Empty Nest

Happy Saturday!!!

I've been on vacation since Wednesday.  I have done projects that have needed doin' for a very long time.  Shampooed my living room carpet.  It looks wonderful without "pee spots" and the place smells so much better.  

I also got this in the mail yesterday.  I have been waiting on this to come out  on DVD forever. My copy was on VHS.  OOPS.  No VCR player. I started watching it yesterday and I was late for an appt.  I do wish it would come out on Kindle. I love this book.  I have much to do today so I'm afraid to start it today....I want to watch it when I actually have the time to enjoy it!!

I went and had my port flushed this week.  They still aren't telling me when I can get it out.  It usually doesn't bother me but having it sitting there and sometimes being sore, just reminds me of stuff I'd rather not be reminded of if ya know what I mean.

I'm going to a party today at a boat dock.  I just saw the weather.  Storms.  Oh lovely.  I'd better go cut the grass right now.  There may be a neighborhood child lost in it.

Have a great Saturday ~~~

The worst sandwich..

I'm not going to go into detail but, for lunch today I went to a well known restaurant and bought at well advertized "Mushroom and swiss roast beef sandwich".  My advice to all.  Skip it.  I'm still sick from it.  It did have a strange tasting sauce on it but from the point of the last bite, I've been eating it all day.  Maalox hasn't helped and neither has phenergan (sp).  Grrr. I hate when that happens.  I should have purchased a damn burger, or brought mine from home......I'll do that tomorrow for sure. 

Little Andy was sick last night too.  Maybe I caught what he had.  He's fine today but goodness he had an "active" night last night. 

My house is still cool after the "film" on the windows and doors.  I think I'm loving this idea.  Of course I haven't done anything really "exerting" since Sunday so we'll see what happens when (if) I get the urge to do something more than read during the week and into the weekend.  It will not go below 90 any time in the next 8 days.  Oh joy!!!

Have a great evening folks!!

Cooler..inside

I put up the window film yesterday.  I couldn't judge much because it then got cloudy and threatened rain the rest of the day BUT. Today has been the same its been for the last 9 days.  HOT as hell and sunny.  I came home today and the house was much better than usual.  I think its actually cooler than it was when I kept the blinds closed.  The only complaint I have it that when it was not sunny yesterday it was hard to judge how dark it was outside.  So I left half of the double windows un-filmed (?) so I could see how it really was out there.  So far so good. 

It is also nice in here having the windows unblocked so I can see outside.  Gosh how I hate being closed in with no windows.  I think the dogs like it too.

Have a loverly Monday everyone!!

 

Late Rabbit...rabbit

I thought I'd done this.......So for the first of June

Rabbit....rabbit

 

Ok, I know..Its hot there too.

But.  I am going to bitch about it here and so....I am not in the mood for 98 degrees in June. Early June at that.  If I wanted to be godawful hot all the time I'd live in Houston, Miami, Arizona.  You know HOT places.  Its June , its beautiful and I hate sweating all the time. That's that.

My garden is flourishing.  I re-potted some veggies yesterday where had planted two plants in one pot and it wasn't big enough.  My yellow zucchini has flowers on it.  So do the cucumber plants.  A few tomato plants have green tomatoes that are already bigger than my red ones from last year.  The little plant that I bought that is growing little yellow tomatoes is already sprouting out edible tomatoes.  All three pepper plants are still growing and flowering.  I'm so excited.  I've got a little backyard full of colored pots with veggies in them.  Oh, some house plants too.  I also planted some green beans today.  It may be too late but maybe not.  We'll see.  

I attempting to conquer high electric bills, I've purchased that "platinum" color window film that says it cuts down on the cooling bills.  Last weekend I did my back door.  It worked so well blocking the brightness of the sun that I took down the blinds.  Now I'm taking a break from doing the dining room windows.  The afternoon sun shines straight in those windows and my bedroom windows raising the heat at least 10 degrees in the afternoon unless I close all of the blinds.  Then I feel like I'm in a cave.  I hate not being able to see out of my windows.  Of course I have a trillion fans going too.  It's rather loud in here.  

I'm taking Rosco to the vet this Wednesday.  He needs his shots etc but he also is having periodic trouble breathing.  I don't know if its allergies or what.  I usually happens when he's outside or has just come in.  I gave him 1/2 a benadryl yesterday and 1/2 of one this morning.  It actually seems to help.  I just want to make sure with the Vet that I'm not killing him by giving it to him.  Just for the record.  She's gonna tell me he's fat.  He and I are starting to resemble each other.  Short and round.  

Have a great day everyone.  Happy Sunday
