And now the rest of the story...

1. B was apparently bitten by a brown recluse at Buddy's house on Monday. Left forearm near his wrist. Swollen, sore, itchy & ugly black bite mark.

And yes, he will get it looked at iffin it gets the least bit worserer.

On the same day Dad got poked in the eye by a branch & though he says it feels fine he looks like something out of a horror movie.

2. My bil lost his re-election bid for City Council last night.

Long story there but he/they are going through a serious heartbreak disillusion thingy with their/my hometown.
3. My niece Chloe will be 16 on Monday.

Sis's bday is Sunday.

Been talking to all of them (mostly Mallory) a LOT lately cuz of Buddy.

4. Parents are leaving tomorrow to go do some pre-winterizing ffuts & gather more clothes & things so they can come back & stay indefinitely. They'll prolly be back Tuesday.

I ain't got a 'sick' feeling bout them going.
5. Buddy was as mentally sound today as he's been in years

but still barely able to stand up & remarkably seemingly unconcerned about it.

He was just a chillin...

talking bout possum for supper & all kinds of ffuts.
I think that's all.


Except...

7 f'ing cats & a mouse in the house!

(see SUDDENLY for understanding)
