    Hi...way to late to even pretend its morning!
    Decided I'd have to stay away from the computer today, or at least a good part of it...got lots of little and big chores done today. Right now my ankle is killing me...so I'm sitting here with ice packs on my foot and ankle, hoping that helps.

    I did have a nice shower this afternoon...I heard Tom E. yelling on the porch, in a meow-ish sort of loud way. Opened the door to let him in, and he was wet, and it was raining. Grabbed the red towel and dried off Tom Cat, and he thought I was going to feed him his dinner...umm, like noooo....I did offer him some treats, which is not at all what he wanted, anyway he made a general pest of himself, and after about 15 minutes he was 'invited' back outside. He'll get dinner, at dinner time. Meanwhile there was dry kibble, and kitty treats, so its not like he was going to starve to death before 6 pm.

    Kiara is a very photogenic kitty...and a bit of a tease??? Cute pix.

    Saw the Cheezburger links online yesterday from fb. They always have great kitty pix and video's.. Enjoyed seeing Kiera pix in Lilo's box. Wild cats just aren't box cats very much. Wish the had been.

    Does that help?
    Yep Roger that surely did help... The screwed up word, is 'the'...and it should have been THEY...

    Water tower on fire...time to call in the neighboring fire departments with tanker trucks!

    Ok, icing time is up...time to get 'back to it'

    Well, I got the first load of laundry just now finishing up in the dryer, and the second load will go in as soon as I get it out.

    Got the bathrooms cleaned too, mostly. Still a shower to do, but I'll get to it...

    Lunch and dinner were both made from a pack of boneless, mostly white meat pork ribs that I roasted in the toaster oven with some barbecue sauce basted on for the last 15 minutes. Half the pack (3 ribs) was lunch and the other 3 ribs were dinner. Breakfast tomorrow might just be bacon and toast again, as I still have plenty of bacon in there from the camping trip and I'm getting through it, a few slices at a time!

    Yes, Kiara is definitely a bit of a tease.

    Hi
    I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 68 on the news channel and 65 degrees on the front porch.
    It was pleasant walking this morning until it drizzled on me. There is heavy rain in the forecast for today with predicted totals from 1/4 inch to 2 inches depending on where You are in NJ with the lightest being in the Northwest corner and the heaviest being in Southern NJ.

    Have a Great Monday

    Hi Ed]
    Nice looking cat.

    I was at the ShopRite yesterday, I now have some proteins on hand for use the next two days.
    Which would be Cooked Beef and Chicken.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 73 out there now with an expected high of 87 and 50% chance of rain.

    I've got to fold the last load of laundry from yesterday at some point and that might actually happen today! The sink has been cleared, I did get the cat boxes scooped and the garbage and recycles to the curb yesterday AND ran the dishwasher, which was emptied this morning and all the clean dishes put away.

    Good Morning...for a rainy Monday
    Got some rain overnight, not sure how much. Will go outside and look later. (the gauge is in a big garden pot, and there are 'leaves' from the liriope blocking my view this morning.

    Not sure what's on the agenda for today...I need banana's, and would 'like' a couple other things, so I may go to the gym...and pick up at the Mexican Market next door. 2 errands, one parking spot!

    Yes Roger, Tom E. is a Crazy Cat. Comes from being an alpha cat all his life, and finding himself without a 'pride', except for me, or so he thinks. Poor thing is just frustrated.

    Coffee's getting cold...will check in, wait for it....wait...wait

    Later!!!

    Front walk has been cleared of four o'clocks again. They tend to droop and sag, eating the sidewalk and making it look like a jungle adventure trying to get to and from the front door. ESPECIALLY after a heavy rain like last night. Periodically I have to go out there and just kind of bend them all back, and sort of fold them parallel to the house, to get them off the sidewalk and make it look passable.

    And the laundry is folded! Not all put away as yet, but J is still asleep. I think Lilo is probably in there with J and Kiara may have been but as I was just getting my second cup of tea Kiara popped up in the kitchen, from somewhere, maybe the living room, and meowed at me as she meandered over to the water bowl and probably to peer out the laundry room window.

    Shower cleaned up too! I made Eddie do it because I didn't want to shower one more time in a dirty shower. :)

    Braised sirloin tip with herb mashed potatoes and green beans on the side. Medium glass of red wine with it.

    I should get two or three more meals from this. I cooked extra potatoes and green beans for that purpose too.

    Good morning! Tuesday!
    Incredible day yesterday. Nope, didn't win the lottery. Pulled myself together and made that gym run. I was reintroduced to a young woman I knew when she was a tiny little thing. She is the daughter of my gym owner. She was a joy as a child and in what seems to be overnight has morphed into a beautiful, centered, wonderful young woman!
    Then on to the market for a couple of items, and home. Avoiding two torrential downpours in the process

    Hi
    I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 65 on the news channel and 66 degrees on the front porch.

    It rained Yesterday starting more heavily late morning and was still raining at 7PM. According to the Cable news channel we had around .7 inches of rain. That means a couple more days we will not need to water.

    Have a Great Tuesday
