I had to do some more wash today. Not one of my favorite things but a necessary one. I went through some of my lighter pj's (that had been packed away) and got rid of the ones that were old and worn. I can be a pack rat at times but many of the ones I had packed away were really OLD and worn out. Some of them were actually too big on me or had elastic that was broken and I had to use ribbons I had threaded through the waistbands to keep the bottoms on me.
Since I used the gift card I was sent to buy some new pj's for warmer weather, I knew it was really dumb to keep the old ones. I will have to pack away my warm pj's when Spring finally hits us here full time. Since my bff, Carol, sent me three new pair of warm pj's, I thought it was time to clear out the old Spring/Summer pj's and replace them. Some of them I remember wearing when we lived in the Ft. Lauderdale area and I was a LOT heavier then. That was more than 15 years ago now. Yikes! How time flies!
I made us some tuna ala king for dinner tonight. That was something I hadn't made in ages and it sure hit the spot. There's enough left for us to have for lunch tomorrow....if I can get the Beast to eat it as a leftover. He's not really good about that except for when we have spaghetti, which is something else we haven't eaten in a while. Hmmm. I'll have to have him make some so he doesn't feel I am totally replacing his efforts. He's actually become a fairly decent cook in the past few years. At least, for some things. His potato pancakes are popular with the whole family especially since he started adding more grated potato and not been puree-ing them all. They have much more texture now and that's the way *I* like them....LOL
I'm enjoying going to bed early most nights now and getting up early. I do take a short nap on those days that I am up before 8am but not long ones or I end up staying up later than I want. If I am not asleep by midnight, I don't usually fall asleep until around 3am or so and that means I sleep until noon. I hate that because it seems like the day just flies by and I don't really accomplish anything.
I am amazed at times with how much the cat puts up with when Dennis *plays* with her. He gets really rough at times but he doesn't seem to hurt her any so it must look worse than it is. She keeps coming back for more but will hide under the coffee table or one of the end tables when she has had enough. Dennis takes the hint, though and then leaves her alone. But he worries that she is going to get one of his treat bones if she goes near them. He looks hilarious when he puts two of them in his mouth at the same time (they are the stick shaped kind) because it looks like he's got two cigars in his mouth. He'll keep them in while he walks away from where she's laying down and puts them where he feels they are safe from her. It's funny because she had never shown an interest in them at all.
It was really cold and windy today. It even sprinkled for a bit but didn't really rain. We had frost last night and that has probably killed any hope of fruit on any of the producing trees we have. It's this weird weather that caused many of them to blossom early. Too early. Oh well.
It's already down in the lower 30's tonight so we will probably get more frost again if it goes down any further. It's hard to tell some nights. So far, I've gotten no alerts about that but it could still happen.
It's hard to believe that we turn the clocks ahead this weekend. That seems earlier than normal to me but we'll do that before we go to bed tomorrow so we don't forget. Don't YOU forget to do that.
Love you all. Be happy. Be kind to all. ***Hugs***
