Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 33 degrees. There was a breeze blowing that caused a cold wind chill.

I need to feed the felines and I need to get out to buy kitten food for Orion (canned) and cat food for Lilo (canned) but want to try a new flavor for Lilo that our closest PetSmart doesn't carry. I will travel a bit further afield and try the nearest PetCo to see if they have it.
I could order it online but I have to buy it by the case, and the price is staggering. As she hasn't tried that flavor (the whole point of buying it) I am not about to buy a case and then find out she doesn't like it. If I can't get just a can to try, then she won't be trying it at all.
She's not too crazy about the two canned flavors of her special diet that are readily available at the vet or the nearby PetSmart and I would like to get one she actually likes if I can. They make a plain, tuna pate flavor and she generally likes tuna so I'm looking for a can of that flavor. She's an old kitty and deserves to have food that she actually likes, if it can be found. Fortunately she does like the kibble that's available from the vet (chicken flavor), but I would like her to be eating more canned food and she doesn't like the chicken pate that they have there or the alternate, vegetable and tuna stew from PetSmart, though she does like tuna. I think it's the veggie part that turns her off.
That makes a lot of sense, trying a new flavor before buying a case. Cats get to eat Pate ? I'm guessing, once again that it is actually meat in a paste flavor rather than real Pate.
I would also turn my nose up at Vegetable & Tuna Stewparityanimal wrote: »SOURDOUGH Focaccia Recipe - Italian olive oil flatbread

Hi Ed
I'm guessing that the stuff to the curb is for Monday pickup ? They must come early where You are, I put ours out the morning of the pickup on my way out the door walking usually or on my return home.
I think someone sometimes (maybe every time?) does a drive by around 7:00 in the morning to estimate how much garbage there is and perhaps decide how many trucks to schedule to get it all. I remember a time when I didn't get them out by 7:00 and got a nastygram left on the bin reminding me I had to get it ready by then!
I am not going to get all that together first thing in the morning while half awake and if I'm going to get it ready the night before, I might as well go ahead and roll it out to the curb. Most of the neighbors do the same as they apparently aren't going to do that first thing in the morning either.
I get reminded to put mine out when I am walking and see others at the curb. For the garbage, I usually get it ready the night before and put it in the can on the porch and then put it out on my return. Even in a can I sometimes see neighbors knocked over in the night and torn open so I put it out in the morning.
Have a Nice Day

I watched Emmy make Focaccia! Now I'm starving! Will watch here other video later, or else I might eat the cat or whatever else I could catch! LOL
Had a great nights sleep, so far this morning I've been at this computer.
Got my delivery from Amazon by truck already this morning. (complete with pix of package on my porch)...I really like that.
Heading to the kitchen to actually DO the one thing I've not done already....going to press a block of tofu. Honest, I really am....uh huh....
Its supposed to get up to 58 sunny degrees today....but the wind needs to calm down! Tom has been inspecting the houses he 'patrols'! He's honestly got a dog gene or two. Still waiting for him to bark.
Ok, off to the kitchen this witch said......
Later...
That is the problem with watching Videos dealing with food, That being the cravings they can cause
I don't think the Picture of the delivered item works with Firefox or maybe all browsers, Since I use Firefox and occasionally the Microsoft Browser. Usually I use the MS browser to look up items on Amazon and hope they do not notice it is me.
Nice and warm compared to here.
I got woke up a little before 3AM by what sounded like a Cats squall followed shortly by other cat type noises for a while and never did manage to fall asleep again
Have a Good Day

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 4C/40F with an expected high of 15C/59F and 0% chance of precipitation.
I've given Lilo her Tuesday shot, but still need to feed the cats and clean up yesterday's cat bowls. And I need to call the dentist as I need to have at least one tooth looked at. I can already say that it will either need a large filling or possibly a root canal. If it needs a root canal, I'm hoping that they can re-use the existing crown. This, of course, assumes I have the right tooth in mind as sometimes the pain seems to be one place but is originating somewhere else.
I'm hoping they can fit me in today. I may have managed 2 hours or so of poor sleep during the night as being horizontal magnified the pain to un-sleepable proportions for the majority of the night, despite what pain relief I was able to apply. There were some short periods where I managed to not feel the pain for a while and snooze fitfully. Since I was pretty aware of a problem fairly early in the evening, dinner last night was Farfalle a la Vodka, using vodka sauce from a jar. It was pretty good, and may inspire Eduardo to try making a vodka sauce from scratch, though I know there are difficulties with getting cream and tomato sauce to live happily together without either too much heat or too much acid (or both) causing some curdling. Eduardo may have to just forego such efforts.
If I get out to the dentist, may pick up a few grocery items on the way home. Our dentist is right across the street from our Kroger.
And I have yesterday's laundry to fold and put away. The first load is sitting on the machines in the laundry room and the second is in the dryer, drying.
UPDATE:
I have a dentist appointment now at 11:00 this morning. Yay?

Well, the dentist has referred me to an endodontist for that probably root canal. We are 99% sure on which tooth, and I'm hoping that we can save the crown and re-use it rather than have to make a new one.
Dentist gave me a prescription for antibiotics and a prescription for pain. I took a Lortab just before my lunch a few minutes ago and will need to lie down shortly. Hopefully I'll be able to get a nice LONG nap in.

Its been a good day, busy, but enjoyable. I slept for Ed...I finally woke at nearly 10 a.m.! Needless to say, that made for a somewhat ? shorter day, and being Tues...Jack calls at 4 p.m...more shortness!
Went to the gym, got re-schooled on how to use the Row Machine., and we messed with the hand bicycle, and the other thing doesn't have a name...and we're not quite sure what its purpose is!!!! But, we've got it! LOL!
Then I did some rowing for about 3 minutes and stopped...the row machine properly used, works you entire back and I for sure didn't want to over do...then I beat it to Walmart for Tom E.'s stock of canned and dry food to get 'us' thru til January! I also found this fuzzy, weird coat like thing, in night wear area...it was a whole 12 bucks, and I have been so, so warm!!!! This is going to be great! My hands are warm!!!! WooHoo! Talked with Jack..we talked about O not being able to read cursive. Jack said he was shocked too. Hope he does something about that. While talking with Jack, I realized I was really hungry..it was about 5:30 and the only thing I'd eaten all day was my morning banana!!!! Needless to say, after we hung up a meal was fixed...and eaten!
You are so lucky, I wish I could sleep in like that. I seem to keep waking up a little earlier each week and having trouble falling back to sleep
If it works the back 3 minutes is likely more than enough. Still no name for the one machine, They do not know what it is called despite it being installed in their location ? No Packing list or manual that could ID it ?
If I said warm is good, Congratulations on finding a economical night wear. Is it worth going for a spare for when the one needs to be washed ?
This year with prodding from his nutritionist my brother has added some fruits to his diet, Bananas and Apple, she told him to cut back on the Bananas and add in other fruits, Not Mr. Stubborn. He is also being pushed to eat more vegetables. Most of the ones he eats are fried onions and or Mushrooms at breakfast. Most of the ones he will eat are on the proscribed list due to interactions with Meds.Ed, I am so sorry about your tooth. That's a terrible bummer. Like 'Merry Christmas from the Grinch?' Hope they can reuse the crown for you too.
Roger, yikes it was cold at your house, well outside your house this morning. Hopefully it warmed up quite a bit as the day progressed.
Enjoyed the Emmy video's, and the Jaffa Cake, which I'd never heard of....nice mix of flavors, no doubt they are good. Pretty much shows you can Veganize most anything!!
I'm tired, believe it or not...Tom's eaten, kitchen is cleaned and I'm heading for my room and some sleep.
Later...
Oh, oh oh...Roger....the pictures of the delivered packages are on my phone...text messages. That's why you don't have them on your computer.The wind never really dies down until around Sundown.
That would explain why I never see them. So many companies seem to think everybody has a smart phone, Things like Amazon and Offers that sound good but that with my Dumb Phone and no texting either will not happen for me.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 4C/40F with an expected high of 13C/56F and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to feed the felines and clean up yesterday's cat bowls. Then maybe a short nap before heading to the endodontist this afternoon. Maybe stop for a grocery item or two on the way home.
I didn't stop anywhere but Walgreens yesterday on the way home, because I seriously wanted a pain pill and a nap. When the pharmacy tech asked if I was dropping off, I replied that no, I was waiting because had been up all night and "I need a Lortab NOW!" and about 20 minutes later I was heading home with my prescriptions. A (generic) Lortab, antibiotic, and light lunch later and I was down for the count.
I slept better last night and even managed to get through the night without having to take another pain pill in the wee hours, though I did wake up from some pain, at about the time I could have taken another, and considered it. Why can't they make these things time released or something so that they last longer than 4 to 6 hours, which just isn't quite enough to get a good night's sleep?
Oh well, got one more mug of tea to brew and by then J may be up. I can feed the felines and, after checking my after breakfast blood glucose, take that short nap.

Back from the endodontist. I am now a rootless person. At least in that one molar.
I do have to go back tomorrow to my regular dentist so they can re-seal the entry port on the crown properly.
That was the most comfortable (or least uncomfortable?) root canal I ever had. If this office has a YELP rating page they are getting 5 stars.1 -

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 26 degrees. I am not liking the forecast for later today and Friday. Rain is supposed to move in this afternoon and be heavy through tomorrow and linger into early Saturday. Hopefully that forecast which I saw yesterday is wrong and the rain is not as bad as forecast.

He is to set in his ways to change.

We both have the Supplement plan that pays 100% of what Medicare does not cover as long as Medicare covers it.
I was thinking if it works that well, A spare would be handy to have, Cat repellent, Interesting.
If I want to go to CostCo and can not get there before they open I postpone the visit. It is so handy that they open early, Despite spending extra time looking for the refrigerated food You mentioned and failing to find it My register receipt showed 9:59

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 7C/45F with an expected high of 9C/50F and a verified 100% chance of rain.
So of course I have to go to the dentist this morning to have the crown re-sealed after yesterday's root canal. I still feel like I've been punched in the face, and it is extremely sensitive when I bite down on it but that may just be residual bruising or residual infection, and I will be asking the dentist about that today. She may need to adjust the bite on the crown a bit too. But we'll see. Hopefully the worst is past. At least I was able to sleep pretty well last night.
While out, if the rain isn't TOO bad, I may run by Kroger to pick up those few grocery items, since I didn't on the prior two days with my mouth so achey and in such a zombified state. There wasn't a Kroger near the endodontist office anyway, but I did pass by two of them on the way home.
I need to feed the felines and get yesterday's cat bowls all cleaned up.
