My Civil Duty . . .

Spent the morning in court on Jury Duty, have to go back at 1:30.  Guess I'll be picked.  At least it's criminal so it'll be interesting.  Last time sucked.  I worry about leaving the house like this plus we have a delivery scheduled so I'm worrying about the little dogs and the kittens.  Worried about Annie or Snoopy biting someone.  But we'll see.  Got it to do.  At least I get out a little.  Downloading a second movie of the day, The House of Usher.  I was able to get 4 of the Good Witch movies, not great uploads but they'll do till I can get the dvds.  Found a box set of em but the source has a lot of complaints about pirating and scams, so, I'll keep looking.  Perhaps Hastings will have what I'm looking for.

Finally!

I finally get to watch seasons 5 & 6 of The L Word!  Woot thank you Netflix!  I'm starting with 1 and working my way up though.  Still going to try to find them on dvd.

Still waiting for it to cool down, it ain't happenin' right now and I'm just sick of summer.

In addition to the 5 kittens we now have 3 pups but I doubt they survive.  They rarely do here.

My Thoughts On A Monday Afternoon . . .

A good thing for me to do daily is:

At night's end empty and rinse the mop bucket and mop.

Right after coffee patrol the premises for trash pick up and sweep.

Well, it's been fun.

Another Bad Day . . .

I've been waiting for the other shoe to fall and it has.  More shit more threats, more misery.  It would be better for me if this place was just pulled out from under me and I was left to the street.  It's sad when something that is yours REALLY isn't, that anyone who wants it can take it away from you.  And that's not just me that's everyone who's reading this.  If you're a conformist you've nothing to fear, not really.  But it's hard to please everyone and someone can start not liking you and there will be nothing you can do about it when they start going after you.  Not unless you're rich and then it's worse.  WAY worse.  I pity the wealthy.  I do.  I'd love to do a survey of them and write a book on the various ways people try to manipulate money from them.  I bet every day there are hundreds.  It's just they can afford to roll with it better than us.  We poor, we just get smushed underfoot.  Because we cannot fight.  So I'll let you know how THIS fight goes, if one ensues, I can't win.  So if you don't hear from me again, you'll know what happened.

So . . .

I'm trying to find a replica of the vase shown on Under the Tuscan Sun.  Impossible, but I figured I could find something SIMILAR.  Possible but gods the COST!  Found a medium aqua vase, very simple, for get this $136!!!  WOW!  So next time I'm in WalMart I'll see what I can find to be MY little keepsake vase.  If y'all find one shoot me a link, alright?  Posting a pic here so you can see what I'm looking for:

I abandoned the search.  I actually found one like it, sort of but decided I don't need it, as I have my own 'special' little vase.  I will get some small silk sunflowers and that will fix me up.

I'm really sad right now, we lost one of the kittens.  I wish I could say it was from illness but unfortunately,  it wandered out and has disappeared, surely to be killed by our terrier 😭 and I am just heartbroken I cannot believe that happened 😭.

I certainly don't want anymore puppies or kittens born here.

I am happy to report, the kitten has surfaced, had NOT gotten outside, is fed and fine!  😄
