Timing is everything.

3. I wouldn't even begin to consider thinking about the idea of

having a notion to get involved in this one.

20. Yes, thank you. And this morning, too. Though I need a backhoe...

Massive office-cleaning project underway.

21. Force yourself to take little DU breaks.

If anything, we can help you fight that urge to clean. :)

5. LOL!

My precious furbabies always have to go and christen a fresh litterbox. Well, cats will be cats. :D

6. If only, Crispi...

One of them christened the floor while I was washing out the box. :)

And, earlier tonight, one of them barfed up on the kitchen floor - in at least 3 different places. I cleaned up two of them. Only two, because I stepped into the third spot - barefoot. Or is that barffoot? :eyes:

Are you feeling better today? :hi:

8. There is NOTHING worse than stepping in cold puke barefoot.

Unless maybe, stepping in warm puke. :rofl:

I'm a lot better today. I think it's starting to settle down into the garden-variety cold, although I still have the sore throat from hell. How about you, when are you heading off for your family visit? :hi:

9. Well, that depends on who you ask.

Mom thinks tomorrow, but I'm thinking Wednesday.
I have done little else but sleep for the past 2 days. You'd think she'd understand that I don't want to go there when I'm tired... but she's all excited about the grandkids coming.

Glad to hear you're better. Are you off this week?

11. Yep.

And I hear ya about the sleep. That's mostly what I've done too. I think this time of year we need it!

Yes, I'm off all week, although -- get this -- we have 2 days holiday, and 3 days "mandatory" vacation. That's right, the office is closed all week, but you have to burn three days of your vacation during this week whether you want to or not. :mad: This is the first year they've done that and it sure pissed a lot of people off.

Is it a long drive for you to go home? Is it still very snowy up there?

14. I live about 3 hours away.

It's just long enough that it's hard to do a 1-day trip down there. (Thank you, Bishop and Cabinet, for moving me so much closer to home. :sarcasm:)

The snow is melting... but we may be getting more later in the week. I hope so, because it will keep the kids busy.

Mandatory vacation? Then they should give everyone 3 days extra vacation... or at least, 3 SOL days.

16. Exactly.

Yes, three hours is a bit long for down and back. That's about from here to Austin. Which I wouldn't like to do in a one-day trip -- it makes for a pretty long weekend, too, down one day and back the next. Anyhoo, drive safe! :hi: Glad to hear it's melting some.

Think I'm off to bed. nighty night! :hi:

18. Oh, I hate it when I do that.

Stepping in anything wet except the bathtub barefooted is such a disgusting feeling.

10. Cats don't expect you to understand them.

And they really don't give a damn if you do or not. That's who they are. :)

15. when it's overflowing,

it's not a good time. When that happens, Oreo is usually after me, biting my arm until I take care of it.

I wish I had the cats when they were kittens - I would have tried to toilet train them. :)

Cool. Yeah when the crapper is plugged up is not good. :)
