So I had to stay up until they were done, cursing the name of everyone involved. The cityā€™s fireworks display is far enough away from me that it doesnā€™t really affect the neighborhood, but the GPI is a couple of miles away due east. My window faces due east. All the dogs in the neighborhood were barking up a storm. :mad: Plus I have to work with the Ferret today. All day. :mad::mad::mad: Something beautiful may die today. ---

Da hood has party day today- itā€™s the annual carnival- though last years didnā€™t happen, because the olympics nicked all the funding. Itā€™s glorious sunshine, and the reggae started up over an hour ago. I can either sit in and grump about the noise all day, or go out and play, 'cos it wonā€™t stop til at least 2am regardless. Methinks I should just go play šŸ˜ƒ Happy sattiday yā€™all! ---

Face it, if you donā€™t like TMI, you probably donā€™t want to hang out in the MMPā€¦ Spousal unit is gone. I think Iā€™ll don some grubbies and weed for a little while. I need to wear gloves because I saw some poison ivy in one bed. I HATE that stuff!!! ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > **Nut** , go enjoy. Although on this side of the pond, a party in ā€œDa Hoodā€ is something you might want to avoid. I know people in this city who wonā€™t even walk through this area in daylight- except carnival day, when itā€™s seething with police. I do think these people are a bit silly, but it is a pretty _ahem_ _interesting_ area. Anyway, today its main problem is that itā€™s roastingly hot, so Iā€™ve come home for a bit to cool down and get more drinkies. ---

My mother-in-law passed away yesterday. We werenā€™t there with her, but my mother was. Iā€™m so glad someone was with her. Iā€™m thankful she isnā€™t suffering anymore. By Thursday she was pretty much unresponsive and by 3:30 yesterday morning, when the Hospice called us, she completely stopped responding to voice and touch. She passed yesterday afternoon. So much to do, and itā€™s all completely overwhelming. For the moment, Iā€™m just drinking some coffee and trying get ready to face the day. ---
