When Richard was carrying in my reusable grocery bags he asked if the shelves of our local Kroger are now empty.  Not quite, but this was the biggest shopping I've done in about a month.

Oh, man.  Had the teeth cleaned.  Then went and had two scoops of chicken salad and less than two tablespoons of ranch dressing, then picked up a package then came home to an emergency call from the pressing plant.  It seems that although they've had the label film for Rains of Ranchipur for close to three weeks, and though I could have had it pressed last Monday were it not for the helper leaving town for an entire week, they just looked at the files for the label film today to find that my brilliant designer neglected to put in the link for CD 1's label film.  Naturally, he's teaching today and not at his computer.  If he gets them the film within the hour it can still get done today - if not, it will get done in the morning but not delivered to us until afternoon - what that does to our shipping is anyone's guess, although the helper will not be happy if she's actually tried to do both my work and her other job, because I made it clear that tomorrow and Wednesday are strictly for our stuff given she's been gone for a week.

Good morning, all! The neighbor above me is becoming as irritating as the last one. I liked him better when he was on his late night bartending schedule. My sleeping schedule is screwed up because he has a knack of arriving home between 10 and 10:30pm that interrupts my falling asleep. When he used to arrive home between 2:30 and 4:30am, I'd already been asleep for some time. I'm tempted to leave him a note telling him to go back to his old schedule.

I will shortly head down to Toyland and proof another number. As soon as I hear from the Library of Congress, I can book my train ticket or change my hotel reservation.

More coffee!

One of the first things Craig did when he moved into his apartment was get area rugs to mute the sounds of his pets.  I thought how much you would appreciate this if he were your upstairs neighbor.

I don't think we have EVER been without a dog.....I shall have to check the pictures later today....we probably have a photo.  For someone reason when I was about two years old, I like to throw kittens into the washing machine, so I had to be watched closely.....

I think I was The Bad Seed.

This made me laugh, probably since it included being watched closely. :)

Emergency kind of averted.  File was just sent and they'll be able to press in the early morning and have it to us by twelve-thirty.  Since the helper hadn't actually printed out any postage labels for Ranchipur or Geisha, that will take her all that time to do so and then when the product arrives she'll be able to get everything shipped out.

My drag friend, though, didn't use this approach to making up a name.

TOD:

The first dog which we had when I was aged about seven was a medium sized scruffy black mongrel named Peter. I remember us visiting his mother and selecting him. We all loved him even though he was uncontrollable and ruled the house. He was useful for disposing of left-over food because he ate every scrap going and he seemed to go around with a permanent grin on his face. In winter he selected the warmest spot closest to the open coal fire and would growl at any of us if we tried to move him. He would snap at strangers (and us sometimes) and the postman and milkman soon learned to keep clear of him. We had a black cat at the time as well, who preceded and outlived him to the age of 21 - they had a mutual but respectful dislike of each other. We took Peter for plenty of walks but sometimes he would wander off by himself for hours and several times we had to visit the local police station to collect him. He was a great character and enjoyed life and passed on at the age of 12.   

Peter, such a great English name for a dog. :)

Our landscape project should have been completed by now so you can imagine we are somewhat frustrated.  He now says he will be done by Nov 9th which is the date I said he absolutely must be done by.  I'm having my book group here on the 13th and, aside from wanting everything to look nice, I can't have the women tripping over the walkway.  One woman is recovery from a stroke.

Good day one and all...

Battling the pseudo cold and general malaise. I have not felt very good the last week. I did have a flu show and wonder if that had anything to do with ti.

I did to go to a broadcast of Whad Ya know that was in Fargo. It is on public radio and I rather enjoy it. I am hoping I feel a bit better tomorrow for a part-time interview.
