Good evening, everyone. :hello:

That was a nice restful day. I seem to have started my Halloween Marathon a little early. :lol:

It's 2020. Mother Nature has something far eerier and more dastardly in mind :lol:

In the evening, I took Brutus to his friend, Vito, house to play, while Vito's mommy and I worked on the office Halloween costumes.
I wonder if the doctor will get the joke. :lol:

Good morning, all. :yawn:

Lizzie is bringing in a rat per night now. Looks like we're making headway in the rat wars.
Wait till the kittens get up to speed.

Good evening. :hello:

The highlight of my day was taking trash up to the compactor. And getting the mail. :shrug:

Time to figure out what is for dinner.

That's what we're hoping. She seems to bring them for the kittens.

Well, the gum at my implant is no longer blanched. It's nice and pink, so I assume it's starting to mold properly. I'm now paranoid to the point about contracting Covid when I go out that I decided "the hell with it" with avoiding apps for shopping and ordered groceries from Sprouts. I swung by a while ago to pick up my stuff. I also paid the tax on the Jeep and picked up my tags. The title should arrive in a week.

Today went pretty well. We had a good time taking The Wife's brother out to dinner for his birthday. Now it's time to crash on the couch....

After work today, I am meeting Sue and her husband with the meetup.com group for Dairy Queen, and then, if the weather permits, mini-golf.
It's so good to see you out having fun and enjoying life again :dance:

Interesting. You seem to have undergone a step in your implant process that I never went through :conf: For my implants, after they drilled the bone and set the new fake tooth onto the implanted post, I was basically done.

We've got delivery services around here, but I don't think anyone does pickup anymore.

Happy Saturday, all :hello:

Today The Wife is going with her sister to the mountains to see some woodworking exhibit. So after my walk with Tim, I have the entire day, 12 hours, to myself. I think I'll catch up on all my zombie TV shows and maybe even treat myself to some Indian food :yum:

And in other news, our University is experiencing an uptick in COVID cases. The number has hovered around 1 or 2 or 3 cases on campus all semester. But now there are six cases, the most we've had. Hopefully it's an anomaly but with cases surging throughout the state, I say, "Cue ominous music!" :no:

I'm 12-miles from town. No one is going to deliver out this far.

Good afternoon, everyone. :hello:

My Mother's test came back negative. She got texted by the lab in the middle of an episode of Maverick. :lol:

Mom. Chloe seems to be fine now.
You don't get mail anymore? :eek:
I don't get a lot of snail mail these days.

That's good. I'm sure he was happy that you were concerned.
(and yes RJ, i took a whole bunch of bird pics :D )
Eeexcellent. :yes:

That doesn't sound too far, although I suppose it depends on the roads and stuff. But they might have other customers out that way. Whole Foods goes a lot farther than that when they deliver to emma.

The Wife was gone for the day and I had a great time having the house to myself. I caught up on all my shows, did some cleaning, and pigged out on chocolate :pig:

I'm pretty sure 12 miles is outside the range of deliveries here in Richmond, too.

Yeah, it was a great show all around. James Garner was the best, but I really like the idea of the rotating brothers as stars.

Aside from packages and three magazines, I'm pretty sure all my mail is junk mail.
