I had bookmarked our county health dept’s COVID appt site - they said there would be appointments for next week starting at 4 this afternoon. At 4:05, I nabbed the last remaining morning appointment for FCD for the J&J vaccine. I don’t know how many were available for the other 2 brands. Getting just one shot simplifies our lives, especially since we’ll need to go to FL in a few weeks for MIL’s surgery - now we don’t have to worry about when he could get the second shot. So WHEW!
I’m doing a couple of loads of laundry tonight so I don’t have to mess with it tomorrow. We’ll be heading to Daughter’s place around noon to help them out for a few hours. I want to run by Lowe’s to get the cow manure compost so I can get it in the new bed on Moanday, since it’s supposed to rain/snow on Tuesday. That means my next chance to relax will be Tuesday.
Supper was some pulled poke and a big salad. Dessert was a pretzel log. Cheesecake would be better, but I didn’t have any. Alas.
I think I’m going to turn off this machine and assume the recline position with my tablet.
Howdy Y’all! I said I would sloth all day, but instead I accomplished mowage. Go Me! I gave in to peer pressure. The neighbors on either side mowed yestiddy. Can’t be seen as the neighborhood slacker, now can I? Anywho, I did that, showered, and then achieved nappage. Sup has now been et and all the clocks that need to be have been set forth one hour. Rah.
No more Second Sort on Saturday. Poo, I enjoyed getting OT> So I did laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and bathroom. then napped. Having a negroni for cocktail hour.
Well, managed to put on (reasonably) clean clothes and go forth to Cracker Barrel for dinner, which is nicely digesting as I type. That about exhausted any reserves I had so any e-mails will wait until tomorrow.
Couple of nice surprises; in my mailbox was a check from the FTC, I apparently was involved in a mass credit card/identity theft case and I’ve gotten a couple of other checks over the years, but they most have squeezed some more out of them, because I got a check for the munificent sum of…$17.17. Ah well, it’ll pay for dinner. And one of my wall clocks has updated to Daylight Savings time already, so that’s one ladder I won’t have to climb.
Haven’t mowed yet, swampy, might make it to April before I have to (but I doubt it).
OK, need to concentrate on not falling asleep for a couple hours more. All y’all take care.
Tonka got some fish flesh, but mostly he got skin. After we ate, I put about half the remaining skin on his gooshy-food plate. He started in on that, and I put the other half of the skin on Goo’s plate. And this is just an hour after they had their gooshy food.
I had to look pretzel logs up Moooooom. They would be good on ice cream.
I made an Aldi stop, came home and put the groceries away and headed to Mount Juliet for my Marketplace buy. I swung through the huuuuuuuuge Kroger in that part of town and remembered why I didn’t shop there more often. Parking there, while not quite as sucky as the Smyrna Kroger, still sucks. Combined with a verrrrrrry large store and it took forever. I’ll stick with the little Kroger in Lavergne, where I can always get a good parking slot, thank you.
I got the email notifying me that my vaccine status had opened up, but I’m still trying to find an open appointment within 50 miles before May. Oy!
There’s a snowy mixture falling out of the sky. I hope the daffodils and tulips, etc. don’t die off because of the cold weather. Guess I took a chance putting my winter coat, scarf and hat away.
At least I don’t have to go anywhere except the store for the next 2 weeks, and even there the only place I’m going is the doctor’s office which is basically across the street.
Unless they decide on Friday to open up. Which would be silly as Italy’s closing down starting tomorrow.
Yesterday was a day of sloth so today’s scheduled to be a bit more productive. Or take a nap. Might do both!
Tis another irky irk day today. Sundays are usually dead quiet- I expect I’ll have done everything on the system by 1pm, and I’m supposed to be on until at least 5, and basically none of the clients do Sundays, so there’s unlikely to be more appearing. Oh well, at least irking from home I can have my laptop set up as well, for sneaky internet messing about, when there really is nothin’ to do.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN I went to bed earlyish last night and felt good upon wakeage, So far, so good. 'Tis 57 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 85 and partly to mostly N.O.S. for the day. I’ll take it! The plan of the day is to deheathenate (I am the non-cannibal kind of Lector for both services) followed by N.O.L. at Sonny’s BBQ. YUM! Beyond that I foresee nappage and general sloth for the balance of the day.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, purtification for deheathenization must commence.
Incidentally, red, we get our pretzel logs (rods?) from Aldi. They’re a favorite snack of our favorite toddler.
I was up late and woke a few times during the night, then gave up and got up at 6:30-ish (former 5:30-ish) just because. FCD really likes Perkins N.O.T. pancakes so I pulled the frozen hash browns out last night to thaw, and when he wakes up, I’m going to make him some for breakfast/brunch.
We need to put a few more things in the truck, then leave around 11:30. We’ll help daughter and SIL for a few hours this afternoon, have some soup with them, then come home and crash. I laundered 2 loads of jeans last night - all that’s left are towels which I may or may not toss in the washer today. For now, I’m caffeinating and thinking I should eat something because who knows when a certain slug will drag himself out of bed, and if I don’t eat fairly soon after rising, I get a terrible headache. Maybe a piece of toast?
It’s currently below freezing, but we’re promised low 60s today. C’mon sun!!
Morning, mumpers! It’s not a bad day out there, which is good as I have some out and abouting to do later. The weather app is feeling quite minimalist today and only wants to say “Sun, fucking meh” and promises me 8C/46F up to 9C/48F and mostly sunny. Odd really, since it’s mostly cloudy out there.
Plans for today don’t involve much, I need to pick up a couple of bags of dry cat food for fostermog that the lady at the cat rescue place ordered for him. Also need to go to the pet shop for a big box of wet food as he’s eating me out of house and home! As I’ll be out in the car, I’ll use it as an excuse to go and find the place I need to be at tomorrow for my plague shot. Exercise class later today, I think, and that’s about all.
'im indoors is vacuuming the floors today, it must be going well as I can hear him cursing at just about everything. Apparently the vacuum has a mind of its own and is not playing fair.
Not a fan of daylight savings time. Spent most of the night trying to convince my brain’s sleep enter to fall asleep. It wasn’t buying it. We’re also having a big weather shift back to winter after almost two weeks of spring-is-here. Just gusty winds, thunder and lightning, with accompanying damp, raw chills. I like storms but it makes my kitties squirrelly and unsettled.
Today is Sunday so I’m off to spend the day with granddaughter Harriet. Likely she’ll be unsettled too, with the time change. The weather is unlikely to let us play outside so Grandma will have to figure out how to let her get her ya-yas out inside. It will probably involve reading library books on the iPad or Franklin the Turtle YouTube videos. Grandma allows more screen time than Mom and Dad (Mom and Dad know this-it’s expected).
Time to swampy-style purtify and don apparel. One more cup of coffee might be required, pretty sure of it.
BBBoo - I got something similar to this for RoxStar - it’s great for burning off excess energy when you can’t get outside. Of course, when she gets too daring, I burn off excess energy standing by to catch her!
The pancakes were pretty good, but the recipe makes enough for 16, so next time, I’ll halve it. Meanwhile, there’s plenty in the fridge for a few more breakfasts. And FYI - if you make it with skim milk and non-calorie sugar substitute, it’s about 85 calories for a pancake made with 1/4 cup of batter… in case you were wondering.
FCD is futzing with the blower and the chain saw. I’ve got a load of towels in the washer. Until they come out of the dryer to be folded, I’ve got nothing to do. Woe is me…
