Mine is that we got a lot of rain this weekend, and the evil tree pollen that's been the bane of my existence for the past few weeks :lol: has been washed away. :yess: It's nice to have everything outside clean and fresh-smelling. :bliss:

My MIL adoped 2 new budgies after her last one crossed the bridge. The story of that budgie is kind of sweet. My SIL passed not quite 4 years ago. A few weeks later MIL was driving down a country road and saw a flash of yellow that didn’t look like a normal bird. She’d had budgies years ago so she is familiar with them. She managed to catch her and never found an owner. So Tweety became her little sweetie and brought a lot of happiness to her during that saddest time. 💛 It’s like she was heaven sent. The two new babies look very sweet together too.

My positive for today is I mentioned to my friend from TCS that I'm out of mayo and within the hour she had sent out a care package to me. I bet you can guess who it is! My sister from another mother. ❤ I hope she's around when I need toilet paper. :lol:
foxxycat foxxycat is certainly foxy, sending that off so quickly. She's a star!!⭐

I'm trying to play catch-up with sleep so Cal and I snuggled a lot yesterday afer Caylee left.
She makes lots of darling sounds but my fave is the snorting sound, she sounds like a little
pig! It's going to be rough when it's warm enough to sit outside and not have my Vincie girl
there but she's always in my heart.

I ordered a Fudge Tort Crown cake, soooo good. It looks like a crown, they even place gold
leaf in the fudge rose placed on top.

I made brownies yesterday using a recipe from the King Arthur flour website. At the last minute, I threw in a handful of Ghirardelli chocolate chips because who doesn’t need even more chocolate at a time like this? Just as I took them out of the oven, The Spouse appeared, sniffing the air. “Do I smell brownies?” “No,” I said. “No brownies here. Move along.”

No, no brownie hoarding here. I shared. :)

USPS Informed Delivery shows my new Real ID arriving in todays mail. Have been waiting for it for two months. Can’t go anywhere of course, but when I can I will be ready! Oh, and while I was out on my walk I saw tulips that were up about three inches. This is way, way early but great!

If you don’t have Informed Delivery, you can sign up for it at USPS and then every day you get a scan of all the mail you will be receiving that day and also whether any packages are out for delivery. A great service.

I got to text with an old good friend last night. (She was in the middle of a 5 hour hair project she said; talking wouldn’t have worked. 😜) We used to be so close that we would always dress alike without planning it. After she went away to college we eventually just got busy with life and don’t talk often. And her trips home are rare. So last night was a treat. Our daughters get along really well so I wish we could see each other more. But I’m happy to live in a time when technology can bring us closer. 💜

I had a friend like that in high school. I didn't even have to bring anything when I stayed the night, she let me wear her clothes and use all her makeup & shower stuff. We recently reconnected on Facebook too, after 20 years! She's still just as kind as ever and that's very positive. :)

That sounds decadent, pics are definitely in order.
I ate half of it yesterday, ha!! I plan on getting another one maybe next week. It is very fudgy.
The perfect size for one person. It says serves 8! what, 8 baby mice???

I am stocked up with food. Got the essentials, Clorox wipes, package of 3, 6 rolls of tp, large bottle of bleach.
Then shampoo, body wash etc. Tide, and Woolite for darks.

If it doesn't rain I may go for a walk. So quiet in my neighborhood, I thought the kids would be outside but
I didn't hear any till last night. I have good books on my tablet, an Agatha Christie, The Pale Horse, that
was due but couldn't get back before they closed. I have quite a few books I can read again. I'll being watch
Sex&theCity when it from Amazon.

Yesterday my youngest grandson pumped up the tyres on my old bike which I hadn't ridden for at least 2 years.

Today I rode for almost an hour - heard a woodpecker, noticed the first wild flowers and felt the sun on my bare arms. Both the fitness studio and my local swimming pool for aqua-jogging are closed until further notice so I need an alternative form of exercise. I have to admit that I would have felt less wobbly on a triicycle rather than a bicycle but I kept off the roads and only had problems trying to avoid mud and puddles. After my hip replacement last autumn, I feel I achieved something positive. Perhaps I will manage to go further tomorrow..
