And the lord said, let there be sound… and the talk radio turned on, and the people awoke. We’re awake here at the Flat. The sun is starting to shine. The cats are in their own spaces. Pippin is at the back door, watching her queendom, and Chaucer is on…

Good morning mother-bitches! It’s Saturday! Garage sale day! I had a relatively good sleep. It was more of a light doze starting around 6:30 I believe. The bed was perfectly warm, but not too warm. Yesterday wasn’t too bad at work, but the time moved pretty slowly. Because the weekend….

The alarm scared me this morning. We’re awake, and it’s a gray morning out there. It looks like it’s finally rained most of the night. Which is good, we needed the rain here in town. The grass around the area was starting to look pretty dead. Back to work today….
