Good Night...

Good Night...

It's been a beautiful day here today.
Sunny and warm, 70 degrees.
Did a few little things in the garden.
Twinkles and Scooter both spent a lot of time outside.
Twinkles is still out there.
Scooter was very good.
Played with grasshoppers in the garden area. Didn't look for fights, kill anybody or jump the fence.
He's very tired now and inside sleeping on the couch.
I cleaned and tidied up a little in the house.

Good Morning Everybody

Slept in this morning. 🙂
Have a short list of things needing done today but nothing strenuous.

Good Afternoon Everybody

Hi Tatoulia
Always good to put on fresh sheets after being in bed longer than usual.
Next time you get in bed it will be so fresh. 😀

Kitty and Mom are true night owls!

Went outside and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!
Watered lilac bushes and garden.
Got out the clippers and cut down the overly tall cat mint (catnip).
That stuff just keeps growing, even keeps fresh green leaves under the fallen leaves/snow all Winter.
Jack helped me until he got too bored.

Also straightened out my yard/garden things I keep stored in the pumphouse.
Rolled up one hose.
Emptied my Sprayer, no bugs/aphids to spray now.
Caught a big green grasshopper and gave it to Scooter.
He could not come outside because he would pick a fight with Jack.
3:00pm now and I am thinking about making some French toast.

Glad you had fun at the dinner party.
Have a wonderful time this weekend.
If you can't get the lesson plans completed this weekend due to your glasses then next weekend you will with new ones. 🙂

I have a pair of glasses for up close/reading and a pair for distance/driving and the most hated pair of bifocals that I would only wear if something happened to either of my other glasses.

This week the temps will be just above freezing over night and high 60s to 70 degrees during the day.
So, this week I will water one last time and also winterize the faucet and last two windows.
While the sun is shining I will warm the hoses to make them easier to roll up to store away.

Washed my clothes last evening and they are hanging in my room to dry.
Will put them away soon as I finish my tea.

Twinkles is still asleep in his bed on the rocking chair.
Scooter is still cuddling in my bed.

I love the image of the cats sleeping, Tillie. Today I stopped by mom's and was able to discern a tail and a foot, curled up in a special spot. Apparently the two of them watched tv til 4AM!

I met a friend for breakfast then I went to mom's to change out the litter box. I visited with BF then took a short walk. I've stripped my bed. I slept so much Thursday night and Friday day and night that I think I need to change the sheets. I'll still have the cleaners do it on Wednesday.

I'll do a load or two of laundry before heading out. Fall day here, which is nice

SubC how awful to break your glasses. I'm bet you have headaches and feel a bit disoriented. This time I bought two day fine pair, and one is considered unbreakable so I wear
them in bed. I actually managed to chip a lens when I stood on them but the frames are fine. They are called ic! Berlin and I'm happy to have them. I've never really had two pair at the same time before and I love it. I do need to go to the optician and have her fix my unbreakable ones.

Cm I am glad you weren't in an accident but what a shame regarding more car expenses. Good that your roommate is willing and able to help you out.

I am much improved today. I ended up going to sleep around 2 PM. even though I'm salaried, I'll make up the time this weekend so I don't have to use a PTO half day.

I will go put clean sheets on the bed and start doing other things to put my house back together.

Sorry about that mishap Subclinical.
Have fun tonight.
Relax and get rid of that headache.

Hi CriticalMass
Very relieved you now have proper brakes and that you were able to gather up the funds to pay for them.

You have many interests and need the creative outlets.
It's because of limited space that you can't do many of them easily.
Lets get storage organized where you can put in and easily get back out the things you need to be creative with.
This way your home spaces will be more opened up where you can create. 🙂

This would need to be "like with like" in easily carried storage solutions.
Wish I was there to help you.

Badger wants a feta and cucumber sandwich. ;p

I covered the ancient cracked splintery and breezy wooden back door with plastic.
Already noticeably less air flow through the rattily panels.

The headache is from reading with the back up glasses.

I can't keep up with everything going on here right now.

I survived the dinner party (ok, it was fun)

So much to do at home today, dd2 is coming down and we are going to a big local festival with both girls and dsil tonight.

Tomorrow dsil and I are going to the renfest.

Monday I get new glasses.

My fence is a disaster.

My house is a disaster.

There are many projects I want very badly to work on.

And I need to get all of my lesson plans done ahead again, because that was good.

Tillie, so sorry about the power situation for you and all others affected. I pray no one comes to harm with it, but it's no small hardship at best.

My van has her new brakes and rotors. Just the front. I paid what I could and my roommate will lend me the rest. I was just getting my past debts to her almost paid down, sigh...

However, my mechanic said he was sorry, he meant to look at the brakes sooner (he's had a year of health problems and family crises). Basically said they could've failed spectacularly anytime, and I might've been in a really bad accident. Even one without injuries/fatalities that just rendered the van non-driveable would be terrible enough.

So considering that is helping me be grateful.

It turned cold here night before last. Not as bad today as yesterday. Luckily there was no hard freeze; my roommate's and my outdoor flowers are okay. She was feeling depressed at the prospect of losing them suddenly. It's hard on her when the days get short and she has to go to work in the dark to a windowless place, doesn't even get time to go outdoors for lunch some days, then has to drive home in the dark.

The household has been its usual never a dull moment. Dog woke us up 3:30 a.m. when he vomited. I was awake till 5:00 and even afterwards dreams ruined my sleep. And I guess not to be outdone, the boy kitty had left a hairball; I didn't see it. Ack.

Yet I have more energy than I would've thought. I may crash later. But I started back to work on my disaster bedroom. It's going to take a few more days, and I believe I need to return about half my Barbies here to storage. They do have a place there already, though.

When I do return to sleeping in my bedroom it will feel strange. My allergies let up but my roommate's haven't. Sometimes she opts to sleep on the couch if she's congested. So I'm cognizant that at some point I may need to yield it. And if so, the dog will sleep with her, and it will have hair and dog smell. (When I sit there, if I get to, I put a sheet over their sheets during those times.)

There are three places in the living room to sit for TV, two of which are upright chairs that I get squirmy in, and they are too accessible to the dog. The couch is easier to block him from because of other furniture. I hope we don't have to switch.

I know this all sounds so First World Problems. Enough about it.

I am pleased that I'm getting my art supplies gathered, cleaned, and stored accessibly in my room. Some of them I had taken back to the family room two or three years ago because I certainly can't paint in my bedroom. Then crises kept me from finishing the painting. I'm going to try again to make it work.

Also, the place where I attempted to paint is also the same spot where I try to sew. It's supposed to be shared workspace. Plus it's currently cluttered. Sigh again for the unfinished sewing. The clutter is being dealt with, though. I found a better sewing box, and some other steps to be taken for a neat way to stow quilt rulers, equipment, etc. is in the works.

Still, it's a lot of interests I juggle, and I know that complicates things, but they're like my children, I love them and don't want to get rid of any! I've never been able to specialize and have a narrow focus - and my creative things energize each other.

Well, better wrap up for now - Badger wants lunch.

Hi!

Broke my glasses, wearing back ups. Headache. New ones on Monday. Dinner party tonight. Crazy busy!

HI SUBCLINICAL! 😀

Hi Tatoulia
Glad you are trying to keep your free days free for more enjoyable and relaxing times.

Your late night sandwich sounds so yummy!

SP&S's actions seem punitive to me.
They are facing paying for all the millions of dollars of fire damage caused by one of their power lines.
So to punish all the customers when the wind might blow they cut off all their electric power.
They should have been upgrading and burying powerlines under ground long before the tragedy happened.
But they just kept paying their investors large dividends rather than footing the bill to upgrade.

So relieved that I don't have to go anywhere for at least a week and get to stay put.
Haven't winterized everything yet since we are still having lovely warm days between some very cold days.
Want to water things at least one more time before putting away the hoses till next Spring.
And I want to be able to open all the windows for fresh air on warmer days too.

That is criminal, Tillie. People need stability and food. Very upsetting.

I slept a lot. I'm awake now and working from home. I got up around 9 last night and made a feta and cucumber sandwich.

Just stiff and dizzy, with a headache. I'm grateful I feel like working as I don't want to use up a day if I don't have to. I'm at the time of year where I get a bit stingy as I like to have some days to cash in come January. Right now, taking into account the days in December I'm planning to take off, I have about nine days to play with. I try to carry over five to cash in.

I will shower and get dressed soon. Gray fall day.

SP&P is California's power company.
They have been found guilty of one of their power lines coming down in high winds and completely destroying entire towns and communities.

So....
They have decided to shut off power to random areas at random times for up to seven days or more at a time.

Here in Northern Nevada most all of our food and other supplies come over the mountains from California.

Warehouses without power cannot fill orders and load up trucks.
So many of the grocery store shelves were bare today because their orders weren't delivered.
It wasn't too bad but if this continues it will be.

Noticed the field where they used to keep sheep years ago has sheep in it again.
Love that field at lambing time. 🙂

YEA! Tatoulia for getting all inoculated!!!

Get a good solid night's sleep and at least you will be well rested tomorrow.

Lets see...bananas, ginger root, Granny Smith apples, cherry tomatoes, green grapes, lemons, peanut butter, blackberry preserves, eggnog ice cream, one medium size pumpkin, case of 40 cans of kitty pate`, kitty litter, corn bread mix, brownie mix, 4 cans of evaporated milk, sweet unsalted butter, 2 jugs unsweetened almond milk...
Put together with what I already have here will be plenty of meal choices.

I believe that when an animal is acting like an idiot it's the best way to describe them. 😉

Sometimes they go out of their way to find something to get all upset about.
Idiot animals. ;p

I love it when you call the cats idiots. Because I know you love them. The proof is in the idiot.

Got shingles shot and flu shot today. I'm not feeling all that great right now. Kitty's on the bed with me. I hope I wake up feeling better tmr.

I'm glad I got the shots today.

Tillie what did you buy for food?
