Mindless Thursday

Jewlieee

My washer is leaving little brown marks on my whites.

There.s something called Washer Magic made by Summit that's supposed to remove scale and rust from washers.Never used it though.

I have to bring my car into the dealership this morning.I've only had it a few weeks and it's got deep scratches in the window from raising and lowering.It's going to take hours to take the door apart and replace the window so I have that to look forward to.

It's a super hot one here today--predictions of 99-100. Yuck. Next week does look better, so that's good. Providence decided to open the water parks today but the pools are still closed.

Tena, good luck with the car. That sounds really frustrating!

I haven't tried the Washer Magic either, but it sounds promising.

I got nuthin' else so far. I'm already melting.

Bugsy would like my yard since I've got a new family of baby bunnies coming over to eat my tasty grass/weeds (I don't put anything on my lawn). They are cute, that's for sure.

Lisa, I hope Riley's procedure goes well tomorrow.

Tena, hopefully you can get a courtesy ride somewhere so you don't have to sit at the dealership forever.

Julie, no help here on the washer.

Kate, hope you can stay cool and dry.

Not much excitement here, which isn't necessarily bad.

It is not gawd awful here yet.  Will be but for right now it's almost pleasant.  For sure a day to get my stuff done as early as possible and call it a day.  In and out of AC all day and the first blast of hot air in the car, just doesn't help much.

I should get another article written for the paper today too.  I suggested and pretty much implemented a two page spread every week for shelter pets.  We feature a dog and a cat (normally) from two shelters right now and looks like we'll be adding a rescue next week.  Big surprise that I'd be working on something like this, huh?  But, anyway, the Editor likes to have some content along with the critters and ads, so I do that too.  Thinking it'll be animal obesity for next week.........

Off to slow poach!  Have a good day everyone!

which reminds me today's near breakfast was a gray rabbit - ours around here are always brown so I wonder if it is a domestic rabbit that got loose or offspring of one. I believe he found the den so it lives outside in the fields now

 Oh Glenda NC (and the Southeast in general) lead the nation in 'animal' production and complete carelessness. Having looked on the net only cottontails and marsh rabbits are native wild rabbits so this one was definitely domestic or related to domestic rabbits.  Certainly have never seen one in the wild before. Our SPCA always has a few for adoption though.

There are oodles of mutant domestic geese and other waterfowl at the lake too. Horrible issue with hogs in NC that started as domestic or farm raised that wind up in the wild and mutate to feral in a generation or two.

Feral cats and dogs are rampant - and I live in the big city (which it isn't and where I live is rural-suburban so plenty of natural areas) but outside of the 'cities' the sheer amount of strays is staggering

OK must stop thinking about this at this time so I can do some work

I managed to get caught up on stuff when working here at home yesterday, so I'm hoping for a stress-free day.

I seriously can't believe it's only Thursday. It feels like the longest week ever. I'm taking the week of 4th of July off and also the last week of July when my friend comes to visit, so July is going to be a very good month.

Just got off the phone with U of M to ask if Riley should take her meds today (this morning and evening).  They informed me that someone will call by 7:00 PM with details for tomorrow's surgery and could answer any questions I had at that time.  I told her to stop and think about my question and think about what she said.  Took her about 3 minutes to get it.

Someone else should be calling me back shortly.  Sorry, but this does not make a worried momma feel better.

Lisa, that's so ridiculous for that woman to give you such a stupid answer. I'd mention it to whoever calls you back so they can have a talk with her.  Try not to worry and stress too much.  We'll all be sending tons of good thoughts and vibes for Riley and for her worried momma. 

I posted some pictures on FB of some of the tomato hornworms we got off our plants yesterday.  I forget that some people are creeped out by such things. lol  I bet you guys didn't know that they make a noise when they're disturbed.  I didn't either until I heard it myself.  Ticking type noise and I have no idea how they produce it.  I put some of them in a container to give to someone and when they had eaten all the leaves I put in there, they started making that ticking noise. 

We only hit 90 yesterday which is much cooler than most of the Northeast.  We're heading into some 100 degree weather soon so I won't be gloating much. 

The flooding in Duluth was insanely scary looking.  I felt so bad about the zoo animals that were killed in the flooding.
