I've hoping for those all my life! No kidding!
Kitteh sez, mai straw fings! You no touch!
Good morning.
I think. I slept fairly well last night, and didn’t want to get up but I got cold. Par for the course, it would seem.
Today is supposed to be about 63° and that would be nice for a change. Especially if there is no wind. ;o]
How are the Tax-chicklets and the Other Adult this morning?
I might have stayed in bed a little long, but Jake had other plans. Everyone else is still in bed, but I assume they’re fine, rather than dead.
I don’t know what the day has in store, other than cats.
Catz are good ways to spend days.
I think about it...especially since I know I won’t be moving again, once I get settled. Maybe a middle-aged cat.
I could ship you Jake in a box!
I did that once! My Favorite Son was in Tucson and I was in Vegas and he wanted his cat. I got the necessary travel papers and carrier, took the cat to the airport and sent him flying.
I don’t know what happened after that, but I do know that my son was happy to have his little buddy.
Jake would hate it so much!
Jake doesn’t like being caged up so he’d probably have to be tranquilized to make a flight.
*tagline*
Cute tagline!
Frank has turned up. Maybe the rest of them died.
Sleep helps the body to heal. Unless it’s being done by teenagers and then it’s attributed to hormones.
I just got off the phone with my Favorite Son, and he’s excited for all the things that are happening. He’s excited, and that helps to make things a little easier.
I’m glad your son is excited!
Everyone has turned up except Vlad. DP ordered some crickets from PetsMart and is going to pick them up. I said I would do the pickup if he wanted, since I’m much less sick than he is (I’d be much less sick than a man if we both had the Black Death, sigh), but he feels the urge to get out much more than I do.
After lunch, I’ll put on all my warm clothes and go out in the sunshine for a while.
Reading about DP wanting to get outside made me almost say that sunshine is good for healing, so when I read your next paragraph, my thought was, “A nap in the sun is just what the doctor ordered!”
I put together the Cuban Picadillo recipe, but somehow, my eyes missed the “paprika,” even though I read the recipe yesterday and typed in the word. So I’ll have to make it again, after I get some paprika.
So, I’ll treat myself to some of the Cuban dish in a bit. I need to cook up some rice, then I’ll take some over to Rocky and share. Maybe she’ll like it. I just took a small taste, and it really is quite good!
It’s getting cloudy now, so maybe I won’t go outside after all. My phone says it’s 43 degrees outside, which isn’t encouraging.
I’m reading a book that I’m discussing with some other people from church (on Zoom), and the author is “Just like you, only prettier!” and she’s getting me to feel terrible about myself. Some of the other participants in the discussion really like her, so maybe they’re prettier, too.
I think I’ll feel better if I put it up. It’s giving me a sinus headache.
Oh, Vlad finally turned up, after I sent James to find out if he had died. They’re just teenagers: nothing is as much of a thrill as sleeping all morning.
I don’t think I’d want to read any book by an author that was just like me, “only prettier.” That sounds like a losing proposition, all the way around.
It’s 48° and windy, and a bit on the hazy side, so I don’t think I’ll be going out. I could write a letter or two. I transferred the contents of the top drawer in the file into a plastic file box, but I’ll have to go through it, since this is January, and weed out everything from January 1 to June 30, and then I can sort through the other files I have.
I’ve decided I hate having things in so many places, and have been toying with the idea of a longer makeshift desk using two files and a door, or something close to it, like two planks, and a small bookcase. It would solve several problems at the same time, but I’ll still need to think about it.
I cried for an hour. Now my nose feels like a large shoe, but I’m emotionally restabilized.
I wouldn’t do any new furniture things when you’re planning to move!
I’m so sorry you cried! Maybe, with your immune system compromised with the flu, you needed the cry as much to purge your body of toxins as well as to give yourself some self-love. We need it, and there are times when we need it more than others. You’ll be OK!
I’ve always had a tendency to make long-range space-saving plans when I’m preparing for a move, and I have no idea why. Even a move from one apartment to another in the same complex will do that to me. I’ve been that way since my Favorite Son was a toddling short person.
It doesn’t mean it will happen any time soon, just that I’ll need to give it more thought and then, once I get settled, I’ll give it even more thought.
I didn’t tell you that in talking to my Favorite Son this morning, he told me not to even think of moving to Lonoke, and he has never heard of Hughes, but thought it would be a bad idea, considering the medical situation. So Cabot it is. He even said he was going to suggest the place there because he passes it every time he goes to his storage unit.
The rest of the thing will work out as it works out.
I’m glad you got some useful information about the area.
I believe a person’s entitled to a meltdown occasionally. Then you pick yourself up and get back on the job.
