Good Morning Kids! It's hot & sticky here this morning.
Didn't get the job, but, at least they didn't keep me hanging for weeks. Gotta keep looking...

Good morning everyone. Rain later.
Sorry Busy. Keep positive.
Watching an albino sparrow at our bird feeder. We read that they are rare. Trying to get a pic.
Just finished second day of cardiac rehab. I hate exercise machines.

I slept so good last night and it was so needed. My to-do list today is very long so of course I am just sitting, messing around on the computer.

Hello my superb Saturday peeps! A long and emotional day. Ran this morning (pool closed), then some appointments then lunch with my dear friend "J" and his teenage daughter. He and I had not seen each other for about 8 years, though we never lost contact. He is in a tough place in life right now, and it was so difficult for him to talk at first. But over the two hours we spent together, it all came out. I am soooooo glad we met up and I could assure him I'd be there for him. Swim meet tomorrow and then home to wash the car.

Good morning Muffins! Did you know someone somewhere has put National Whiskey Sour Day together with National Banana Split Day? Hmmm......do those flavors even go together? But then, after a few of the whiskey sours They must figure it won't matter whether or not your split even has a banana in it? On the other hand, perhaps it is just as well. Today is also National Kiss And Make Up Day...…..they could have, I suppose, matched that with "everything" garlic day or something.... Is it possible that somehow, someway, our "politicians" are in charge of when these days are designated?

Good Morning Kids! Hoping this week will be kinder than last week.
After my relative went onto hospice, we had to take him off of hospice due to some serious medical issues. Yes, it'll be back to hospice once things get resolved, but there are some situations that you just can't just "let it go", because it'd be too hard on the patient.

Going to be a busy day at work. Time to go.

Good Morning Kids! It's another Monday, so let's get to it.
My relative is one tough cookie, and is hanging in there. So, who knows, as the doctors have been wrong before...

I saw a cute bumper sticker while I was out running errands this afternoon. "Purr more, hiss less".

Celebrate Tuesday folks! Just because! Celebrate the last days of summer! Just because! Have that 3rd or 4th cup of coffee! Just because! Just Because? Because it's National Just Because Day! And, just because of it....you can swap out the ole oatmeal, or cornmeal mush, or plain ole gruel for a great cup of custard! Yep, today is National Pots De Crème Day! Enjoy!

Good Morning Kids! Unfortunately, we are in the "cone of probability" for Dorian. Praying it doesn't go full hurricane. DH & I have already dug out our maps in case we need to evacuate. Wish I knew how NancysSummerSip is doing. One of the many "perks" of living near the coast.

Morning Muffins! It is written (really, it says so on the message the pigeon from the mountain just dropped off) You may forgo your mandatory morning coffee ...if......and only if, you are participating in National Red Wine Day today……( Wyouser will stick to his coffee....it's way to early to be thinking about wine)

Wish I knew how NancysSummerSip is doing. One of the many "perks" of living near the coast. Hiya peeps! Thanks for thinking of me! So far, so good. New built in generator, full load of fuel (should last five days if we are conservative with our usage), first aid kit, flashlights, batteries, plenty of ice, food and water for us and kitties. I cleaned up the yard tonight and removed the small stuff, braced the fence and tied down the hoses. We will deal with patio furniture by Saturday, when we know the exact landfall location better. Our cars are fully gassed (I still have to work and go to swim practice this week, so we will use only my car; DH will keep his full and garaged as backup transportation). I hit the bank, pet store and grocery store today, all in an hour. Pretty civilized, though all were busy. No real panic. Personally, I have my basic hurricane supplies early in the summer so I am not caught out.
The local power authority just replaced all the old wood power poles with concrete poles, so we will see if that helps prevent power loss. Frankly, with lines above ground in hurricane-force winds, I can hardly think it will. I will cook and fix a few days worth of meals Saturday; stuff we can eat cold or use the microwave or toaster oven to reheat (the range draws too much power to use).
I will try to keep y'all posted as much as possible for the storm's duration.

Thanks for checking in NancysSummerSip! I was a bit surprised to see the water section at Target completely sold out tonight. I've been checking with my neighbors who have hurricane experience, and they're really not worried, at least not yet. They seem to believe that some are a bit skittish after Hurricane Michael last year, but I've been putting food in our pantry that we wouldn't need to cook if we lost power. Might not be the most nutritious, but we'd get by. We're still keeping an eye on things here, & still plan to leave if we must.

Hmmmmm……...National Chop Suey Day...…..Does this mean Wyouser actually gets his hands on something to "chop" with? Normally left-handers like me are not allowed any items that are sharp or pointed to play with And, this "suey" stuff sounds a lot like the sound we used to make to get the attention of our hogs Perhaps I should just retire to my rock out back and let this day sort of slide by?

We had a couple of days of hotter than normal temps but should be cooler today. This change to cooler weather brought us a nice Thunderstorm about 2:30am. It was really rockin and rollin out there for a while, unfortunately no rain which isn't good.
