Rantings, Ravings, and Ramblings
How in the world they get places, I'll never know. Love it!
Basics
My headache was vehement about its dislike of butterfly sit ups
Sit ups
It's mostly manageable, but sometimes it strikes
(Sit ups??)
I hit a few stores to make up for the lack of high knees
(They've disappeared lately )
Had lunch at a restaurant we've not been to in a while
Huge portions! No supper for me tonight
Nobu cuddled last night, so I'm hopeful for tonight, too
Good: found what I needed at the store
Happy: good afternoon with my parents!
Congrats on the badges!
Triple congrats to you! Good job!
I think that cat looks too clean to be a stray, but OMG I love that cats are just coming to visit you!
Miyagi likes to rest on my husband's side of the bed after coming back in when my husband wakes up before me.
He always gets up when I do too, so I like to think he guards me then, too.
Cats just make the day better!
It's never happened before,
@MadamMeow ! Definitely because of Liam, but he wasn't around last year and it didn't happen then either. (Nobu made some new sounds, that's for sure!) I'm hoping someone isn't missing the little one.
My cats are grazers I feed at night, so I know when they're near me, it means love!
Even when being brats and getting into things they really shouldn't (looking at you, Casper
), they certainly do make our days better!
Basics
My loom finally arrived!
It was just before supper and I couldn't get it together
After eating and getting Dad's help, it's set for tomorrow!
I need to figure out how to tie off the last warp better, but it's ready!
I fell asleep on the couch with Nobu last night
I woke up to both Casper and Nox using my legs as a cradle
(My right foot was against my left knee and my right hip was unhappy under a 20 pound weighted blanket and 2 cats)
Then Nobu joined me again this morning
The lighting in the family room is quite good in the morning!
And my day has finished with cleaning the cats' fountain when one of them threw up after a hair ball
In the fountain
Cats!
Good: delivery put me out of my misery!
Happy: 3 cats in 1 day!
Congrats on your new badges!
Love kittens' photos!
Nobu's hair is so shiny!
(If I may ask, is Nobu's name after the chef, Nana's Nobu or...? )
Nobu's expression: if looks could kill!
Thank you,
@SwimMeow !
Considering Nox is his near identical twin and has more matte, soft fur, genetics are definitely wild!
Nobu is short for Shinobu, which can loosely be defined as shadow. It's to match Nox, which means night. They're both to compare to our all white Casper!
He doesn't love my attempts to get his attention,
@GentleOx !
Basics
I decided last night that I was going to take today off
So I slept in for half an hour
(My alarm was set for an hour and my body said nope)
I was visited by 2 cats who demanded attention
I procrastinated on exercising
And I have cooked nothing today
It's been excellent!
And! We have bought tickets to see Abigail in two weeks!
The whole family is going, so I sincerely hope the movie is as campy as it looks
Dad and I may be consoling everyone else otherwise
Good: took the day
Happy: a calm, quiet day was exactly what I needed!
Lookit that fluffy kitty! Who's a cuddly floofy void?
There are so many things to watch this month! Abigail (have a spooky time), The First Omen, Late Night with the Devil...
I love your cats!
And yes, that Casper picture is the very best
Thank you, @Anek !
Basics
NO HEADACHE TODAY!!!
My sinuses are draining rapidly, which isn't fun, but major progress!!
I thought to go for a bike ride today and instead had a nap
The temperature dropped about 10 degrees with the eclipse and though it rose again, I was very tired
Napped on the couch and only for an hour or so
I definitely woke up feeling mildly disoriented
The cats didn't care one whit
Nobu stole my hand and was adorable last night
Good: enjoyed the eclipse experience
Happy: sharing the eclipse with so few people made it very special
Thank you @Mamatigerj !
Basics
Caught up on Cardio HIIT
My headache is still hanging around, but it's much less today
The weather did clear up, but I did not ride
My sister came by for a surprise visit!
That's much more important!
(She would not have begrudged me the time, I just used her as an excuse. The amount of caffeine I've had today...)
In the past day, the backyard has been patronized by our tortoise, a chipmunk, a squirrel without tail fur(??), a baby rabbit, and a few deer
It's astounding what visits when Liam is no longer around!
Nobu cuddled last night, but I didn't get a picture
Good: exercised
Happy: BEE IS ENGAGED!!! (She's ecstatic!!)
Cool eclipse pictures!
for your headache
Thank you, @NancyTree !
Basics
Visited my brother's new place
It can definitely use some work, but he's willing to do it
Saw both of my siblings this weekend and will see them again next for the movie!
My headache has been less today
Fingers crossed it continues to decrease!
Nobu joined me last night and was as adorable as always
And Nox surprised me this morning demanding attention!
I love my babies!
Good: went to my brother's
Happy: great afternoon with family
Cat cuddles are just so sweet!
Basics
Pretty quiet day, all told
Mom and Dad watched Dune: Part 2 and had... thoughts
The director did say he didn't know how fans were going to take a big change he made
Nobu cuddled last night and briefly just now
The back room was open, so they've spent most of the day out there
I have spent hours doing not much of anything (so a little more than nothing ) and it's been lovely!
My headache was also much less today!
Good & Happy: good day!
