Monday/Tuesday
Sep. 13th, 2011 11:01 pmThe very affectionate nature of my cat, who insisted that his very ability to continue living depended on my turning off the computer and cuddling him, caused me to fail to post yesterday. There wasn't a whole lot to say, anyhow...
Monday--
Got up early. Mom was already washing her living room windows when I went upstairs. She is insane about her windows. She must wash them a dozen or more times a year. Mine were never washed the entire time I lived in my house.
I made poached eggs for us for breakfast. We also had toast and grapefruit. Then I went down to the Lair and worked on some stuff. I'm trying to find places for the last of my stuff. Mom came down later with my debit card for my unemployment. I activated it and asked her if she'd like to run into Owatonna with me later. (I knew she wouldn't want to miss her soap opera).
So, we drove to Owatonna and went to Walmart where I got two bags of cat food, another container of litter box deodorizer, and an air freshener to put in the furnace room near the litter boxes. I also bought 2 boxes of generic Nutty Bars, some apples, a case of diet coke, a carton of laundry detergeant which was on sale, a jar of peanut butter, since I heard that peanut butter is going to become insanely expensive in the near future, and two cute little outfits for my niece which were on sale for $3 each.
After Walmart, we went through the drive through of McDonalds for a twist cone. We stopped at Kentucky Fried Chicken and bought the eight piece meal package, all dark meat. We had that when we got home--it was good. I prefer the roasted chicken, but mom likes the original recipe, so that's what we got. I paid for it as Mom had bought my meals at least three or four times while I was poverty stricken.
That was our very late lunch--and we had no supper.
We watched TV for a while, though I don't remember what we watched. I wasn't paying much attention. I was working on the cute little outfit I was making for the Chryssie doll. I have to upload these pictures to Flickr so I can put some of them on here.
Mom had Bible study at 6:30 pm. After she left, I went into my Lair and read for a while. I finished reading The Rowan by Anne McCaffrey. It was okay. Her heroines are always these teeny tiny but fiesty little things and the heroes are always these huge, muscle-bound guys with square jaws and hard eyes that only turn tender for the sweet little chick heroine. It gets old.
I tried to play scrabble on line, but the damned website was not behaving well. I chatted with my former student, Bill Wilson, who told me that he had survived cancer four times and was now fighting it for a fifth time. Then he told me it was a brain cancer and that he had been given 8-14 months to live. He assured me he intended to beat it again...I hope he can. I suppose he is in his early thirties now. He was always a good kid.
That was depressing.
Tuesday
I woke up today and had a Nutty Bar for breakfast here in my lair. I sure wish I had my little fridge down here because then I could keep milk right in my room and have cereal every morning. I took my meds then started working on my laundry. I had three loads. The last one is in the dryer now. I'll fold it in the morning.
I also cleaned the litterboxes, gave my cats fresh food and water, and put the air freshener out there.
I put away a bunch of books that had been in Walmart bags and worked on the Lair most of the morning.
Mom and I had Kentucky Fried chicken left overs for lunch. Then she came downstairs and we watched a bunch of judge shows while I finished the little outfit I had been working on yesterday. We had hot green tea and some cookies while we watched TV.
Cora came over at about 5:30 as Caleb had a football game and she doesn't enjoy going to the games. She gets bored. I gave her the two little outfits I had bought her and she liked both of them. She sat on Grandma's lap for a long time, reading her book and trying to persuade Mom to take her home so she could ride her bike and Mom could watch her. LOL.
At 7 pm, she and Mom went upstairs to watch Wipeout, which I do not enjoy because I think it is stupid and pointless. I stayed downstairs and watched NCIS. Jack and Kari and Caleb came to get her around 8 pm. They hung out very briefly as it is a school night and the kids had homework to do before bed.
I had begun sewing the little black silky "witch" costume for the Chryssie doll. It is completely done except for the hem and being sewn up the back. I think it is too short, and I am going to add a ruffle to the bottom of the dress to make it longer. I may make it a double ruffle, with the underneath one being made of that black fabric with the holographic silver stars on it. I am planning on making her a cloak out of that as well. I saw a very cute pair of boots on EBAY for her, and I am tempted to get them for her. I have a $70 credit on my Target card...
My little Stewie Bug is being a big cuddle-bug tonight. He is pressed up as tight as he can get to my stomach. I have to stop typing from time to time to pet him and tell him he is Momma's precious baby boy....yes he is! Yes he is! LOL.
That's about it. Tomorrow, I may sneak out to Owatonna while mom is at bible study--need to get my license tabs and also would like to get some of the stuff she would not approve of--like chocolate candy. Also, I have sugar cookies to deliver to my nephew Erik and some books for my sister Joni. Another thing I hope to do tomorrow is to wash my bedding and vacuum the lair.
