Mornin John.
So that's why they call it morning wood?

It happens in the morning and If you had to describe how wood feels what are some of the words you would use?
Just at work missing my 4 day work week. Trying to convince myself that more money is better.
I'm cleaning the trailer today, this time I can't entirely blame co-worker for the mess. I can also blame the boss, the mechanic, Little Tyler, and probably myself.

So... this was supposed to be the last week of our July-start school session, and instead the kids and I are at home, waiting to find out if there is a confirmed positive case of Covid on campus.
Someone--we haven't been told whether it was a student or a teacher or which classroom they are in--had contact with someone who tested positive, so my boss shut the whole school down until their test results come back.
So I got up at 5:30 and went running, with my mask, as I do anyway, and Hermione got up at 6:30 anyway and started baking muffins, and we're looking at between 1 to 14 days (depending on the test results) of just being at home. We can't use this time to go to the zoo or the arboretum, even with masks, because just in case the person tests positive and we end up having to quarantine, I don't want to be the person who unwittingly spread it to 600 other people before they found out.
I predict this house is going to get very, very clean and I am going to start at least three new projects that I may or may not finish.

I have sleepy kitties <3
I didn't have my glasses on when I read this.
I had to look again just to be sure. Because I thought Paizo would have edited it.
My trailer was invaded by the barn cats.
Fortunately I have enough hoses, power cables, and axes for everyone to play with.

Possible unpopular prediction time - this will happen almost every week at virtually every school in the US. Whenever there is 200+ individuals coming through a building (given the current COVID prevalence in most of the US), at least one of them has been exposed at any given time necessitating a quarantine.

Test came back negative. I'm back in the classroom tomorrow.

She does not know what to do with it once she catches it. She just holds it in her mouth.
I used the opportunity to train my husband on what to do in that situation.
Arya gets very upset if you try to take her mouse while she is holding it. But periodically she will drop it to get another look at it. When that happens, the mouse is stunned for about 2 seconds. That is your window to trap it under a plastic bowl. If you miss that window, the mouse takes off, Arya catches it again, and you have to wait for the next drop.

this sounds like fun for Arya, not so much for anyone else.

She will be giving Merah and Mephistopheles hunting lessons in no time.
You might need to set up some sort of video chat with Woran for that, though.
Have the kitties noticed the rats by now?

(1) "Defense contractor with billions in sales got millions in pandemic loans intended for small businesses"
(2) "U.S. Small Business Bailout Money Flowed to Chinese-Owned Companies"
(3) "More than 100 CEOs warn Congress of 'catastrophic' consequences for small biz without relief bill"
Yeah... hmmm... how about, "Not without real oversight this time, buddies!"?

The rats are not impressed. They understand that when the cage is closed, nothing can come inside. And no cat has been near when the cage has been open.
The cats do look at the rats from time to time, but with more of an air of 'there is nothing ELSE on TV'.
Both are clearly more feather oriented in prey. I have a few fuzzy play things, that they like, but they both go kill mode for the stupid feather on a stick we have. That feather must DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The trailer cleaning only took me 5 hours.
The boss was at Crookshanks' job site all day, which meant there was no goofing off, which is basically torture for high schoolers.
Meanwhile I had three cats transfixed by my bumbling attempts at corraling plastic edging into a cohesive unit and made sure every cord, hose, and roll of fabric was properly attacked.
Which I made sure to tell her about on the way home.
In fairness, she spent the past weekend being a (jerk) teenager to everyone in the house, for (teenager) reasons.

Feathers on sticks are prime playthings. Our cats couldn't get enough of them, either. When he was young, we danged the feather on a string in front of our Siamese. He took one swipe at it, grabbed it, and immediately bit through the string in one fluid motion, then dropped it. Whelp. He was not amused at first. He grew to love that thing in the end, though he did keep trying to bite the string when he got the chance.

Eventually people at the hardware store will stop asking me if I need help with anything.
Hardware store guy (after seeing me looking at bicycle pumps): Do you have any questions?
Me: Um, yes. Which one of these would you recommend for pumping up a car tire, or use to inflate a corpse into a giant balloon?
Hardware store guy (eyes bulge): What?!.. I just work part time!
Me: No worries, I'll figure it out myself!
I think the mask might not help in this situation.

You want the PumpMaster 6000 XXL. We don't have any in stock, you would have to special order it. Usually arrives in 4 to 6 months.Eventually people at the hardware store will stop asking me if I need help with anything.

F*** me up the *** with a rusty chainsaw, I had JUST FINISHED LOADING MY D***** SCHOOLBAG FOR TOMORROW WHEN THE BOSS TEXTED ME THAT THERE'S ANOTHER F****** POTENTIAL CASE, THIS TIME IN MY CLASSROOM. So the kids and I have to stay home again tomorrow, and continue waiting.
It's abundantly clear that I'd make a f***ing terrible Buddhist.

Update: The child has lesions on her fingertips. Her pediatrician says this is a Covid symptom in children. They did a rapid test, which came back negative, and a PCR, which hasn't come back yet.
F***.
Ouch! Good luck, lisamarlene.
Night John.

I didn't know you were a Buddhist. I almost converted to Buddhism at one point.
Also schools starting back now sigh I am so worried over that and I don't even have any contact with kids.
Rainy day after multiple overheated days.

What is awful humidity?
Today my son came up to me and said "Dad, every time I try talking to girls I get butterflies in my stomach. What can I do?" I said "That's easy, my boy. Stop eating caterpillars."
That one could be on a laffy taffy wrapper...
