Thursday, August 4, 2022 Partly Cloudy Slight breeze 89 Degrees 6:08 p.m.

A busy day around here. Tina took the car to the car doctor this morning. they brought her home and they still have the car. After she got home she made some blueberry lemon bread, vacuumed the upstairs, and cleaned the Robo cat box. That meant taking it all apart, washing it out with soap and water, each part, then drying it and putting it back together. Meanwhile I cleaned the “sewing room” where we have the cat box set up in, vacuumed the office, dining room and entrance, and did a lot of pick up and put away. We both gathered things to go to Karns when we get the car.

This afternoon we played Yahtzee and now it is news time, and dinner time. She has a sore throat so I think dinner will be soup. Jerry also has a sore throat and has allergies. I believe Tina will try for the same thin. Yes, all have tested and have come back negative.

Sierra was due to go to the vet tomorrow for a urn test and to be shaved. I guess she got a reprieve on that visit. Maybe Monday, I know she won’t mind at all. She is a home body and not one who enjoys car ride to anyplace.

We did get the rainstorm last night and it was a good one but I don’t think it lasted very long. It was at bedtime so I probably slept through most of it. I got the beginning and that was all. We are supposed to get some more tonight so we shall see.

Quote of the day: “Sometimes I’m tempted to adapt a line I see every day on my car and transpose it onto the full length mirror in my bedroom, It would say images in the mirror are smaller then they appear.”

Have a great rest of your day. Make it relaxing enjoyable, energetic, and fun.

Wednesday, August 3, 2022 Sunny Still Humid 91 Degrees 5:06 p.m.

A day that started out foggy and ended up sunny and beautiful, but humid. A doctor’s appointment this morning, then a stop at the pet store for food for Sierra and Milo. They now each have different food. She is being the Deva and has to have Hill brand cat food. The vet said she has high triglycerides and may have hipper-thyroid. She goes back Friday for a urn test and to be shaved as she knots up so bad. That long hair gets tangled and we can’t seem to brush it out.

Then a trip to Kroger’s. I hope we don’t have to go shopping again for a month. Eggs and milk won’t last a month but the rest should.

Tina made a loaf of bread yesterday and it was wonderful so I think we will be making our own bread for awhile. We have a bread machine so that will help. It smells so good and tastes great. I haven’t tried the bread in a sandwich as yet but it should work well.

The above picture is of the giant crab. It is much bigger then a king crab and looks like he should be in a sci-fi movie. He was really big and not to friendly looking. He had a “room mate” as big as he was. What an interesting place that was.

Not much else going on here so I believe it is quote time.”

Quote of the day: “I’ve been very good about watching my weight. I watch it go up and down and up and down. I heard someone call this “The rhythm method of girth control” My calendar

Have a fantastic rest of your day. Make it cheerful, energetic, adventurous and fun.

Tuesday, August 2, 2022 Partly Cloudy Windy Humid 90 Degrees 5:28 p.m.

It has been a busy day around here, just doing the household chores. Tina has a back ache and I contribute that to moving things and also carrying Sierra in the cat carrier yesterday. Sierra weighs 13 pounds so being in the cat carrier it is cumbersome to carry as her weight isn’t distributed evenly. And she isn’t a willing passenger.

The above picture is of the normal sized sea horses. they are very interesting creatures. They seem to cling to the plant and not move around much. I would of liked to see them swim or something. They moved a little but not much. Maybe they take afternoon siestas. There is so much to see in that aquarium and so much to read but that part is harder to do as so many people trying to do the same thing. The writing is on the narrow frame of the glass en closer so it make it hard to see with people watching the fish.

We have had mostly sunshine today and it has been nice. I understand the rain will be back in the forecast tomorrow, and for the rest of the week. Also the high temperatures. So we will enjoy the sunshine while we have it. The rain is welcome in most areas but not the flooding that Kentucky and other areas of the south and north east have experienced. It is sad so many are missing in Kentucky. From what we see on TV, the place mostly affected is like a canyon area.

The kids here are back in school so once again we see the school buses picking the kids up and bringing them home. It seems that the cats enjoy watching them as they both sit in the windows and watch. I guess that is more fun then watching the birds and lizards. The backpacks look heavy and the kids look tired as they leave the bus stop and head home. It sure makes me happy that I am not in school.

Quote of the day: CHURCH BULLETIN BLUNDERS: “The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind; and they may be seen in the church basement on Friday.”

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a successful, substantial, adventurous and fun day.

Monday, August 1, 2022 Cloudy Windy Rained 79 degrees 3:30 p.m.

Another rainy, windy, cloudy summer day here in Oak Ridge. The temperature is wonderful and the humidity isn’t all that bad. Or I am getting use to it. All in all, not a bad day at all.

The above picture is of one type of sea horse that was at the aquarium. I can’t figure out how to make the picture smaller so will have to work on that. but he is one interesting creature for sure. They have other seahorses that are of normal size and look like the ones that one usually see in an aquarium. I wish I had been able to get the names of all the fish and other creatures that are living at the Chattanooga Aquarium. They have some fascinating fish and other creatures. Be sure to fix your computer or notebook or whatever you receive this blog so that you can see the picture.

With all the rain we have had the gutter drains from the roofs are clogging up. It has created some problems with minor flooding, especially for Julie and Jason. He has been outside working on that most of the day. It is a mystery that his outdoor spick-et, with one hose, makes the water back up out of one of our gutter drains. So weird. Another secret of Oak Ridge Tennessee. So far there is no answer as to why that happens.

Quote of the day: PRICELESS GIFTS TO GIVE FOR FREE The gift of a favor; Every day go out of your way to do something kind for someone.

Have a great rest of you Monday, the first day of August! this year is flying by quickly. Make the day profitable, pleasurable, positive, pleasant and fun.
