Saturday and Laundry

 I slept very well last night. I woke up once but went right back to sleep until 6:20AM. That's the best sleep I've had in weeks. 

I made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. When I opened the front door, Blondie was there waiting for his breakfast so I took it out to him. He ate and left. 

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

Today is to be 54 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 42 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 42 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 46 degrees and cloudy, Wednesday is to be 46 degrees and  mostly sunny, Thursday is to be 44 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 47 degrees and cloudy. That's the week...no rain...just lots of cloudy!

More Later... 

I called Sally to ask her if she wanted to go to Copan for lunch and she did. I picked her up at noon and we drove down there and had a cup of beef vegetable soup and split a piece of German Chocolate pie. It was very good.

When I got home yesterday I went to the library and checked out two more books. 

I read them both yesterday and today and will return them on Monday.

I am doing a load of laundry, Now it is in the dryer. 

It's nearly 7:00PM and I just had my bath. I will go to bed about 9:00PM.

Friday and Reading Again

I slept fairly well last night but was up an hour or so reading because I could not sleep. Finally I went back to bed and finally got back to sleep..I slept until 5:00AM this time.

When I finally got up to read again, I opened the front door to find Blondie waiting for his breakfast. I got it for him and he dug into it.

Soon I also had "the weather on the 8's". I took a photo of that and brought it in the den here to post it on this blog;

Today is to be 45 degrees and AM cloudy and PM sun, Saturday it is to be 53 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 42 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 41 degrees and partly cloudy, Tuesday is to be 45 degrees and cloudy, Wednesday is to be 45 degrees and  partly cloudy, Thursday is to be 41 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week...lots of partly cloudy but no rain.

More Later..

Thursday and Another Trip to Independence for Lunch

I slept well last night and was up at 4:30AM. Now it's 5:21AM and I opened the door to no cats...at least not yet 

I did catch "the weather on the 8's" .

Today is supposed to be 41 degrees and cloudy, tomorrow is to be 48 degrees and AM clouds and PM sun, Saturday is to be  32 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 46 degrees and cloudy, Monday is to be 40 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 44 degrees and mostly cloudy, and Wednesday is to be 43 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week! No rain again. And we could really use some more rain.

More Later... 

Blondie finally showed up for his breakfast and the small grey cat did too.

I sat and read the first book until I finished it. I took it back to the library drop box before I went to pick up Sally for lunch.

We went to the Dairy Queen for their chicken strips and french fries.. and, of course, the hot fudge sundae. As usual, it was very good!

 When we finished lunch  I took her home. Then I came home.

Then later I started the second book...so More Later...   

It's almost 7:00PM so I will go take my bath and get myself ready for bed. I will read some more before I go to bed. If I go to bed too early, I don't sleep well.

Wednesday and a Hair Apointment

I slept pretty well last night and was up at 5:00AM as usual. I made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. When I first opened the front door, there were no cats there. But the next time, after I set out the cat food, the little grey cat showed up and is eating. I don't see any of the others yet. But I did catch "the weather on the 8's".

Today is to be 39 degrees and  cloudy,  Thursday is to be 44 degrees and AM clouds and PM sun, Friday is to be 48 degrees and AM clouds and PM sun, Saturday is to be 49 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 42 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 39 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be  43 degrees and  mostly cloudy. Again, no rain in the forecast..just lots of cloudy weather. That gets me through the week. We could sure use some more rain.

I left for Coffeyville and my hair appointment at 8:15AM. Then I came on back home. Then I went to Copan Restaurant and bought some soup and some pie. Finally I went to the library and got two more books to read. At 7:16PM, I took my bath and put my pajamas on and will go back to the book again until later this evening closer to 9:00PM when I will go on to bed.

 

Tuesday and Cleaning the Apartment

I was up shortly before 5:00AM this morning but I had slept well. I fixed myself some Chai Latte and a breakfast bar for breakfast. I checked outdoors a couple of times but no cats were out there yet. It's not quite 6:00AM yet so it may be awhile before any come. It's only 30 degrees and out there so it will be cold for them.

I put away most of my Christmas decorations last evening. I took the boxes to the garage and stacked them in the corner where the water tank is closeted. I have a few odds and ends still out in the apartment. I see 5 little Santa men on the shelves in here, I will gather them up after awhile along with a candle or two and box them up and label the boxes too and take them to the garage. I did catch "the weather on the 8's" for the day.

Today is to be 44 degrees and cloudy, Wednesday is to be 40 degrees and mostly cloudy. Thursday is to be  43 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be  46 degrees and mostly sunny, Saturday is to be 50 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 46 degrees and  partly cloudy, Monday is to be 40 degrees and mostly sunny. That's the week! No rain again and we still need some more!

Finally, the little grey cat came to eat. It's 7:38AM and he/she is the only one who has come for their breakfast.Usually the little white one comes and of course the two yellow cats , Blondie and his yellow friend. But I haven't seen either of them this morning. I put both dry and wet cat food out there for them.

I got the rest of the Christmas decorations put away and in boxes and stacked in the garage.

More Even Later.. 

I didn't see any of the other cats come to eat. And that is strange. Usually at least Blondie will come to eat. I hope nothing has happened to him.

I got the apartment cleaned and vacuumed again this morning. I didn't see any more big cockroaches today. I killed a small one last night and one of it's legs came off and I got a napkin and picked that up and put it in the trash. I imagine some of the cockroach survived because it ran under the table that has my Alexa sitting on it. I tried to move it away from the wall. But it was too heavy. I imagine that cockroach may have gone ahead and died later since it had lost a leg. Stephen said they didn't have any in their apartment but of course they spend very little time in their apartment. I live in mine. But that still doesn't tell me why I get cockroaches and they don't. Especially when I clean every week.

Oh well, he is calling the  exterminator to get mine treated on the 5th of January and he said they would have him exterminate theirs too. I suppose "just in case".  I may buy some kind of bug spray at Dollar General today. 

Finally Blondie came for his meal. It was later then usual.  It's trying to rain some more. That may be why he is later.

More Later...

I called Sally just before noon to ask her if she wanted to go to lunch. She did. She wanted to go to the fish place in Independence so that's what we did. It was very good. We both got the kids menu. It is lots of food even though it is supposed to be a kid's portion.

I went to the library here but they were closed for the holiday weekend so I couldn't get a couple of  books as I had planned.. I will try again after I get back from Coffeyville tomorrow and my hair appointment. We aren't having game day tomorrow so I will be coming back home after my hair appointment. Although I may visit with Marilyn some after my hair appointment.

It's only 7:15PM and too early to go to bed. I am going to have to find something to read until at least 9:00PM. If I go too bed too early I won't sleep well.

Monday and Christmas Day

 I slept well last night and was up shortly before 5:00AM. I made my bed dressed and got myself ready for the day.  I went to the garage and got some dry cat food to put in the bowls and took it in the house and added the wet cat food to the other end of the bowls. Then I set it out on the sidewalk by the front door. Soon the little grey cat showed up and then Blondie too. They are eating now. 

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

Today is to be 40 degrees and cloudy. Tuesday is to be 43 degrees and mostly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 41 degrees and mostly cloudy, Thursday is to be 43 degrees and mostly cloudy, Friday is to be 47 degrees and partly cloudy, Saturday is to be 50 degrees and mostly sunny, and Sunday is to be 48 degrees and partly cloudy....no rain this week. Just lots of partly cloudy!

I fixed myself some Chai Latte and a breakfast bar and am eating that now..

More Later... 

I did a load of laundry and it is in the dryer now.  

When they were dry, I put them all away.

I took my two library books back to the library's  drop box this morning. I will get a couple more books tomorrow after the library is open. Leslie picked me up and she took Cheyenne and Jeromy and me to Ihop for a very good breakfast.

After I got back home I started putting away my Christmas decorations. I will bring all those boxes back in and start loading them with the decorations. As soon as Jeromy has some time, he will come put the boxes back in the attic.

More Later...

I spent the evening boxing up Christmas decorations. I also took down the little Christmas tree. I will stack the boxes in the garage until Jeromy has time to put them in the attic again. It's almost 8:00PM and I will take my bath now and put my pajamas on. I still have plenty to do with boxing up the Christmas decorations. I will do that this week.

More Even Later...

I got about ten boxes boxed and I still have some more to do but there is no rush. Jeromy is helping the kids now that John is sick,  Jeromy is putting out hay for the cattle and Leslie has been feeding milk for one of the new puppies. It may not make it. Leslie took it in the house and put it on a heating pad to warm it up last night . They have a radiator in the kennel but that puppy is the runt of the litter and Leslie had been having to spoon it some milk,. John's brother-in law and his wife, John's sister, have volunteered to take care of it and feed it. Echo is not nursing all eight of them... especially not that one. It is very tiny. Much smaller then the others.

I have had my bath now. But it's only 9:10PM and I don't want to go to bed this early. I would not sleep well and I slept well last night. I had stayed up until almost 10:00PM reading.

 

Sunday and Church

 I slept pretty well last night and was only up once to take my two meds. I made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day.

I made my coffee cake this morning and it is in the oven baking.

I opened the front door and and found Blondie waiting for his breakfast. It is raining this morning. I think it rained all night. He ate his breakfast and left to find shelter....probably under someone's house.

I also saw "the  weather on the 8's",  It's 60 degrees today and still raining, Monday it's to be 42 degrees and cloudy, Tuesday is to be 43 degrees and mostly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 41 degrees and mostly cloudy, Thursday is to be 43 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 44 degrees and partly cloudy and Saturday is to 45 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week! Only one day of rain and that's today.  Lots of partly cloudy! But outside of today, most of the week is partly cloudy.

I see the little grey cat is out there eating now. I am drinking my Chai Latte and have eaten my breakfast bar. I will have some coffee cake at church.

I just texted Leslie to find out what time we are having breakfast at church. She says it's 10:00AM. It's 8:26AM now so I have awhile before I have to leave for church. It's Christmas Eve so I don't expect a lot of folks to be there. They probably all have a lot of company for Christmas.

Scott just called me and I visited with him for quite awhile. Then I had to let him go so I could ice my coffee cake.

The little grey cat came and ate his/her breakfast. That one is gone now too.

More Even Later. 

We had plenty of people for church. And it was a fine service. Mike Norris sang a Christmas song and he had a very fine voice. In fact, the entire service was great!

I didn't eat lunch because I knew I would have a light supper with Jeromy, Leslie and Cheyenne when we have our gift opening this evening.

I read until Jeromy and Leslie and Cheyenne came... around 4:00PM and then we ate some of Jeromy's smoked turkey and some of the salad stuff I had bought at Wal Mart yesterday. He gave me some more of the smoked meat and I gave him one of the unopened veggies, cheese and meat trays from Walmart. We were plenty full and everyone got something they were glad to have for Christmas.

They left after everyone ate and opened their gifts.and will be back to pick me up tomorrow morning so we will have Christmas dinner or breakfast at Ihop in Bartlesville. We did that last year too. 

It's 5:48 PM now and I will read until 7:00PM when I will take my bath.
