Today we opened up one of the packages of new coffee beans that the Beast had ordered from Amazon. It was a Kona coffee blend and I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. I'm telling you, at this rate, I am going to have a very hard time adjusting to regular coffee when that time comes....and I am sure it will. But, in the meantime, at least we will enjoy this blend. I think I was expecting it to be much stronger but the Beast said he had ordered a medium blend. The next bag of coffee is going to be stronger he says. Ugh! I suppose we can get used to it. We sure won't want to waste it. It may even make us cut down on just how much coffee we drink in a day....LOL. Who knows?
The Beast is about ready to set out traps or some such thing for the feral cat that haunts our deck. He has learned how to push in the plexiglass sides of the bird feeder that he has on the railing (to facilitate taking pictures of the birds). When the cat does that, he makes all the bird seed fall out of it and onto the floor of the deck as well as over the side of the railing. It's a mess. He knows it's the cat because he caught him at it this morning. It's the second time that it's been done and now he knows who is guilty. When I told him to hang the damn thing up like it's supposed to be, he shot me a hateful look and said that wouldn't work well for pictures. *Sigh*
So it was sweep up the mess and refill the feeder. Although he DID only fill it halfway instead of as full as he could. He's going to screw the top down on it as well as the sides. It will make it a pain to refill since he will have to unscrew the top every time but at least he won't be setting out poison or some such lethal thing for the cat.
I'm enjoying the Turner Classic Movie channel this evening. They have some old movies on (Mothra and Them!) that I am in the middle of watching. I'm not interested in the Wasp Woman but it IS an oldie (1960). Them! is even older (1954) but I still like it for some reason. It's really primitive compared to the movies they make nowadays but it brings back memories to me of seeing it at the show with my sisters at the time. It scared the hell out of Cee at the time but she was just four then.
The Beast has already retired for the night. He's expecting a friend to come over early to pick up a training collar for his dog. The Beast picked one up for him today since his friend has his business to run and not much free time. This is one of his friends from Church and I have no idea what time he opens his shop but I think it's around 8am. Thankfully, his shop isn't all that far away from us on the main drag through our area. He's not my friend so I can stay asleep...LOL.
It really has been hot and surprisingly humid even though we really haven't had any of the rain predicted for us. I believe it has rained a bit further north but not here locally. The Beast has been miserable. I've been very comfortable, thank you very much and he really can't believe it. But at least he doesn't give me a hard time about it. He just shuts the doors to our bedroom and the guest room and the guest bathroom while he turns on the AC unit that cools the kitchen, dining and living areas. Thank goodness this house is not all that big.
It's 10pm and still 80 degrees outside. It's only supposed to go down to 70 for a low tonight which is a rather nice temperature, I think. It will be great for sleeping. Speaking of that, it is where I am heading shortly after I get this posted.
Love you all. Hope you are enjoying the Hints. Have a fantastic Friday and an even better weekend. ***Hugs***
HINT: Add up to 1/4 teaspoon olive oil to your cat's moist food to stave off hair balls and make his coat extra shiny.
