I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. I don't know why I don't post more often. I always have things I want to share, but sometimes I don't want to. I don't know why. There is always something going on. Especially recently. With pets, myself, my husband, the house, family etc. I don't think blogging has gotten boring, because it is much faster than writing in a journal or a planner, which I do both. I also write on my deck calendar. So why don't I blog more? I don't have the answer to that. And I always say I will blog more, and then BAM! Six months fly by. Maybe I could do a paragraph for each day, and then post a single post on say Friday, covering that week. And if there isn't anything special to really talk about skip a day or something like that. I don't know but I would like to blog more, I want more of what Continue Reading
It’s Been A Minute
It has actually been longer than a minute lol. But you know how that goes. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve. We stayed at home, where we are happy with each other and our furbabies. We had an appointment for someone to come and install a water filtration unit, and it was cancelled due to snow, but that snow was nothing like what we had overnight. We seriously had from 12 to 18 inches of snow. We cleared the driveway this morning. Last night, my outside semi-feral furbaby, Lilo, the tortie girl. Decided she needed to go potty, and when she jumped down, she didn't realize how deep the snow was. She didn't return. I really wish she had returned. I know she could have made the jump up to her house. So she stayed under the deck, and this morning, she was gone. Nowhere to be found. I am worried sick. The snow is Continue Reading
Cold Season, Holidays & Furbabies
It is hard to believe that the cold season is here, and the holidays are right around the corner. I have done a little shopping, but still have more to do. As for my weight, I think this past month has been particularly challenging for me. I sometimes have no willpower. I suppose I often reflect on my life, taking my age into account, and remind myself that I don't have much time left, so I want to enjoy certain things. I also think I would like to reach my weight goal I set for myself. This past year, I have maintained the 200 lbs, going over one or two pounds, but this month has just been really bad, and the holidays are coming, which will make it worse. In my last weigh-in, I gained 7 lbs, although 2 lbs of those are from the week before, so really it's 5 lbs. I am bummed out, and I do feel those 7 lbs already. I often pray to my good Continue Reading
Seriously? 6 Months, Wow!
Happy Fall, everyone! I can't believe it has been 6 months since I last posted. At least I am posting in 2025 still lol. I have been busy. Lately, it feels as if my cats keep me very busy. I am talking about my inside cats, Daisy and Lily. That is not including my outside furbabies. I had about 8 feral cats I was feeding, and loving it. But one by one, they seemed to disappear. I miss them all so much. I may have mentioned this before, as a matter of fact, I did in the last post. I went to look LOL. Lilo, my tortie girl, is still here. I think she adopted us because she has a permanent bed on the deck. In the summer, she would sleep on the deck furniture, and in the winter, she sleeps in a heated house. I am hoping that over time, she will become an inside cat and be added to the family here. The other feral is Mittens, a tuxedo boy. Continue Reading
Weather, Furbabies, Gaming & More
I think many can agree the weather has just been crazy. Today, for instance, I woke up to thunder, lightning, and rain. And just yesterday, it was super sunny and hot. It was so hot I had to close the living room curtains because when the sun gets to that side of the house, it cooks the house. It is like that every year, the sun that is. The thunderstorm is another story. All through May it has been raining, and cold. It's unusually cold for that time of the year, which postponed working on the yard. Yesterday, my husband took out the bags of mulch and placed them near the areas where he is going to work. We took out the cushions for the deck furniture also, only for him to bring them in, in the morning. I popped out of bed, thinking oh my gosh, the cushions are going to be drenched. It was raining awhile so I saw it to be pointless Continue Reading
