Not fair - my daily migraines are back.

In other news - the big burly men shall return this afternoon and help us with the moving of the furniture to their “final” places, and heaving of the boxes out of the garage to there proper room. I did tell the nice moving company man that I had a lot of stuff, but he judged by the size of my house, so we didn’t really have a large enough crew on the first day last week. So yay for stuff moving around!

Other than that - blurf!

**metal mouse** , you and **swampy** need some more practice on this retirement business. 😛

**butters** , your supper sounds marvelous!

**rosie** , that’s one of the reasons that I don’t volunteer to begin the MMP. Anymore, I’m not even up yet when it gets started.

**Mooooom** , FCD sounds a bit like my old border collie when she had a cast on her leg, if you’ll pardon the comparison. She would try to do all of the things that she could do without a cast. For such a smart dog, she wasn’t so smart. 😛

Got Monday kicked off. I thought that I might have a whole weekend just to hang out at home or with friends, but I couldn’t get the car in for an oil change until Saturday and immediately after, I will take my SIL/BFF to the second of her radiation treatments (breast cancer caught very early and treatable with minimally invasive means). I’m shooting for being lazy and hanging out with friends Sunday.

Well, just had a guy come to my door inquiring about home repairs (they are remodeling a house up the street) and after some discussion and inspection, I agreed to about $6,200 in home repairs…

It’s a bit more than I planned on spending, but there are problems I’ve been ignoring for years and my neighbor vouches for them and I had it budgeted to do this fall, so best get it all worked on now. Just hope they do the work right…

Happy Moonday!

It is a gloriously cool, breezy day today.  
So why haven’t I opened the windows?

I’ve been busy.  
I woke up early and then laid back down and slept until after 11.  
I went outside with Sah-son to help him finish cutting up the branches that fell off the tree so they’ll fit into the yard waste bag.  
While we are out there that we cut the dog’s toenails. It’s the easiest place to do it. Unfortunately, I had to cut them upsidedown and backwards. I cut one too short and blood everywhere. So we (mostly he) mopped up blood while I tried to get the dog to hold still long enough to pack some flour in the nail to stop the bleeding. Of course the dog wouldn’t cooperate at all.  
I thought the bleeding had stopped and let him in… the kitchen floor needed mopping anyway.  
I’ve washed the dishes, paid some bills, and logged in to irk. I still have to put in the grocery order.

I wanted to mulch out front today, but I think it can wait until tomorrow.

What’s not fair is that the dog got blood on my new rug. Of course, I have nobody to blame but myself.

I’m not sure what I had for lunch. I ordered chicken & cashews. I remember when I ordered she said chicken or pork. When I got back to irk & opened/ate it, I couldn’t find a single cashew when the dish description indicated there would be at least two by the pluralization on cashew(s). Don’t know if I got it sans cashews or another dish entirely???

It’s pretty much inscrutable.

But then, there is the possibility that they were very small cashews.

I actually did some cave cleanin’. The bathrooms and kitchen are all cleanded. Go Me!

**Spidey** even though they sometimes look all offended at me, whenever I order “to go” I always look to make sure I got what I ordered. After all I ordered what I ordered cause I wanted that not sump’n else. I know that’s sometime hard to do especialy if’n one is in a hurry, but I always do.

[Del]\*\*Shrek[/del] Bear \*\*, Hey, you both live in a swamp & are both ugly ogres, it’s east to get confused. :o

I’ve never et there before so I don’t know how they make theirs. It was brown rice, chicken, onions, green pepper, & a brown sauce. There were so many onions & peppers on top that it took eating for a bit to realize I was missing a key ingredient. Given it was only meh I won’t rush back to find out if they forgetted cashews or gave me something other than what I ordered.

I bet they forgot to put in the cashews.  
We stopped getting take out from the Great Wall because they put carrots in everything. Lots of carrots. They must have been inexpensive that month.

Pizza delivery for supper, because I don’t wanna cook. I picked up Higgs on the way home - she got groomded, so she doesn’t stink for the moment. 😃

And so it goes…

I’ve tried to order groceries twice and the website went down in the middle of ordering, which means I had to start all over.  
PITA!

I need to put some chicken in the oven for dinner.

Then it’ll be irk time.

I find it unfair that I have a lot of physical health problems and then on top of that, I have this tongue problem. I was wondering if I should go to the doctor, but I finally was brave enough to do some Google research on bad tongue bites, and sometimes they take a while to heal, so maybe I’ll wait a while longer and see if I get better.

**Midget** , is it tender? go to the ER or a clinic and let them check for infection. Better safe than sorry

If it’s not tender, can you see the bit area in the mirror? does it look normal-ish? then you can leave it be to heal

Pizza has been ingested, and there’s enough leftover for my breakfast and lunch. SCORE!! 😃

I think I’ll go plop down on the recliner next to my sweetie.

You want to see what my mom and I will see tomorrow? Sure you do! It’s a gravesite, of course it is! This will be the first stop on our roadtrip.

> Ten life-size, Italian marble statues -- and one of granite -- depict John and Sarah Davis at various stages of their lives.

> The most famous tourist attraction in Hiawatha, Kansas is the Davis Memorial, a $100,000, 1930's tomb sitting in Mount Hope Cemetery.

Seeing the quirky sites can be as much fun, and certainly cheaper, than visiting sites over run with tourists.

**swampy** , when I go through a drive thru, I may not check the bag, but I take a sip of soda or tea before I pull forward. About tenpercent of the time, I get a sugared drink, which would raise my blood glucose levels significantly.

The floors are vaccuumed, clothes are in the dryer and supper (chili lime stir fried pork and eggplant) is ingested.

Once the clothes are put away, it’s studio time.

Just discovered another thing about piercings that’s not in the instructions: Eating popcorn can be dangerous!

I “popped” a handful of popcorn into my mouth and whacked my still-healing septum. I saw orange stars, yellow moons and green clovers… OWW!!!
