Didn't make shortbread.  Work is nuts.  Up all night hearing those creatures in the crawl space chewing on whatever they're chewing on.  Mr. Dallymo went out to get some rat poison and also brought home some lemon cookies, so on the one hand I'm happy about the prospect of those bastards being done in and also happy about the prospect of eating lemon cookies, but on the other hand Arsenic and Old Lace.
