I made a mistake which is why you should never

more so than most, I think

Because I clicked send before I double checked

And I should have double checked

I really am a little bit slower on 5 hours of sleep

Because I sent out today’s Magic Monday urban fantasy substack to…

my daily It’s 9AM substack!

Argh!

Urgh!

Oh well,

here’s the story behind the reason why

Share

I almost dropped into a rant about Congress

Because of how much they are failing to do their job

I almost wrote a thousand words about how one single dollar leaving the country

to Israel and Africa and Ukraine and anywhere other than the middle of the USA

Should piss you off so much that we start considering things like the French Revolution as a blueprint for proving that the roots of liberty need refreshing

But instead, I’ll let you know about my morning

#10 and my ex flew in from a trip to Knoxville where they’ve been since Thursday

Because he was one of the top 30 13u baseball players in the country

and got selected for a PG showcase game and award ceremony

Which is pretty freaking cool

And while they were away, I watched the pups and set up my laptop to upload and work

And cleaned, and played and did yard work and detailed the Bronco and mini-van

So basically, nothing changed for me while they were romping around the University of TN

But their flight back was delayed by an hour,

Which put them in at midnight

And instead of driving that late to go back to where I’d stay

I just crashed in the guest room where I had set up camp over the weekend

No problem

Except the puppy of the two puppers gnawed on something that gave her food poisoning on Sunday

So I spent a few hours that day cleaning up after her

Both ends

Three baths

And whatever trail of accidents she left around the house

And there were a lot of them

Poor poopy pup

I thought she had it all out of her system

So after I picked them up, I crashed out in the guest bed

Because it was three hours after my bedtime

And woke with my alarm at 5:30

in the house I once called home

crept out to the kitchen on tippy toes to put on a pot of joe

made my cup and fired up the laptop to do some work for a few hours

When the pup raced right by me, hunched and as tight as a ball, to hide under the guest bed

Now that the door was open

Then she sprinted from under the bed to hide under #10’s bed and I knew

The trouble had just started

Because whatever was bothering her system

Left a present in my ex’s bed, across her comforter, and on the floor and a trail to under the next bed

And again under the other bed

Leaks and dribbles

dark marks on dark wood floors in a dark house before the sun came up

And the ex knew something was up

So I put her on the couch with a clean blanket while I stripped her bed and started a load in the wash,

cleaning sheets and cleaning towels

Filled the kitchen sink with bleach and got on my hands and knees to chase down the trail

wiping and scrubbing

and feeling sorry for this poor sick puppy

Who finally came out from under the kid’s bed, and I washed her off and put her outside so she could maybe do some more business in the grass

Watched while she did

And got everybody up and ready and kept wiping and washing and just basically trying to fix the mess that was made

While doing all the things I used to do when I lived here

Prepping breakfasts, and lunches and washing my hands again and again

It wasn’t even frustrating to clean the house I had just cleaned the day before all over again

Because TCB is what I do

Maybe not best, but almost all my training is in crisis/chaos management

Keeping my head and whatever is left of my wits when the world goes to shit around me

Even literally

So my rant about politicians will only end like this…

They and diapers should be changed OFTEN and for the same reason

If you plan to vote in the mid-term elections, DO NOT vote for the criminal in office or the 2^nd party person running against them (Democrat or Republican)

Vote for a third party or someone else

Otherwise, someone else will have to clean up the mess you keep making

and they might not Take Care of Business (TCB) the way I do

Now you TCB and go get this:

Mondays are for magic.

So if witches, wizards, covens, demons, supernatural mysteries and things that definitely should not be summoned before breakfast are your kind of entertainment…

I made you something.
