In every job that must be done 

There is an element of fun 
You find the fun and snap! 
The job's a game…

Exactly! Mind if I put this in my office? I'm going to need the extra encouragement.

What are you eating?

I thought it might have been one of those candies that start popping when you put them in your mouth.

Mary Poppins is often needed to provide that extra encouragement

Packing is tedious. To me anyway. But if you make it like a fun game, I'm sure you'll finish in no time. 

Doesn't come as more of a game than the way my paternal grandmother did it.  She wintered in Florida with my aunt every year, and mom and I were tasked with helping pack every October to leave on the 1st of November. Gram would rummage through dressers and closets, tossing clothes over her shoulders hollering "suitcase" "ship" or "dispose of".  Our job was to catch, fold and put in the appropriate place before the next piece came flying.

Oh, so you have experience. I'm a terrible procrastinator when it comes to packing. Still haven't done any of it unless you count the 30 lb bag of dog food that I picked up this morning and left in the car.

Well see? You have started!

What I have found helps is to put a laundry basket aside for packable. As clothes come back anything coming with goes into it.

Woot woot!  We have a light coating of snow here.

I keep getting this tight, slightly tingling feeling in my mouth and jaw after eating. It's a weird sensation. T_T

Hey, Lacey. You should get that checked out.

Happy Monday Gary and everyone else around

A surprise waiting for you in the barn... You'd want it to have light fur on its belly... It's more kittens!

[Headstall]

@dughlas I got you a little something to keep you company on your trip. Return to sender when you're done...  unless you want to keep your prezzie.

Looping had a crappy start of the week and is royally pissed at me

When he still hadnt shown up this morning since last night I grew worried. Would it have been Minion I wouldn't have been worried but Looping always come home at night, especially as it rained (yes, he's a bit precious like that). I looked everywhere, turned out he had been locked up in the garage yesterday evening when dad put some stuff there. 

Not an hour later I hear him meow: no one outside, in the rooms... Turns out he had followed me in the laundry room and got locked up there

Then he got his spot on treatment against fleas and finally got locked up - intentionally this time - in his travel bag to go back to the apartment

No kidding.  And I don't own the herd either.  They are there of their own free will.  And are not subject to pilfering.  😛
