Monday, June 19

I woke up early this morning and could not go back to sleep.  So, I got up.  It was just 8 am.  Of course, I had gone to bed rather earlier than normal last night, so I guess I had slept myself out.  I did all of my morning tasks including feeding the cats.  I am a little worried about Peaches.  She did not come when I fed the others, and she has not responded to my calls.  If she doesn’t come out soon, I am going to have to call my brother and see if he will come over and look in the basement for her.  She was fine yesterday—she sat in my lap and purred several times throughout the day like she normally does.

Since I had two hours before I was scheduled to zoom with DeAnn, I sorted and started my laundry, cleaned all four litterboxes, broke down some cardboard, dumped a big bag of garbage from the living room, bathroom, and bed room along with today’s litterbox scoopings into the outside bin, and washed the sink full of dishes that I should have washed yesterday.  I still had plenty of time before meeting with DeAnn, so I ate a bowl of the Jell-O “salad” I made the other day.  It set up well with the fresh strawberries in it. 

DeAnn is late, so I think I am going to go put the next load of laundry in.  I only have three loads today, so it shouldn’t take long to do that chore today.  Especially if I stay on top of it.

I am just back from throwing load 1 into  the dryer and load 2 into  the washer.  I took my Jell-O bowl into the kitchen, all the while yelling for Peaches.  The boys both ran down to the basement when I hollered for her down the steps.  After a bit the boys came back up and Peaches was with them.  She seems fine, and she ate the food I gave her.  So what a relief!  I was really worried that she was laying dead somewhere.  I love my little Peach.

I finished the laundry.  I spent most of the afternoon sewing on the Halloween overalls for the LeeAnn dolls.  They will be so cute when they are done.  I finished sewing and top stitching the facing for the bib part of the overalls.  I fed the cats their supper and put out some food for Spot. 

I made one of the Schwan’s egg/cheese/sausage breakfast sandwiches and a lettuce salad with blue cheese and Western dressing for my supper.  I didn’t eat lunch.  Tomorrow I will fry that steak and perhaps make something out of the hamburger.  I am not sure what to make with it.  I am sick of chili and spaghetti.  I am not sick of meatloaf, but I’d rather make something that is a whole meal in itself.  If I had some tator tots, I might make tator tot hotdish.  That’s always good.  And I love green beans.

I am watching a rather depressing movie called The Banshees of Inisherin.  I thought it might be funny by the description,  but it isn’t.  It’s sad and kind of stupid.  At least the characters are behaving stupidly.

The Irish scenery and the accents are lovely though.

I talked to my sister Tammy for a while today.  She told me she went out to the garden to move her sprinkler to another spot, but she had to wait for a while because a little cardinal was having a bath in the spray.  She said it was the cutest thing she had ever seen.  So the cardinal had a lovely long shower which he enjoyed very much.  She was still singing about it when I talked to her on the phone.

I don’t have anything else very interesting to talk about.  The movie just ended and the ending was stupid.  The whole damned movie was sad and stupid.  And a poor little donkey died in it which really pisses me off.  All the humans can die, but leave the little animals alone.

I got 7.5 hours. Not a lot of REM or deep but I did feel refreshed. Unfortunately my entire three day weekend was fucked over my amazon but I did ream several service representatives with new buttholes.

I saw The Banshees of Inisherin in HBO a few months back. I could have saved you the time. It was a horribly, pointless movie with no redeeming value. The acting and all was fine, but I saw nothing redeeming to it. It was stupid, pointless, depressing and I hate the little donkey died. The self-mutilation as very disturbing. I saw both actors interviews by Stephen Colbert and thought it woudl be a great movie. I wouldn't give it a good or even a fair. I have no idea what the big deal was nor do I think it deserved any sort of reward or recognition. It was horrible and cruel. When the only redeeming value is the scenery, you know it's a movie you shouldn't waste your time with. I hope you didn't buy the DVD.

I understand from the actor playing the stupid on that the donkey became a bit of a prima donna during filming. Pretty bad when the interviews about the movie are better than the actual movie itself.

I've done that. Stopped and waited because of a butterfly or a hummingbird or the dogs were doing something. Sometimes it's good to just stop, enjoy the moment and delight in a random happening.
