Now I Know Bratfink Is Bored….LOL
TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM
I was shocked today when the Beast came in and handed me two letters from Bratfink. I really had no idea which to open first but I got it right so I wasn’t reading about something that was in the first letter but more explanatory. Not that she actually writes about anything truly important. I know she has to be bored out of her mind. She always signs it from *people living in a cave*.
She says that Sheldon has gone crazy with cleaning since all this has happened. He’s *sort of* cleaned his room, has cleaned the bathroom to the point of showroom quality, the cat room (must have gotten rid of all that stray cat litter since cats are NOT clean except for their person) and is tackling the deep freeze. He did a great job on the upright freezer but Bratfink has her doubts about the deep freeze since it’s not so easy to clean up. But, hey, he’s CLEANING. She says he’s just waiting for the *all clear* on this one check he has. Too complicated to explain but it involves insurance and you know how that can go.
They are both drinking a lot of water (healthy) and something Sheldon seldom did before. Bratfink has her cane with her so if he tries to intrude on HER area, she will just brain him. She has her own way of doing things and doesn’t want the help. He always manages to lose something important. Bratfink has to keep him under her eye when he *borrows* something of hers (like the phone charger) or she would never get it back. It would be lost in his bedroom cave and never seen again. But you’ve heard her complain about that for years now so it’s not anything really new.
All the cats are still alive. Loki has decided that anything on a paper plate is HIS. When Sheldon served Bratfink a pot pie on a paper plate, Loki saw the plate coming from the kitchen and followed Sheldon all the way to Bratfink’s desk. He was so disappointed that it wasn’t a can of food for him. But, Bratfink (even though she knew better…), gave the little cutie some of the chunks of chicken from the pot pie thereby making Loki SURE that paper plates mean food for HIM.
Chewlee had a good day at school and got a smiley face. As a reward, Chewlee and the Princess went out to eat. It must have been at some Mexican food place because she enticed Chewlee with the idea of salsa and chips. Chewlee loves those.
I’m just waiting for a small load of clothes to be dried. We’ve been kind of cleaning up as we’ve packed for our road trip tomorrow. I still have to make some sandwiches for our lunch and get the little cooler packed up. I told the Beast that I was going to cut up some tomatoes and lettuce in a separate container so the sandwiches don’t get soggy. I may just throw in the dressing he likes on his hoagies as a surprise for him. Me? I’m just using my spicy mustard on mine. That stuff will clear your sinuses.
Well, gotta go. I have a few more things to pack and am using a little tote bag that belongs to Chewlee for our various medications that are going along with us. Oh, and the Beast’s 50spf cream for his skin. He has problems with skin cancer…all over him. Well, he’s never had any on his legs but he always wore long pants while working so they weren’t exposed like the rest of him. I’m looking forward to exposing my skin on a beach. I always seem to tan easier on the beach than in a backyard. LOL!
Love you all. Hope you have a great next couple of days. Remember….no post tomorrow but I should be back on Wednesday at a fairly decent time. We old people hate driving in the dark.
