I had a turkey sammich for an early supper. \*\*FCD \*\*had a late lunch, so he just had some cookies. Yep, it’s healthy eating for the new year. 😃 And now the long weekend winds down. Back to the grind in the morning, but at least it’ll be a short week. So there’s that. ---

Had a gyro for lunch and am still stuffed. Chicken legs are baking and artichokes have been is steamed. There will be fuds if I get hungry later. Went to the gym this morning and it was packed. Give it a few weeks and the newbies will drop out. ---

Tornado and flash flood watches. Rah. I’m thinkin’ most of this will stay north but one never knows. **{{{Sunny}}}** feel better soonest. **Suave** hope kitteh is better. I think there’s a rule that mention of kittehs, doggies, and assorted other critters require pics. I am surprised you have not been chastised by the more hard core wanters of pics. Also, hope the cold is better soonest. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Extend my b-day wishes to OYKW! January babies are the bestest! 😃 I agree wholeheartedly! 😃 Anyway, happy birthday, **OYKW**! Did you use your senior discount to buy his supper, **swampy** , or does he have one of his own? I played in the studio today while doing a load of laundry. More studio time tonight before going back to irk tomorrow. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > **red** we both proudly marched in and said, “gimme my dang geezer discount ya whippersnappers!” 😃 To be fair, you marched in there on the (very) early side of the dinner window, right? 😛 Went to the optericianomitristhamoligist earlier today. It was kinda misty raining. Coming home I couldn’t tell iffn I couldn’t see well because of the eyes still being dilated (he tole me I could do anything I wanted; no restrictions), the small drops on the windshield (too slowly accumulating for even ‘mist’ setting), or the fog forming on the inside of the windshield. Either way I ended up watching a movie when I got home because I couldn’t concentrate on anything else as I had a big headache, kinda like someone was shining bright lights right into my eyeballs, which is ‘zactly what he was doin’. :smack: Anyway, he gave me a real long named diagnosis for ‘I’m getting old’ (which he tried to assure me beats the alternative) & I shall be receiving my first evah pair of (mild) prescription reading glasses. There was a request for hamboogers for dinner. When I went to the Ack-a-me sto, they had Eyetalian meataballs, which I bought, & squished, & made sliders for din-din. Dessert shall be…??? ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 64 Amurrkin out and rainy with a predicted high of 74 and rain for the day. Big storms all over the area last night with a tornado in town! Lots of trees down as well as power lines and lots of damages to homes and buildin’s. OYKW is at irk and says everything is OK there and at his house. The rain should go away by this afternoon and then we have a cool down on the way. A couple of folks I know report some damage at their homes. No deaths have been reported which is a really good thing. ICK! No big plans for the day. I will dust and vacuum da cave. I took some beast stew out of da freezer for tonight’s dindin so that’ll be easy enough. Other than that, I plan to stay close to da cave. Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Happy Tuesday Y’all! ---

Few things in life are more tragic to a school kid than the snow day that doesn’t happen. Not only must they bundle off to school, but moms across the system are doing happy dances! 😃 It was a rainy drive to the office - luckily, I had an umbrella in the car. It was pouring pretty good when I got here, and, of course, I dropped my keys while trying to unlock the side door. At least I stayed dry… Dunno what’s in store for today - we shall see, shan’t we? Happy Tuesday!! ---

Happy Toosday! It’s a rainy 38 degrees outside, supposed to get up to 47. I hope we can get the books today or tomorrow because after that the temps drop to below freezing and I don’t want to go out if I don’t have to. Only other thing on the agenda for today is irk and house irk. Just like every other day. Glad you and yours are okay **Swampy** , tornadoes are scary things. ---

My cat is a brat. It’s my fault of course because I let him get away with it. Whenever the dog goes out to potty he gets treats when he comes back in. Now the cat thinks he should get treats every time the dog goes out. He expects treats every time he uses the scratching post instead of the couch. He will walk over, scratch the post and then stare at me until he gets a treat. The cat likes company when he eats, so now he wants to be fed in the living room. He’ll only eat in the kitchen if I sit in there with him. At first he hated being picked up and held, so that was his ‘punishment’ for whacking me with his claws. Now he’s decided he loves being picked up, flipped over, and getting a belly rub. {{{ **Nettie** }}} The campus store has finally made the textbooks available. I guess they were closed for the holiday. I think we’ll go tomorrow since it’s raining so hard today. ---

\*\*sari \*\*- sounds like the cat has you trained. Ours expect treats when I let Higgs out in the morning. Sometimes they get some, other times, not. Because I’m mean that way. 😃 Still nothing to do. Boss disappeared shortly after I posted an hour-ish ago and hasn’t returned. lalalalalalala ---
