    I managed to get to PetSmart, buy stuff for the cats, and back home before the rain started so I call that a win!

    I won't need canned cat food now until next month and I am sure I am OK on kitty litter, and possibly on dry cat food.

    As I have been having trouble getting the kind of kibble the younger females eat, because my PetSmart seems to always be out lately, I have been ordering that online anyway. I may need more of that one before the month is out, but can wait a bit before ordering more.

    I am sure I have plenty of Lilo's prescription kibble and Orion's different prescription kibble.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! No walk today. It was beyond sticky out there, with not quite a drizzle, but definitely precipitation. I don't have windshield wipers on my glasses and think I would have shortly been walking blind if I had tried. While I was out there checking the weather, I did see someone braving the mist across the street to walk, and I didn't see any dog with them so I guess they were actually exercise walking in the mist.

    I am expecting a crate of 18 bottles of wine today, which will just about fill up my wine storage. If it arrives in time, I need to get to the vet to pick up Lilo's next bag of lactated ringer fluid for the next ten treatments.

    And, weather permitting, I would love to check out the new Lidl grocery that has opened not far from our Trader Joe's, as it is another European discount grocery that has migrated and is a growing chain. They claim that 80% of their product is their own branded stuff, but that they carry more name brands too, depending on the deals they can get, and that they are larger physical stores than Aldi and most Trader Joe's stores are. They are definitely here to compete with Aldi and Trader Joe's. They can't really match the convenience of an Aldi about half a mile from our house, but may become a welcome new option for us.

    Well, here's today's wine delivery. Now I have a good stock of some of my favorites, and a few that are relatively new to me. My wine storage is full except for ONE HOLE. If that really bothers me, I can fill it by buying a bottle at Lidl if I get a chance to go there. I would like to see if their wine is any good anyway.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Warm and sticky again, and a chance of p.m. rain. When the breeze moves, it is surprisingly pleasant, despite the high humidity.

    I am going to try to get to Lidl in a while and see how that grocery looks. And I may buy that one bottle of wine that will fill the wine storage to capacity. Maybe two, and open one tonight.

    Today's wine purchases that will put me over capacity on wine storage (but not by very much and not for long) purchased at Lidl, an Aldi-like grocery, but with a bit more name brand stuff.

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It was a bit sticky out, as usual, this morning but despite that I saw several other walkers on my way around. Yesterday I saw a trio jogging in the heat of the afternoon, as they jogged by right across the street from our house. Even if I still had the knees for it, there is no way I would be out in that heat and sun, jogging.

    I did finally get that laundry folded a couple of days ago and haven't put more in yet, but soon.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! It's the usual warm and sticky out there, and supposed to get pretty hot today. I may go and spend a teensy bit more time in Lidl, as the last time I didn't really take time to properly browse.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! The cats actually let me sleep in this morning, and that's fine because I am taking the day off. I am not going to human today, I am going to cat. That definitely includes eating and napping.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous sizzling Sunday! It's supposed to get pretty darn hot this afternoon, with a decent chance of rain, and continue to get hot every day for a while. Well, we did decide to live in Georgia and here we are. I could take the heat better when I was younger, but still didn't really like it.

    I feel like the kids are happy to get whatever food granny send along, and what kid doesn't like popcorn? It's not the most nutritious food, but it's nice that they get a fun snack or dessert now and then too.

    I might do some laundry today, and hope to get a nap in.

    Not at all sure that the sponsor for this first vid is terribly appropriate for a food video but I did really want to see how well making egg replacer from pumpkin seeds worked for him.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It was terribly sticky out, but not terribly hot as yet so I did my walk and felt drenched by the time I got home. I will be rehydrating for a while yet, no doubt. I have had one mug of tea, and a large glass of water, with three mugs of tea to go, two 20 ounce PowerAde Zero drinks, and additional water as the day progresses. Perhaps today I will do some laundry, if I can get it started early enough to not be running the dryer too much in the heat of the afternoon.

    Howdy all y'all. It's going to be another hot one! I got some house cleaning done yesterday, and I actually got the laundry washed, dried AND folded and put away, all on the same day, yesterday.

    But you don't need to wonder who I am and what I have done with Ed. I assure you it was an aberration and I am still me. LOL.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 60% chance of rain today, but not too bad out as yet. It will be ever so slightly cooler this afternoon, but climbing back up tomorrow and into the weekend.

    I haven't opened any of the wines from Lidl as yet, but I made careful selections there and want to be sure I make good food pairings with them. If I make the chicken and dumplings (or lazy packaged noodles) I am pondering for tonight, I may open the Gewürztraminer.

    Not a lot on the agenda today.

    Well I went the lazy route, since I remembered I had some kluski or spaetzle noodles in the cabinet. The chicken and noodles, with carrots, was delicious and there is plenty for another meal or three. The wine went well with the food.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! It's another heavy, sticky day out there. I do need to get out to Publix to pick up a couple of prescriptions. While there I might as well pick up a few things we are low on, like butter, eggs, milk...

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous muggy Monday! Another hot, sticky summer day here. It's supposed to get to 93 today.

    I do need a few things from the grocery, but I am trying to hold off until Wednesday. Nothing is desperate, as we can live without certain cereals for a few days, and nothing is at critical levels as yet. We'll see how that looks tomorrow. LOL.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's warm out there, and rather sticky. I went to Kroger early to get in during senior shopping hours and that is the extent of my exercise today. My wallet got a good workout anyway...

    Late breakfast on returning, and I am having the rest of my pot of tea now. Might do a little more house cleaning today. I swear Orion sheds enough fur to knit a couple more cats. Well, that's a long haired cat for you. LOL.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sensational Saturday! A little cooler today with a good chance of afternoon or evening rain. It's already a bit sticky out there.

    Might get a little laundry done, and then there is an online service for a friend back in Memphis, who died suddenly on Monday. In better times I would have travelled to attend, but they ask that physical attendance be left to close family and caregivers, which will allow room for proper social distancing.

    He had a number of health issues, but he will no longer have to suffer with any of those. It's nice that the church will set up an online meeting space so we can all attend without any danger.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! And, again, it's a little bit cooler today. Once again, though, the dewpoint, current temperature (which is at the dewpoint), and 100% humidity conspired to make it a very damp, sticky feeling morning. I can take that better at the current temperature of 69 degrees than at higher temperatures, to be sure!

    The service yesterday, for my friend, was short and sweet. We got Chinese delivery for supper, as I did not feel like cooking, so I guess I am having Szechuan beef for either lunch or dinner today as well.

    I have the dishwasher started, and may do some laundry later.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Warm and sticky, as per usual, but I don't have to get back out there immediately.

    There IS a grocery run in my near future though...possibly tomorrow. I actually got my laundry all done yesterday, but only because I happened to be getting a glass of water in the kitchen, adjacent to the laundry room, when I heard the dryer stop, and I wasn't in the middle of anything so decided I'd best get on in there, fold, and put away before it slipped my mind.

    That laundry would still be in the dryer otherwise, I can assure you.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! I have been to Kroger but still need to get out to the vet to pick up Lilo's next bag of Ringer fluid, and may stop at Lidl while out again. I was at Kroger very early to avoid crowds, but the vet and Lidl aren't open that early.

    Good chance of rain today, and a little bit cooler, so sounds like it may be a good day for a nap!

    Lidl is not far, though a tad further than Aldi, and I made it to Lidl and back, in 20 minutes, getting there just after they opened at 8:00.

    My main goal was their veggie burgers (comparable to Garden Burger original) as I forgot them yesterday. It would have been less than 20 minutes if I hadn't forgotten where the veggie burgers were in the freezer section. I looked all up and down one aisle, twice, looking on both sides, and forget that they had another aisle with one side of frozen bins.

    Of course the veggie burgers were in the other aisle. I feel proud to have escaped having spent only $25 plus a bit of change. I got the veggie burgers, of course, and got pizza for tomorrow's "pizza and a show night out at home" and found a few other items that looked interesting, and not terribly expensive, in frozen foods. and think I have dinner tonight covered from today's shopping too.

    I saw one man with a cart pretty full. He must have the store memorized and know exactly what he wanted, to fill the cart that quickly. Fortunately, neither he, nor any of the other few shopper, were in line so there was no wait for my checkout.
