  • Feeling Better Today....

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    Although I slept a lot longer than I should have, it was a good sleep.  No fever or sweating.  My throat feels better, too.  The pain is not gone entirely but I can swallow without wincing. 

    I had one embarrassing moment today.  Know how, after many years of familiarity, you sometimes run into the bathroom to pee without entirely closing the door (or you leave it wide open)?  Well, I did that when I woke up and sat there wondering why the TV screen showed a woman but the voice was a man.  Imagine my shock and surprise when I walked out of the bathroom (yes, I flushed but I used Germ-X on my hands) and who is sitting there, facing towards me but Dennis.  I majorly fixed my clothes as naturally as possible, said good morning to him and went IMMEDIATELY back into my computer room.  All I could think of was....*he heard me pee*.  We've been friends for many years but NOT THAT KIND OF GOOD FRIENDS!!!!

    Chewlee was kind of funny today with her insistence that she knew *everything about bugs, birds, lizards and monkeys because she read everything about all of them.  If *I* wanted to know anything, just ask her!*  I think it's the sound of her voice as she tells me this that cracks me up.  It sounds so sure and superior and you know she really doesn't have a clue!

    The Beast STILL hasn't taken Baron in to the vet yet.  I swear, he is in major denial that it could be something serious since he read on the internet that it could be a fatty tumor.  I admit Baron is a candidate since the Beast spoils that dog with food.  Oh, not people food but I think he definitely *overfeeds* him.  He weighs about 20 lbs more than he should so you figure that one out.

    It was nasty gray outside today and looked like it was going to rain at any moment (but didn't!).  It drizzled a bit this morning and the construction guys working on Dennis's *barn* hit the road and didn't even try to cover the pressboard they had put up that was actually just used to hold the various beams upright.  However, if that stuff gets wet.....it's useless.  Guess what?  We have flash flood warnings which means there is going to be rain tonight (and the pressboard will be all gooey).

    I sure as hell hope that someone, somewhere is having nice weather.  At least we aren't into the triple digit weather.  Love you all.  Have a great day.  See you back here, I hope.
