Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 3C/37F with an expected high of 7C/44F and 80% chance of precipitation.
I need to do all the usual stuff and may venture out for a few groceries.
Yesterday was just miserable. It was cold and rainy all day with intermittent thunder, some of it quite loud.
Still slowly eating the fudge I made for Valentine's day. J is eating a lot more of it than I am. I deliberately cut it into very small, bite size squares to make my portion control easier.
Breakfast was bacon and oatmeal.

Good morning!
So far my day has gone: Tom E. whining outside my very closed bedroom door...at about 6:30 a. Nope..finally I 'emerged' from my room and there he came across the living room...So fed Tom E. but he was right on my heels..let him out...even though it was not 'drizzling'..he was out, and back in before I could even get my coffee, banana, blueberry oatmeal to my desk...and there he was........ ETC.
I have a dishwasher to unload, and a load of clothes in the dryer, and that may be my 'work' for the day.
Surprised my oldest son didn't disown me. I set my phone on Do Not Disturb...while at Dr. Pat's...and forgot to take it off when I left Pat's...Jack called 3 different times... So, he was already home when I realized what I'd done. (and not for the first time either!) We had a quick call and will talk to him on Thursday afternoon!
Watched the make your own catsup this morning. Sorta smirking. Yes, he did save money over the expensive jar of catsup...but I believe he broke even on the grocery store bottle. What really cracked me up was he started with tomato paste...really?
When I lived in VA I learned to make the best catsup, starting with whole tomatoes. (had a big garden then)...and it was not thick like store bought catsup, but was SOOOO good. Took some time to make, while the tomatoes cooked, etc.
If I manage to come by a large bunch of ripe tomatoes I just might make more this summer! Any time I remember a recipe for 50 years...you can bet it was good!
Rainy drizzle, gray and none too warm. A great day to stay home!
Oh, he's back...ok... its kitty time.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 34 degrees. The moon was semi visible due to clouds.

The weather yesterday was a forecast. When I went out the door walking this morning I wore my insulated Waterproof Boots with a nicely aggressive tread. I will say that they are much heavier than what I usually wear so on my return home I sat and rested for a while before getting on here.
I am not going today to CostCo as I have one days worth of something I use including Paper Goods and Frozen Vegetables, therefore CostCo tomorrow giving things a chance to dry up as the snow melts due to the forecast high in the 50s.
At least we did not have Thunder only snow from midmorning to when we both decided to retire a little early.
Small Portions works...
You have described a part of one of my brothers breakfasts. Bacon cooked then onions and egg added as well as Steel Cut Oatmeal cooked with some Cinnamon.

Crazy Cat being his usual self from the sound of it
I really should do some laundry before I run out, I'm down to opening a new pair of socks and a one day supply of Pocket T-Shirts
The only way I know of, OK two ways to not have my phone bother me is turn it off or turn the volume down to Zero while turning off t the Vibrate function. I have it set to vibrate since it lives in a pocket and otherwise I could miss a call.
I have not watched that video yet, I have to wonder why do it now when in the summer You can buy bargain priced Fresh Tomatoes, especially at a roadside farm stand. Maybe the Ketchup You made needed more time simmering to thicken ?Watched the make your own catsup this morning. Sorta smirking.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 6C/43F with an expected high of 17C/62F and 60% chance of precipitation.

Hey Guys!
Home. Got up dressed, fed cat, coffee to go, banana in hand. Drove to ATL to Ted's house, and he and I went to St. Farm...they called yesterday, and had my check and paperwork on the old Fit...I came straight to my bank out here and deposited my check...Will pay a visit to Honda next week and apply that to my car loan. Then in April or May I'll just go ahead and pay the remainder of the balance.
Saw my next door neighbors when I got home. Was really happy to see them Their eldest graduates from High School this spring, and he's been accepted to college! So proud of that kid. I've watched him grow up since he was not even 2 years old! Got to thank them for the bouquets of flowers that the girls brought over, and a big container of the best blueberries...yum!
I'm eating my lunch...its 2:30, and after lunch, its nap time. And the sun is trying to come out....hmmm! I would love to see the sunshine. But leg is tired, so I think it gets to have a rest...priorities ya know!!!
Roger I hope you get that laundry done! Sounds like you've waited for the last minute! Not that I haven't done the same sometimes.
Ed...hope you're out now in the semi sunny weather, and weren't out this morning in the foggy, drizzle, and rain like I was!

Somewhat lazy dinner for tonight. Sort of a fusion of Spanish and East Indian stew.
I put a can of garbanzos, a can of diced tomatoes, a small diced onion, a minced large clove of garlic, some herbs, some East Indian spices, some potatoes, diced large, and a little olive oil all into a Crock Pot to cook for 4 to 6 hours on low.
And it made this delicious dish!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 34 degrees. The moon was semi visible due to clouds. The Temperature yesterday was in the 50s and today is forecast to be in the upper 40s.
I ended up doing the laundry and folding it yesterday, Probably I will get the clothes put away today.
I am going today to CostCo as I have one days worth of items we use including Paper Goods and Frozen Vegetables.

If I said for a insurance company that counts as speedy, To me if they had to pay a surcharge per day until they settle up then they would actually be speedy. As long as You can afford to pay the car loan off without financial hurt.
