I've been fighting allergy symptoms for several days and today I don't feel the best. So, cut me a little slack Froggy! (You know you want to get on me because it's been a few days. :) Do I know you or what!)
Last week had some interesting weather. Wednesday was odd. I don't think we even made it to 80! It was so nice, it was a very pleasant change from the warm and icky weather we've been having. It hasn't been "hot", but then I go by TEXAN standards so my version of warm might be someone else's version of meltingly hot. But the point is, it was nice and I enjoyed it. We've had a few days of rain, Yesterday was rainy for most of the morning and into early afternoon. I had plans to go to two neighboring towns on an errand for Froggy, but I decided not to after seeing the radar and the storm prediction. It wasn't bad in terms of tornado alley bad, but there was a lot of water and some localized street flooding. So my plans changed. When Otter got off work at 2:00, I picked her up and work and we went across the street to Hobby Lobby. After we shopped, I took her back across the street and dropped her off at her car. This morning, we were planning on visiting one of the other 2 churches we are interested in but then we woke up to a pretty loud thunderstorm and a lot of water! The power went out for about 30 seconds, which was B.A.D. because the coffee pot was only about half way through! It came back on quickly, so I pushed the "on" button on the coffee pot and it finished. That was a good thing, because I desperately needed caffeine this morning.
Otter came over to do her laundry this morning, Maggie Moo didn't get a walk yesterday because of the rain or Friday because it was just rainy enough that she wouldn't go outside (she might melt, you know!), so she was raring to go this morning. When Otter got here, Maggie Moo was overjoyed and then she was even happier when she got to go on a walk with her Otter. (Maggie made a new friend on her walk today, a young female pittie mix puppy who is just the sweetest, goofy baby!) I wanted to get something at Wallyworld, so Otter and I ran up there after she got her laundry going. When we got back, we went through the fabric boxes that Otter left here. She cleaned out a small amount and got a few things to take home with her, but most of the boxes will go back to the closet. Which is fine with me, they are not in the way and she doesn't really have that much room at the moment. She may get some or all of the fabric later on, but it's fine if they stay here. She gave me one of the picnic baskets - the original one that I had and gave to her, and some of the stuff in the boxes was mine so it's now in the picnic basket. She left the large plastic tub full of her silk flowers and another box of misc. stuff that she'll get in the next few days or we'll take to her if we happen to be heading in the direction of her apartment. We also stopped at Subway to get lunch to bring home after we went to Wallyworld, we all got foot long sandwiches with the idea of getting two meals out of them. Bill's having his 2nd half for dinner at the moment, I'll get to mine eventually.
I don't remember if I mentioned it or not, but we're closing our booth at the antique mall. We're paid through the end of this month, next weekend we'll bring the machines home. I told Otter that we might want to borrow her car, since these are restored machines and could be damaged if they are tossed in the back of the El Camino. I also might need to borrow her car one day to get myself to work, since we're probably going to put new tires on my car this week. She's agreeable, we buy her gasoline when we borrow her car!
In the news this week, former President Jimmy Carter has cancer and it's spread to his brain. He probably doesn't have a lot of time left. I have never made a secret of the fact that I think he is the worst President in recent history. I'm not too impressed with some of his actions/statements after he left office,specifically his comments about Israel. But as a human being, I do feel for him and I wish him the best with his treatment. I also think that he is a genuine Christian and not a "show Christian." He needs our prayers as he faces what is probably the final battle of his life.
I rearranged some of the kitchen decor. Actually, the dining room. I have a triangular plant stand, it's tall (5 or 6 shelves) and is designed to fit in a corner. I moved it from where it was to the other side of the dining room, it's now beside the china cabinet and the trash can is moved to where the plant stand was. I'm going to hang the 5 ceramic and 1 metal pie plates on the wall that was formerly covered up by the plants stand. It makes the dining room look better, less cluttered and all I did was move two things to the opposite side of where they'd been!
