Got our grocery shopping done today. The cats will eat for another week. LOL

Now sitting here with one eye on the computer and the other on Code Black. Really good show.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day...for me, just barely. LOL!

LOL! Sounds like we both made the same mistake and are paying for it. LOL
Hubby was out of town all weekend and I did a bit more cleaning than my back was happy with. It’s calming down but slowly.

Bum backs are the pits!

Nope, he didn’t bring back so much as a t-shirt. But he rarely does. I’m not sure if he even took his camera to get pix of the show.

Aww...sorry it was so muggy today. That kind of takes the starch outta ya petticoats. LOL! I guess that meeting means you have to go to bed at a “decent’’ hour tonight?

Glad the little one is a bit better. I love how kittens can get so much fun out of the tiniest bit of string or a feather. I like to watch these 5 invaders play together from inside the house. If I go out they all scatter.

Hope you get home in time to meet the screen guy! It’s so frustrating when a crash happens, and it always seems to happen at the most critical time of the day. Glad you got it all done. I was just about to post something and looked one more time. :)

Heck, muggy is a way of life here this time of year. Some days are muggier than others. It’ll take the starch out of everything so we don’t bother using it. LOL

Yep, gotta get up early tomorrow so it’ll be early-to-bed tonight. *sigh*

Suvi has a blast with anything and everything, and with nothing. I’ve gotten up to watch her closely and she’s chasing nothing at all. Invisible “toys”.

She’s been quiet tonight. She had diarrhea when I took her to the vet and he gave me some medicine for it. It must taste really nasty because she slobbers big time when dosed. Then she acts puny. I’m going to stop giving it to her for a couple of days to see if that helps get her appetite back up to snuff.

We did, for which we are very grateful! I hope you get more than sprinkles soon. It looked like your area was getting slammed the other day when we got ours!

The screen guy and I arrived at the same time. The top track has a problem, so he will replace it tomorrow night. The old window and sliding glass door are VERY old, so the track is a little warped...unsuitable for a brand new sliding screen door. LOL!

And I have internet. Don’t know if it has been down or not.
