ho bloody farking hum

Ahhhh poooooo

Darlin's firing was a disaster

shit bum fark indeed

6 weeks to go.....

oh dear

well....

we work well under pressure!

hmmmm

Have been out to backpassage AGAIN today.....bloody sister is going home tomorrow so good...

well....only in so far as that it will mean less trips to the poo place is all

I am trying to get in painting mode......thats why Im blogging of course

Harry Potter was purchased at 9.01 this morning for child who is suitably grateful....lots of people die apparently.....shhhhhh

My hole is filledfull if not fulfilled....

Only two giant needles were required and I was suitably numb for much drilling and digging around nervey bits.....

was very numb and couldn't swallow for several hours after but am fine now and hole-less too so all is good

thrilling yes?

I hear you yawn

my life is really boring for someone who is sooooo bloody busy isn't it...

I just don't see the point of leading you through the dull minutae of it.....shopping centres, car trips, shopping centres, car trips, shopping etc etc

poo

oh....and washing and cleaning and washing and cleaning too....most riveting

so....read any good books lately?

fare well

Thursday, July 19, 2007

but wait....theres more

Am at backpassage

am bored titless

mother has gone out with sister

I am alone with no filing or banking or anything to do

the phones are quiet

and so here I am

blogging

as you do!

I nearly missed my dentist appointment this morning....thought it was at 10.40 when it was really at 9.40...oh dear...rang them at 9.36 to verify this misconcepyion and just lucky they had a cancellation huh!! Oh yes indeed I zipped in and must go back tommorrow to have my hole filled.....hmmmmm.....its a rather large hole and I anticipate needles and pain...POOOO

What else??

I seem to have been running for days and am not liking being stuck in this office doing zilch when I have so much to do...didnt think to bring my homework....poo again

I have found that I can indeed remember how to drive a manual car.....so much gooder...I actually feel safer in this car with its 'grunt'...its always good to know your car will do what you need it to when you need it to...something I was never quite positive of in my marycar for sure.....and a manual is a must for a control freak as I tend to be at times!

So, I am happy with my wheels....need suggestions for names though...angel isnt doing it for me Im afraid...more like Bruno or something, maybe Rocky or Rambo or some such mucho thing as he is a boy for sure.....

Darlin' is up at Nelson Bay glazing pots and preparing for his firing....its a big deal as this stuff is for the exhibition and he hasnt fired this kiln before so fingers crossed everyone that it all goes well!

I am a slackarse YAADer this first month...its been difficult to get it all together...I shall persevere even if I have to repeat!

I had to miss fluffy bunny night again, two years running...poo....all Tahni's fault!

Some week very soon I am going on strike and doing nothing for noone except me.....is starting to get me down, this constant rush around. Need to park and sit for a wee while...
sooooon

Better go find some thing to read.....xxxxx

gawd ahmighty

Okay....breathe
I am here for a second then I must go
very important and busy and busy and effing busy okay
as usual it seems
got dentist appointment shortly
got a registered, insured and schmick new unnamed rocket car parked outside
got a sister who has been visited
got a backpassage unpaid employment to go to
got 12 paintings to do in 6 weeks
AND to finish Glorious'sssss too
thats about it
got stockings/tights/pantyhose on back to front with granny undies and am too cold to change round so must have strangled arse all day
on that note I shall leave you to ponder apon the profound truth of my 411th post
so slack
see ya

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Getting up at 5.30 am is not so bad....

Not when you went to bed at 6.40 pm.....

Yes, I did

and slept all the way through

Most excellent

Am still waiting for wheels that are getting new brakes

Must go to backpassage for important conference

Have to take darlin's car!

He is a bit wobbly about this me driving his car business

Most definately

I am aware of my slack blogging lately

I will get to it .......

Don't hold your breath okay......

(oh well....angel colours)



and it's a manual.........'is got grunt......watch out backpassage road....gulp



Now I just have to remember how to drive a manual.....



Considering I'd only ever driven a manual til I got Marypoordeadcar it shouldn't be too much of a problem



Darlin' is very relieved that I wont be needing to drive his Molly anymore...oh yes indeed



Don't know why...I'm a much better driver than him....ouch...hee ha ha ha



My haircut?



Well, its a haircut



A bit shorter....only got about 2 inches chopped off, nothing drastic, but did get some layers and the weight that came off with that has made it spring up a bit shorter still......hence, body......excellent....and no dead bits....hence, shine......yay....feels like real hair again instead of Barbies.....most goodest



So, hair is okay....haggard face is not....must sleep



Am over chocolate cravings which is excellent



Have got mega multi vitamin which is also excellent



Have got period which I wasn't expecting...where did this month go?



All in all



All is well






whinge bitch

and a haircut.....

I might get excited about that soon........

I'll let you know......

I should be very careful what I say....

Marywendilikanotabus car is dead...

drowned by delayed reaction in the flood

Kaput

Fark!

Were you insured???

Why yes and they will give me enough money to pay the loan out and thats it.

So, time to start again.......

Fark.....fark......fark

Darlin' and I are not happy Jans, no, not at all happy janny type vegemite things at all.

On the bright side??

Didn't have to go to backpassage today...

with one eye on a stalk

goodbye

tomorrow

all is well

am off to back passage to get tired again

such is life

Monday, July 09, 2007

too much for one little chicken


Feeling overweight, overtired, overwhelmed, overaged and over it.


Whatever it may be.


Today I have had enough....


I'm going back to bed now!
poo

Friday, July 06, 2007

Is it Saturday yet????


GRRRRRRRRR

I am hereby retiring as a taxi driver!!

No more

Had enough

grrrrr again

ALL FRIKKIN DAY

grrrrrrr x 4000034

(stolen from shagpile regardless of whether she minds or not)

AND

I went to check out the gallery for exhibition today and the walls have grown
much larger than they were before!!!!

...not enough work have I
even less so now the walls grew!

Acres of them there are...

POOOOOO

Any artyfartys out there who wish to complain about giving a canvas a coat of gesso
spare a thought for me who has just prepared 3 canvas's with 8 coats of undercoat and am now doing 3 coats of gesso......thats EACH....poo for really smooth surface grounds I say

and you know what else

I ran into maryjen today having lunch with a ruggedly handsome boy!!

...and do you know what she was EATING???

a frikkin salad sandwich!!

No excuse for me to go and buy any chocolate either!

pah

And do you know what else??

Darlin spent yesterday cleaning this dust benighted hovel and then I spent last night and this morning washing 12 layers of grease with embedded dust out of curtains and scraping dirt from surfaces with scalpels and toothbrushes

(maybe slight exaggeration there)

all in honour of stupid inspection.

House was schmick...

stupid lady came and was here for 30 seconds and left!

Didn't even have time to glance at shining wonderous ceiling fans or nuffin'

on the plus side she didnt have time to notice gesso spatterd all over the floorboards either..


always something to be grateful for yes?


Is nice to be in very clean in some places house though!

oh yes

will leave on a positive note and hold that thought I think!

Are we there yet?

gosh

stupid inspection lady wants to come to exhibition

she says I "may have some talent here"

poo

if this writing is really big its because blogger sucks and wont make it go small!

poo again

wednesday drivel


You Should Get an Abstract Tattoo

Artistic and unique
You're the most likely type to personally design your tattoo



Jen and Toni are my mortal enemies!

True...the sandwich guy said so!

I am a ham sando.....oh dear

I am also hearing the ringing sounds of silence in my ears!

All children have been mysteriously transported elsewhere for the night and I am just

absorbing it.....

this is extra good because I have cried and chucked big tantrum today and got some things said and off my chest and now need time to recuperate....

I am preparing canvases and stretching paper and trying not to think about tomorrow.....thursdays are looooong days for me

My computer is on go ssssllllloooowwww which is annoying to say the least

I have lost a little tiny bit of weight (probably about half a tit, really)due to not ingesting any (nearly) (does one giant corned beef and mashed potato sandwich count?) crap for 7 whole days

I am having chocolate withdrawals but they will pass!

I am determined that this is so!

Coffee tastes like shit really doesnt it....except for REAL coffee which is yummo!

Will go before I ramble and mumble too much.

Have a good one peoples...

I will ramble because I have not much to say

GRRRRRRR

I will be better tomorrow when I have filled up at the patience pump

and son will have to reformat

and will be offline for hours and hours and hours while he does so

and children who have choking throats and whinge a lot

and need lots of gargles and spits and strepsils and stuff

and 2 drums needing to be made

and feral pigsty house waiting for excavation equipment to come in and remove dust

and paintings.....well pooooooooooooooooo to them

I found a chubby meez...just for lisa....she is not impressed!

All is well

I wll be back eventually

I will see you at arty farty tomorrow

Patience I say

missing bumcracks and stuff


Hello
My Meez has no bum crack...this is disturbing me for some reason...


I would have blogged last night but there was a slight problem with the car


...darlin's car


It has taken up residence in Garden City carpark and refuses to leave


This did necessitate me driving to and from said carpark 120 times last night


Much fun!


My Marynotabuscar was wheezing too....


This turned out to be due to the lack of transmission oil she had in her


Easily rectified for now


must get new distributer seal!!


poooo


There is no exciting news today


I am a shrinking bitch now...hah


I am a witch in training...hah


I am


I am


still.....


Its far too early to blog...


Have a nice day people!


Tuesday, June 26, 2007

thats it!!

I am officially over it...

...when one almost cannot squeeze ones ample arse into the jeans that were too big a short while ago it is definately time to stop eating crap!

I am now a solitaire shrinkie!

All by myself...

No support..

No nothing...

Especially no chocolate....

POOOOOOOOO

I will not have a secret blog...

I do not even care about secret blogs...

That is just toooo bad!

I do not need one!

PAH!

changing heads



Here is me as a Botticelli and a Modigliani....

he he

I need a better photo to do the others Jac.

I got my Meez back!

So excited...

although I seem to have no cleavage!

Pout....

A little darlin'



This is Mason Kane!

He is a giant bruised and battered boy!

His mum is a bit sore today too!

Apparently he came out a bit too quick and got bashed in the process hence the swelling and bruising around his eyes and nose...poor baby!

And poor Sarah had a backwards tear in her bits which has torn her urethra (?) and she has to wear a catheter for a few days...ouch!

10 lb 13 oz this boy weighs!

....wince cringe much crossing of legs and ouchies yes....

Darlin' is proud as punch....as is his daddy, Matthew.

I have not included a photo of Sarah as that would be mean...she looks like she has just had her bum ripped off!

Baby Mason is here...

Welcome to the world little fella!

Sunday, June 24, 2007

succumbing to pressure....

Sounds terrible doesn't it.....

so versatile and everything

Anyway, onto life for this little paintydot lumpy person

Lumpy??

Yep, have awoken this morning with a giant pimple on my jaw that has distorted my face into Quazimodo elephantman type proportions and is not nice!

Poooooo

AND it hurts.

Have spent yesterday driving to pick up oldest child from Kurri and back again and again and again and also driving said child to see ships at beach, its SO BIG isn't it, for posterity and proof that something exciting happened in Newcastle and shopping for supplies and painting and driving and did I mention driving???

Lucky its not giving me anxiety anymore eh!

Driving that is....

Ummmmm.....

Oh and washing too....did lots of washing seeings as there was actually sunshine and stuff.

Am thinking a lot too, about stuff and me and looming exhibitions which should be called inhibitions as thats what they bring up for one...oh yes indeed they do.

Have you had enough yet?

Am waiting impatiently for Darlin's grand daughter to be born who was due 2 weeks ago and will be forced into the nasty world tomorrow if she doesn't arrive tonight.

She. I say she because that is my opinion of her gender, not fact, in fact. I also am of the opinion that she will begin to arrive tonight before induction because she wants to and not because anyone says she has to.......she is related to darlin you know!

This is a huge event for my darlin' as an adopted boy who has only one other of 'him' and now a third is about to arrive!

He has been suitably unbearable for 2 weeks now as one would expect...(sorry darlin' but you have).....and not feeling well too so poooooooooo......dont you tell him I said so though will you! Shhhhhhhhhh......

It will be over soon...the waiting that is...don't know what comes after that!

It did become obvious though that I will be a grandmother by association tommorow though......

I am not old enough for this!

Good bye

I can hear you cheering and do not care a fig!



AHEM.....it is now monday morning and I have to say that my Darlin's

GRANDSON


was born at 5.18 this morning......well.....I was right about the timing if not the 'bits'....apparently he is HUGE....more later!

Congratulations Poppy Laz!!

Why my sink is dirty.....






....because I'm bloody BUSY.....

geez louise


No, this is not Glorious' painting BiFre...

Imagine this....






A woman gets up on the morning after a fabulously wild and funny evening spent with friends banging on skin things and laughing and chanting alot and finds.......


A) Her head has morphed overnight into something resembling mouldy cheese with curlystraight hair with knots in....

B) Her Darlin' won't get out of bed as she kept him awake all night snoring.....

C) The children all swear at her and throw things like pillows at her and smallest but not quietest one eventually leaves for school after NOT getting a lift from bitchfromhellmother but does get all the money in her wallet......so she blogs and loses her Meez to cyberspace and yells and swears alot under breath....

D) Largest girlchild living at home chucks spack and refuses to go to school because she is sick of it and will not waste her life in such a way thereby necessitating her mother to chuck similar spack and exit room screaming in shrill racous voice that said child can stay home forever and stare at walls and work at Henny Penny if thats what she bloody well chooses......this is after crazy haired mother has been working like slave since 6 am to mount bastard childs photography assignment that is due in today.......grrrrrr

E) Goes for secret meeting with BeFri and becomes sane again.......

F) Buys big purple and green box for mysterious reasons and is infected by beadcrazy person and also buys beads but not enough and so will need to buy more.....

G) Comes home to hairball son who closely resembles earlier mother who is madly applying for 2500 jobs so he can hand his form in to that place where forms must be handed in on a regular basis......

I) Blogs again because it is the only thing to do

J) Growls....ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

K) Publishes pics and asks if it is good enough to hang in public place?
M) Welcome to my world......




Poo

I went to dress my Meez and now it wont work...

Monday, June 18, 2007

Sorry about that...

couldn't resist...

Am I grounded?


well, nooooooooo...

Its Jens fault anyway....she started it!!

Sunday, June 17, 2007


Why am I on the computer at 9 on a sunday morning?


Well, why not, I have no competition from various teenagers at this time! Although hairball son has just arisen.....


It is STILL raining people!


Too much of a wet thing thinks I....


My coffee is cold, as are my feet and my fingers...poo


My plan this weekend was to paint Gloria's painting


BUT


Its too wet to paint, it will take too long to dry


POO again


SO I am working on my little paper paintings


Am going cross eyed too....and seeing little dots everywhere behind my eyes...purple ones, yellow ones, green ones.......


It has been a nice lazy couple of days....excellent, I deserved a couple of those for sure!


Arty farty tomorrow......excellent


Drum making workshop next weekend may be postponed due to trees falling through peoples roofs and flooding and other such good excuses...poo


Understandable really...


Muggle has my email address! Oh my goodness I am scared....


ha hah ah


Its time for the rain to stop!


I want some sunlight!


I am raving and boring I know.


Oh well, you get that.


I am a witch in training apparently so I shall put an order in for some sun!

Wednesday, June 13, 2007

day off???? Poo......

Wednesday is supposed to be my day off!

PAH

Why are all the children at home?

GET THE SCHOOLS OPEN I SAY!!

Oh well....

Worked at backpassage yesterday...filing in backpassage is not fun....no no

There are lots of lovely lakes to see on the way there now though.....they do seem to have fence posts sticking out of them though which is odd!

I couldn't take pics and drive too so you will have to go see for yourself.....

It was very beautiful and distracting at sunset I must say!

Anyway, so now its Wednesday.....

I shall go for coffee

I assume Jen is going too

I went to bed early last night to get some sleep...

and stayed up till late reading!

Must stop doing that!

Okay ankle, get dressed......

Monday, June 11, 2007

more...

Starry eyed!

Too cool....


Littlest bro' and madam muck

monday morning and all is well....and cold

Gosh its cold

Must be all that water in the ground

My house has survived the raging torrents etc with no more damage than the back fence nearly falling down....and an extremely damp garage full of Darlin's stuff...it will dry out.

There is a huge tree over the road a couple of doors up but it fell on the road instead of the house so thats a bonus!

Marycar wasn't real happy about being stranded in the railway carpark but has recovered now except for a wet drivers seat....which is a mystery as she isn't wet anywhere else.

Being trapped in Sydney overnight wasn't so bad. We were eventually warm and comfortable and fed. The girls and I were put up at CSV college and the boys, Josh, ex and youngest brother all had to go stay at the pub....they didn't complain!

It was a very looong damp and freezing cold day and I seem to have done something nasty to my back which is very sore but intact!

The roads are telling a story are they not.....

I have to go and get supplies today.....yuk

Its much warmer here by the heater for sure

Henny Penny sold 160 kilos of chips on saturday night...isn't that exciting!

Prayers going out to maryJ and to those in Maitland....xxxx

Saturday, June 09, 2007

Highlight of an otherwise feral day!

Beautiful soggy girl



The real story







Pretty swish catholic scientist virgin kitchen slave honours graduate

Who shall now be forever revered as the one who

made us go to Sydney "that" day

More later....it is ominously quiet outside

Am sending healing to the families of those who have died in this last 24 hours.

Am grateful that rock slides didn't land on us as ours was the next train due through

and especially that we chose not to drive!

home

Oh dear

Have just arrived home not long ago

Will not blog about it just now

Suffice to say an interesting family outing was had by all

Children are requesting that we never have another....

POOOOOOO

Thursday, June 07, 2007

pooooo


Yep...

My day was a bit whiff

poo

Electricity went out this morning and wouldn't go back on without intervention from an electrical type person....

poo

It rained all day when I had to drive to backpassage and back again

poo

Electricity blew up the 5th jug in a year for me thereby necessitating the purchase of a new one before beverages with caffiene in them could be consumed.....

poo

Mother was in fine form today and wished to sell me the business for $2 but I wisely refused.. seven days a week on this money would kill me for sure!

poo

The phone has rang every 5 minutes since I walked in the door and 3 times whilst in the car

poo

Darlin' is away tonight making pots in Nowra

poo

I must take all children and an ex husband to Sydney tomorrow on a train so as to avoid long weekend traffic nightmare ob the way home

poo

Eldest child graduates from Sydney uni tomorrow with first degree honours, having come first in her year, and will be wearing funny gown with cap and other such stuff and Darlin' took the bloody camera with him

poo for Darlin'...yay for Tahni of course

Mother has been so good as to loan one her office camera for the day so that is not poo

Ummmmm, poo poo poo

Thats all folks!

toodles from the ankle with hairy legs and tired eyes

Tomorrow will be better I am damned sure....I will be far from the phone and not in the car...bonus!

...see my picture?

Wednesday, June 06, 2007

How many hours do I have in a day???

Not enough I think

I have been painting a dragon drum today

It is very beautiful but this dragon is SOOOO BOSSY!

She is happy now though.....

6 hours later!

Must go make two quiches and sew a drum bag...

This is my day off???

One more thing...

There is a small chance that some of my work will be shown in an exhibition in New York.....

This weeks topic for circle was to invite your "guide of abundance" into your life and chat with it/her/him.....

Interesting huh...

This is an extremely ritzy and expensive health resorty type place out at

important things

How long does a group interview go for?

I think it said from 9 til 10

I COULD do coffee at 10.30 - 11????

Before my optometrist appointment......

10.30 at Sunnies???

Welllll???????????????

Do you know how long it has been since I went for a job interview!

A verrry looong time!

I do not even have a CV...


Must go and stuff envelopes for toilet paper!!!

Wednesday, May 30, 2007

aging disgracefully

I am old!

This is true...

the optometrist has told me so...

This is a good thing right now!!

True!!!

My eyes are getting 'notyouth' and causing me too have a small problem in adjusting my focus which henceforth strains them terribly when I am DRIVING and they tighten all up and feel like the freezing of eyes that feels like it happens when you have ANXIETY attacks.....are you following me!

The reason this is a good thing is that my 'anxiety' issues around driving lately have an actual physical cause and I am not sliding headfirst into disgusting panic attackitis!?

So, yay?

....that is until I get to pay for new glasses after eye test on Friday...pooooooooooooo

Other news is my baby girl has finally arrived at 'womanhood'!

On the same day she got her braces....double whammy for sure!

She shall of course kill me if she reads this!

Which she won't because I am a boring blind old fart.....

So, as an official old fart with all grown up children I will now have to figure out what to do with myself for the next 40 odd years.....

oh dear

Coffee anyone?

As for you Mme, its not MY fault if you are too busy losing weight with shrinkies and can no longer do me for coffee on wednesdays!

PAH....I had to go out SHOPPING to get over it all and everything and I couldn't even buy anything because I am too OLD!

arty farty's rock

I have decided that I quite like being an artyfarty facillitator!
Note I do not say teacher here!
Teacher is a scary word and to be quite honest I do not feel like one even though, in effect, that is what I am doing I suppose.
My artyfarty marys are teaching themselves!
They are BLOOMING! Forging ahead in leaps and bounds....GETTING IT.... etc etc etc

Yay!

I am an 'aide'

a 'helper alongerer'

an 'encourager'

I like it a lot

Go for it mary's!

I think we shall have to have a wall once a month at the cottage to show off on!!

And T-shirts that read "Artyfarty's Rule..."

Ah well, be happy today ankle,

tomorrow you drive..............

a slackarse am I...

sorry that I have not blogged
a slacker blogarse never seen
driving, working, feeding kids
it's hell my life has been

today however I have not
ran around all day
on my bum I have sat
and with paint did play

oh yes, I am a painter
a painter yes am I
little dots and other things
in a blue and purple sky

and I shall paint tomorrow
in between the fuss
that hosting two of shelli's friends
shall cause all of us

and sunday I will paint some more
as much as I can bear
and if that isn't good enough
well, I don't bloody care!!

Hi ho hi ho
its off to paint I go......


HA HA HA HA HA


ahem

sorry 'bout that

Things I will possibly be grateful for ONE DAY!



  • The parking ticket I recieved yesterday for being absent minded....I could have used that $77 for something much more betterer I am quite sure!

  • The anxiety attacks I have suddenly been experiencing whilst driving to Lemon Tree Backpassage and home again

  • Being in the car driving with a tight band of tension wrapped around my head for about 42 hours today

  • Periods

  • Messy houses that don't clean themselves, dinners that don't cook themselves and children who whinge when you do your best!

  • $500 that spends itself before I get a word in!

  • That I'm not finished yet and the day has been lasting for about a week now...

Things I am very grateful for today



  • Son whose 17th birthday it is!

  • chocolate

  • coffee

  • Cars that stay on the road even when my head is totally convinced they will slide off

  • Ladies who pay me $500 and offer to help market my work because they believe in it

  • Other lovely ladies who order Guide Drawings and are charming about it

  • My friends who will read these whinges and care!

  • Darlin's who will rub my back later even though they don't know it yet!

  • That I am not suffering from the flu and dealing with snot as well as everything else!


Thats it...I will find some balance in all that soon!

Today I have....

  • spent all my painting money that I haven't got yet (well, in my head anyway)
  • been to the markets and visited some witches selling wares in the wind and the sun
  • spent all my money that I do have at said markets (thats what happens when you take shellibabys with you and find bargains...note to self: find self restraint and apply immediately)
  • done some work on two paintings that are in progress
  • sat around and stared at the wall, the book, out the window, in the fridge etc etc
  • purchased a new budgie (bloody markets) that was a GOOD buy as currently owned budgie was having a very dull life....said budgie 'Minty'is suitably impressed and likes new friend 'Popcorn' very much indeed and they are quite happily picking things out of each others heads and being all lovey dovey....which is much better than ripping each others heads orf!
  • Ummmmm, not much else really
  • oh yes, been to Kmart to purchase school necessities for smallest child such as school books and a bendy ruler...ho hum
  • had a bath, cooked a meal, drank lots of coffee, contemplated making a quit date and not done it...yet.
  • Thats about it
  • Yep, thats definately it for sure
  • Indeed
  • Goodnight

HAH!!

I just sold two paintings
I just sold two paintings
ah ha ha ha
And she wants to buy two mooooorrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeee

yay yay yay

YIPEE

Today is a good day!

poo

You know what happens when you sleep in till eleven and then spend the day doing nothing?

You stay awake all night tossing and turning and sleep is illusive and you wake up feeling decidedly worse for wear, thats what.....

Poo I say, big fat poo!

Today I am going to show a lady some artwork in the hope that she will like it and purchase some, one, whatever.

I take shellibaby to netball.....a pointless sport if ever I saw one....

I go to support group at the cottage to see whar a slackaarse I have been this week.

Am supposed to be walking in my truth and I suppose I must be because I haven't noticed anything much that is screaming out for me to pay attention to...

Well, maybe a couple of things but I am much too tired to give it any thought right now.

Must go wake up somehow....

Have a nice day all!
