First work night half done...

     AS this auto-posts on the HQ, the 1st work night is about half over, and I'm missing my Sweet Gal really, really bad! Short work week this week as I prepare to celebrate grand-daughter Sage's birthday party with my gal on Saturday and, even better, our ninth month anniversary on Sunday!! Awesome! 

    Played a bit of Toontown today, mostly as stress relief, lol. My blue cat, Duke Rockengrooven, is working on beefing up his sound gags. I managed to pick up a new sound gag today, and I'm just futzing around using sound whenever I can to build up that line of gags. I'm a bit OCD about having things evened out, lol, so I'll be using sound whenever I can. Lure, my Sweet Gamer Gal explained, is best used in conjunction with Trap or another compatible Lure, so, short of playing with her, my Lure is going to be idle for a while. Moving on...
