Sadly that is what happens, my last kitty stopped grooming himself and just kept losing weight. I hope your kitty gets better.

QOTD- 7 countries, so many more I want to see.

I almost bought a new refrigerator yesterday, until finally checking and rechecking the measurements. The one I wanted was too wide for the space, another one was too tall. This is a very small space and I was wanting a refrigerator with ice and water in the door. Unfortunately the ones I found only have water, what's the point if the ice is inside? The options are to cut the counter, or cut the cabinet above the fridge or just forget it. I hate the current refrigerator it groans- literally sounds like an old man groaning and freezes my yogurt and other things on the top shelf.

My roommate is leaving tomorrow, and one of his girlfriends is freaking out. She took the day off to spend it with him. He needs to go to the DMV and do Doordash, Instacart or Grubhub. I'm not sure why she is so concerned. He hasn't dumped his other girlfriend and this one doesn't know about the other one. Basically I say make up your mind, he wants her to dump him but she isn't doing it. Someone sent him flowers for VD, I know that they weren't for me and there was no name on them and they were left in our front porch. I actually didn't see them until yesterday.

I'm actually looking forward to having the house to myself. I'm tired of visitors and having to deal with all of it.

I need to get back to work.

Have a great Friday everyone!

QOTD- I mostly took my lunch, and it was probably too healthy.

My roommate got a job that hopefully will last more than a day. He has to go back to Utah for a 1 week class. They are giving him a rental car since he refuses to fly with his legs jammed into the seat in front of him. He'll be gone for a week and then be on the road. If he is out for 18 days he gets 3 days off. So I probably won't be seeing him very often. His latest girlfriend is still in the house, she came over on Monday and will leave today. She works Weds- Sat at a residential drug rehab facility. She's an RN. She seems nice enough.

My Fitbit One is no longer holding a charge, I have another one that I'm using. I also have a couple of Fitbit Flex 2's that I used to have a magnetic holder for, that I can no longer find and I can't locate one on Ebay. I don't wear a watch and don't like to wear anything on my wrist, so if these die I'm not sure what I will do. Apparently there are a couple of them that you can get a 3rd party carrier for, so if I need to buy a new one I'll try one of those.

I'm watching Prime Suspect on Britbox and I cringe at all of the smoking in it. I know it was the early 90's but it just amazes me how much things have changed, for the better. I used to work in an office that allowed smoking and it was awful, I liked working in the equipment room as there was no smoking allowed due to the electronics. Back then it was Pacific Northwest Bell.

My roommate gave me flowers for Valentines, really nice.

Have a great day everyone!

I found something horrible at Costco. It's a chocolate coated chocolate mousse made in Belgium. I put it down and walked away, but came back and bought one. Talk about sugar overload, but it was so good. There are 6 to a package and I froze them so I hopefully won't be eating another one soon. I shared it with my roommate and his friend, but still managed to eat most of it. Beware!

I've discovered that there truly isn't enough time to read all of the books that I would like to. I realize how many I have missed and would now like to read. How do you balance that? I can't spend my life just reading as much as I would like to. I have discovered that I'm not as well read as I thought. How could I have missed so many books and great authors?

Enough ramblings, I need to get to work. I didn't really have an answer for the QOTD, I guess that they weren't very memorable.

Have a great day everyone!

I forgot to mention that my violets are blooming, love the sweet scent. My flowering plum? tree is blooming too. Pretty little pink blossoms. Maybe it is spring or at least the flowers are convinced.

QOTD- No filter here, my roommate calls it Splicer Mode as in (Cable Splicer). I've spent my entire work life in non-traditional jobs working almost entirely with men. I also have no poker face...

I went to the wool sale on Saturday and got to see sheep, an alpaca, a gorgeous huger rooster and other misc. animals. I was good and didn't buy any more fleeces. I still have a large garbage bag filled with fleeces that I need to wash and process. It's more of a summertime thing. I did talk to some of the people there and got some advice on my roommates spinning wheel. So for me that is a win, I don't normally talk to people. But like I told my roommate they are my kind of people, they spin and knit and have the same interests so it's easy to talk to them.

I didn'****ch the game, but did find the Jason Mamoa commercial, it was fun. I don't know about any of the other commercials.

I will check out Tracker, Justin Hartley is easy on the eyes...

Have a great day everyone!

I need to do that, I have such limited space in my kitchen. I try to get rid of the mismatched containers, but I'm not always successful, my roommate contributes to the plethora of plastic containers. Even after we bought the glass ones like you have we still have too many plastic ones.

QOTD- No unless it's my team I have no interest in the Super Bowl.

Menopause sucks, I had a hysterectomy so was in instant Menopause. Hot flashes are no joke. I still find my body is not as good at regulating its temperature as it used to be. I used to love the heat, but find it's hard to tolerate now. I go from being hot to being cold, but upper body is hot and my legs and feet are freezing. My solution at night is to shut off the vent in my bedroom so that it cools down the the mid 60's. I always sleep with a electric blanket, a wool blanket, and down comforter. In the summer I ditch the electric blanket. I have 2 weights of down comforter but find I can't use the heavier one any more. Aging is not for wimps.

I wasn't very good yesterday. My dinner was a bag of popcorn and a box of Milk Duds. Way too many calories and no protein. I've been really good sticking around 1000 calories and 70g of protein, but not yesterday. I don't even want to enter it into Fitbit, but I will.

Still having issues with my work software. It is not working, so I can't work. Very frustrating! I've created 2 tickets but no response yet.

OK I'm really late to the game but started watching Doctor Who on Britbox last night. I've always kind of avoided it, it just seemed pretty stupid. But I've seen the first episode from I think it's 1963 and it wasn't bad, so I will continue. It will give me tons of things to watch. I'm hooked on Line of Duty, and have been watching one my old favorites Waiting for God. I love British TV. I've read almost all of the Ann Cleeve books so I started watching Vera and will watch Shetland. My roommate doesn't understand my obsession with British TV.

Have a great day everyone!

QOTD- Bakery overload. Cinnamon Rolls, ginger snaps, fruit torte, dutch apple pie, pumpkin scones, fresh baked biscuits with fresh raspberry jam or honey, fresh baked bread...you get the gist.

The scale is not rewarding me for the lack of wine. It's just depressing. Plus I need to get my ass out there and do something for exercise. Sometimes I miss my treadmill but not the space it took up. When it's pouring rain and I don't want to venture out or deal with people. I'm afraid I'm turning into a recluse. I find myself less tolerant of people...I guess I'm just a sad lonely person. My only escapes are books and TV, not much of a life.

Sorry I'm feeling sorry for myself, I need to just Snap Out of It as Mary Engelbright would say.

My annoying work is calling on the other computer so I need to go.

Have a great day everyone!

QOTD- The hunger was totally gone after surgery. Now it's more I feel weak like I need to eat, but not true hunger. I've pretty much stay on a schedule. I do know that I get grumpy when it's been too long since I've eaten.

I feel that meme, it's been 16 days and I weigh exactly the same. Still no alcohol. I also have substituted fruit for the salty pretzels or chips I used to eat.

I finally made it to The Boys In The Boat. It was good, the book was way more detailed. There was popcorn and milk duds. My popcorn and drink were actually free due to my birthday. So the whole movie cost me 50 cents. It wasn't my favorite theater, no recliners and the seats weren't that comfortable, and my legs were freezing. It was the only theater that was nearby that was showing this movie. I also ended up with a metal popcorn tub that has Saw X on it, I never could watch those movies.

I miss football. But I'm not going to watch the Super Bowl. I don't like either team, especially KC. The only thing that interests me is the commercial with Jason Mamoa with a imitation of the Flash Dance water scene.

Have a great day everyone!

Watch out for that tree!!!

QOTD- I signed up a week before surgery, but I remember lurking for a while before I posted.

So far the rain has missed us, sorry CA I'm not sure why and it looks like it will be sunny for about 4 days after today. I need to make sure that I get to the nature park. Today I get my hair done at 3, so it won't be today. It will be too dark by the time I get there. But at least the days are getting longer approximately +1 minute a day.

I hate my scale, it was the same as yesterday but when I stepped on it a second time it went up 2 lbs then again another 1lb the 3rd time. Just take the first reading and call it good. I just keep hoping it will drop a few lbs but so far no. I have been so good and I feel like the scale should reward me, but it hasn't.

I'm not sure what happened, I used to workout 6 days a week and that was while I was working in person. I don't know how I fitted it all in back then. But I can't seem to get myself going. I haven't been to the gym since Covid, so I just need to do it.

Have a great day everyone!

You made me laugh! I know what you mean.
