I forgot to say "goodnight" last night. Bad me!

Anyway, good morning. I'm not quite as sore this morning as I was yesterday. I've been working on my Ghostbusters uniform while Skywise used the computer. He's done and I'm taking a short break to get caught up. Then it will be back to sewing.

As noted elsewhere, sewing done for the day.
Late lunch has been had.
Moonie's birthday cake is in the oven.
"Supergirl" will be on in about 45 minutes.
Then I'll start dinner.

Moonie's cake is done and slathered with frosting.
Pizzas are about done.
I AM EXHAUSTED AND MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME.... but I got a lot done so it's all -- or mostly -- good.
I'm going to bed directly after I eat so I'll say it now.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Went to town. Did stuff. Bought stuff. Had lunch. Back home. Moonie is making frosting to decorate her cake with. (She wants to practice.) In a couple of hours, well head back to town for dinner.
At ten, Agents of SHIELD. Then I'll collapse.

Cake has been had.
I make good cake.

Agents of SHIELD was a "rip your heart out" nailbiter. No one died this time but there are three episodes yet to go and the good guys aren't out of the woods yet. If AoS hasn't earned a fifth season, I don't know what it would take.

We've got a relatively early call in the morning and since dinner is long over. I'm going to call it a night.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon. We dropped the van off at the shop for routine service, went to Bloomington for lunch, shopped, stopped at the DQ in town for ice cream and are now home -- obviously!

I'm gonna get caught up and then crash for a bit. After that..... dishes call.  Smiley

Just heard from the auto shop. The Freestar needs more than routine maintenance -- to the tune of $1,200.
THIS when both propane tanks have been filled and the property taxes are due May 10th. Smiley

Just joined AMC Stubs.
The site is NOT USER FRIENDLY.
And we will probably be inconvenienced because we don't have/use smart(censored) phones....

STILL haven't gotten the "welcome" email with my membership number from AMCStubs. Oh well, maybe tomorrow......
I worked some on Book 3 tonight and cut 250 words. I have a long way to go but quality takes time and that's what I'm after.
Anyway, it's time to head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon. We went into town, paid the mortgage and the electric bill, had lunch and picked up a few things at Walmart. The van isn't ready yet -- I think they're waiting on a part -- so we came straight home.

At last report, they were working on the alignment on the van so we're planning on picking it up tomorrow. I don't know what we'll be doing after that.

As of closing time, the auto shop hadn't called us back so we figure that they either didn't finish today or knew we couldn't get there by closing. I'm thinking the former.
I tried to close the car window on my fingers today. Not used to the position of the window controls in the car which aren't the same as in the van where I'm used to sitting. I was trying to throw some stray hair strands out the window, didn't have enough room and tried to open the window wider. I started closing it instead. Dang Chevy......
I've been working on the handbook for my Ghostbusters franchise.  Smiley Smiley Basically, I'm pulling together information from the various sources to have it in one place. I'm trying to stick to "canon", the films and cartoons, the comics (maybe) and the video game. I haven't seen the game yet so I don't know how much I'll end up using.
I miss Nintendo Power.....

I don't know how early we'll be hitting the deck in the morning so I'm heading out.

We're back. The brakes aren't exactly right. Skywise is working on it.

We've had two lines of thunderstorms go through and more is expected all weekend.

RB is a bit under the weather. He decided to stay out all night Wednesday -- it rained -- and he didn't come back until morning. He's done nothing but sleep. He isn't eating but he's used the litter box, groomed himself and sat up. He has a bit of a runny nose so we're tempting him with easy to eat food and keeping him comfortable. There is "kitten milk" in his future if he doesn't start eating soon.

We think that RB is feeling a little better. We got some kitten milk and water into him. He's reasonably alert when he's not sleeping and he sat up for a while with Moonie. He's gone back to sleep on his favorite sleeping spot which happens to be the top step on the basement stairs. He's currently taking up the whole step...

The thunderstorms are predicted to track south of us tonight but things should get interesting tomorrow. Hopefully there won't be a repeat of the '08 storms which turned this area into an island for about 24 hours.

Just in case, I'm going to say goodnight. It's currently quiet and the power's on which may not be the case later.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Monsoon in progress.

Thunderstorm in the neighborhood so I'm not going to be online long.
Everyone be safe.

Skywise and the girls are taking RB to the vet. We think he has a sinus infection and he's still not eating. He really isn't big enough to be able to lose weight. Since the "Dinkmobile" -- that's what Skywise calls our new car (Chevy Cruze) -- is barely big enough for the four of us, I've stayed home to make room for the kitty carrier and to keep peace among the cats. Road conditions are lousy and as previously mentioned, the brakes on the van are NOT in tiptop shape.  Smiley
