Got a case of ferret brain this morning. Got some things I want to get accomplished. Got some things I need to get accomplished. And no real plan of attack.

I just spent the last 10 minutes wandering around wearing nothing but a pair of shorts and my shoes, looking for my bra, and running over this list in my brain.

Found the bra. Now I suppose I should try and knock some of the things off my need list so I have the afternoon for the want list.

Getting things accomplished

Well, I found where the smell in the kitchen was coming from.....

I'll spare you the details.

About to leave for the monthly head shrinking of TMF and I. Managed to get the kitchen put mostly back together. Got the floor mopped at least.

Henna is sitting on the kitchen counter, steeping. There will be muddage when I get home.

It's been a busy day. Went to the headshrinker, had a good session. He's suggesting looking into Habitat for Humanity or the Food Bank. Said that volunteering x hours a month might help us get de-rutted.

TMF dropped me off at Hasting to meet Demon. Waaaaay too many books that needed to come home with me. Only a couple did though. Afterwards we went to the fabric store and got fabric for her bodice. Then we tripped over to Michaels, some store call Spirit Halloween and then drove over to pick up Mark and Virginia.

I went to United and got stuff for BBQ. We've got BBQ pork to take to work for few days. That'll be a relief from our normal diet of sandwiches and chicken. I swear....I can't even say the word chicken without gagging.

When I got home, I henna'd my hair. I only left it on for about an hour and a half this time. It stained my hand pretty quickly, we think I may have gotten some fresher henna this time. I started the coals and jumped into the shower. When I got out, Serenity was here.

I had just gotten out of the shower, was just about to lay the pork on the grill when the phone rang. It was TMF's Great Aunt. She was asking me to take her to the ER, she had "a bit of pickle or onion" in her throat and she was sure she was going to choke.

Ila Mae has this thing though....she doesn't swallow as well as she used to. When you're in your mid 80's, you don't do a lot of things as well as you used to. But she gets panicked when a bit of food catches in her throat or scratches her throat as she swallows.

I called TMF, I figured he could talk her out of going to the ER. Serenity drove me over there where we reassured her and had her eat some bread and drink some milk.

Came home just in time to declare the pork chops done and eat. Serenity had a job to get to, so he ate and ran. Mark and Virginia, and Demon and I watched a bit of the debate. Trying to discuss politics with Virginia is like trying to discuss physics with a box of animal crackers.

Got a second call after dinner from Ila Mae, this time about a battery on a charger. She couldn't get it off, and was pretty certain that the battery was going to be ruined. So I went running back over there, to find out she'd figured out how to get it off the charger after all.

Came back home, watched some TLC, and then took Mark and Virginia home around 10:20.

Sitting here now, waiting on TMF. Need to put dinner away. Need to put clean sheets on the bed. Not much urge to do either right now.
