back in Room 6
OK everyone..I'm off to bed. I seriously don't want to get up so early.But my mother made this appointment for godawful 8 in the morning!

coming in Whew!I'm pooped!
Rosita:How did you do at the doctor,Kathy?
pouring myself some fruit punch Well,I need to go on a diet.
Prairietaking my glass from me : You don't need this.
Hey!Wait a second! First of all,I'm not dieting until after my cruise.Second,this fruit punch is light in calories. So may I have it back,please and thank you?
Prairiehanding the glass back to me:Sure.Sorry about that.
That's OK. I'll be cutting down on some stuff now though.For instance,you know how much I like whispering-cookies right?
Rosita:Right.
Prairie:You're not as bad as you know who,though.
laughing True,but I am pretty bad. So I'm cutting down to one a day.And I'm going to take 2 walks a day.
Prairie:Ooh Kathy!Good for you!
Rosita:Si!We'll even go for walks with you,right Prairie?
Prairie:Right!
Girls,that's very sweet!But you don't have to!
Prairie:We'll see.
OK..OK... holding up my hands in surrender mode

 

[The Count]

*Count leaves presents at Room 6, knowing they'll be away for Christmas, and thanking Kathy for the lovely gift she sent.

Me *headdesk*
UD: What's the matter now?
Me: Waiting for Erin to reply via PM... And the fact Ima having trouble filling that last spot for a haunter or creature whose name falls alphabetically between A-u-r and A-v.
UD: Have you thought of...
Me: Austin, as a classmate of ? Yeah, but all I get is either Max, Doc Hopper's Assistant—for whom I don't know what element to add to spookify him—or Stone Cold/Houston Texans mascot.
UD: Then how's...
Me: Automaton? Again, no proper spookifying element.
UD: Okay so who's...
Me: Only good half-idea was Autopsy Annie, but I don't know how to envision her, human or Muppet humanoid or otherwise.

*Sigh* All I can do is wait to hear from Erin. She's not disappointed me yet.

[The Count]

*Sees light eminating from beneath Room 7's door. Oooh, that means they're back home. *Gets a twinkle in his eyes, hoping this might mean a PM reply from Madame Roll as to the maaaster's latest consultation, deposited in her dispatch for careful consideration via bat-mail.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Erin: Hi, Ed - I'll fire off the first few responses in a bit - we've got a little emergency here. Someone get an icepack! (to Nora) If you can move it, it's not broken.
Nora: (clutching left wrist) Ow...
Scooter: Boy, the sidewalk down by the bookshop has so much ice on it you could skate on it.
Storyteller: It's a disgrace - the public works people should have had that salted and de-iced days ago. Where are those moss packs!
Beige: (returning with said moss packs) Here, your Royal Scribbler-ness. Now, Nora, if your wrist turns purple with yellow polka dots, it means...
Erin: (taking packs) That galloping tendonitis will set in, followed by general apathy. We know. Nora, just keep it propped up; I'll go get some painkillers.
Nora: I shouldn't have tried carrying those boxes of books out the front way...and now I can't do much of anything for the next week.
Scooter: Come on, Nora, you'll live...you should have seen what the Screaming Thing looked like after "Wheel in the Sky."

 

[The Count]

Oh nos! Nora with a broken wrist? Those aren't any fun. I remember when I had a broken ankle back in high school.
Anything we can do to help?
*Leaves phone number to call us if you need anything, along with milk and sweet maple glazed 20 cookies.
