And the ball just kills me. Not sure how he manages to hold on to it.

I have no idea. Somehow she manages, and will sleep with 2 or 3 toys crammed in her mouth. Lila says she would never be caught in such a ridiculous situation, chasing a dog toy like that.

Never mind!

My neighbors have had their 2 little dogs out chasing a remote control car through their backyard almost every day lately. They play fetch a lot. It makes me miss my first dog who was part lab. Even the mail lady used to bring her new balls. We’d come home and find her with a new one.

We’ve got a picture of my mom’s now 19 year old cat wrestling with one of her tennis balls too. Sometimes its hard to believe he used to be a little rascal going after their tails.

I did something outrageous today….

I bought one of those fancy OCedar mops with the bucket that spins and rinses. I literally drove around town to find it in stock when I couldn’t find it at Walmart. Fortunately the guy at Ace Hardware was really sweet and found it for me. I saw him smiling and chatting with an elderly lady while he was helping get her purchases to her car in the parking lot as we pulled away. It’s nice to see people like that in retail. Its hard work!

And now I got my floors mopped without dragging the steam mop out. The bucket was still a bit heavy but at least I wasn’t trying not to burn anyone or anything. I used just water like they said. The triangle shaped head did get into corners nicely. And it fit under things the steam mop couldn’t get. Of course I still have it if I need to sanitize for some reason. Or I can add cleaner to the water. I’m just glad its DONE.

Every now and then Zorro discoveres my Really Soft Sweater & gets a faraway ‘mommie‘ look in his eyes. When he thinks I’m not looking he makes tentative biscuits. I pretend I’m not peeping.

In my younger days there was a club that I used to go that had drag shows on the weekend as well as some in DC. I really enjoyed watching them. It's been 30 years since I've been to one and I would love to see another one. My favorite was a couple that called themselves Sonny and Cher. They were wonderful

I hope your son does well. He sure seems to have the support he needs.

I’m pleased with what a good girl Daisy’s been today. Very peaceful day, I spent it with the babies, knitting, and when it was getting on for dinner time took Daisy out for a little walk in the courtyard, then inside for a grooming. Afterward she did just what I hoped - ate some of her new dins, then went and did good big poos. She’s now torn between having more dins (the 56g she needs each day is an enormous serve) and demanding lap time.

... But she’s left it too late.

Cop being good to me last night.I was stopped for going a little too fast.Never gave him crap and I cooperated.Handed him my registration,driver's license and told him I had a pistol in the middle console having a concealed weapons permit.Said all looked good and did give me a break since I did cooperate with him.I was raised to use common sense by my parents.

My introvert side is struggling. Some friends are having a bonfire at their new house this evening. Right now its very windy but they think it will be ok by nightfall. I haven’t gotten to see the place yet and I’ve been wanting to. (Its an old farmhouse on a big piece of land.) But GOSH I want to stay home and hibernate too.

Everybody is sick over at mom's house . . . My nose will not stop running, now it's all red and sore from blowing it. I took some vitamins and one herb. Hopefully it will pass soon. I don't have time to be sick !

~ Daily saline sinus rinse each evening can greatly reduce virus infections. This used to be known as "the Doctor's secret" .
Make sure to use distilled water. Some add a few drops of iodine and/or eucalyptus oil .

Its chilly and windy outside and about to get worse later ... glad that i got the mail now ...

~ Same here in Los Angeles . We had "snow" ( ice rain ) last week !!

I was raised to use common sense by my parents.

~ Me too ... What happened to common sense, logic and reasoning ?

Had a rough afternoon; came home and all was well at first but the baby and new kitty in the bathroom melted down at the same time and I couldn't handle the noise so put baby in her crib with some music and went into another room. Misfit joined me and we ended up hiding out together from the babies for a few minutes ‍

Sometimes I feel like I ruined his life with both the human baby and the new kitten/teenager but I swear I had the best intentions for both of us. We'll get through it together I'm sure it's just hard right now. We're very similar, Misfit and I now that I think about it.

Anyways, my partner came home, baby fell asleep after eating, and Misfit and I are holed up in this nice quiet room with her listening to piano music while my partner plays with the kitten.

Such a productive morning are supposed to have four days of snow starting tomorrow so today was it to get errands run. To the bank to pay off my car , way across town to donate some things to a free store and then a long wait at the DMV to car the car lien removed from my vehicle registration.
