I had only 13 more to finish today.  Ron gave me supper of two cheese filled hot dogs, which I admit I like better than normal ones, and a bowl of stew.  I ate both dogs, and a third of the stew, which he finished.  Then I tried hard to get into my Pink Palace unnoticed.  No such luck!  Ron reminded me it was 8 PM.   Yes I replied, thinking I could bluff my way out of this.  Scottie!  Yes Ron?  It is 8 PM!   Uhm Ok what do you need me to help you with, does the cat need feeding or … 

Ron:  Scottie the agreement was 7 pm.  Either Halo, movie, or bed!.

Damn I thought he wouldn’t notice.   I was so close, but he is allowing me this last post before I have to choose.  I think tonight I am so tired I will watch Picard.  Everyone have a great day tomorrow celebrating what ever it is you do, for me any time I get to celebrate by eating I normally feel that is a win.  Hugs, loves, best wishes.  Scottie.
