Quarantine and chill and kindness chatty clubhouse: Jump in and join the conversation! All is welcome!

Good morning. It is 70 now with temps heading to the upper 80s. Yesterday was a hot day. Unfortunately we did not get any rain which we do need. But tomorrow should be cooler. My allergies are acting up so I took some sick time yesterday and did some chilling out and self care. I have worse allergies in the late Summer and Fall than in the Spring. Kenny and family are back from NH today and I will be heading over to see them. It was so hot in NH all they did was the water park and the pool each day which they do love.

Off to work. Have a good day.
 
It's now 71 here and says it's going to 88. 88 is better than 98! Anyway we did get some rain after 5 or 6. There were also some thunder rumblings but nothing particularly close.

DD made dinner, Hello Fresh burritos of some kind and DGD's who spent the night, declared them delicious and ate all of what was on the plate. I had an alternative meal as I prefer more veggies or in last night's situation, all veggies. Not a big carnivore, but DD is.

Yesterday I was planning to take the grands to Target for some back to school stuff (It's tax free week here) but we had company for most of the afternoon. Maybe I'll get them there this morning.

The younger cat (12ish) in my menagerie is getting aggressive towards the 16 yo female Persian. She is just 16 this August and only weighs 6 and a half pounds. Perfectly healthy so far, but has been trying to spend more time with me so he's jealous and territorial.

They each favor certain people and areas. He goes into my room and has a mat on my bed. The oldest old guy (17) mostly stays upstairs and comes down to eat and to sit in the bay window for a bit. Persian took over the cat tree and doesn't share it. Sleeps at the top during the day, sleeps in the enclosed lower box at night and poses on the other shelves as she feels up to it.

We keep two litter boxes, one in an upstairs bathroom and one in the seating part of my kitchen where no one sits since I have a litter box there. We eat at a table in the 'old' kitchen away from the newer and double the space kitchen. Only Persian should be using that litter (minimal waste) but big guy comes down and dirties it up when he feels like it. I'm scooping it whenever it has a deposit.

Anyway, DGD's started planning their breakfast and asked for Panera and I said ok. "But, I was planning pancakes and eggs and I can switch.' They quickly reversed on Panera as they love my pancakes and scrambled eggs.

Right now they are still asleep but I will start the batter in a few minutes after I unload my dishwasher (it usually gets run overnight).

Target opens at 8, I believe, so I doubt we will get there early, but maybe by 9ish. After that, I would like to do other things but somehow I believe I'll probably be at the whim of the girls whatever that may be. I don't mind as time gets short so quickly and it's best to make good memories while you can.
 
@Snowysmom , I hope your allergies don’t bother you as much today! Here it’s 75° and heading into low 80’s. It was very humid yesterday.

@Judique, enjoy your special day with your Grands!

My sister, Tom, and I went to the pool yesterday morning, and only two other friends were there. We love it when that happens, and it feels like we have a private pool!

I have a mammogram scheduled for this afternoon.

I enjoyed a steamed lobster from Shop Rite with my sister and her friend’s family yesterday. The watermelon was so red and tasty! We have gotten good ones this year. And the Jersey corn was sweet! Nancy has a covered deck, so, we ate outsde, and a hummingbird visited while we were eating. It was our first hummingbird sighting this summer!! I guess we just weren’t out at the right times this year before!

Enjoy your day!
 
In other news, a friend and her mate who need a bit extra cash have agreed to do a full cleaning job on my kitchen. It's too big for me as I have 10 ft ceilings in there, fans that need cleaning, glass fronted cabinets, exhaust fan over the stove, exterior of appliances that need the stainless application, hardwood floor, shelving, sitting area, granite cleaning and her mate will also get to clear my sink drain. Plus 3 sets of windows. I wrote down what I need so there are no surprises for them. Oh yeah, I have a ton of glass backsplash.

Insides of the big appliances are fine as I run self clean on my stove and recently cleaned my fridge interior and the dishwasher including it's filter which DD didn't even know it had.

There are a LOT of cabinet surfaces to clean which is what is also difficult for me and too high. I'm just not doing the step ladder anymore. The last cleaner emptied all the cabinets and rewashed the dishes that weren't dirty but she insisted. (I do tend to use most of my stuff and it goes through the machine.)

We will also be sorting for donation as I have too much stuff, and this friend is merciless when it comes to clutter! (I need that right now!)
