    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! A bit chilly here, with no chance of precipitation. They may call with the results of Lilo's lab work today. She is in my lap now, rubbing against my wrist and trying to interfere with my typing.

    I was a bit busier than expected yesterday.

    I realized I needed to pick up a prescription, and some kibble for Lilo.

    So after dropping her back at home (and, of course, giving her some treats since we went to the vet) I headed out to PetSmart, where I discovered my prescription for her special food had expired. So I trudged to the back of the store, to the built in vet, where things were running a tad slow and I was standing, waiting, longer than was really comfortable. But, when I finally got to the desk, the nice young lady there quickly issued a new prescription and gave me a $15 off coupon to use on the food. I guess that made it worth the wait.

    Walgreen's was the next stop, and I picked up my prescription with no wait. On the way back to the door I grabbed some frozen Mozzarella sticks for J's lunch, and a frozen pizza for dinner, bought those, came home and warmed up some beef and veggie soup for my own lunch.

    By the time I got the laundry all done, folded, and put away, I was ready for a nap!

    There is an Arby's very conveniently close to us. I don't eat it daily, or even often. I doubt this video will change that at all.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying (and possibly soggy) Saturday! 80% chance of precipitation in the post meridian hours but not too bad as far as temperature goes. I don't think I need to go anywhere today, though one never knows for sure.

    Lilo's bloodwork looked good, according to the call from the vet. I am to keep on with the fluid treatments, of course, as that will continue for the rest of her life. She takes it pretty well, though she does get a bit grumpy. Next week I need to bring Orion back in so they can re-check his ears to see if the drops cleared up the little bit of infection in there. It wasn't much anyway, so it should be fine now.

    J has been thoroughly occupied with some work project, and has been up all night in fact, still working on it. Last night I asked, "What do you want for dinner?" and got the response, "Okay."

    Me, trying to figure out how to make Okay...

    I decided on a hash brown, onion, egg, and cheese concoction and apparently it was Okay. So here is what Okay looks like, if anyone needs to make it.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Colder today, but no chance of precipitation. I need to get out today or tomorrow to get canned food for Lilo. Probably today, since there is no chance of rain.

    Other than that, not a lot on the agenda.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! They are doing something just down the street, but not sure if it is more work on the sidewalk project or some kind of utility work. I suspect the former.

    Both of us having had the two days of the weekend off, I have given Lilo her Monday fluid treatment, which she took about as graciously as always, grumping about it, and making a few small efforts to leave early, but always settling back down. I pretty much pet her and talk to her throughout the short process. Since starting with the treatments she really seems to feel better, and her appetite has improved. I am glad that, for now anyway, three times a week seems to be working out for her.

    I had thought of getting out today for a couple of things I didn't get at the grocery yesterday, but that may depend on how much (and how long) today's work snarls up the traffic on the street. When I looked a bit ago, they had one lane closed off so the road was down to only the one remaining lane, which is always annoying. None of the items are critical so it's not necessary that I get out today.

    Well, it turns out it's not utilities OR sidewalk construction out there. They are finally re-paving the segment of road we live on. I am hoping they can get it all done today, while school is out, and I can get out tomorrow without any problems or delays.

    New sidewalk...new road...I am going to feel like we moved to a fancier neighborhood!

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Cold right now, but will be a bit nicer later on. I need to bring Orion to have his ears re-checked today, and for urinalysis as I am pretty sure he left a gift from door #2 on the floor, nowhere near a litter box, yesterday morning. Someone did, and it looked like what he normally does in the box. So he may have been trying to say something.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! A bit nippy out, and not getting too warm today. I have little on the agenda, other than a routine visit with my endocrinologist. I don't expect any surprises there.

    Everything looked good (at the moment, anyway) at the Endocrinologist. We have to wait to see how the blood work looks, and the urinalysis.

    Back home and in from the damp, horrid, almost sleet sprinkles, having dropped $84 and change at Aldi on the way home. I didn't even buy the one Aldi specific item I had on the list! LOL! It wasn't critical, so it can wait. I was in there before lunch, always a mistake, but we will eat all the stuff I bought. Some of it may need to be frozen though.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! Weather looks much the same as yesterday, though a bit on the colder side. It was raining when I arose. Might do a little light house cleaning today. Might not. I do want a nap as I didn't get one yesterday, with all my runnng around.

    $84 at Aldi's should net a nice bunch of groceries!!

    Curious about having to wait for your lab work for the Endo...They don't draw that a week ahead? My Primary does that. Mades the office visit go smoothly.

    Later...

    I was shopping hungry, always a bad idea, and did get some indulgences...but also some interesting things to try, like some protein wraps (like tortillas, but not) that I want to try for burrito like somethings. Maybe for lunch today. Some canned beans. One can went into J's dinner of chili beans and corn. That is just a drained can of whole corn, mixed with a can of chili beans, and any added seasoning needed to spice it up, along with added bell pepper, jalapeno, and/or onion, if any of that is desired. Several jars of pasta sauce, some pasta, frozen veggies, a can of chili with meat and beans (for me of course), and some shredded cheeses and sliced pepper jack. Indulgences included some very nice specialty cheeses, a roll of braunschweiger, a package of mini naan, two frozen cauliflower crust pizzas (ok, those are not entirely indulgences...they are fairly healthy, though a tad pricy), a large jar of whole cashews with sea salt (also not entirely an indulgence), a can of cocktail peanuts - but darn it, no cocktails to go with them! Of course the peanuts are not entirely an indulgence either as, in moderate amounts, they can be a healthy snack. And some Bada Bean Bada Boom roasted broad bean snacks, another indulgence only because of the price. And I didn't get the box of yellow rice mix I had on the list, though it was really my reason for going to Aldi! Their yellow rice mix is the only one I have found that is vegetarian, as most have chicken in there in some form. Yes, I CAN make my own yellow rice, but that box is so darn convenient. LOL.

    My endocrinologist prefers to decide what testing to do AFTER discussing things with me, and reviewing any shared results he might have from the other doctor(s), and in this case, my hospital visit, and, of course, reviewing my glucose and blood pressure statistics for the interval. Then if he has any suggestions or instructions based on the lab work, they get posted, along with all the lab results, to a web portal where I can download them or just peruse them. No paper for the lab results unless I just want to print them.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's pretty chilly out there now, but supposed to get up to 53 today. I may pop out to Kroger for a few things.

    Appropriately, I made chili yesterday and had that for dinner. And again for breakfast. I have an urge to buy some fat free turkey hot dogs, and low carb, high fiber, whole wheat hot dog buns so I can use some of the remaining leftover chili for chili cheese dogs, a rare pleasure. If I play it right, I can have TWO and still stay within the boundaries for a diabetic meal, barely...no sides, of course. Or I can have one and maybe a small side dish as well.

    If I do get out to Kroger today, I will definitely be checking on the availibility of the hot dogs and buns I would need.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Cool this morning, and will be cool all day, but not too cool for me. I have given Lilo her Monday morning fluid treatment and she has disappeared, but that isn't unusual. Finished off one bag of fluid this morning and prepped the next bag so it will be ready to roll Wednesday afternoon. Despite all the medical things I have to do to her, she still wants my lap and/or to be held by me so it must not be quite as horrible as she makes it out to be while it's happening. I have often wished there were some way to communicate with my cats just enough to let them know why I am doing things. Though I am not sure I'd want to know what they have to say to me all the time!

    How are you and your Fitbit doing? Hope its one of the easy ones to set up...doesn't lessen the shock of learning that for 2 consecutive days your quest for 10,000 steps has been a failure! LOL!! I know I was shocked at how few steps I actually took on an average day at home. I got my first pedometer while I was still employed at the Red Cross...and I logged a whopping 3000+ steps. I thought the little counter thingy was for sure broken...:) :)

    I got the Inspire HR and it was pretty easy to set up. I got it so I could always keep an eye on my pulse. It doesn't take much to get mine moving right along! With my knees and right hip, I am basically ignoring what it "wants" me to do, especially as far as steps, and just using it as a bit of a monitor on what I am actually doing. I am in charge here, not the device. LOL. And it's easy to just swing my arm forward and back to trick it into thinking I am taking steps when I am not, so I am, as usual, a bit unimgressed with some of the technoogy. The heart rate monitor is impressive though. If the ones that measured O2 levels weren't so expensive, I wouldn't have minded getting one of those. But my phone can actually do that. It can do my heart rate too, using a finger over the camera for both, but it's not continuous for either one, and a wrist worn device like the FitBit can be.

I saw him a few nights ago and realized he would need a ride asap. Or at least that I would need to give him a ride asap. He "volunteered" last night to end his stay in our garage. He's a little camera shy.

Next time we have coffee I'll tell you about the rats that tried to take over my garage, and what I did to the WalMart Lady early one morning! I'm still laughing, and pretty sure she is too! Where does one take an intruder?


    As rats go, this one was small to medium. Much smaller, and the cage grating would have been too big and our guest would have eaten the peanut butter and fled. But I also have a couple of humane mouse traps out there that would have eventually trapped him in that case.

    We don't use snap traps as they don't always kill instantly. While I am not squeamish about finishing off a rat or mouse, it is cruel to have the creature struggling, in pain, for however long it takes to die of its injuries or be finished off by a human.

    On the other hand, I AM squeamish about just murdering an otherwise healthy creature that can be rehomed, hence the live capture trap(s) we use.

    He has been rehomed to a small park near the Chattahoochee river. The dumpster I released him at is near the woods, in the parking area, at the far end of the park from the "people" area, and he should not be troubling anyone there. He has a fair chance at a long, fulfilling rat life, though he will need to watch out for owls, foxes, feral cats, and possibly coyotes there. And there should be good foraging in the woods for him.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satifying Saturday! It looks like it will be a nice day, albeit on the cool side.

    Last night we went out to buy a desk, and stopped at a Chinese hot pot restaurant on the way home. The food was delicious, but I ate way too many noodles. Other than that, it may have been the healthiest meal we had all last month, with plenty of veggies and mushrooms.

    Not a lot on the agenda today. J stayed up most of the night finishing up the "some assembly required" for the desk so will likely sleep in til noon or later today. Tonight we will probably start the month off with a pizza dinner. So much for healthy food so far if we do. LOL.

    Another slightly new scam to infect your computer is makin the rounds via compromised web sites.

    Loud, annoying screech and a pop-up box, in front of, and blocking reading of, a clearly fake System Warning that purports to be from the system, that can't be interacted with. The pop-up block presumably CAN be interacted with by clicking on the OK box, but I am not falling for that nonsense.The box says:
    This site says...

    Windows Firewall has detected that your Windows 10
    is damaged and irrelevant.

    As a result your system files are automatically deleted.

    Please follow the instructions to fix the problem
    immediately. This way you will ensure that your
    system is always protected.


    [OK]

    The SITE says this? Since when does a site that was supposed to just be presenting a news story give me system information that the SITE hasn't been given access to?

    My WINDOWS 10 SYSTEM, which is fine, by the way, isn't giving me any error message at all, and would not be presenting them to me in that manner even if it were.

    So...my firewall has not detected that my Windows 10 is damaged or irrelevant.

    IRRELEVANT? That's the best scary word you could come up with? How about infected, or compromised, or anything that actually sounds believable?

    And if my system files are deleted, then why is my system running just fine? No, I will not be following the instructions to fix the problem. Because there isn't one.

    There are a number of ways I can close this tab without actually clicking the tab or interacting with the attempt to actually infect my computer. I will simply take advantage of one of those, clear my cache, and move on thanks.

    Hey, if that works, don't knock it.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's supposed to get to 61 sunny degrees here, with no chance of precipitation.

    I haven't checked the official verdict from Punxsutawney Phil, but if I had a groundhog here, he would have seen his shadow for sure. All the same, I doubt we'll really have six "more" weeks of winter, since we haven't really had much of one so far. But with Mother Nature, one never knows, do one?

    I can show you my bloomers already!

    Usually crocus is the earliest to bloom so I am a bit surprised to see this Lenten rose jumping the gun. I don't see any buds yet on the white Lenten rose, but they may be hiding under the leaves. The daffodils are not for behind, with lots of buds swelling and likely to open any day now, and I can see some grape hyacinths popping up.

    Might get out to Kroger today to see if they have any of their weekend specials left. I got some on Friday morning, when the selection had not been picked over yet, so haven't missed out at all.

    Not all that into the superb owl, so I had superb chicken for Sunday dinner instead. :)

    Along with some home made jalapeño cornbread dressing, chicken gravy, and buttered peas.

    Hi Ed,
    What a day. Nothing wrong, just nothing falling into place as was expected. So today has been sorta discombobulated. Had a nice lunch after I finally got home from the gym...yes, I went.
    Chicken fried rice, (thanks WF), and also WF mushrooms from the hot bar. Broccoli and carrot steamed, and half a sweet potato. It was good, it was too much food, and the only fallout was some indigestion!! (which was deserved, right?) Your lunch looks delicious! Would love to know more about the cornbread. ????

    Going to watch the Super Bowl. I will pick the Chiefs, as we lived near KC, Mo, and Jack was born there. We lived there when KC was in I believe the 2nd Super Bowl. (if you're really interested you can fact check that!...I really just don't care!)
    Right now watching the evening national news...all I can do to not yell at the TV.

    I think my Lenten roses are really early...will try to remember to take a phone photo tomorrow. They are just short of full bloom, and so pretty. My spring crocus have 'disappeared', but the fall ones come back like little troopers. I really should pick some more of the flower parts and put them out to dry. Saffron is not cheap!!!

    Ok, I need to get my 'game' snacks together. Like open the bag of popped corn and the chips and the last of the Roasted Red Hummus. If that isn't quite sufficient, there is always peanut butter and crackers!! You can see I really knocked myself out over these snacks! LOL!

    Later...





    J and I made fried rice for his supper today. But just veggie and egg. I had leftover chicken, dressing, peas, and gravy.

    For THIS particular dressing I used one large white onion, chopped, with one 12 ounce bag of Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing crumbs, 1/2 bag of jalapeño hush puppies, thawed, and crumbled, half a stick of butter, and 32 ounces of chicken stock, a generous amount of extra rubbed sage, some extra poultry seasoning, and extra crushed rosemary (I LOVE rosemary), along with a generous sprinkle of coarsely ground black pepper. Baked at 350 for about an hour and 45 minutes. Delicious!

    While I didn't do it with this batch, I often make my own stuffing crumbs by making cornbread, using chicken stock for the liquid, and including all the onions, herbs and seasoning right in the cornbread, including jalapeño if I want it in this batch of stuffing. Then I add more onion and stock when I assemble the stuffing for baking, and more herbs and seasoning if needed.

    Enjoy the superb owl!

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It's supposed to get quite warm today, with no chance of precipitation. I need to get out for a few things and perhaps see about getting my second round on the Shingrix vaccination. And I need to catch Lilo soon for her fluid treatment.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! It's quite warm today, with 40% chance of rain. I need to give Lilo her shot shortly, and eat my breakfast.

    I finally got my lab results back from my January 23 visit to my endocrinologist. All my numbers looked good, and in particular my A1c came back at a NON-DIABETIC level of 5.6.

    This does not mean that I am not diabetic and it would still be a bad idea to eat a whole chocolate cake...but it does mean that, for now, my diabetes is very well managed!

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! And it may be wet Wednesday, but the forecast is showing Thursday to be even wetter. There are a few things I could use from Kroger but maybe they can wait until Friday...

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

    It was a rainy night in Georgia.

    I believe it's rainin' all over the world.

    We have flash flood warnings and we are supposed to have thunder storms and rain all day and possibly well into the night, with the temperature falling tonight. Well, it IS Thor's day, so I suppose one might think it's appropriate.

    Barring any sudden emergency, I don't plan to go anywhere today.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! A lot cooler today, but hopefully not so wet. I may get out for a grocery item or two.
