Nice lazy start to a Saturday with my weekly "treat" breakfast of a slice of bacon and a small glass of OJ along with my black coffee! I fix hubby his big biscuits and gravy breakfast with eggs and bacon. I just can't eat that much in the morning.

Taking another day off to go to a benefit and then a winery this afternoon with friends. Feeling a little guilty when I look at the housework I've been neglecting while working up all my end-of-the-garden produce! Oh, well. It will still be there tomorrow, right?!

Considering there's just me and one cat, my house is messier than it should be. I'm in a very lazy phase right now. My sleep is not great, and I'm tired all the time. I vacuum every day, though you wouldn't know it, since Dude is like Pig Pen in the Charlie Brown comics; everywhere he goes, he leaves a trail of fluff and fur and leaves from out on the balconies. I brush him at least twice a day and still there's fur everywhere.

Good afternoon, went shopping this morning. We had a scary Great time last night. Halloween Party at the Eagles tonight. I will be a witch, Robert won't tell what he is going as it's a secret.

Hagatha, you said it's just you and one cat? I thought you had Willow and Dude?

hagatha, did I miss something about Willow? Hope everything is ok.

Busy times here and I'm working all day today. I'm already exhausted with two days of evening work and today I'm taking 2 pups to a wedding in the country of their parents. I just got off work for the morning and and have a 2 hour break before the wedding dog duties begin. I am really looking forward to tomorrow where all I have is 3 boarders, Nugget and nothing else! I can get caught up on things before I start over on Monday!

And we were glad to hear Nugget is OK again!

No, I still have two. See? Brain fog?

The SPCA had Dude described as a lazy old cat who would sometimes play but mostly wanted to sleep. Nothing could be farther from the truth! He's the feline version of the Energizer Bunny. In, fact, it's Willow who is the lazy one. I can't take her out for walks anymore because we have a cougar roaming our neighbourhood, so she sleeps and eats and can be roused to play with enough provocation.

Whew! You had me worried there hagatha! I was afraid to come back to read your reply!

Ana, I hope Nugget has forgiven you!

No, it was just a poor edit. I was going to say that have two cats but one of them makes all the mess, and didn't edit the sentence properly. Willow is alive and well and annoying me right now because it's getting close to dinner. They get hangry and start swatting each other. I's hilarious.

I got all more chores done today which means I can have a lazy Sunday.

Good morning, Danish Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Breakfast out this morning.

Good morning everyone

Hawaiin Kona Coffe, Scottish Breakfast Tea and bottled Fiji water in the Break Room.

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Have a Happy Halloween, eat candy as you pass it out.

Bagels and coffee thank you Gerry and Connie. I like your thinking Connie, I will need to make sure the candy does not good bad during the evening

Beggars night here. Bring on the kiddies.

Most of the houses are dark (like mine is). I don't know if there are any trick-or-treaters out there. I haven't heard any. But somebody thinks it is the 4th of July. A lot of booming fireworks out there.

Since we live out in the country, we don't get trick or treaters. But the neighbor's daughters each have little ones. So, every year, they walk over to trick or treat here! They were just adorable in their little costumes. And we got to sit outside and talk to the girls. Bella the Bloodhound was in heaven with the little guys here... she just loves them. But that was it! So, now I have a bunch of candy to get rid of. Neither hubby or I eat the stuff!

I completely forgot about Halloween, but the kiddies won't come here anyway since I have no decorations.

I was at the hospital today for the yearly torture scan, and it was a surreal experience for me. I hadn't been there since John died, but we must have been there hundreds of times over the years, and he was there for almost two months in May and June so it felt like a kind of home away from home. It was almost as though if I went to the elevator, and pushed the button for the third floor ward where he stayed for those two months...well, it felt like a strange version of Schrodinger's Cat, where he could still be there as long as I didn't go up there and see that he wasn't. The strangest things go through my head sometimes.

I'm all set for my trip to Victoria on Monday, going down there for two nights and back on Tuesday. It's just a little jaunt for fun. I hope the weather isn't too awful.

hagatha and safe and happy traveling!

That had to be surreal, hagatha. Enjoy your trip to Victoria!

It'll be fun. I need to get out of here for a little while.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Lunch and Hulu with a friend today. Very few trick or treaters last night, those that came got lots of candy.

hagatha, will you just set your automatic cat feeders for when you're gone?
