\*\*Doggio \*\*drives a ho?

**BBBobbio** you can run but you can’t hide.

I hate colds.

There’s a problem with the house, I’m letting the realtor handle it.  
It’s a duplex but it used to be one big house. I have no idea how long it has been a duplex, according to the realtor two sisters owned the house and divided it. Now one person still owns both sides. There’s an issue with the property line and where the shed sits.  
They can figure it out, they can move the shed, tear it down, draw the property line around it, I don’t care.  
I don’t have time for aggravation

I like the way you think.

\*\*{{{Midget}}} \*\*I still miss seeing the Late Great Petercat come running up to me when I come home. He died four years ago.

I’m having anxietydoubts about my story this week. God help me, I just cannot write this Continuing Epic in any kind of an order because it’s not coming to me that way. I’m still figuring out the world and the scattershot stories are helping me do that in a more complete way. But this week I dumped everyone [in medias res](http://ryl.livejournal.com/870371.html) and with the audience in this competition I’m pretty sure I’m going to get voted out. They’re the type that need their hands held more than I’m willing to hold.

**doggio** , I take mine with two splenda, enough milk to make it blonde and caffeine. Heat is optional. 😃

Looks like it’s homeward bound tomorrow. Yay!

Checking in. **EmilyG**. It takes time. Be kind to yourself.

Happy cruising to **Mmoooommm**

Thank goodness Moanday is over. The weekends just are not long enough. We are expecting rain for a night and day. I hope it materializes. Love me some rain.

Thanks, all.

I’m going to try to pill myself to sleep soon. Didn’t work so well last night, but maybe tonight I’ll be tired enough.

I guess **FCM** is well on her way to the UK now - by the time I got on the computer today, I think she was probably already on the way to Dulles. I hope she has a good time!

It’s almost the end of August! It’s so hard to believe that 2014 is nearly over with – it seems like just yesterday it was New Year’s Eve. LOL I can remember as a kid thinking how LONG it took for time to go by, now it seems to fly.

I am so sorry about your kitteh, **EmilyG** , lots of hugs to you.

We are supposed to get rain tomorrow and Wednesday (the chance is 70% for tomorrow even!); it’s supposed to be steady rain too, which is really good, except in those areas which have a tendency to flood. No flood area near me, fortunately, so it should be all good. My daughter and I are going out on Wednesday, so hopefully it will be before it starts to rain. LOL ::knock on wood:: (just in case …)

Well, hope all goes well with the house, **sari** ; it will all get sorted out, I think.

Hope everyone has a good Tuesday! 🙂 Yeah, I’m getting a bit of a jump start here. 😉

Happy Toosday!

it looks to be a pretty day but I’m too lazy to reach over and grab my phone to see.

Today is laundry day (and I have a LOT of laundry) and pizza day. I found out yesterday how to download a document to my phone,\* sign it\*, and email it back. The signing was the part I could never figure out. I wish I had known sooner, would have saved me a lot of aggravation with my printer.

Happy Travels **BooFae** , enjoy Hungary!
