Happy MetalMouse Day!!!
Otis has been sprung from his crate and been fed. He’s gnawing on one of his non-me chew toys. FCD is still abed, which is good - he doesn’t sleep nearly long enough. Dare I hope that he’s willing to put off boat work till tomorrow?? Dare I???
No idea what y’all are going on about upthread.
32F and sunny this morning, but will be 80 by Wednesday.
My grandson’s concert was very good yesterday. Those are some very talented kids. The string ensemble’s first violin looked to be about 10 years old! Anyway, his group kicked off with The Imperial March from Star Wars and nailed it. I enjoyed the whole thing, but it was very tiring for my old bones and I’m feeling it this morning.
We have to do laundry today. We’re five days overdue and I’m about out of underwear. TMI? Also need to get some shopping done. But for now, breakfast awaits my efforts.
Happy Birthday, MetalMouse!
Goo seems better today. She was eating kibble when I got up. I finished the last piece of pot roast and the last ¼ potato for breakfast, and she begged. Nope. I got her uneaten gooshy food out of the fridge, be we haven’t given it to her yet. The uneaten gooshy food in the other cats’ dishes was gone. I suspect she at the residue in the night. Catmom is still taking her to the vet today.
Good morning everyone. The Trio walked this cool morning. The weather app said 44º, so I had to dig my warmer coat out of the closet. Unfortunately, I had already cleared out the pockets, but Mrs Magill had me covered when my nose got runny. It’s cool down in my office, so I get to wear my Not Leaving the House pants. Mrs Magill joked last week that I rock the late nineties leggings and long t-shirt look.
Bless her - she really is a trooper with all this. I’d say I don’t know where I’d be without her, but I have a pretty good idea.
Anyhow, while Doggio and Lily are enjoying 4/20, I’ll be over here on the couch, eating a pound of cheese and peanut butter… Why is everyone staring at me?[1]
Squeaky is seventeen next month. He’s smart, so he may know, but he is also very unobservant, which is a common trait among the males in this family.
Tell me about it.
When my mother began to get really ill, she had to spend about two months in a care facility. She hated it nearly as much as she hated UNC. Once she was moving on her own again, my father moved their bedroom to the living room[2] so she wouldn’t have to navigate the stairs. My father had gotten her a stair lift, but there was no way in hell the she was going to let that mar her beautiful staircase.
Now there’s a trifecta. Plus Happy Birthday, Metal Mouse!
a cold morning for philly. the 40-50 degree drop (from high 80-low 90 to high 30 to low 40) was achieved without severe weather. we had cloudy and some rain as the temp.s dropped.
happy metalmouse day!
sticks and scones, it is very intense when you are in the middle of it. battles with insurance are so very frustrating.
another full week at the office and condo, then double booked on saturday. green committee meeting on tues, with earthday stuff saturday afternoon. on saturday morning there is an armenian dedication at the art museum. The Armenian Heritage Walk at the Philadelphia Museum of Art it is across the street from our building so i will pop out for a brief bit. i’m gonna need restorative chair and cat time.
Good morning.
It’s 50F and partly sunny. There may be a rain shower or two this morning, but the afternoon calls for mostly cloudy skies and a daytime high of 72F.
Happy Birthday, Metal Mouse!
Good to see you, Sticky Buns. I hope the reprieve is long enough to allow a full recovery for your mother.
There isn’t much going on 'round these parts. I may or may not do some yard work. I should do some laundry, though.
Alrighty, time to finish that coffee and get the day started. You all take care of yourselves.
I also have no idea what 4/20 is although I suspect it has something to do with…. dope.
I feel like a sinus infection is brewing. I am not amused.
Willie’s is the 29th, same as my dog Nelson’s.
Happy birthday metal mouse! 
Up, caffeinating, breakfasted and fixing to do KP. I have a couple of phone calls to make today and I think I’ll put on a pot of vegetable broth, but otherwise, RDOS.
Stay safe and healthy y’all!
Good mornihg again. Sending Good vibes for kitty. Hooray for ribs. Fingers crossed for Mom. Sorry for bad dreams.
I’m not much drawn to altering my state. My lovely wife says I have “brain privilege.”
Today holds more lemon Jell-o, a few errands and tasks, and more lemon Jell-o. It will conclude with an antibacterial shower and sleeping alone and cat-free on fresh bedding.
Hey, I’m at the boat… surprise!
I just finished putting down the ventilation tiles for under the mattress. We don’t need a mildewy bunk. And I ordered mor for the bunk the Otis will use, because someone spoils his dog. Amd once I’m needed, I’ll help with plumbing.
Good times.
Hanging with the Shiz.
They’re starting to grok that dry food could be left in the bowl and eaten later. They now weigh 9# each. I’m expecting gain to slow down now that they’re over 6 months old, and guess they’ll settle at 12-15#.
Double post in honor of 4/20.
