Some chit chat.
Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!
It’s good to be back. Went out of town with family last week and had bunches of fun! It went by too fast. LOL Got back to some serious heat waves. Heat index warnings around 110. Yikes! That pool never felt better!
I was thinking about my fur babies the other day. All of them are getting up there in years. My dog, Quigley, is going to be 11. He no longer will jump up into the SUV. I have to practically pick him up and at 90+ pounds, it’s a chore. LOL
My cat, Sheba, is over 23 years old. She no longer likes to jump up into her chair, and prefers to snuggle up on the couch. Still a seat stealer though. I swear, I get up off the sofa and don’t make it three steps before she’s moved into my spot. And she now sits at Quigley’s bowl when I’m preparing his food, and she actually eats some of it before she’ll let him eat it. I think it’s the gravy she’s liking. He will lay nearby and wait for her to be done, even though he’s so much bigger than her. Cute!
And my little parrot, Spot, (my son named him!) is in his twenties. He no longer builds nests in the paper on the bottom of his cage but he still makes these cute high pitched chirps to his girlfriend in the mirror.
Seeing how they’ve changed and mellowed with age has me reflecting on how I’ve changed. I no longer want to rush out and stand in line for a premiere showing of movies, or go to loud concerts. Certainly don’t miss the pub scene. I’m more content to be at home, enjoy the pool, binge on shows and movies, and, of course, read my books!
I try not to fret so much at how my body looks different. Those wrinkles that stare back at me in the mirror. The crepe skin that’s starting to appear. I’m concentrating more on trying to like myself. And I quit smoking! It’s been two months now. I know that doesn’t sound long, but if you’ve smoked for as many years as I have, it’s a lot.
Enough about me. Let’s get to all of the books from the last two weeks!
I’ll be hopping over to check out your Sunday posts so be sure to leave me your link.
