  • The Beast Makes The Trip And Buys Some Camoflauge Gear


    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    I told you it was gonna happen.  Do I know the Beast or what?  He went today to check out that Skyline wildlife area.  I was sick as a dog this morning when I got up.  Coughing, congested chest, leaking nose and all.  I even had a fever.  The Beast looked at me and said, *Well, I'm not going to ask you if you want to go with me.*  I thanked him (sarcastically, of course) as I blew my nose and contemplated hari-kari or however it's spelled.  Please, no corrections on this.  I really am not all that interested in how to spell it.  I know how it's done. 

    So, he left for Skyline and I took a big dose of the severe cough and cold medicine I have here.  Kicked my ass!  Knocked me right out and put me down for about 3-1/2 hours.    I kid you not.  But, I guess I needed it.  When I woke up (with a jolt because I needed to pick up Chewlee and was afraid I had fallen asleep too long), I DID feel better.  It's still there but the chest congestion is gone.  My sinuses are resting nicely, too.  I guess I will have to hit the sack early again tonight because rest is always good for what ails ya!

    I actually made up the bed after letting it air out for a while.  The day had turned out fairly nice.  From rainy in the morning (it had thundered and rained all night long) to bright and sunny when I woke up the second time.  It also warmed up quite a bit, to my relief.  So, when the Beast got home from his sojourn, I was bright eyed and bushy tailed.  *Grin*

    He tried to be sneaky about it but I caught him so he showed me what he had stopped off to buy at some place or another in Huntsville.  There's a vest that actually has a drop down CUSHION for when he sits on the ground!    I kid you not.  It was all I could do not to laugh.  He also bought a camo backpack for his lunch of all things.  He's not done yet, either.  He still needs the shirt, hat, pants and probably a wallet just to annoy me since I've made jokes about that.  I will let you know when he gets those things AND when he starts checking to see whats on the hunting list because he will want to kill something once he gets a full outfit. 

    No Chewlee tomorrow for me but we watched Harry Potter today.  This time it was the Chamber of Secrets.  BUT...she told me when she comes back we are going to watch the *birdie* DVD.  That's the Hummingbird one that I sent away for about a month ago.  She spotted it today so that's what she will be looking for on Saturday.  I'm going to have to feel good enough tomorrow to do a little shopping since I have no Eggos and she will be here for breakfast on Saturday.  I could just make real waffles but she might not like them as well.  They are, after all, a bit softer than Eggos out of the toaster. 

    She's also a big juice drinker and I am out of juices now.  I get 100% juice for her since that's healthier and you know what's in it.  I want to pick up some different fruits and have them in the house for her (and for us, too).  I get tired of the Beast constantly getting bananas like we are some kind of chimpanzees. 

    Time to get this posted.  Love you all.  Hope you have a great day tomorrow.  Sunshine here, thankfully.
