  • My Day, Such As It Was.

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    My day was really kind of dull.  The high spot was we ate pizza for dinner since neither of us felt ambitious.  And we had no TV dinners.  The Beast was watching the movie *Roots*.  We had seen it, together, when it originally came out.  I watched it a few months back so wasn't in the mood to watch it again.  I watched *Too Cute* and some other cute animal programs on Animal Planet.  

    I took a late nap mainly because Bratfink took one and we were both waiting for the same thing....our game bonuses to show up.    Bratfink got me hooked on this one game that ISN'T on Pogo.  It's a slots game that shall remain unnamed since I'm not going to make anyone into a junkie.  It's the game that was so screwed up on me yesterday.   I think it was the server for the game in my area of the country that was having all the problems because Bratfink's wasn't doing the same thing.  It actually got worked on after they got a huge amount of comments from those of us affected and was back working earlier today. 

    It surprised me that they got to it so fast.  Even Pogo (which you pay for to be in the Club and have full access to all the games and features), doesn't respond that quickly.  No, instead they shut the whole site down once a week and work on things then.  It seems I am almost always suffering from insomnia on the night they choose to do that.

    I got a letter for Chewlee today.  She's going to love it since it's from Auntie Bratfink and Chewlee loves the stuff she sends.  It's just stuff like little note paper, stickers of all kinds, things little kids just LOVE.  I propped it up on my desk and she will see her name printed on it when she's here probably tomorrow afternoon.  I think her other grandfather will have to drop her off early enough to get back home so he makes work on Monday.  Unless he's taken off.  I don't know.  I'm hoping I can get the Princess to take me to the store on Monday if I can't get out tomorrow when the Beast goes to church.  I plan on it but you never know what might come up.  I NEED to go to the store.  **Sigh**  I'm sure as hell going to get out...on my own.  Baron can watch the house by himself. 

    I've been talking to my son, Mustachio, off and on today.  Found out his contact dermatitis is in full bloom and I made him promise me to get to emergency tomorrow.  I told him what he had to tell the doctors including the fact that the steroids helped (that seems to stop the progress and gives him pain relief) but he doesn't want pain pills.  They had wanted to do some tests that he decided not to do but this time, he wants to find out what is causing this.  *I* think he's allergic to the perfume in his bar soap and laundry soap just because it affects his whole body...and even his eyelids this time.  He's not flaking like a fish yet and I told him that if he lets it get that far, this time his company will have reason to deny him sick time with pay.  I trust he will go.

    Speaking of going, me, too.  Love you all.  Have a great Sunday and get all the rest of the gifts you need....NOW!  It's going to be brutal.
