Rainy day here.
I tried to sit outside with the brats but it’s a bit chilly.
Got the groceries in before the rain started.
Finally got Ripple’s pills picked up, so he got to go to the store and to the vet’s office.
I still need to go through the meats and decide what to freeze and what to cook now.
It’s been a very lazy day.
I took a nap, irking now but only for a few hour, and I haven’t done much else.
I have a lot to do but no energy or motivation.
Just got in from the dog park. It was Copper’s first time and she liked getting off leash and walking around smelling things. Nelson, as usual, played tag with the other puppers.
I decided that it was too damn hot to cook today, so I had a vanilla cone for lunch and some leftover slaw, cold smoked salmon and crackers for supper with fresh cherries for dessert.
It sprinkled a little on the way to work. I walked Gordie after work. We have a small dog park at the complex, but Gordie doesn’t want to be off lease in it. Guess The Invisible Mole People will drag me under, if we’re not attached. Drinking a Breakfast Dubbel(It’s 5A.M. somewhere?;)) Pondering dinner menu.
She ran away…
with my best friend Ray…
Now I’m drinking Beast
In the summer heat
on her unwanted love seat…
It’s a good title, sure, but the best is still Kitty Well’s song I Gave My Wedding Dress Away.
When I was growing up and heard itI thought it was so sad and sentimental, then, when I was grown, I wanted to tell that woman “Dang girl, you had a narrow escape from being married to a jerk!”
I think it made it all the way up to 70 today, not really chilly but the cool breeze made it a bit uncomfortable to sit out back. I suppose I could have put a hoody on, but if I was going to come in for the hoody I was just going to stay in.
My mother hasn’t dressed me in years and hates the way I dress. She does buy me clothes, but she always buys me nice clothes, with sequins and sparkles that make me feel guilty. They are too nice to wear around the house and I very seldom go anywhere where I have to wear more than a t-shirt and shorts.
She also detests my long hair.
Of course as much as she hates my long hair, she really hates Sah-son’s long hair. She hated it when it covered his ears, now that it is halfway down his back… At least she doesn’t say anything anymore.
No rain here today, so I got the entire lawn mowed this evening, so one more thing I don’t have to worry about tomorrow.
Helped with the soccer registration, most of the registration is done on-line so I was the uniform distributor. Don’t think I guessed right on sizes more than once or twice, but we got it done. There was an adult soccer tournament running on the fields and I doubled as a provider of water and gatorade and snacks (for a modest fee). Kept me busy for 3 hours.
Sari, I’d love to see 70F during the day again; probably won’t before October/November.
May nibble a bit, ate my big meal about 2:30PM so not really that hungry but want to get something before tomorrow morning.
For the first time since they moved in, Roxy woke me up with her crying - around 4:30. I messed around with games on my tablet till I heard Higgs barking about an hour later, and I decided to get up. Critters have been tended to and cat box has been scooped. Go me! We’re going to go look and, and possibly buy, a desk this afternoon. Beyond that, I have no plans.
Slight scare (sorta) this morning. When I was letting Higgs in, I saw what looked like a big ol’ horked-up hairball on the dining room table. Turns out it was a couple of gears that **FCD **left there, and in the shadowy, semi-dark it looked disgusting. But if I’d thought about it, I’d have realized that Ziva doesn’t have enough hair to build a good hairball! She’s still sporting the lion cut.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 74 Amurrkin out and partly cloudy (dark, actually) with a predicted high of 92 and partly cloudy (could that also mean mostly N.O.S.?) for the day. No rain predicted. We had quite the toadsoaker yestiddy and again last night. TWPTB say rain will move back in on Tuesday. We shall see. The big item on the agenda today is deheathenization. OYKW said last night he didn’t think he would go today so I shall go at nine a.m. and deheathenate Luterun style. Any need to feed today will be done via forage.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, purtification for deheathenization must commence.
It rained all night, and is a bit chilly again this morning.
I woke up too early, around 4ish, damn bladder, but I’m up, the dog’s been out, and the dishwasher is humming.
Today is clean out the fridge day, I have two peppers in there that went bad before I could use them. I’ll throw them in the trash before we take it out. I put all the meat in the freezer last night except for two pounds of ground beef that I’ll use today and tomorrow.
I have some phone calls to make today, Friend1 called yesterday and I had to hang up but told her I’d call her right back. She said she needed my help with something. I call her back and she didn’t answer, as usual. She is the most scattered person I know. I couldn’t tell you how many times we will be talking and she will set the phone down and walk away still talking to me. Half the time she can’t find her phones, both the house and cell phone. Then again she is always losing her keys, her purse, money.
I haven’t talked to Friend2 for a while and we need to catch up. One of my cousins called Firday and I still haven’t called him back.
I have a lot to do so why am I hanging out here wasting time?
All y’all are not a waste of time. Chatter is a waste of time when there are clothes to be washed, and dog hair is collecting in the corners, and there are boxes that need to be cut up, and clean laundry is piled on the bed, and I should be irking and making money. The bills aren’t going to pay themselves you know.
The dog is sitting on my feet wanting scritches, and he wants two handed scritches, not one hand typing on the kb scritches.
I dunno, **sari **- that sounds like back-pedaling to me…
**FCD **got up and brought me a breakfast sammich from WaWa. Now that it has been ingested, I think I’ll hit the shower and dress in appropriate-for-going-in-public clothes. Since I don’t plan to stop at WalMart, robe and slippers won’t do it.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off today. It’s raining, so it’s unlikely Princess Pretty Paws takes a long walk in the A.M. It’s an hour till the German Grand Prx starts.
She may need Sarah Saunders to spin her out of this one.
sari, with temps like that, I have to assume that you live in the mountainous area of Maryland. As for your mom dressing you, I’ve never cottoned to sequins and rhinestones on any clothing that isn’t formal wear that gets professionally cleaned.
Up, caffeinating, breakfasted and the pooches walked. I’m fixing to fold and put away the towels that are still in the dryer from yesterday after KP. Other than that, it’s the usual Sunday chores.
