Hello from the West Coast. Kid 2 and DH are watching _Kung Fu Panda 2_. Apparently they planned it at zero dark thirty, threw the cat into the room to wake me up, and waited for me to come out so they could gleefully spread out on the beds like kids at a sleepover. I’m not sure why they couldn’t watch it in the living room.:dubious: I am ingesting coffee and planning the day. There shall be CostCo. **Swampy** I can sympathize. Someday it shall be our lot to deal my MIL’s house. She hoards. ICK! **Doggio** Spirit Animal indeed! Well, one who had imbibed spirits. 😉 **Rockin’** Reed is a Very Cute Cat ™. Congrats on your new addition. 😃 ---

Well, I now have hot water…and don’t have $112.50. Considering the guy got there after 6PM on a Friday night, I don’t really begrude the fee, but it turned out that I should have been able to get it working myself if I had persisted at it. Ah well, I am willing to pay for my stupid. Two loads of laundry done and shirts and pants dropped off at the Dry Cleaners and lunch ingested. Referee indoors from 1400 to 1600, so expect I will be needing that hot bath tonight. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > **Rockin’** , that’s a beautiful new foot warmer you’ve got there. 'gratz on the new addition to the family Thank you. We were supposed to keep Reed quarantined for about a week or two while we all get adjusted. However, a determined 12-plus pound cat is very difficult to keep quarantined, especially if he’s figured out how to put his weight behind the bathroom door. Since the girls know of his existence, and since they’re disinclined to start anything that would lead to bloodshed (human or feline), he’s pretty much done with quarantine. He spent last night sleeping with Airman, but he’s curled up next to me right now. And yes, he and both of the girls are fixed, so no kittens will be forthcoming.

I did a [del]race[/del] run with a number on this morning. On the drive there the first three traffic lights turned yellow as I went under them, the next three went from red to green as I approached. 🙂 I drove ≈65 miles today. Since the goin’ out plans for the evening got scrapped due to being sick & tired (she’s sick & I’m tired) this will be the first Sat in four that I have driven \< 100. I think nappage will win out over video editing that I really _should_ do. > [@dogbutler](#): > > I think I just found my [Spirit Animal](http://www.newsobserver.com/news/nation-world/national/article61411782.html)😃 Ummm, **doggio** , just how often do you stab the shingles with a large knife after a bout of drinking??? ---

I woke early and decided to stay up - it’ll make tomorrow morning easier to manage. Laundry today. Maybe a run to Food Lion. That’s pretty much all I have planned. Oh, and I’m just about done with my nephew’s hockey rink afghan. I need to edge around the whole thing, then embroider the circles and goals, and it’ll be ready to be laundered to remove cat hair. 😃 Some time this week, it should be on its way to Canadia, along with a very colorful afghan for my great niece. Caffeination is underway. Thus beginneth the day. Happy Sunday! ---

I have to go to work for a few minutes, to bake two dozen cookies. There’s a small meeting today, with coffee, the cookies, and a little fruit. We won’t serve two day ofd cookies so I couldn’t bake them on Friday. Then I’ll come home, clean up, and then go to church. After that I am staying for a while to help set up and serve a funeral reception. There isn’t often a funeral on Sunday, but there is today. Then I’ll come home and do housework. Blurf. ---
