Survived the fair

And knew the humiliation of being outrun by a 5 months pregnant woman. :P We did pretty good, though. Hit Lush, then the fair, then wound up at Babies R Us. Made some baby shower plans. Am now tired.

Just in case

I'm posting this because I'm off to the State Fair with Caroline tomorrow and then Thursday I have an eye appointment. Thusly, I must be sure to get my 31 posts for July in while I still can. :D

Finally, the straight story

Tagalong is, in fact, engaged. And Poor Schmuck and his two boys have moved in with her. I wish all of them well. PS and Boys are going to need it. :P

Fright in the night, again

Got a bit of a scare last night!

I was sitting in bed, reading. Mr. Samoa was out in the living room doing the same. Black Quix 1 was sitting on the windowsill, when all of a sudden she started growling and bristling. Both behaviors are extremely unusual for Black Quix. "This cannot be good," I thought. I called out to Mr. Samoa to turn on the porch light. He had heard the growling as well, and was also a bit unnerved. I looked out the window, couldn't see anything, but Black Quix was still growling and bristling. Then Mr. Samoa came in the bedroom and looked out the window. He chuckled and said, "Look out there, right at the stairs."

The dread beast that had caused all this trouble was the fat gray cat from the farm that's up on Felix' Road, about a quarter mile away. We have mice and baby rabbits running around, so it was almost certainly in pursuit of one or the other. It finally saw Mr. Samoa looking at it and sprinted off. Apparently Black Quix had seen it and was just being Territorial Kee. We praised her for her bravery in driving off the fiendish creature. :D

Not much to report

Yesterday, did absolutely nothing. The main highlight of the day was when we went and got cat food. My vacation is officially begun as of Monday!!!

TODAY

Death Migraine 99% gone. Vacation next week, YAY!!! No word on Mr. Samoa so far. It's now nearly noon and he hasn't come home a sobbing, unemployed wreck, so I suppose no news is good news. TGIF, in any case.

THURSDAY

Got fed up with migraine and went to ER for medication. Medication lasted about 5 hours, then head pounded for rest of day. Mr. Samoa spent 14-hour day at work, then came home a babbling wreck. Apparently the Widget Guru had neglected to tell him and his group about a key component, without which the widgets will not run. This happened at 6:45 P. Mr. Samoa's boss wanted the widgets to go on their inaugural run today (Friday). Ain't happening, as you might imagine. :P
