Hi Potties - A king-sized HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our very special Max. Wishing you many, many more.
Spent the day watching sports, starting with the rescheduled NASCAR race at 12:30. Was looking forward to watching the Atlanta United soccer game until I learned all 4 channels carrying the game had no-one doing it in English. I called DirecTV & fussed; asked the tech to put in a feedback that no English commentary in such a large market as Atlanta was no way to grow the fan base. Guess it was just as well I didn't waste the time watching since it turned out to be our 1st loss after 4 wins in a row.
Since I couldn't watch the soccer game, I ran over to the old house for about an hour. I got together a medium sized bag of trash & an small assortment of "stuff" to bring back home for cleaning. Some will go to the booth, the rest divided between the family & me. The china cabinet on top of a 9-drawer chest is listing further & further forward. It won't surprise me if I walk in one day & find it on the floor. I'm trying to move things it might land on to a safer place.
Came back home to watch the main NASCAR race. It was pretty incident free until the very end - nothing new for a super-speedway race. There was a driver Bear had started following a couple of years ago who was in contention for the win until the late race "big one". He got outrun on the final restart & ended up 2nd. Still quite an achievement for he & his team. I'll be sure & mention it when I write Bear later tonight. I'm not sure he'll have a clue what I'm talking about, but hope springs eternal.
I talked with Erin at the home early Fri. & learned they had adjusted Bear's meds to cut down on disruptive behavior & it seemed to be helping. He fell earlier in the week so they've ordered him a wheelchair since he's gotten weak enough that maintaining his balance has become an issue. She also told me they've put a mattress on the floor beside his bed in case he should fall - he's decided he's more comfortable on the one on the floor & the general consensus is he can sleep anywhere he feels safe!Katie - the salad sounds really good. Fake lobster is better than no lobster at all!
Haven't heard from Selena lately but they're still settling in the new house. They finally got set up for DirecTV last week & all of them are really happy to have TV NOT on their I-Pads.
Still having slow sales at the booth - steady but mostly small items that don't bring many $$$'s. Not going to complain since every sale means an item can come out of the one of the houses. I want to bring some of Bear's really nice carnival bowls here but since I want to put them on the wall it means I need hangers for multiple plates. I'd hoped for 4 vertical spaces & have only found horizontal ones at the old house. I didn't remember to check those in the master bedroom today so will try & do that on my next trip. If none are available, I'll have to see how many 3 space ones I can squeeze into the spaces I have available.
Haven't seen Cyclops much today but I'll bet the minute I start cleaning the cat room & serving supper he'll be front & center. The surgery had no effect at all on his appetite.
I finally was able to sneak up on Goblin with her dose of flea drops. That just leaves Smoke to dose & he hasn't chosen to drop by for the past few days. I'm glad I'd ordered enough for the 8 cats I had at the time - the dose that was programmed for poor Peaches will protect Smoke instead.
Getting near time to feed the land sharks & need to run the dishwasher with the things I brought home from the old house. I may make a run by the booth on Mon. & some of these things are aimed for there.
Everybody take care & hope the coming weather doesn't affect any of you. Later.
Susan
