Sounds like you had a great time last night, drunken dingbats notwithstanding!

We got back about 90 minutes ago but I was falling asleep in van on the way home so I laid down to see if it was the sun or if I was really sleepy.
I was really sleepy.

I'm awake now and will be catching up.

I need to think -- hard -- about some stuff for First Death. The Queen is giving me that look too so in the interest of saving megabytes (I've made a couple of searches this afternoon) I'm going to head out for a while. I'll be back later.

I'm back. I've been doing "housewife type stuff" since the Queen let me up. My "thinking" went around in circles so but I did figure out that a couple of things of things won't work so the skull sweat wasn't wasted. I'm going to put First Death on the desktop and see what I can do with it before I start dinner.

Skywise is home and I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Here and even wonkier than yesterday. I went to bed very early and woke up feeling like dirt. I have a sore throat and the tonsils feel like they're the size of golf balls. *SIGH*

Hubby works the 10-5 shift today but we're not driving him around so that's all good. I only have to worry about dodging a silly child and an insane cat while he's gone....

I'm probably going to be quiet today and may take off early if I still feel like crap this afternoon. I hope I'm not catching anything, the last thing I want or need right now is to get sick!!! *SIGH*

Not surprised either.

Morning.
I'm awake. I think. The dreams just before I woke up were really weird and I'm still trying to sort them out. I don't know if they just the result of "mental housecleaning" or something more significant. Right now, the scales are tipping toward "housecleaning."

We got a dusting of snow overnight and not the inch they were predicting for which I'm grateful. Now for tea and something to eat while I catch up.

They allow NHL players like Sidney Crosby play for the men's teams, that's why I'm not surprised.

The ladies' team is comprised of unknowns, because there is no such thing as a women's NHL. That's why I'm more excited about the ladies winning over the men. Just goes to show the ladies CAN play as well or better than the men.... Tongue

The skills needed to play hockey are NOT "gender specific."

Same with baseball, basketball, etc. I think some of the WNBA teams have more fans than the NBA itself.... Wink

Manon Rheaume played part of a game for the Tampa Bay Lightening and she did pretty darn good! First lady of the NHL ... She's a great goaltender and a lady I admire! Cheesy

The main requirements for a goaltender are good eyesight and fast reflexes!

The cats are bummed. It was dry and reasonably warm for February yesterday and today it's cloudy, damp, chilly and there's a dusting of snow on the ground which equals grumpy cats!

I'd be putting out some dry cat nip and backing away VERY slowly from the kitties to be safe.... Shocked

Ours is passed out on the bathroom windowsill. I'm expecting her to start yowling to come out in a couple of hours.....

Ours are going out for short periods to "do their business" and then coming in disgusted and demanding that we make it warm again.

Wish we could, little ones!

I'm feeling worse and Fatso is in a cuddly mood so I'm going to head out for the day now.

We're going into town for a late lunch since the meat for dinner is still rock hard. Be back later.

We're back and I'm hoping to have dinner on by 8. *sigh* The meat is still too frozen to get apart.

Skywise and I were discussing whether I should see his ophthalmologist or an optometrist. I said that since it was WAY past time for me to see an ophthalmologist and that he (Skywise) already had a professional relationship with his doctor AND that said doctor would give me a prescription to take to EyeGlass World so they could make my glasses, I probably should see his ophthalmologist. So as soon as we get our tax refund -- and barring any more outrageous propane bills! -- I'll be getting the hell examined out of my eyes followed by new glasses. And not a moment too soon. "Eyestrain" is turning into "Standard Operating Procedure" for me.

Dinner is finally underway and I've renewed the plates for the Taurus. I've also thought of something for First Death and I'll get that down now. It's amazing what you think of while you're slicing raw meat....

I've got most of what I thought of written down. I'll probably finish it after dinner.

The soup pot is now considerably less full and the leftovers are in the fridge. Lunch tomorrow or Tuesday is taken care of.

Well, it's time for me to close this thread and start a new one and then I'm heading out. It's late, I'm stuffed and it's making me sleepy as if the hour wasn't enough to do that.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and I'll see you on the new thread! Smiley Smiley
