Maid finally finished, good job but dropped hint about getting a tip, NO WAY man.

I genuinely appreciate Europe's no tip culture.  

 

Monty cat has been stalking the boomer cats.  We tell Kid1 to deal with her "child" when he's misbehaving and I tell her to play with him daily because he gets bored.  

 

We have SleepyPod carriers for the other 2 cats, so hubs found a good deal on one on ebay for Monty.  It's easier to fit everyone if we have 3 of the same carriers.  It arrived today and Hubs took it upstairs to show Kid1 since we hadn't told her we ordered it.  He opens the door to her room and she straight away says "was he being bad again?!" 😂 She thought the cat was in the carrier for time out and was being brought to her!  Nah...he's curled up, looking cute and innocent in the dog's bed but it just tells you what kind of a little ####### he's been that that was her assumption straight away!

Thrilling Friday non-ES report, see man:

 

Our stomach was hurting on the ES trail, unsure why man.

We made it through the ESs and went to Aldi, glad that this was all on the itinerary man.

Made it back to the casa and took care of the stomach issue, comfortable POTS* man.

     *buy yours today, si man!

 

Siesta'd rather fitfully afterward, any zzz better than no zzz man.

 

Breakfast/lunch/din-din (at nearly Many [2+2+2] p.m.) was from Whataburger**, ingest we man.

     **WUOC, financially savvy we man

It was the Bacon Steakhouse Double*** + med. fries/drink, ingest we man.

     ***free WUOC, otherwise would never be on our radar man

 

After din-din, decided to mow full lawn, in great need after "hurricane" man.

Most was in shadow with some breeze, but it still nearly killed us, near-death we man.

Nearly 2 hours later, we still haven't recovered, what's up with that man.

 

Miu has been extremely quiescent all day, quiescent miu man.

 

We have itineraried Many (2+1) GSs and Many (2+2+2+1) ESs for Saturday, itinerary we man.

Not all of them look exciting, but who knows man.

 

Will probably postpone party with the rubias till tomorrow night, out-wiped we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Friday, see and si man.

Scintillating Tuesday repartee, yawn man.

---

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

Two Guys had a hard time arising in the morning, zzz Two Guys man.

Miu assisted Daddy by sitting on his abdomen and lobbying for miu-breakfast, obvious miu man.

 

Breakfast (!!?) was a banana, ingest we man.

 

Went to our doc caucus, propitious in that we could report our unexpected cold man.

Doc* swabbed us for Covid-Many, unlikely to have it we man.

     *a rubia, but highly married man

A very nice caucus, worth going man.

 

A nice surprise was on our doorstep at the casa, new miu box** man.  :dance: 

We thank the gracious, intrepid, and lovely Ontarklar for her successful efforts, si man.

     **to be set up on Wednesday, much cleaning of miu-box area needed man

 

Lunch (at nearly Many p.m.) was as follows, see man:

 -- 2 PB&J sandwiches for Mini-B., ingest wee man

 -- toucans chicken noodle soup for us, ingest we man

 

A sorely needed siesta followed, interrupted by Many (2+1) -- si man, Many (2+1) -- phone calls man.

One was from yak-yak-yak Cousinette who couldn't raise Mama T-B. on the phone, calm down man.

Another was from Aunt T-B., contacted by Cousinette T-B. man.

We did not answer any of the Many, ignore we man.

Mama T-B. was in a "hurricane-prep meeting" at her complex, dreary dragged-on marathon man.

People (= Cousinette T-B.) need to calm down and not go aysheep about every little thing, please man.

 

Din-din was burnt pork ends, loaded potato skins, chocolate cake, & root beer, ingest Two Guys man.

This was a pinnacle of Two Guys din-dins, modestly admit we man.

 

Mini-B. was (and we were) too stuffed for a movie night, could not do popcorn proper justice man.

We are trying to embed Mini-B. at a reasonable hour, embed wee man we man man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

And this was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

Storming here now. Hopefully the shade sails I just put up over Optimus Prime's area holds up. I didn't do it right just put it up to give him shade fast. 

 

I'm so happy your new litter box arrived. I still can't believe I found one new in the box. Pure luck that rescue was selling it. Also amazed she was willing to ship it. Glad I was able to help.
