Boggins here. That’s right, the janitor. Things have been dark around here the last few days. Not literally. The agents are all half-blind mole people and this directorate rivals the sun for light on most days.
No, the darkness here comes from a most unfortunate virus spreading all around these fancy hallways. Everyone is miserable with a sickness to the stomach, and weeping rashes. HEE HEE HEE. From the chickens!
They always laughed at old Boggins, and his raw chicken leg breakfast, every day since I was a little rascal with new teeth in my mouth, eager to chomp on … things. Ma always led me straight along, always looking out for Boggins.
“Boggins,” she’d say from her rocking’ chair, hands full of biscuits, or stirring up biscuit batter. “You must always remember to have a slice of raw chicken wif yer morning biscuits. It’ll keep the coughies away from yah.”
Ah, Ma! You always did look out for me.
Now look at all these posh, dignified Agents, always laughing at old Boggins. How sick they are! Too much vomit for Boggins to clean up. The Beastmaster, the smelliest man that ever lived, he’s away, and so I just turned the Verbhounds loose on the grounds. No more cleaning up sick for Boggins! Those mutts are good for something after all.
Me? I’ve got run of the place, all to myself. HEE HEE HEE.
EXERCISE:
That’s it. Get your exercise, people, so I don’t have to clean up after yah when you get too close to the chickens and you catch what they’ve got. And eat your biscuits.
Not only have I been exercising — I have been keeping a WRITTEN LOG of it, lest the verbhounds grow too hungry.
Further, I have this evening supped on biscuits. Of the peanutbutter-chocolate and molasses-spice variety.
The one enables t’other, what can I say.
I do hope the Directorate’s back in ship-shape soon!
Today I took the ol’ girl for a walk around the block. She’s been sick lately, but she’s a good girl, and has been resting. I think the fresh air was good for her. Slow pace, stopped to check out a couple of interesting sites! Nice to have spring coming around again. I think there are more walks in our future!
