Fried brain
It seems that not enough has happened this past week so The Curmudgeon had to go overboard. He didn’t tell me he fell again the other day and smashed his ribs into the side board of his bed. Well, he did. Yep, looks like he cracked a couple of ribs again. Worse thing is he’s come down with a bit of a cough with it. Uh huh, that hurts.
His moans and groans are epic and I swear Gavin mimics him once in a while to garner attention. Thank goodness for bedtime around here, a time where I get a little break in the chaos, unless The Curmudgeon can’t fall to sleep, then the chaos continues.
I long for a day of silence. Not complete ear ringing silence, but the silence you find at a beach when you are the only one there, or in the woods in the early evening.
I don’t want a running commentary of what is playing on TV. I am in the same room and trying to do something not pertaining to the TV. Please don’t tell me about that stupid commercial for the four hundred and thirty-seventh time.
By the end of the day my brain is fried into a crispy non-functioning pile of cells. You all have a good day.
Oops! Poor kitty.
Last night I was in the basement getting ready to load the washer when I heard a cat yowling. We don’t have a cat. They do have an inside cat next door. The sound was not coming from their cellar though, it was coming from outside. Felix never goes outside…wait, yes he does. He will go out once in a while with them and usually doesn’t leave the back porch steps.
“Felix is that you?”
“Meow!”
“Did you get left outside?”
“Meow.”
“Hold on a minute. I’ll let them know.”
“Meow meow meow MEOW!”
“I know it’s raining. I’m hurrying.”
It was nice and warm in the late afternoon and early evening. I’m betting he slipped out when they had the dogs out last and they didn’t notice him. He is a black cat after all and practically invisible in the dark. He’s now inside and happy.
Are we heading to swamp yard 2014?
Had a delightful day yesterday even with the rain. G and I went out to lunch at Lily Sushi and Grill http://www.lilysushigrill.com/ and then shopping at Target. We didn’t buy much, but as usual I spent more than she did. LOL!
I hope the two days of rain we’re in for don’t make our yard a complete swamp, because the weather for a few days after that is looking wonderful. I’d love to get out in the yard and work a bit.
Patty thought she’d melt and it was merely a drizzle. We had to push her out the door every time. Gavin doesn’t care, his philosophy is: When you’ve got to pee you’ve got to pee.
At least it’s NOT this.
Have you ever…
Had a sneezing fit so bad you thought your head would explode?
Tripped over your own feet in public and pretended you meant to do it?
Walked into a wall?
Stepped into a hole and sprained an ankle?
Felt you had to apologize to someone for your dog’s over enthusiastic welcome?
Today was klutz day here. Can you tell?
Teetering on the edge
That’s me, teetering on the edge of sanity and 59. In a couple of weeks I’ll be over the edge and hit 60. OMG! 60! I never imagined hitting 60. Seems as though, after this winter, I won’t exactly hit 60 as much as it will hit me.
Just took the dog’s outside and it is a mere nine degrees. About takes your breath away out there. The forecast says it will drop to 3 degrees before morning.
I really need Spring to hurry up and get here before I lose the few threads of sanity holding me here. I want to get out of the house, go for walks, go fishing, work on my garden, play in the dirt and get my sanity back on track. This winter was far too long and too brutal.
Do you see it?
There is a stray cat around here. Yesterday it was enjoying a long snooze in a sunny spot on the roof of the building across from us. It sure is a pretty cat. Nicest shade of red I’ve ever seen on a cat.
If my dogs liked cats, I’d be inviting this one in for sure.
You all have a good one and stay warm.
Fun? Not yet.
I pity the pups. They are as sick of the snow-covered ground as we are. Neither one wants to go outside for more than a minute or two.
Looks like we’re supposed to get snow today and Friday night. Here’s the forecast for today.
WE ARE EXPECTING A LIGHT SNOWFALL EVENT TO OCCUR COINCIDENT WITH THE MORNING COMMUTE TOMORROW. GENERALLY AROUND AN INCH SHOULD FALL ACROSS THE NON-ADVISORY AREAS AND COULD GREATLY IMPACT THE MORNING COMMUTE AS THE SNOW WILL BEGIN TO STICK INSTANTLY TO ALL UNTREATED SURFACES. THE SNOW SHOULD END RELATIVELY QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST LATE TOMORROW MORNING.
IF YOU WILL BE DRIVING TOMORROW MORNING, BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND REDUCED VISIBILITY. BE SURE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE AND THE ONE AHEAD OF YOU.
Oh fun…NOT.
Cabin fever cure…get out of the damned house!
Yes, I actually got out of the house today! G and I went to a nearby mall for lunch and some retail therapy. We stayed there for hours, wandering through every store. I almost cried when we found my favorite store was gone. Coldwater Creek is no longer in that mall, we have to travel over South Mountain to another more distant mall to find one. They are the only ones that have jeans that fit me right.
I should never go near stores. I spent more than she did. Again. Came home with bejeweled flip-flops and cute shoes for the conference in May.
We both feel better having gone out and away from home.
You all have a good one!
Uneffing believable…more effing snow.
I think I’ll quit reading weather forecasts and stay ignorant of what is to come. Tonight the forecast is snow and 27 degrees. Monday a high of 32 degrees followed by more snow and colder on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Yeah, I vote that I stop looking at them. Especially since both skelemingoes are finally visible in the garden under the tulip poplar.
Here’s one today.
Here’s the same one a few days ago.
