But we’ll be at Dover, and, frankly, I don’t think FCD will be able to handle much walking and luggage haulage. Schedule is critical also - our flight departs Heathrow at 1635 so I’d want to be at the airport by 1400. Transfers from the ship are essentially door-to-door. I forgot to call the cruise line yesterday, but maybe I’ll remember today. I hope.
How many times a day do you visit her? Do you think she’s getting used to you yet? Ziva wasn’t one for scratching and hissing, but it took about 16 years before she’d let me pick her up… cats is weird.
Temp dropped into the upper 40s overnight, but I’d closed most windows and lowered the ones in the bedroom to a few inches open. Made for comfy sleeping. We might see 80° this afternoon.
Which reminds me - I need to call the HVAC guys - I noticed yesterday that the fan on our furnace could not be shut off except by the switch in the basement. Even with the thermostat set to Off, it kept running. I suspect it’s been that was since we had it serviced last month, but I can’t prove it - I’ve just noticed it lately. Anyway, they’re on my to-call list also. And the plumbers are coming today to do several fixes for us. Dunno what time, but they call when enroute.
Chikin sallit sounds good - I still have some grapes. Maybe this weekend I’ll make some up. FCD has been pretty obedient about what he eats, mostly, but he doesn’t seem to want to learn to make his own choices. It’s not all that hard, especially with the food diary, but he’ll either ask me if he can have this or that, or he’ll eat something then tell me. Sometimes he makes me crazy. But he has lost some weight and he’s been avoiding processed carbs, so there’s hope for his next Dr visit. I just wish he liked more fruits.
And huzzah! The guys fixing the road did the end of our driveway yesterday! No more big bump as we leave or return. And that’s all the news that’s fit to print (or all I remember.)
Happy Thursday!!
I’m sincerely happy to be back in an office most of the time, but it’s an adjustment; I appreciate being remote on Thursdays and Fridays. Especially after going to the office every day last week for training.
I’ll try them after dinner.
). Over the past 11 years, my rent has only gone up an average of 3.5% per year; quite reasonable. I’m pretty lucky. I’m also a very good tenant, which hopefully is a factor. Whenever the dog dies and it’s time to move, I know I’ll be looking at rents of 11%-30% more…so although there are things about this house that I’m tired of, I’m really in no hurry (and Bailey needs to stick around for a while longer)!
I still have Saturday night’s show penciled in; I’ll see how I feel that afternoon. And how the weather is: right now there are late-day storms in the forecast, and since going to that show will involve walking a few blocks in DC thunder/lightning might affect my decision.
