Ragdollcatlady's Just a Little Patch of Weeds Farm journal

[ragdollcatlady]

I have good news and bad news....

My pants are falling off. That's it. All my news. Good cause 25 of the 30 lbs I've lost has stayed off, and we won't talk about the other 5 (they are currently not allowed to speak as I am terribly mad at them!!!) But it makes it very uncomfortable to do anything!. The capris I was wearing earlier kept slipping down while I was out and about socializing with Doodles, and my jeans kept slipping while I was out sorting wood from the giant pile for a few hours, like the whole time!

They make belts or suspenders for that........or a New wardrobe.

Or a nice piece of rope like Ellie Mae Clampett used, infinitely adjustable as you "downsize"

I am too casual to use a belt.... gotta find it and put it on every time you get dressed.... I barely bother to put clothes on when absolutely required by societal standards. Seriously, I do not recommend peeping in my windows or over my fences, unprepared! LOL! Mostly just because wear "orphan outfits", abhorrently unmatched things like pink PJ pants with an orange Tshirt or something equally horrible that looks like a 3 year old dressed me, but you never know. (I also may have heard it said that I am allergic to clothes... .)


Ok, ready for another TMI story??? Of course you are, you are here already and this is the kind of stuff I share. So I started my day somewhere around 5:45. Totally normal. Had to use the loo. Sit down and relax, still half asleep, Doodles comes charging into the bathroom, full speed ahead, throwing open the door with some crazy puppy energy, just to say hi, cause everyone loves puppy play while they are "otherwise engaged" and still mostly asleep right? .... still kinda normal up to this point.... but instantaneously, a feline furball exploded like fireworks behind the toilet!!! The toilet I was sitting on. Apparently the new, old cat was just chillin behind the toilet, minding her own business when Doodles scared the crap out of her, and she out of me!!! I grabbed Doodles by the scruff, scaring the crap out of her now, because I never handle her that roughly, literally throw her out the door, shut said door (but can not lock it cause I can't reach from my position on the throne) and try to placate a furry spitting firework that is still sputtering full of fire immediately behind me, while trying not to get caught up in the storm of claws! Talk about a crappy start to the day! I had enough adrenaline to get through the rest of the week at this point, but nowhere near enough caffeine!!!!

And yet... this is still, just the way things are in my life! Everyday! What a wonderful life it is!

Just imagine that same exact situation....minus anything being in the room with ya....and since it is just Joyce and I the door doesn't get shut....and in a stooper state thinking about getting back to that wonderful pillow....when all of the sudden here comes Calli....our inside cat....wanting to show ya ber new Toy that she just caught and places it at your feet...and all of a sudden ya realize it ain't Dead yet.......needless to say, but that wonderful pillow would have to wait til that nite, cause there certainly is no Hope of getting back to sleep now....

Geez, given the earlier part of the sentence, seems like you were done with your business by the time you shut the door!

Well,yes... but a girls gotta compose herself after that much excitement!

I made it to visit my DS2 and see his plays. And I just got word that he passed his driving test!

When they heard my plans to see my kids plays, my mom told SIL that she should have her baby that weekend since I was coming to town... SIL said no, 2 more weeks. Baby came that night , I got the message shortly before I was getting ready to hit the road on my way up there. I told them that was my baby... of course she would come when I was going to be there!!! I mean come on!

So last weekend I got out the circular saw (which I am NOT afraid of) and went to town on all the smaller branches. I made a nice little pile of sticks on the porch. Might have to resort to the chain saw again tomorrow...

This week I have been trying out a sourdough recipe. I don't make it very sour so I could use it for garlic bombs, cherry rose rolls, and cinnamon rolls. The garlic bombs are just rolls with garlic and melty garlic/ cheese inside!!! Cherry rose rolls have canned pie cherries on them. I have been enjoying the fresh bread projects, though my 'diet' hasn't. I haven't gotten as many gold stars this week, but I am giving myself a bit of a pass since it has been a rough week.

And since my life isn't complete without something going wrong.... New adventure update.... My truck decided she hasn't had a date with the repair guys recently so she sliced open a tire on me last night while out running errands! Called a coworker and her other half to come help change the tire, thank goodness they were available (and now I know where and how to change it)! My spare was a full sized excellent condition tire so that is good, but I went down and replaced the broken one today in case I need another one tomorrow. With my luck, I just never know!!! Still cost $75 after a $40 partially warranted adjustment. How come she gets more dates than I do anyways???? And expensive ones at that!

I've had my own tire issues lately, so I feel ya....but mine was $600 not $75....but, I'd rather know that the problems should be at bay for a few thousand miles anyways....

Well, I had all 4 replaced, just last year for a lot more so I should a had a lot more wear before needing to replace one. That is why part of the replacement cost was covered under warrantee.
