May the 4’s be with you
Froggy Bottom Cafe — CLOSED — Gone Drinkin’
Sheesh – where were you? I’ve been waiting for….like 2 minutes.
Did a stinky dog wake you up?
How did you guess? My sleep schedule is f-ed up.
I guess you could think of it like having a baby again or like hitting menopause.
I can’t figure out which of those would be more fun. Mostly I’ve been so tired that I’ve been going to bed really early, waking up in the middle of the night, and then getting back to sleep precisely when the dog is ready to start the day. I do like being the only one up for awhile though.
That’s something like what happened to me at the start of menopause, except that I would wake up two or three times.
Did it go okay at the orthopedic surgeon?
It went well. She won’t need surgery and she opted for a velcro splint over a plaster cast because she can take it off to shower. For the broken toe she got a velcro boot with a sole that rocks so she can walk almost normally – not like a zombie. All in all she’s feeling pretty good and the swelling is going down, though her face is turning all kinds of interesting colors. Her teeth and nose are next.
That’s really great.
When I broke my leg, I had a boot for the day and an aircast at night — it made it much easier to sleep and meant I could take showers.
Good morning Andi and SN.
Glad to hear Ryan is doing better SN.
Morning FM.
How’s everything going today? Got any big plans?
I read last nights cafe and I’m hoping Refinish drops by, I want to congratulate him.
No plans — aren’t you proud of me?
I expect we’re going to be seeing even less of him than we have been. Hard to believe he could get busier but it looks like he will.
Whatever he’s on – I wish he’d bottle and send to me.
I’d rather emulate FM.
I’m beginning to believe I would like to emulate a very spoiled and lazy cat.
His energy’s amazing. I’ll also put in a congrats here in case he stops by.
I am proud of you. Hope you have a totally slackerly day.
I don’t see how he could do more either, but he loves doing it, so I guess that’s good. Makes me tired just to hear of all the stuff he does. Now that I think about it, I get tired just watching tv.
I also joined Toastmasters at work so I could be come a better public speaker. I will attend meetings at work once a week during lunch and start giving speeches and that type of thing. LOL
I’m happy she’s doing better, too.
What’s on tap for this weekend, FM? Yard work?
Hi SN, yep yard work. I was going to do it yesterday, but I screwed up and ate a big lunch. Whenever I do that, I’m useless for the rest of the day.
But today I’m going to get it done…..maybe. 🙂
My yard is nothing but dust and dead grass now. And dog poop.
You have what I’ve been hoping for, except for the dog poop.
We keep getting short thunderstorms in the afternoon and it’s just enough rain to keep everything growing. Pisses me off. :~)
Stopping by in the lull before folks start showing up for a much belated book launch party. Got more fantastic reviews, which is cool, but weird. WebMage is getting so much more attention than I expected or than is normal for a first book. I like the book, of course, but I didn’t expect so many other people to like it so much.
Today’s Tea: Dooars Oodlabari Estate, an Indian black tea with a slight fruitiness, something like a nligiri or a ceylon.
Anyway, hope you all have a lovely weekend.
New reviews for those who are interested:

SciFi Weekly
Barnes & Noble newsletter
Kelly I am glad the book seems to be doing well. I haven’t ordered mine yet but will be doing so in a couple of weeks. Lots of unforseen expenses lately.
Have you tries Stashes Chai Green Tea? It already has the spices added in and is great. They also have a black chai tea and a green and white tea infusion that I use half and half with the green chai tea sometimes.
Morning Kelly. I read the reviews and good for you.
Good morning everyone!!!!! I am so excited to hear Ryan is doing much better. I hope everyone has a great weekend planed. I will be doing everything I can to get ready for my new duties as President of the Stonewall Democrats of Williamson County. Can you tell I am a little excited and nervous about this? LOL
Good morning Refinish. Glad I checked back in.
Congrats again. I think you’ll do a wonderful job.
Thank you FamilyMan!!!! I am going to do the best I can for the group, the GLBT community and also for our straight but not narrow minded allies!!!!
Never had any doubt you wouldn’t Refinish. 🙂
Just remember not to overdo it.
LOL!!! Remember who you are talking to. I already have an event where I am hosting an open your own chapter booth for the State Executive committee of the Democratic Party. LOL I will also be trying to help the state caucus get more members and more active state wide.
I guess like a little while back, the only way you’re going to rest is when you’re sick.
No Mickey D’s for breakfast today I hope. 🙂
LOL No I will be having oatmeal with honey.
Good for you.
I’m outta here. If I don’t make myself go ahead and do the lawn, I won’t. My slacking inner self is having a conlict right now. 🙂
Take care Refinish.
Thanks for all your hard work, RF. Don’t be nervous! I can hardly think of anyone better suited for the office than yourself.
Thank you!!!! I will try and make the ponders proud!!!!
I saw your comment last night … woo hoo!!!
You’ll do a great job refinish!!!
So does this mean you’ll be baking more choco-goodies? 🙂
He better not bake more unless he shares with everybody in the pond.
Good afternoon FM … How ya doing today?
Doing fine. Just being my usual never stop for a moment, busy self. Yeah sure. 🙂
Well at least you embrace your genuine self!
That’s why we all want to emulate you … 🙂
LOL@FamilyMan!!!! You come over to Texas for a fundraiser and you can get a brownie. LOL
If I come to Texas for a fund raiser, I expect one heck of a lot more than one brownie. 😛
Depends on the size check you write LOL!!!!
Well seeing what money I do have would be spent on getting out there, could you spare a few crumbs. 😛
Of course my friend. I have yet to let anyone leave a fund raising event without feeding them even if I had to pay their way in to the event. We are having in the frall where we are BRBQing a 1/2 a cow and having all the side dishes and I will be cooking lots of different goodies to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. I believe this event will be in early October, but we are already planning it.
Well thanks Refinish, but I think I’ll have to settle for care packages. 🙂
Sounds like that BBQ is going to be something.
LOL … 🙂
Thank you!!!! I will be a lot of baking from now till November for fund raisers. I will cook as many cookies and brownies as it takes to get good Democrats elected. LOL
but I am going to lie down for a nap. I have been up and working since 6 am and need some rest so I can concentrate on more work later today. LOL
About time. 🙂
Have a good nap.
A nap … 🙂
Trying to get ourselves moving around here…slowly but surely. Been watching the PGA championship off/on; big logjam near the top, for any golf fans out there.
With the discussion of chocolate above, might be an appropriate place to put this link:
Worker avoids death by chocolate
Congrats to Refinish and Kelly on their excellent news. Don’t forget us little people you stepped on while you were climbing the ladder of success. 😉
Okay, time to get stirring…
Is Jim swatting a mosquito by his ear?
