Saturday and Lunch at Gabbies

I slept pretty well last night. I was only up once in the night and got up and took my meds. I finally got up at 5:00AM, dressed and made my bed and got myself ready for the day.. I fixed my Chai Latte and a breakfast bar and opened the front door to find Blondie and the other smaller blond cat waiting for their breakfasts. I took it out to them and an extra bowl for one of the other cats that come later.

Then I caught "the weather on the 8's" too and so today we are to be 52 degrees  and sunny, Sunday we are to be 51 degrees and mostly sunny, Monday is to be 56 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 55 degrees and mostly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 54 degrees and mostly cloudy, Thursday is to be 56 degrees and mostly cloudy and Friday is to be 53 degrees and AM showers. One day of rain...if we get it.

More Later...I want to go drink my Chai Latte.

I got that finished and now I want to go to the library this morning after 8:00AM and get a couple of different books to  read. It's only 7:47AM now so I have a little wait.

It's 10:47AM now and I have been reading in one of the library books I got checked out today. It isn't exactly one of the most interesting ones I have read but I have barely started it. Maybe it will get better.

I called Sally to see if she wanted to have lunch at Gabby's. She did. I will pick her up at noon. And we will see what Gabby has to eat today.

More Even Later 

We ate taco soup and it was good.

When I got home  I read awhile and then e-mailed all my classmates I could reach by e-mail. Some came back. They have either moved or died. At 88 years old that is always a possibility.

It's 10:24 PM now and way past my bedtime!

I'd better get to bed. Now..and tomorrow I will be making my coffeecake for the breakfast at church.

 

Friday and a Trip to Bartlesville with My Daughter

I slept fairly well last night and was up at 5:00AM, made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. I had a bit of warmed up coffeecake with my Chai Latte for my breakfast.

When I opened the front door both yellow cats were there waiting for their breakfasts. When I took it out to them, the little grey cat joined them and all three ate the dry and wet cat food. 

I also caught "the weather on the 8's".

Today is to be 65 degrees and showers, Saturday is to be 51 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 51 degrees and mostly sunny, Monday is to be 56 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 55 degrees and mostly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 54 degrees and cloudy, and Thursday is to be 55 degrees and mostly cloudy. So again, only one day of raid forecast and that's today. We really need even more rain. But it's not in the forecast.

Leslie, my daughter, is going to pick me up later this morning and we will go to Bartlesville where she will get an oil change for her car. We will have lunch while that is being done. 

It's 6:01AM now.

More Later.... 

She came right on time and we went to Bartlesville where she had her oil changed.  It took awhile so we had lunch at a real good pizza place nearby. When they finally finished. We came on back to my place. She had bought the descaling solution for my Keurig.and spent a lot of time cleaning it up and getting a new filter put in it too. It should work like brand new now. It was a real mess. I had lost the directions to cleaning it up in my move and was never able to find it. So it needed to be cleaned up very badly.

Then she told me to go up to City Hall and get free water. The policeman even loaded it in my car. I wasn't able to get it out because it was too heavy.  But when Stephen, my landlord, comes Monday evening to fix the water for my bath so that it's warm and I won't have to add hot water from my sink to my bath water. I will ask him to get that water out of my car.

It's 5:27PM now and I want to go watch the 5:30 CBS news now.

Thursday and Some Rain

 I was up at 5:00AM this morning..didn't sleep so well. I opened the door to the two yellow cats this morning. I fixed their breakfasts and they ate, got their fill and left. The other four haven't shown up yet.

But I did catch "the weather on the 8's" . Today is to be 66 degrees and partly cloudy and wind. tomorrow is to be 66 degrees and PM showers, Saturday is to be 52 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 49 degrees and mostly sunny, Monday is to be 56 degrees and partly cloudy, Tuesday is to be 55 degrees and mostly cloudy, and Wednesday is to be 54 degrees and AM cloudy PM sun...only one day of rain and that is Friday (tomorrow).  Well that's something at least!

I read all morning and finished the book I checked out at the Coffeyville Library on Wednesday. I will return it next Wednesday. Twice the two blond cats came and ate more food The little black and white one came too and tried to finish off the cat food. 

I had mixed up my two prescriptions and the pharmacist at Caney Drug got them fixed. I had the two of them in the wrong bottles. I had them both out yesterday and got them mixed up. I only take the two prescriptions so nothing was a problem except that should not have happened.

I called Sally and asked her if she wanted to have lunch at the Dairy Queen in Independence. She did. I told her I would pick her up at noon. I am sure we will have their $7.00 special.  We usually do.

I also found magnetic calendars at Amazon and ordered one. I attach them to my refrigerator door. I have bought them for years. I get two years for $9.00. I am supposed to get them on Saturday. I am so happy to have found one at Amazon. I have looked at all the Wal Marts in the area. There were none with magnets.

I just talked to my daughter and she will pick me up at 10:30 or 11:00 tomorrow and take me with her to Bartlesville to get her oil changed. We will have lunch while we wait. She is going to have it done at Tate Boy's downtown location.

 More Even Later... 

I had the two Blond cats come back for some supper. The white one showed up too. So I also fed it.

Then I picked up a couple of bags for leaves in front of the front door and put them in the trash receptacle.

Then at 7:00PM I took my bath. I have to put two large pitchers of hot water from the kitchen sink in the bath water. It doesn't get hot enough water in the tub..just warm water. Adding two large pitchers of hot sink water helps a lot. At least the water is warm, though not hot.

I will read in a book until my 9:00PM bedtime. I am re-reading "Saving Jesus from the Church. How to Stop Worshiping Christ and Start Following Jesus" by Robin R. Meyers. We studied that in Church School class several years ago. It made very good sense. Good enough to re-read it.

Perhaps More Later Tomorrow.....

Wednesday and Bunco

I slept very well last night and was up at 5:00AM, made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. 

When I opened the front door, two cats were out thee waiting for their breakfast. I need to get went cat food again today. I used all I had this morning. I have dry cat food but no wet cat food.

I did manage to catch "the weather on the 8's". Both blond cats and the grey one were out there waiting for me to set their food out there.

Today is to be 59 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 67 degrees and partly cloudy and windy, Friday is to be 65 degrees and cloudy, Saturday is to be 47 degrees and mostly cloudy, Sunday is to be 50 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 56 degrees and sunny and Tuesday is to be 54 degrees and mostly cloudy. That's the next week...no rain again. And we desperately need rain.  

More Later..

 

Tuesday and Cookies

 I slept well last night and was up at 5:15AM, made my bed, dressed, and got myself ready for the day.

When I opened the front door, there were no cats out there but I picked up their bowls and brought them in to be filled with food. Then I put them back out there. Soon I opened the door again and the two yellow cats and the grey one were out there eating their breakfasts. The white one and the black and white one are not out there yet. They will be along a little later...after these are finished and gone.

I will go up to Independence this morning about 9:30AM to take the cookies to the First Christian Church there. They will serve a meal at noon to anyone who needs food at no cost at all to them. The Independence churches have been doing that for almost eight years now.

I did catch "the weather on the 8's" Today is to be 54 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 58 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 67 degrees and partly cloudy and windy, Friday is to be 68 degrees and cloudy, Saturday is to be 48 degrees and cloudy, Sunday is to be 50 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 55 degrees and sunny. That's the week...no rain in the forecast and we badly need rain.

More Later... 

I got to Independence and stopped at the market to buy the cookies.  Then at 9:30AM, I drove across the street and called the pastor with my horn. One long blast and two short ones. ..my usual way of getting him to come open the kitchen door. No one was at the kitchen door. I got his answering machine and left a message. No one got back to me.  I tried again and a woman showed up from the all purpose room. She took the cookies and then I went out to their Wal Mart and left my plastic bottles in the container for recycling.

Then I came home. 

I read awhile and then tried  to call Sally but she didn't answer. I tried two times but I think she must be doing her weekly shopping somewhere.

So  I will eat by myself this time.

More Later ...

I did eat by myself this time and I ordered a piece of German Chocolate pie and my usual cup of vegetable beef soup. I put half of the pie in a box to bring home. As I was getting ready to pay for my lunch a young man moved up in the line and took my ticket and paid for my lunch. Then as I was leaving, my son in law was just coming in. I told him if I knew he was going to eat at Copan Truck Stop, I would have waited and eaten with him. 

When I was driving home, the pastor of the First Christian church called me back. He told me they would not need any more cookies until the second Tuesday in January.

When I got home the little white cat was waiting for me to put some of the dry cat food in one of the the dishes out front. I had filled both dry cat food dishes. Then as I was coming back in the house the little black and white cat came to eat some of what I had just put in the  other dish.

I think they are getting plenty to eat...morning, noon and sometimes evening too. 

More Even Later...

Monday and Apartment Cleaning

 I was up at 4:45AM this morning but I had slept well ...for a change. I have made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day..Then I opened the front door to find Blondie and the smaller yellow cat waiting for their breakfasts. The little grey cat was there almost immediately so I fed it too.

I also caught "the  weather on the 8's". Today is to be 56 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 53 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is too be 57 degrees and mostly sunny, Thursday is to be 67 degrees and  partly cloudy and windy, Friday is to be 69 degrees and mostly cloudy, Saturday is to be 49 degrees and showers, and Sunday is to be 50 degrees and sunny. That's the week...it looks like one day of rain on Saturday. That's something. It's better then nothing. 

More Later... 

I got the apartment cleaned and vacuumed and the vacuum is charging again.

I will go out front to take the trash back next to the garages. The white cat is out there eating now.

The vacuum finished charging and the laundry is in the dryer now.  

I went over to Coffeyville earlier for my 10:45AM appointment at the  Board of Health. I got my third shot for Covid 19. I went to Eggbert's and had their fruit parfait for my lunch. I went out to the Woodshed and filled my car gas tank with gas.  Then I came on home. I have been reading again. Now it's 55 degrees and it's sunny.

More Even Later...

 
Soon I will take my bath. It is pretty cool in this apartment.

Sunday and Church

 I was lying in the bed this morning, thinking of getting up when the doorbell rang. It was 4:58AM so I got up and put my robe on and went to the door. By the time I got there, no one was there except Blondie and the grey cat and I knew they hadn't rung the doorbell. I was already up so I just stayed up and took the cat food out to them. Every once in awhile, that happens. Maybe twice a year. It's a mystery to me. There has never been anyone there when I open the door... except the cats.

I will get dressed and get myself ready for church but will begin by making my coffee cake. I take that each week for the breakfast at church.

More Later...I want to get dressed. 

I got dressed and got myself ready for the day. I have the coffee cake in the oven and not far from being ready. I also fed two cats. 

I also caught "the weather on the 8's".

Today is to be 57 degrees and partly cloudy, tomorrow is to be 57 degrees too except sunny,  Tuesday is to be 56 degrees and cloudy, Wednesday is to be 59 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 69 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 68 degrees and partly cloudy and windy, and Friday is to be 69 degrees and AM cloudy and PM sun. Saturday is to be 58 degrees and partly cloudy.

That's it! No rain in the week's forecast
