Sunday

 My oldest friend, Kelly, and her wife came over yesterday for supper. Because of Covid we haven't hung out for quite some time. It was good to see them!

They're vegetarians so I looked up some supper ideas on-line. I found a Gordon Ramsey recipe that looked good to me so I gave it a try. It was called Halloumi Courgette. Basically it was a veggie patty with shredded Halloumi cheese in it and several seasonings and then a watercress salad with baked tomatoes. It turned out pretty good I think. They seemed to enjoy it. So yay!

After dinner we went to the park in the neighborhood we grew up..I wanted to show them the walking trails my brother-in-law put in......we ended up reminiscing about the old days at the park when all the neighborhood kids would go there to play baseball. We were the real bad news bears............ We were there every free chance we had for several years to play ball. It's one of my favorite childhood memories. 

When we got home we sat on the porch, had banana bread, and chit chatted awhile longer. It was a nice afternoon and evening.

Today I need to do daughters laundry.

She injured her knee (dislocated it) while in Florida on vacation. I have her laundry here, will do it then take to her place tomorrow before work, take her to an ortho appointment and then I will go to work. Hopefully the day wont suck as bad as it sounds like it will!

Mr. Bojangles is doing well. This is his sleep time. He's in bed with me now, sleeping. Some of the time I think he looks like a seal. lol He's my little man, my little buddy.

My sister and brother-in-law have about a hundred acres in the county. They have a bunch of blackberry bushes. My brother-in-law brought a bush to me a couple days ago. My plan is to plant it today. I'm happy to have it!

Work is going ok.

I need to get back full time but keep putting it off because I just can't make myself take the plunge yet. The other day I posted an order to increase a guys blood pressure medication. Then for some reason I worried all night that I screwed the dose up. I didn't screw it up because I checked but still I worried.........not sure I need that stress in my life anymore.

Thursday

This is my grand-cat, Tye. He's one of the sweetest cats I've ever known.

Flowers my son gave to me for Valentines Day. :O)

The cat that lives inside Lowes. He's very friendly.

This is my new cactus, Lil Bastard. I named him that after his spines went through my gardening gloves and stabbed me. But still I like him!

This is my rooster. He doesn't have a name. I think he's cute. He was a gift  a couple years ago from my son

This is my new lamp. It's a bad picture. It's taller than in looks in the pic. It had a wood base that you really can't see. Anyway, I really like it.

 

Thursday

 There's not a lot going on around here. 

I went to Lowes today and bought some weed killer and grass feed. I also got some caulk and a piece to go on one of the down spouts. I got the weed killer put on the lawn and I attached the piece to the down spout. So yay! I will probably need the help of one of my sons with the caulking cause a ladder will be involved and I'm not very good with heights.

Little man (Mr. Bojangles) is doing well. As I type he repeatedly rubs the side of his face on my hands. His cold nose tickles me. I love pets.

I went hiking a couple of days ago. At one point a man was on the trail who kind of gave us the heebie- jeebies. We  went off the trail a few feet to put some space between him and us. I think I should carry a knife or bear spray while hiking. I feel really vulnerable out there some of the time.

This weekend I'm going to clean out my fishing tackle box, buy some of the things I need for fishing, and get my lines ready. I might even do a little fishing.

I guess that's about it for now.  :O)
