Good morning. We’ll be leaving for Pinewood Derby pretty soon. I volunteered to be “race starter,” so someone will have to tell me what to do.

[Monkey Face]

How fun is that? Is it an All Day Event?

I was finding Useless Information about some of my ancestors, though the stuff I got earlier in the week was a lot of fun, being all Pioneering, and such.

I hope the Envirothon was uneventful yesterday, and that today produces some enjoyment.

Later, then...

[Tax-chick]

Just until noonish.

Envirothon went well, in that all the teams felt pretty good about how they had done on the tests, and nobody was having a meltdown.

Seeya later!

My Favorite Son is friends with this guy and submitted a query for the show. FS starts at 25:54 into the video.

(Now, of course, I want an Edd China Grease Junkie Mug!)

[Tax-chick]

We’re back. Kathleen’s car was adequately successful: it came in second several times.

DP and Tom have gone shopping. I’m thinking about nap.

[Monkey Face]

A nap sounds like a great idea!

Mine will take place in a couple of hours and last most of the night if I’m lucky.

[Monkey Face]

I just got a bat card!! My day is complete!

Now, I’m taking my silly self to bed where I can do no more damage. It’s been a strange day and no mistake.

[Tax-chick]

I had a nap. I’m glad you got the card. You should get another on Monday.

[Monkey Face]

I love your cards! They’re so newsy! They make me feel guilty for not writing... :o|

[Covenantor]

Good morning all!

On offer today is the infinite cat-making machine from Japan...

What's the inspiration behind Japanese shopping site's 'infinite cat-making machine'?

From the creator, "The power of cats is great. Just by being there, they create an air of serenity. I like the way they lie on the street, and I created it (the cat cup) with my inner passion for 'the visual cat ideal,' cherishing the image of a cat that suddenly comes into view, but is a little bit distant."

Solves the cat hair allergy problem nicely...might be a good idea not to use litter box sand though. Crazy cat ladies on fixed incomes can now truly run amok!

[Monkey Face]

Thanks, Covenantor!

I need one!!

[Covenantor]

Useful for a cake or meatloaf mold as well...or a lime Jell-O.
;>)

[Monkey Face]

...or a lime Jell-O.

*blech*

Just because I live in the state whose official dessert is Jell-O is no guarantee that I like the stuff! LOL! If I have to eat it, I prefer raspberry. :o])

[Tax-chick]

Don’t feel guilty. Just enjoy some quotidian minutiae that isn’t your own.

[Tax-chick]

That is super cute!

[Tax-chick]

[Monkey Face]

Those cute little things are not available in this country. :o[

[Monkey Face]

What a sweet floof!

Good morning!

I “slept in,” trying to re-set the internal clock for my move. I need to try and adjust it a little more closely to how normal people live. I’ll be expected to go places and do things, but I’ll still have to pick and choose my battles.

I’m going to try and go to church (again) today, but it will depend on how I feel an hour from now. I don’t like to watch it on Zoom because no one stands close enough to the microphone for the sound to be very good, even though I bought external speakers for the occasion.

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. I slept in, too, in spite of Jake’s best efforts.

[Monkey Face]

You probably needed the sleep more than I, since you haven’t been feeling all that well. I didn’t really want to get up, and I’m looking forward to bedtime. At least I’ve had my shower, but I haven’t made the bed. I need to go do that.

Being tired all the time is what I am and have been for 30 years. I don’t see it ending any time soon.
