Saturday and Storm Warnings

 I was up at 5:00AM this morning, made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day.

I checked for cats outside my front door but there were none out there yet. It's 5:52AM now. I did catch "the weather on the 8's". 

Today is to be 80 degrees and scattered thunderstorms and wind. Tomorrow is to be 75 degrees and AM rain, Monday is to be 78 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 84 degrees and mostly sunny Wednesday is to be 81 degrees and thunderstorms, Thursday is to be 77 degrees and thunderstorms and Friday is to be 74 degrees and AM Thunderstorms. That's 5 days of thunderstorms.

More Later ....

At 6:47AM, I opened the front door to see Whitey in her box and wanting breakfast. So I fixed her dish and set it out front for her. She is eating now. So far she is the only one out there.

I went to get gas for the mower. I decided to mow the front yard while it''s dry. I got that done and  emptied the mower bag and put a new black bag on the frame for the mower bags.

I will probably not try to mow the back this afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday are the only days it's not supposed to rain. I may try it on one of those other days. I could mow the back if it's dry Tuesday and save the west side for a dryer day perhaps Wednesday. I see Stephen mowed his yesterday

More Even Later..  

It's 2:37PM and I have read most of the afternoon. I am thinking of mowing the back yard. It's smaller and I can mow the west later...if the grass is dry. 

More Even Later .... 

I mowed the back yard this afternoon and will trim next.  I will also have to eventually mow the west side too. But not now. I will go back to my book.

I trimmed the back yard and the front yard.  Then I had to charge the trimmer.

I hear the thunder and  rain now. I understand there is quite a bit of action over at the Sedan area. They are predicting tornadoes.

I am glad I got the front and back yards mowed and trimmed.  I will have to get to the west side later after all this week's rain is over.

Friday and Storms

I was up at 5:00AM this morning after another restless night. I made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. I checked for cats but none were out there yet. Its 5:45AM now. We are under storm warnings and will be for several days.  I heard rain all night and thunder.

I did catch "the weather on the 8's" and here it is:

Sunday is to be 79 degrees and Thunderstorms, Monday is to be 77 degrees and partly cloudy, and Tuesday is to be 85 degrees and PM thunderstorms, Wednesday is to be  81 degrees and scattered thunderstorms, and Thursday is to be 72 degrees and scattered Thunderstorms. That's the week... Monday is the only day without rain and that is partly cloudy.

I have had a cup of Chai Latte and a breakfast bar. Maybe later I will have another cup of Chai Latte. We will see.

I have been reading my Grisham book since the weather report has improved.  It's 9:37AM now.

Thursday and a New Mirror Frame for my Car's rear Mirror

 It's 4:29 AM and I have been sleeping restlessly again. I got up at 4:00AM and checked my bank account. I will go up to Independence and get a new frame for my car back up mirror. The one I have is bent. When I backed out of the garage and hit the door frame. my local garage put in a new mirror but didn't change out the bent frame for the mirror..So I went up to Quality in Independence and Scott ordered one and the man there at Quality will install a new one. They called me to come get it done yesterday but I was in Coffeyville for Game Day, so I told them I would come up today. I will do that this morning around 9:00AM (first thing) and then go to the Dairy Queen for lunch there afterward.

More Later.. 

Blondie was the first cat that came for breakfast here. I fed him and then Grey came too. She/he ate his/her fill and left. Finally Whitey came and is eating now. That's three cats. At 8:00AM, I need to go to Dollar General and get another cat dish. Yesterday after the cats left, a big black dog came and carried it off.. dish and all. I looked for it at their usual places that  I find them but this time it was nowhere to be found. So I will buy another cat dish and some more wet cat food too. 

Whitey came back twice more for more cat food. He/she must be really hungry.

Wednesday and Game Day at the Senior Center

I was up early again and I dressed, made my bed and got myself ready for the day. I opened the front door but there were no cats out there yet.  It's only 5:05AM. I watched a TV program to pass the time.

No cats yet either. It's  5:17AM now.

More Later...

The first cat to come for it's breakfast was Grey. He ate his fill and left and the Whitey came and took up where Grey had left off and finished what was left. Then Whitey came back for more and I put fresh food in the dish and she dug in.

Whitey is still eating..at least was while I was still in the living room.

More Even Later..

I went over to Coffeyville to go to Walmart and get a treat for Game Day at the senior center there. All five of us showed up today.

I got there in plenty of time to get my hair fixed and also read in my own Grisham book. I got home in time to catch the CBS news.

Blondie showed up for supper and ate almost all his supper food.

Then I read until bath time and then later went on to bed at 9:00PM.

 

Tuesday and Another Trip to the Library

I was awake at 1:00AM this morning after having taken my usual three Melatonin at bedtime.. I got up then and took two more and got back to sleep until 6:00AM. I have had one cup of Chai Latte and a breakfast bar for my breakfast. When I opened the front door, Grey was out there waiting for his breakfast. I fixed it and took it out to him. He ate and left and then Whitey came for her/his breakfast. I took his/hers out to her and she is eating now.  

I am working on my second cup of Chai Latte now. 

I did catch  "the weather on the 8's" and here it is.

Today is to be 75 degrees and partly cloudy, tomorrow is to be  73 degrees and mostly cloudy, Thursday is o be 66 degrees and Thunderstorms, Friday is to be 78 degrees and scattered thunderstorms, Saturday is to be 79 degrees and thunderstorms and wind, Sunday is to be 76 degrees and Thunderstorms and Monday is to be 76 degrees and sunny. That's the week! Four days of rain! We can use it!

More Later... 

Blondie finally came for his breakfast and after that he tried to get into the apartment but I took the broom and discouraged him from that. He knows he can't come in but it's chilly out there and he keeps trying. 

Then Whitey came back too. Blondie left and Whitey dug into the fresh food and is eating now again

More Even Later... 

I called Sally to see if she wanted to go to Copan to have lunch and she did. I picked her up at noon. We had our usual...vegetable beef soup and we split a piece of German Chocolate pie. Then I took her home.  It's good to have someone to have lunch with.

I went to the library and checked out one book. I couldn't find another one I was interested in. Then when I started reading it, I saw that I had already read it. So I took it back down to the library to the book drop and dropped it in. Maybe I will find one at the Coffeyville library tomorrow after I get my hair done. Tomorrow is also game day at the senior center. at 1:00PM.

Monday and a week of Rain

I was up at 4:00AM again and had my Chai Latte and breakfast bar for my breakfast.  

When I opened the front door Blondie was out there waiting for his breakfast so I took it out to him. He has been busy eating. He never came for his breakfast yesterday so he is pretty hungry this morning.

I finished one of my two books yesterday but cannot get into the second one. I may take both of them back to the library today. 

I did catch "the weather on the 8's" this morning and here it is.

Today is to be 73 degrees and mostly cloudy and windy. Tomorrow is to be 74 degrees and mostly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 73 degrees and PM showers,  Thursday is to be 71 degrees and thunderstorms,  Friday is to be 76 degrees and Thunderstorms and wind.

That's the most rain forecast in weeks.

Sunday and Church and Breakfast with Coffeecake

I was up fairly early again this morning, I knew I would be making my coffeecake for the breakfast at church. It's in the oven now and the timer is on. 

I dressed and made my bed and got myself ready for the day. I looked for a cat but it's too early for them I guess at 5:22AM.

I even caught "the weather on the 8's:" and here it is.

Today is to be 64 degrees and partly cloudy, tomorrow is to be 71 degrees and sunny and windy, Tuesday is to be 77 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 71 degrees and PM showers, Thursday is to be 73 degrees and thunderstorms, Friday is to be 78 degrees and scattered thunderstorms and Saturday is to be 85 degrees and isolated thunderstorms. That's the week! Four days of rain. That's good for a change but that may make my mowing difficult this week. 

It's 5:57AM and the coffeecake just came out of the oven. Then I opened the door  to find Grey out there waiting for his breakfast so I fixed him some hot and cold cat food. He is eating now. 

More Even Later.. 

I made my coffeecake and took it to church and several ate it.

Melissa had a good sermon.

After church Phyllis and I went to Eggbert's for lunch. Then when I got home I picked up my latest book again to read. 

When I got up and began to go to the den to check my e-mail, I fell...again on my knees. Luckily I fell on the den floor with the carpet. It's thin carpet though so that wasn't a lot of protection. Undoubtedly, I will have bruises again on my knees. It's getting harder and harder to walk without my knees giving out. The problem of being 88 years old, I guess. I probably need to resume my daily walking.   

More Even Later..

I watched the south Central States Mission Center worship service this evening on Zoom. Then I took my bath at 7:15PM. I will go back to my book now for awhile. I plan to go to bed at 9:00PM or so.
