I hope the visit went well!   Do Jona and the cats get along with each other?

It went fine, thanks! I'm home again. Had some lovely play time with Jona. He's now 10 months, and absolutely gorgeous!

My cats and Jona don't get to meet each other. They stay in the guest room where I sleep, they have food and litter tray there. Because my sond and d-i-l also have a cat, and we don't think it would go over well to let them meet each other. She would likely see them as trespassers in her territory.

Hiya BetterMost friends.

Happy Hump Day!



Had a social distancing lunch with a friend yesterday.  I made myself a salad and some chicken, and went over to her house.  We sat on opposite sides of her large front porch, and we visited for almost three hours.  It was good to catch up with her.

Today I had a bit of a sleep in, and then went to Target to pick up some new stuff for the apartment.  My broom, mop, and scrub brush for the bathroom are the same ones I've had since I moved in, and they were definitely showing their age.  LOL  So I went out today and got replacements.

Ah, ok!  I didn't realize that they had their own cat.  I can see why you would need to keep them separate.

So now you have something to use when your car is in the shop. ...

I bought all those things new when I moved from Australia 10 years ago. I think they will outlive me. I do not like the mop, it is hard to wring out but I only mop floors 2 or 3 times per year. I do need a new straw broom for the garden, they tend to wear out.

Decades ago, in a now-long-gone toy shop, I saw a Barbie dressed as Samantha riding on her broom. I wish I'd bought it.    I adored Elizabeth Montgomery.

Hiya BetterMost friends.

The week is flying by, and that means 'staycation' is almost over.   

I have about 4 more weeks of time to us, so I guess I should schedule it soon!  LOL   It has been suggested that we'll be returning to our office for September.  However, NJ cases are starting to go up again, so who knows if that will be true.

Anyway, we are only allowed to carry one unused week of vacation time to the next year, so if I don't use at least three weeks of my time by the end of the year, I lose it.  The only day I have scheduled off is the day after Thanksgiving.

Don't encourage him.

Truth be told, I was never that big into Bewitched.   I liked Samantha, but Darrin and Endora annoyed the hell out of me.

Truth be told, the ones I had were not new.  When I moved out,  my mom used the opportunity to get new stuff, and I took her used stuff.  LOL  That worked for me.  My small apartment I didn't need new stuff, and mom's larger house would benefit from new stuff, so it was a good solution.  I have no idea how long mom had owned it before giving it to me.
