What Does The Day Planner Say For Thursday?

My folks asked, nay, begged to babysit the boys today. I must oblige. And now I'm stuck wondering what to do with my free day. Again I find myself awed at the sacrifies I make for my family. I should win an award or something.

I know what I'm NOT doing today: taking 3-legger to the vet. She's holding steady with no coughing and no spitting up blood. I think we've seen the beginning of the end, but the final trip to the vet has been postponed another day.

I DO need to find some bookshelves. We're a bit overrun with words here at The Outpost. I'd like to find some old-fashioned barrister book cases with the glass doors. I know they're out there, but I'm afraid of finding particle board and plastic. My grandfather had an amazing set of these bookcases. I don't know what wood they were made from, but they are heavy and solid and unfortunately, only one or two cabinets remain. At my parents' house. Full of...stuff. It makes me ache. Truly ache.

Ah - I hear The Governor squawking. He woke at 6 this morning demanding to have his doughnut. Huh? I told him we don't have any doughnuts and to go back to sleep and dream about something that we actually might find in our cupboards. He did.

Might as well rouse The Senator and get going. I'm wasting valuable alone time.

Note to Buppa: We saw the fawn! I forgot to tell you on the phone. We came down the driveway, and not too far back from the first gate on the left...there he was. He's definitely more than a few days old, but all spotty and cute.

Note to Margaret: Did we have enough people at the game on Thursday? Win? Lose? Have a great time up north this weekend. You too, Dave!

We started 1 short but got our 11th about 15 minutes into the game. We had no subs. Unfortunatly, we lost by 1 (0-1).

Good to hear the 3-legger is doing better.

Barrister bookcases are expensive - either the originals or the reproductions. Nice, but expensive.

Staples carries a fairly nice semi-Mission style bookshelf - the largest is a 4 shelf w/ top - that's all wood.

Hope Breezie continues well.
