Kind of worked - got out of the office at 4. And then the weekend was a total bust. Rained all weekend and I didn't feel like doing anything. Did go get my nails done and some shopping with sis - always fun.
Mostly I slept all weekend - think I needed it? But I have a crazy busy week coming up so I guess I should have rested up!
Be careful in your canoe and don't forget Chip's life jacket!
All that rain turned the parking lot at my office into a pond (our office is on a lake). The ducks were swimming around the parking lot - I should have gotten a picture.
So cute that Chip is sticking around. Guess she found her forever home! And I can just see you trying to get the Barbie life jacket on her - now that I would like video of!
Fortunately the rain is letting up - was actually pretty yesterday afternoon which makes me happy. Got in a good walk after work with the pup. Been tracking my steps and got up over 13k yesterday, yeah me!
I still have a ton of yard work to do - wish that stuff would quit growing.
Corned beef & cabbage for dinner - hooray!
You didn't get here fast enough and I ate it all! And it was yummy!
Yeah, we set some records with the rain recently. It's slowed down some and I was actually able to park in my parking spot yesterday. I think there are plans to fix the drainage system but we all know how that goes.
Wonder what the average lifespan of a chipmunk is? The rat guy was out the other day and found a squirrel in one of our bait stations - first time that's happened.
I have a desk I can stand or sit at and I usually end up standing most of the day (easier on my back). I walk in place a lot and take frequent breaks and walk around the parking lot or around the deck that goes all the way around the office building. Feels better when I move a lot. Beats the treadmill.
Well, if the rain is moving in I guess it's time for me to come over and play dolls! Isn't that what rainy days are for?
Treadmills don't bother me much if I am working out in a gym and there are others around me on a treadmill. Otherwise, can't do them. Need to be completely zoned out. I will run circles and loops in my basement during bad weather before I'll hop on a treadmill.
We have rain moving in tonight and will be rainy most of tomorrow. It was back down to 38* this morning and maybe to 50* for a high this afternoon. I didn't mind being out in the cool this morning for exercise but it felt downright chilly later in the day.
It has been awhile since I read up on chipmunks, but I think average is 5-7 years. Longer if they are kept indoors as a pet. I get such a kick out of watching them. This one can run really fast and when she does, her tail is all bushy and sticks straight up in the air
The birds are competition when it comes to food. She has learned that if she charges at them(tail bushy and straight up)she can scare them a little and get at the food. Birds like doves are bigger than she is,(and they can really gobble the food) so she has to be aggressive. The first one we had was a real entertainer.
Tomorrow is grocery shopping. There's got to be more to life than chores. I think it's time for another foray soon.
Patiently waiting for video of Chip.
I'm with you on another foray - let's pick a non-rainy night but with clouds so we can sneak around.
Going to the annual Women's Show tomorrow with sis - should be fun. Even took the day off to do it.
Overslept this a.m. and now am rushing around getting out of here. but the sleep was nice!
We had a great time! Lots of freebies, lots of interesting info and lots of free sample foods. Only thing we couldn't figure out is if you eat ice cream while walking up the stairs does that cancel out the ice cream calories?
I did buy a new flat iron - my old one needed replacing anyway and the girl selling them used me as a "model" to show how it well this one worked (gave me a nice discount too!). My hair was a mess at the time - I had finally given up on getting it to look nice and just pulled it back out of the way so it worked out well.
Oh, and I picked up some really cool slushy stuff that you can mix with wine or alcohol. On one of our summer forays I'll make the one that tastes like watermelon Jolly Ranchers - so good! And some dip mix made with ghost peppers.
Supposed to rain all weekend so I probably won't get much yardwork done - I try to get the yard waste bin filled every week but it doesn't always happen.
Then again, maybe I'll just nap all weekend. That would be good too! Although I did realize yesterday I need shoes... oh the possibilities are endless!
Yeah! The reply button is back! I thought we needed to get this thread up to 1000 before summer and then start a new one.
I like shopping in the middle of the week more but it never works out that way for me. Maybe when I win the lottery and retire.
Thanks for reminding me I need to get my car in for service too. Or maybe it's late. Oh well. That I try to get done early on the weekends - in and out in about 10 minutes.
Yeah, I want to know who is in charge of the weather. Pouring down rain right now. I need it to stay dry for awhile so the garage door gets dried out so we can replace the panels. Work, work, work.
I really need one of these pillows for The Queen. She's been in a regal mood lately.
I reported the problem to the moderator last night and I thank him/ or her for fixing it for us
10 minute service? Wow, I need that place. I don't even remember Jiffy Lube being that fast. You must have a pit crew for your service team. snort.
It got pretty warm today; maybe 76* or so. Now I can complain about it being too warm in the house tonight. Have the windows open but there is no breeze whatsoever. Won't have that problem tomorrow with temps getting down to 32* tomorrow night
I'll need to go out Friday and cover some of the plants that are coming up because temps will drop into the 20's Friday and Saturday night.
One of the perks with my old job was having days off during the week. Made it nice to be able to do certain errands that can be done only M-F. Drawback was having to work every other weekend but sometimes that was not so bad. So, I understand how working M-F makes it difficult to shop or whatever else you may want to do on a week day.
That is what I like about Siamese cats; they are balanced. Sometimes Myah ignores me but most of the time she follows me around and stays close like a dog would. Mitzi was a very good companion kitty too. Sadie just blew everybody off, ha!
Wow on your weather! That's some big changes. We get a break from the rain today and then back to it for the weekend. But it's not cold or icy so I shouldn't complain.
Fortunately, if something has to be done during the week I can usually take time off to do it. It's not like I don't spend enough time in the office.
Notifying the mod - what a smart idea! Duh - my poor brain doesn't turn on until after the 3rd cup of coffee!
Q follows me around a lot. The Queen just has her blankie on the couch behind me so I can reach back and pet her when she's in the mood. She's such a spoiled girl.
Running late this a.m. - slept in, yeah me!
This guy made me giggle.
It was drizzly most of the day and temp in the 40's. Did my usual this morning and when got home, noticed the neighbor's big maple tree had been cut down. For quite some time it had been growing into the power lines and totally blocking the street light. Leaves a big empty space but I am actually glad it is gone. The first people who lived there are the ones who planted it directly under the power lines. They knew it would eventually cause a problem to the power company but they also knew they would not be living here long enough to deal with it. I'm kinda glad it is gone because now maybe we can have a little bit of street light in our front yard. I bet my neighbor will miss it though because they liked to park under it.
Gif kitty looks the least bit concerned about his predicament. He may be trying to reverse the effects of gravity
That was some bummer news about the German airline 'deliberate' crash. So much for not being able to get into the cabin. What a tragedy!
I sure wanted to sleep in this morning. I could not go to sleep last night. Normally, I don't drink caffienated coffee but, I decided to have some yesterday. Even had it earlyier in the day. I think I was awake until around 3AM. Myah was getting irked because I kept moving around. She was swatting her tail pretty emphatically. haha! Bet I sleep good tonight. It will be cooler in the house too, so that should help.
We got into the 70s yesterday and it was glorious! Supposed to stay that way today and then the rain comes back for the weekend. Hopefully there will be some sun breaks so I can do outside stuff.
The airliner tragedy just makes my heart hurt.
I'm trying to cut back some on the coffee and see if it helps my sleep some. Worth a shot. Of course Q sleeping on my head at 3:30 this morning did not help any.
Thinking of adding a sound system to the broom - we could really annoy some people that way!
Friday!
