Chewlee, The Princess And Buttmunch News
TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM
Chewlee spent the night cuddling, first with my robe and then with me when I went to bed with her. It was really cute. I love how she tosses and turns to get comfy with me and then ends up with her arm across my neck or chest. She will put her head near mine and go soundly back to sleep. The Beast woke us up so Chewlee could have breakfast and get dressed for church. I thought the Beast might be going but it was Birdie that came to get her. She also took her to a piano concert. It seems Birdie's daughter was going to be playing and that made Chewlee so happy because she loves her and has heard her play before (or so she said). She wore the cutest blue dress that the Beast had bought for her. It was one of those that hit her mid-calf and Chewlee refused to take it off and put on her brown corduroy pants and red top. Later, Birdie gave Chewlee a pretty pink dress (also longer) that her daughter had outgrown. Chewlee says she tried it on and I checked it out. It WILL fit her although it kind of looked bigger than the blue dress. Chewlee wants to save it for *church* so we are keeping it here. The dress says a size 10 but there's no way in hell that it's that big. I checked it against the size 7 one Chewlee wore today and it's just a touch bigger in spots. If it WAS a size 10, it shrunk down quite a bit.
When the Beast talked to the Princess, he was asked if he could drive her home since the Princess was trying to keep off her sprained ankle. The Princess sprained her left ankle. How badly, I don't know yet but she's trying to keep off it as much as possible so she will heal faster. Chewlee didn't want to go.. She kept saying she wanted another sleepover because she sleeps over tomorrow anyway. But I got her out of her dress and into her cords (which she told me were her *favorite ones*) and her red top. She packed up a few things she was taking home with her like her Leap pad, one of her lip glosses and some things Birdie gave her. I have to talk to the Princess to find out if she is going to make it to her class tomorrow evening or not. If she isn't, it means she will go home early and that will really upset her. She loves staying overnight here. Why? I really don't know.
No one has heard from Buttmunch....yet. But Mustachio found out that Ron is still in jail. We now think that Buttmunch probably got into some shelter there locally and may just decide to stay and reinvent herself. She has always liked smaller towns that are kind of isolated. We can hope she would be compelled to get a job locally. If she could find a job as a bartender, she would be ecstatic. She always loved that. We are hoping someone hears from her soon. She may not want to contact anyone until/unless she makes a decision on her course of action. Say a little prayer for her, please.
The Beast is still not well. His lower extremities are still mad at him and he's suffering a lot of pain from time to time. He can't take the pain pills the doctor prescribed. They make him extremely nauseous and sick to his stomach. The last time he took one it gave him a headache and an eye ache. I told him not to take them any more and, if the pain keeps up, I will call the doctor's office and see if we can get him a different kind of pain medication.
It got really cold here last night. When I checked the temperature this morning, it was at 20 degrees!
No showers or snow, thank goodness but we did get lots of sun and the temperature got up to 45 degrees. That's light jacket weather here when there's low humidity. I didn't check the weather across the country like I usually do because I didn't really want to know who was suffering now. Let's just say I hope nobody is suffering during bad weather. Love you all. Stay warm and be safe. Drive carefully. The life you save may be your own.
