The VA is going to start giving flu shots Oct. 2. I'll get mine next Wednesday after I get back from Nebraska

I'm taking dad for his flu shot on Saturday.

I have been enjoying some nice fall swimming. The lap swimmers have pretty much had the pool to themselves and it has been nice and peaceful. Monday afternoon it was just the two of us and we could swim in peace. Today was a different story. It was upper 80's and the pool was full of kids. We swam about 15 minutes, gave up and got out. At least with all the kids hopefully the board will get the message that people do use the pool on into late September and stop with this trying to close it just after labor day.

I am happily surprised that it appears I will not feel the need to turn on heat during September this year.

Our 10-day forecast is all 80s (80-86). Not too bad.
2 adoptions Friday, 5 adoptions today .. yay! It's nice to be busy.
YAY! My wonderful DH is back in town (that always makes me smile)

I'm sure it does.
I took my signed George Harrison lithograph to a consignment store on Friday. It's on eBay and it has a bid. That means it will never be back in my home. After shedding a few tears in the car, I'm fine with it and can now let my Beatles collection go.

I'm sure having Autumn allergy/sinus problems. And I got a mosquito bite INSIDE this evening.
Our local school district's teachers union has voted to strike ~ but they aren't actually striking, yet. It will be interesting to see what happens.
My wonderful DH heads out of town again on Oct 15.

I get to take dad to get his hearing aids checked today. This is never fun.

Jack the cat (used to be neighbor's ~ now ours) got a bite or scratch on his right ear that was getting swollen, so after much chasing and stress, we got him in a carrier and off to the vet. $122 later ... they think he will be fine. (Antibiotic shot and they cleaned the wound ... as much as he'd let them.) At least we finally got flea meds on the little guy. He is currently semi-sulking/semi-stress on the Catio, locked in for the night.
Five days of 80s (including an 89 tomorrow), then followed by 4 days of 70s. This may be my last week in the pool. (I was in for a bit today ... brrrrr)

It still hasn't cooled off in NW Arkansas. Staying in the mid to high 80s everyday and around 65-70 at night. I'd be thrilled to turn off the AC, but likely it will go from AC to heat in a matter of 34 hours.

After the flood, free DPT's were given to anyone who'd been in contact with the water or debris removal. I got mine. If you get your flu shot at Walgreen's, my insurance covers mine, they'll donate a free vaccine for a child in need.

I got my flu shot at Target and got a $5 off coupon.
After such a dry August and September, it's been raining non stop since yesterday. High school football games were being made up today and still having lightning delays. Some of the coaches decided whatever score they were at last night was good enough.
School here in town postponed game last night after first half until noon today. It was Homecoming. Still had rain delays today and local school didn't score. I don't understand why they didn't just say it was over last night and let the kids get ready for the dance tonight.

Our local schools canceled outdoor activities today because of all the smoke and particulates from the California fires. It looks foggy out there. I've got all the windows and doors shut ~ unfortunately ~ since this really is a nice time of the year. The good news is that it's pleasant inside, temperature wise. I've got my small air filter running and I just ordered a larger one from Amazon that will be here on Saturday. We've got some cute kittens at the rescue and I've been working on getting them publicity. The website LoveMeow did a nice right up on them today ... so here's the link. ( Cute pictures and I'm quoted!) www.lovemeow.com/two-sister-kittens-become-family-to-tinier-orphaned-kitten-so-she-wont-be-alone-2495682312.htmlMy wonderful DH leaves town on Sunday for a week ~ at least he'll have better air quality, right? I am sure that you will all be SHOCKED to here that the pay people have made multiple errors on his pay, yet again. (No worries, we're not having a financial crisis ... we're very used to this)
I paid some bills today ~ always nice to get that done.

We will be getting our first winter type rain later this week. There has been some fall type rain, warmer and not as heavy rain. Oreo just hopped up on the desk, looked at me and yawned. Guess it must be bed time.

We are having a late fall. Still no killing frost. There was frost on the roof tops yesterday.
We have had so much rain. The farmers are having a hard time with the harvest because the fields are too muddy to get their equipment in.

Not much newsworthy to report here. The weather's glorious ~ I was in the pool one day last week when it was 88 degrees ... but the water was FREEZING. I'm probably done for the season... we'll fill up and set up the hot tub right after Thanksgiving. We were 84 today ~ but between going to Sprouts, Walmart and Petco (shopping) ... plus out to lunch ... I wasn't home during the warmest part of the sunny afternoon. Our cat rescue's big Open House is coming up this next Saturday, and we're forecast for rain ... drat. That will definitely hurt the turnout.... and the funds raised. Oh well, what can you do? My wonderful DH has been training for his annual PT test at work (run, situps, pushups) .... his test is coming up soon. He always stresses a bit before the test, and is much calmer afterward! So ... I'm stressed about weather and the Open House, and he's stressed about work. Ahh ... the joys of married life. We're not giving out candy for Halloween... last year we had only a few neighbors ... and a few other carloads who drove and dropped kids. It freaks out our cats to have the doorbell ringing off-and-on for 3 hours ... so we've just decided to be Bah Humbuggy and keep the porch light off. ( We do have fall leaves garden flags out there, and a fall leaf wreath, and 3 pumpkins ... so we're "Autumnal") My wonderful DH has done some flying in support of the Norcal fires, but he's home for now. I know he's got a trip to Texas and a trip to Washington D.C. both coming up .... but his schedule changes daily, so I'm never totally sure when he's going to be gone. November 5 is marks 34 years of military service for him, and I'm as proud of him as I can be. All is well on the cat front. We've still got 5 indoors, and Jack (formerly the neighbor's cat) who shows up several times a day for food and pets. Tigger (our oldest ~ he's almost 15) is definitely slowing down and has become a picky eater and has IBD (irritable bowel disease) ... which isn't that unusual for a cat of his age. I sleep most nights with Emily and Cheeto ON me .... they are most excellent warmers! (Of course, I end up covered with orange fur!) Hope all is well with y'all. I spend most of my time on Facebook and if you want to connect with me there, send me a PM with your Facebook details and I can add you.

Today marks 34 years of military service for him. yay!
We made about $32,000 on the rescue fundraiser. Yay!
We finally got all of our clocks changed. Yay. (Wait ... did we do the cars?) We've decided that we have waaaay too many clocks in our house.

I did the car this morning when I had to go to town. I thought I was late.
Congrats to your hubby.
And congrats on the fundraiser.

Friday and Saturday are Petco days spent at the Adoption Center.
Saturday night, we're having dinner with friends.
Saturday is Veteran's Day ... but my wonderful DH actually has tomorrow off. Maybe. He's on alert and may have to fly missions on Friday and Saturday. If that happens, I hope he gets a day off in place of the missed holiday.

The town that DD lives in has a large veterans days parade. I had thought that maybe we should go but it is probably going to be too wet and cold to have the baby outside for several hours.

I have a sinus infection and I'm on an antibiotic. Our weather has been glorious. 65 and sunny today. One adoption Friday and SEVEN adoptions Saturday at Petco ~ yay! Saturday was ridiculously busy. I'll be there this next Friday and Saturday, too. Luckily, someone else has the job of going in on Thursday (Thanksgiving) to feed and scoop. The Petco store is USUALLY closed on Thanksgiving ... so they open up from 8am-10pm for staff only to care for the animals ... which gets things done in the morning. This year, they are opening from 3-8pm ... so our staff can't get in until 2pm to feed/scoop ... which is a complete mess-up for their day. And I'm not sure why they randomly chose this Petco (of all the local Petco stores) to be open on Thanksgiving. Apparently, it's some sort of experiment. As a fundraiser, we're selling a calendar from The Cat House on the Kings featuring really nice pictures of some of our cats and kittens. Free shipping in the USA. Here's the link if anyone is interested: www.cathouseonthekings.com/calendar
