Some chit chat.

Well, it’s not been much fun for me recently. Firstly a hand injury has kept me from doing much of anything on my computer. I can at least work while wearing a brace to keep movement restricted but it is very painful. And then I had to put my dog, Quigley to sleep. I’d had him for 15 years. He was dumped inside the fence of my back yard as a pup and was the best sweetest boy. I feel his absence all of the time. When I reach over to rub his ears. When I come in the door and look for him to peer up at me from his favorite spot on the couch. For him to look in at me through the window when he wants let back inside. And when he comes over and lays his head on my knee to have his cheeks rubbed. I was there when he took his last breath, and as hard as that was, I’m glad I was with him. I recall something I’d read once in an Ann Lander’s column and thought I’d share it with you.

A DOG`S PLEA

Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I might lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world`s sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when the sound of your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.

Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.

Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.

And, my friend, when I am very old and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun. Please see to it that my life is taken gently. I shall leave this Earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands.

Stay safe and take care!

It’s been raining most of the week and now we have a tropical storm in the Gulf and getting some serious rain. Guess what that means???? Movies, shows and books are the order of the day. I get to sit back, relax and get lost in other worlds and characters. Gotta love rainy days sometimes:)

Stay safe and take care everyone.

Wouldn’t you know it. I had two days off in a row and it rained both of them. LOL Not to let that get me down, I took the opportunity to do some serious reading. I read five books! And I’ll be sharing my thoughts about them soon. Each one was a winner for me.

I also caught up on some shows and started a new one. Have any of you watched Glee? I stumbled across it and thought, how fun. Revisit high school. What was I thinking. It took me down memory lane. Some things not good at all, and some things wonderful. And the music! I loved so many of the songs. And the dancing. My feet were tapping each number.

And then on a more serious note. Many leaders in Alabama refused to make it mandatory for everyone to wear masks in public. I understand it’s a tough thing to enforce and raises many questions about people’s rights. But….. since we started reopening businesses, our cases are increasing at such high rates. We have many cases right where I work. Thousands come through there every week and most don’t wear masks even though we do. Wearing masks protects others more than ourselves so I was frustrated. They are hard to breathe through and make you so hot. Our governor made it mandatory to wear masks when in public on Wednesday. I went to work and all of the customers either wore their own or we supplied them with a free one before entering. I was very glad to see this happen.

Stay safe and take care everyone.

I’ve been working a ton of hours and am exhausted. I apologize for not visiting your posts much this week. I just felt overwhelmed by all of those emails and my eyes kept blurring when I tried to read.

I did finally finish watching Downton Abbey and I want more! I love the show. Made me laugh and made me cry, a lot! And then I rewatched The Hunger Games movie series. It was a whole lot of fun, again!

Stay safe and take care everyone.

I hope you all had a safe and fun 4th Of July! I had to work so nothing fun for me. Used to be, my dog would be hiding in the closet for several days. Everyone sets off fireworks for days and he’d be so scared. Now he’s deaf and doesn’t hear them so he usually sleeps right through it. I wish I could. LOL

Been raining a lot here so not much time for the pool. Instead, I’ve been taking some little naps, catching up on shows and enjoying some good books. I finished watching the Harry Potter series and now I’m back to watching Dexter. Such a fun and twisted show!

Stay safe and take care everyone.

It was a productive week for me. I managed to do some much needed weeding in the yard and the flower gardens are looking spiffy. We had some rain this week and everything has grown like mad. I also got some house cleaning done but still have more to do. Then I started organizing the books stacked all over the house. That will take a whole lot more time. LOL And I finally got my son a new cell phone. His last one was stolen and I kept putting off the long drive to the store to get a new one. He really likes it and I plan to update mine next week. Have my eye on a new one that will be available in a few days.

And I finally started making drafts for all of the overdue reviews I’ve needed to get to. It is a lot of them and I plan to share several each week to catch up. Got some fun ones for ya!

Stay safe and take care everyone.

It’s been an uneventful week for me. All work and mostly no play. I did get in some reading time and actually finished some books. Surprisingly, several of them were romances. Not my normal genre and that was fun for a change. Other than that nothing much new to report.

Stay safe and take care everyone.

We had our first named tropical storm come through last Sunday. The eye was on New Orleans but the wind and rain were on the east side of the storm, which meant we got a lot of it. It got kind of creepy that night. Howling winds and I could hear branches snapping. No real damage though and it brought a cool front that gave us sunny skies and low humidity. Other than that the week was pretty much uneventful. Went to work. Came home. Fell asleep trying to read. Repeat. LOL

Stay safe and take care everyone.

I had a fun week revisiting some favorite movie series. I watched the Jurassic Park series. And then I started on Harry Potter. I plan to watch the Lord Of The Rings after that. And then maybe the Alien movies or Resident Evil.

I did some yard work trimming trees and repairing the fencing. Then I spent some time in the pool. Couldn’t motivate myself to clean the house though. LOL It’s time to take a break and pick up a book.

Stay safe and take care everyone.

With all the craziness going on right now I shouldn’t have been surprised that I neglected some things with my blog and reading. But I was! I have a freebies page where I share free books. When I checked it, I realized I hadn’t updated it in quite a while and a lot of the books were no longer free. I plan to fix that. And when I checked my review page, I was stunned at how few reviews I’d posted. When I thought about it, I realized my lack of reviews was due to working so much that I had less time for reading. I’m now busy making a bunch of review drafts so I can sit down and write those long overdue reviews. Needless to say, I’ll probably fail any challenges I joined this year. And because of this, I’m already starting on my Halloween posts. I do it every year, sharing a review of a scary book each day for the entire month. This I will not fail do to!!!

Stay safe and take care everyone.
