Well, bills are paid. Back still hurts. Kittens not upset at being upset, still in my chair. Guess I should vacuum my bedroom carpet. The tree in the back yard gets sucking insects and towards the end of summer when the leaves start to fall there's a layer of stickiness all over the back yard. The backyard is where I take Misty when she needs to go outside, so I take my shoes off when I come back inside (due to the layers of stickiness on the bottoms), but Misty can't take off her feet, she she carries the stickiness - dead grass and leaves - into the house and into the bedroom. I can't do anything about the tree because there are three very nice, large tortoises living under it. So I just have to put up with the stickiness.
I even put a really scruffy mat outside for wiping feet...

Oh my.... is it possible?? Wait- most anything is possible, I have one that’s living proof of that. I thought starting over in my 30’s was bad.. I’ll pray for you!!! A stomach virus might not be a bad thing.. LOL
My thoughts exactly..thank God it's that time of year.

Good evenooning all. Just to let you know I am feeling better and returning to the rescue tomorrow.

Yvonne I hope you are more mobile tomorrow
Oh sorry you were so sick that you couldn't do the rescue. That's hard. You might miss something too cute.

Good morning I hop everyone wakes up feeling much better today. It’s a very cold 20 degrees (f) here this morning.. it’s a rare dry cold for us though so it doesn’t feel to bad. Looks like sunshine ahead and a high of 50.. I’ll be working mostly outdoors today and I think I’m looking forward to it. Cinder has proven to be a wonderful companion and is doing well learning all the things a puppy should.. oddly enough, she barks a lot when she wants something. Not sure if this is something she will outgrow but it’s not a habit that is common in her breed... mostly, I find it cute and endearing but when your trying to enjoy a snack it’s a bit annoying

Cinder is sooo cute. I know she takes the chill off. Today is being our warm up day instead of record breaking cold like the past 2 days. It's 36°f and dropping but better then it was.

I'm considering setting up at a local "trade days" to see if any of my artwork will sell. This would be the first time I have actively tried to sell my art. It makes me nervous..
I haven't called to rent a spot yet, cause I know that once I do I'm committed to putting myself out there
Go for it. You will never know unless you try.

Woe is me. . . I just realized that yesterday was the second Wednesday of the month, hence, I received my SS check and that means I should have paid bills yesterday. But I didn't. If I hurry, I can still get it done before the 15th, but, alas and alack, this is what my lap looks like:

and my back hurts because I went shopping this a.m., so I'm stuck here in my chair. Woe is me!
Oh dear. Can you not pay your bills online by EFT ?

Teach Misty to wipe her paws at the door.

I wanted one of those pink banana trees but I was too scared to have one shipped. I did get small (regular) tree that had propagated off of a large one that my mother had. I feel like it may have gotten a late start but the conditions are the same I dug it out of.. guess I’ll know next spring..
Good Luck

Whahaha, I will take the stomach virus any day. Not that I don't like children, just that I have had two already and want some me time eventually, that would never happen if we had to have another one. And they are expensive.

And all caught up again.

TFG it is Friday. Although when my alarm went off this morning, I woke up thinking it was Saturday and why was my alarm going off? ..... Then I realised that it was only Friday and I still had to go to work, What a disappointment that was. :D

Look what we are having here in Cape Town in 21 days time. I want to go and have a look see.
