I’m writing for tomorrow. The heat is blasting. Guitar Man is screaming. I long for sleep. I ate a simple meal. I could not do more. God bless and hugs to all.

The chimp was far to valuable an animal to risk. They should have sent a Teabagger instead.
Patty is a regular, and you’ll find her excellent comments on virtually every article, almost every day. She comes to us from Care2. This is her sixth Big Mouth Award, having also posted the 28,000th comment in January, the 31,000th comment in May, the 33,000th comment in July, and the 35,000th in September 2012. She also posted the 41,000th in March of this year. Patty’s is still a MAJOR Jig Zone predator, and is now known as the Patty Monster. She attacks those puzzles with all the zeal of a Republican politician trying to steal your grandma’s benefits. In addition, she Monster Mashes the gridiron of our fantasy football league, and she even had the audacity to beat ME!! She is a completely welcome regular here. Thank you, Patty!
Writing for tomorrow, I’m thoroughly exhausted from a grueling, but highly successful day of shopping, in which I accomplished everything I set out to do. My aches have aches, but it’s worth it. And I could not let tomorrow pass without expressing how thankful I am for being alive, for getting to move, for good friends here, and for each of you. There are no short takes today, as I have had no chance to research them. May the holy Ellipsoid Orb bless your team, if they are worshiping.

I’m writing for tomorrow, and this may be the only day this week I can do a complete Open Thread. Tomorrow is a major shopping day. My friend, with whom I do volunteer work, will be chauffeuring me to several places, and I’m sure I shall return home exhausted.
Update from today: Guitar man woke up. 🙁

Fantasy Football Report:
Here’s the latest from our fantasy football league, Lefty Blog Friends.
Scores:
At least, I would not have been dead last had I not slept through my 9:30 AM injury check, and put Adrian Peterson back in the lineup. 🙁
Standings:
Just two more games before the playoffs start.
Short Takes:
From The New Yorker: The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told reporters today his nation agreed to a deal on its nuclear program in the hopes that it would distract attention from the trouble-plagued rollout of Obamacare.
“It’s true, we’ve resisted any deal on nukes for over three decades,” the Ayatollah said. “But when we saw how much trouble Obama was having with his Web site, we realized it would be uncaring of us not to try to help him out.”
The Ayatollah said he was not “overly optimistic” that signing a nuclear treaty with the West would be sufficient to distract attention from the President’s Obamacare woes, but, he added, “You never know. Every little bit helps.”…
Oh Andy!! Republicans will be quoting this as fact!
From MSNBC: More Virginia Election Theft?
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
I think there may well be valid reason to determine that the election was improperly conducted, because of all the Democrats deprived of their right to vote. For Republican state legislators to deprive all Virginians of their votes and simply appoint the Republican fits perfectly within InsaniTEA! Beware!
From Crooks and Liars: In the wake of an agreement finally being made to address Iran’s nuclear program, to no one’s surprise, it’s got every neocon war monger out there wailing like banshees and one of the loudest was of course our former embarrassment of a U.N. ambassador, John Bolton: Experts Praise Effective Iran Sanctions While Fox’s Bolton Calls For Strikes:
I can think of few things more anti-American than a former US official telling a foreign nation to undermine US foreign policy by committing an act of war against another nation.

I’m writing for today, because I had no time to do so yesterday. I was back at the new place doing more measuring and inspecting it for defects, so I don’t get blamed for the damage. I think Guitar man crashed, after a 3 day rampage, high on speed. I actually had four hours of uninterrupted sleep for the first time in several days. I’m still as energetic as a dead dawg. Today, I get a day of comparative rest, because I have to stay home all day waiting for an O2 delivery. I tapped my last tank today. If I can, I may even get a complete Open Thread done.

I’m writing for tomorrow and am still quite exhausted, so I’m still in minimal mode. Guitar Man has awakened me four times today, and I’ve had tons of work to do. I ordered the first product today: my area rug. The time before last that I moved, my area rug was the last thing to arrive. Installing a run under furniture is never fun. Tomorrow afternoon, I’m going back to the new place for some additional measurements. I hope I can get some sleep.

Writing for tomorrow, a Holy Day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb, I don’t even know when or with who my Broncos are worshiping. I have to go back to bed, while continuing to duck short takers, comments, and messages.
