Hi Potties! My life must be less exciting than I realized since I haven't had much to write about for over a week.
Katie - For some reason I didn't realize you weren't getting any rain. I'd be happy to send you one night of that we've gotten in the last few days. I think we could spare some.
Seems like you were closer to the Towers on 9/11 than anyone else I know. As vivid as the memory is for those of us who had little or no physical connection to the area, I can't imagine what the memories must be like for those of you who had a more direct connection.
Are you getting or have you gotten a new car? I thought y'all had a Subaru.Gordon - I suspect you get a lot more exercise than most of us thanks to the puppies. My pulmonary Dr. mentioned exercise the last time I saw her but other than taking care of the critters & the plants on both decks I'm pretty sedentary. A heavy day's exercise for me nowadays is when I vacuum the entire house or blow the trash off both decks.
Max - For some reason I didn't realize we were in for more rain after Nicholas wandered through. Tonight the weather guesser was indicating we'll be seeing showers thru this coming Wed. so I won't plan on a lot of yard work in the next few days. I took advantage of no rain during the day on Sat. to get the current batch of burn paper out of the way.
What sort of flu shot are you referring to, the old annual kind or Covid? I've never done the "regular" shot but I'm ready to get in line the first of the week for a Covid booster. I need to call Bear's home & see if they're making plans to give boosters to their residents or if I need to request that they give him one. With his health issues & age he should be at or near the top of the list.
With all the flooding in most of the country in recent months, I wouldn't even consider a used car. I am still interested in the Santa Cruz & may stop by the local Hyundai dealer one day this coming week if/when I'm out.
Rain tends to make me sleepy so with the nearly constant rain of recent weeks I've been like a hibernating bear. Guess I'm in a contest with the cats to see who can sleep the most .We had quite a scare this past week - Zac was looking for our neighbor Dennis for some reason on Wed. & just happened to find him in an area where Dennis had been using a bulldozer. Seems a miracle that Zac found him 'cause Dennis had turned the bulldozer over & was fairly badly hurt. As of Fri. AM the hospital report was that Dennis had broken some of the "wings" on his vertebra (luckily not the main part of the vertebra), had broken a few ribs & the most serious injury was a cut on one leg that was to the bone on the back of the leg & took 35 stitches, as well as involving the front of the same leg & needing 12 staples. If Zac hadn't found him & gotten help quickly, Dennis might have bled to death - the hospital said his blood pressure was dangerously low when he got to the emergency room. We don't know yet how long Dennis will be on restricted activity but since he's one of those folks who can't be inactive, I suspect recovery will be aggravating for him. I'm just grateful we didn't lose him.
Selena Anne is still rotating between her old house & the new one. She's getting closets added & getting heat & a/c routed to the basement at the new house. She moved some of her grandmother's iris from her old house to the new one this week. Seems like she never has a minute to spare. She has a cat with mental issues similar to my Sunny but recently he's been sitting in her lap while she watches TV. I've told her he must be in telepathic contact with my Cyclops who has, in the past 10 days, started getting in my lap when I'm watching TV & snuggling up to my back when I go to sleep. Neither of us is complaining but we do wonder what prompted these boys to start acting so cuddly out of nowhere.
Sales at the booth are pretty slow but at least there are sales taking place. As long as things go out of the booth, I can move things from either house or the storage space & that's a good thing. I'm trying to concentrate on the storage space in hopes of being able to move to a smaller (i.e., cheaper) space in the near future. When Aunt Dorothy closed out her Miami apartment all those years ago, things just got put in boxes willy-nilly so until I sort thru everything I won't know when I have all of every piece of glass or china. Some will go to the booth & some to Goodwill but it will take time to do everything. My main concern is her collection of Irish Belleek - I need a small curio to hold it & right now have no room for another curio. Luckily I have nothing to spend time on but sorting out these issues. I'm not sure what she had so I have no way of knowing if her "accountant" helped himself to anything while he had access to her storage area. I suspect he did but no way of knowing so I just try not to think about it.
Time to feed the zoo so will go for tonight. Everybody take care. Later.
Susan
