Procrastinating a little.....


I love this little cartoon drawing!!  It gives us permission to stay in our PJs, have that extra cup of coffee, and sneer at any work that needs to be done!  LOL

I did get up earlier than yesterday. Made a big breakfast for us, and started cleaning.  Happy to say that the house is presentable, the laundry is half done, and the guest room is ready for Joey & Darlene (and the grand-pups).

My shower felt great! Amazing how grungy I feel when I can't get in the shower and wash my hair, etc.  Sponge baths just don't do it for me.  The little incision where they did the biopsy is a little itchy today, but not sore.  There is some bruising, but that is to be expected. Not really any discomfort now, but I am still trying to be careful.

Our wonderful neighbors, Bob & Ginny, just came over with a gift for Vinny.  He didn't run from them, but wasn't going to let them pet him.  He will enjoy the new catnip toy and all the cats will enjoy the treats they brought over.

We are getting a heavy, heavy rain right now, with thunder and lightening.  It was sunny and beautiful just 30 minutes ago.  I'm glad Bob & Ginny went home when they did, or they would be trapped here. They were heading out to Sam's Club, but I doubt they left in this mess.  It should blow over before long.  The radar shows it coming from the southwest, moving kind of slow, but it's not a big front.

I asked for prayers a week or so ago, for my friend Shirley, who was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She is recovering from surgery. They removed the bottom part of her esophagus and the top part of her stomach. She may get to go home (to her sister's house) by mid-week. I got word through the prayer list from my old church, that she is ready to receive visitors for short visits.  I hope to pop over to see her tomorrow on my lunch time.  Thanks for keeping Shirley W on your prayer lists. She has a long way to go.

Here is a photo of VInny, sleeping peacefully on Joe's lap earlier today.



Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!  Thanks for checking in, dear friends!  Peace, love & hugs.

  1. So glad your friend is recovering nicely. Love to see Vinny being happy and getting close now. I know you want everything in order, but since it is family, they understand more than outsiders, especially since your surgical procedure. Just be careful.

  2. I know Shirley will be happy to see you.I hope and pray she gets better and stronger every day.

    I think Vinny is enjoying being spoilt. Lucky little boy. Maybe he won't mind the grand-dogs too much. If I remeember correctly, they're little dogs.

    I learnt something new from a friend on facebook (she's also ex-multiply). She was complaining about the sand clouds they're getting from the Sahara Desert. She lives in Texas, and says when they get these clouds they don't have as many hurricanes. Did you know that?

    1. Brenda, I did not know about the sand clouds. Hope it holds true and carries over to Florida!

  3. Clearly, Vinny is enjoying his new home!

    I wish I had time to procrastinate. It feels like I did that all month long, though, and now it's crunch time. I have to write five stories in five days to make my deadline! It took me a whole month or six weeks just to write eight! Sigh. There's always something calling for my attention. I have good intentions, but this is nearly always what happens: last minute rush.

    1. So people (me included) work better under the pressure of a deadline. Keeps the blood flowing, I guess! LOL

  7. Sorry I'm late getting here to read your Sunday post. I'm glad you're doing well. That itching can be aggravating but that's a good sign that it's healing. I pray your friend will be ok. I'm sure she'll be glad to see you.
    Vinny does look very contented now. Even getting gifts from the neighbors! Wow. Now all you have to face is him meeting his "cousins" this week. lol
    Hope you're having a good Monday.

  8. Good to know Shirley is now ready to get on with the healing process. A good shower is something I try to always be grateful for, I can't imagine having to do without one for very long.
