Welp, it looks like I won’t be going anywhere today. I need to stay close to the euphemism.

I’m running a slight fever again, accompanied by the chills and loss of balance, so I’m better off keeping a low profile.

Is that a “stack,” like in pancakes?
Looks like it all needs to be placed on a grill...NOW!

Slither in good health, and Happy Mother's Day!

Frank is poorly today, too, although he’s not needing the euphemism. He just wants me to carry him all the time. It’s a good thing I lift weights!

I went out to tie a wisteria frond to the trellis so it wouldn’t grow between the fence boards, and there was Shannon having a euphemism in what’s supposed to be my pole bean patch. She’s rummaged my peas, too.

Thank you Kind Sir.
I will soon lie down again and hope a nap will make me feel a little better.

A vegtarian cat? How odd. Carnivores rule!
I hope Frank feels better, soon.

"... and there was Shannon having a euphemism in what’s supposed to be my pole bean patch."

Ah, the benefits of organic gardening.

Don't forget to inform us of Shannon's behavior when it comes time to snap the beans. I'm betting the look on her face will be priceless.

I’m not going to have any beans if she continues to dig up the seeds while burying her euphemisms.

A Happy Mother's Day to you, and I am sorry to hear you're feeling poorly.

It's a cold drippy day here, very unlike the forecast for Germany this week. I don't know why, but it seems like I have a ton of stuff yet to do to prepare for this trip. Maybe it's just cramming it all into two days.

At least they aren’t singing “Oh Chell” like the turret opera in Portal 2.

Thank you, and the same to you. I hope you don’t have an earthquake.

I just put Frank to bed. He’s not feeling well.

I for one am glad that Senator Byrd is not around to witness these “barbaric” anteaters.

Nothing yet.

I’m sorry Frank is still poorly.
