Howdy, radu! Didn’t see you sneak in here! LOL! I was on another tab watching an old tv show.

It’s a very quiet night everywhere tonight, it seems! Did you get any more rain today?

We went from heater this morning and 68 degrees, to AC this afternoon and nearly 90 degrees. My head spins!

Howdy, LUV!

I snuck in after the Survivor finale was over. LOL! Then it dawned on me I hadn’t played with the kittens all night and I went to do that. Boy, did they holler when they heard me enter the room! They wanted to play NOW.

Wow, that was a big temperature swing y’all had today! Been chilly here all day with rain on and off. Raining lightly right now. It’s supposed to warm back up tomorrow and we’ll have 80s through the weekend. We’ll have rain, too, and need it though it’ll put a damper on plans some folks have for the weekend.

I’ll bet they were definitely ready for some attention, even though flea removal might not be the most fun part! :)

Be happy y’all will have 80s and not 90s. Of course, with your humidity, it’ll pretty much even out. LOL!

No, they aren’t all that happy about the flea comb but once that’s done, I get them all out on the bed to play and they love that. I have to keep a close eye on them because they keep heading for the edge of the bed and they don’t need to fall off.

Yeah, that darn humidity makes it uncomfortable when the temps go up. They’re talking upper 80s Sat. with a high rain chance so it’ll be a good day to stay in and get a little housecleaning taken care of. :-)

Ugh! Housecleaning! That sounds like work! It’ll feel good to get it over with, though!

Actually I did mine this week...everything’s clean. Well, almost. The computer room. EEK! Hubby’s dungeon. It needs it, though. I have to really work myself up to that! LOL!

With all these cats, housecleaning is a constant. LOL! That’s ok, it gives me something to do and it’ll be comfortable in the house. And dry.
Doing a little each day keeps the place clean. I’ve been doing a little tonight.

Not much I can do with Hubby’s man cave but vacuum. The desk is piled high with clutter so I don’t bother to touch it. He wants it clean, he can do it himself. It’s the one room he’s allowed to do his hoarding in the house. Anything left lying around in any other rooms in the house goes into the trash and is burned.

Yuk! The heat is on around here....

This is what I get for living in the desert! LOL!
Oh, well...it'll cool down in a couple of days!
Meanwhile, the AC will be our best friend!
Hope all y'all are cool and collected!
