Bixa, you are either up very early or going to bed very late. Mick, I think she is playing with her new house appliances, while "Robby" the floor cleaner is scouring the house, the air fryer and toaster oven is cooking up Thanksgiving dinner for all her friends and neighbors.

Bixa, you are either up very early or going to bed very late. Couldn't sleep, Mick. It was really a pain, too, as I was sleepy but just couldn't "go under". Mick, I think she is playing with her new house appliances, while "Robby" the floor cleaner is scouring the house, the air fryer and toaster oven is cooking up Thanksgiving dinner for all her friends and neighbors. Ha ha ~ that's what I should have been doing, right? Finally managed to go to sleep at 5:30 a.m., with the alarm set so I'd be sure to be up when the plumber came. Right now I'm huddled upstairs in my room typing this. Plumber & helper are downstairs laying linoleum tile (what was leftover from upstairs bathroom) in the teeny downstairs half bath. They will then install a new water-saver toilet. Earlier today they replaced the old pfc pipe for the municipal water with shiny new copper. They're lovely guys who do nice work. Wish they would go away now. As for Thanksgiving, I'll be right here continuing to distance, as I would hope US citizens all over are doing. Ronald McDonald -- venerated national icon

Oh, okay. Being an animal impersonator on radio makes more sense than if he carried out his craft where he could be seen.
