Awww... Tiny floofy squee!

Good morning!

I sorta slept in or got up late, depending on how you look at it.

The temp has dropped to 41° and I don’t know if that cold wind is still blowing or not. I’m not in the mood to find out.

I need a good night’s sleep, but that seems to be elusive for now. *sigh*

The shower has been had and next is the breathing treatment, and Oh. My. Heck! I just realized I sound like the late unlamented Igor! GAH! How many times does anyone have to endure my daily schedule??? NOOOOOOoooooooooooooo!
*face palm*

Good morning. I slept till 6:30, myself. It sounds as though someone is stirring upstairs now, so I can get dressed and start organizing the day’s paperwork.

I was going to try and go to the 1300 Sacrament Meeting, but decided to go to the 1100 and try to let the bishop know by text that I’ll be going to the earlier meeting. At least, that’s my plan, now. It is, as always, subject to change without notice. ;o]

In spite of yesterday’s unplanned events, I managed to get another scarf done. It seems to be helping with my overall feeling of “health” and has even helped to lower my BP. Well, that and the herbal BP meds. (I want to buy a bunch of this stuff before its gone, but can only afford four bottles a month. It’s $10 a pop on close-out, and I figure I could use another 10. At two per month, that will last me until almost Christmas with what I have.)

Everything new!

Congratulations on the scarf! I’m still working on the picture of the Sumerian goddess. It has a lot of palm trees in it, and I’m trying not to make them all the same shade of green.

DP is trying to get some people ready to go to Mass at 9:00, and I’ll go at 1:00, which will coincide with picking up Pat, James, and Vlad on return from their campout.

Morning!
My majestic fluff butt decided that her whiskers needed to be in my eye sockets today.
Still sick with flu, I had no choice but to get up.

Hiya, Darks!

Sorry to hear you’re sick, but you know, that’s no excuse when the Feline Overlords call.

I have shoo’ed some people off to church. Now I’m going on a quest for a missing First Communion workbook.

She just wants to make sure you’re alive. You’re no good to her in the reclining position with your eyes closed! I mean, how can you feed her??

Wow. It’s 35° and 48% humidity on my patio. No wind that I could discern, but sitting with Charlie may not last too long this morning.

I’m out of coffee, filters and creamer, so I will have to see if I have some tea or cider, because I’m certainly not going to sit out there with nothing warm to drink!

She was checking to see if I was hurt enough for her to take me down.

Haven’t seen anything threadwise lately, but I’ve been busy, then got sick.
So.. ugh.

We started out using troll threads, but those are few and far between these days, so we "borrow" them from other FReepers.

You know, I just realized that... when was the last time we had a good, healthy ZOT?

Maybe when the midterm elections heat up we'll get a few trolls to munch on.

My backyard is suddenly overrun with kittehs!

I count three cats who visit regularly; one is a small tuxedo cat I've dubbed "Tux". He stops by to lounge in my backyard, grab a quick meal, and watch the birds. He used to run when he saw me, but now he watches me from a distance and doesn't take off when I come into the backyard. He's probably being fed by ten different households.

One is a beautiful, big, black cat with green eyes. He doesn't want food, he just wants to rub all over me and come in the house. He belongs to somebody.

The latest one is a dark gray, very skittish, with a big mouth. I hear him yowling at night.

I worry about them with all the coyotes about, but hopefully they'll stick to backyards and not go wandering in the desert areas.

Congratulations! If you put food out, you’ll soon have six, and then nine, and then 18 ...

We used to get visiting cats often, when the Crazy Cat Lady lived across the street, but the new people don’t seem to have a cat.

I don’t recall when we had a troll thread last, but maybe six or seven years ago. The mods are just too quick!

From the looks of FB, the Dims are beginning to foam at the mouth because they can’t control Trump, so I’m thinking you may be right about the midterm elections. ;o]

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some popcorn!!
