The last time Bela and I went to the “city,” we made a stop by a wonderful book store—A to Z Books. We love it there because the store has a mellow resident cat (!) and used books as well as new ones. Bela was lucky enough to find a book she had read before and loved (obviously) and a new one to keep her busy. I found a book for a friend (that I had to read before mailing).
Bela loves books almost as much as I do.
I enjoyed this book so much!
Bela was still coughing pretty bad yesterday, so she stayed home while I went to target shoot. 😦 for Bela; 🙂 for me. The target seemed really far away, but I managed to hit it a few times anyway. Butch (our coach)was kind enough to let me waste some ammo. When I told Bela I got to shoot the Smith and Wesson, she was jealous.
I have a few things to cross off of my list; maybe then I can have some type of closure. I doubt it, but maybe. I have made some decisions, and that will be that.
You might remember that Bela and I received a Try the World box featuring Japanese foods. We have not yet tried everything, but Bela decided to try the seaweed and tea this weekend. The tea was a hit! The seaweed, however, was not. Sometimes we need to work up to trying new foods.
Post-seaweed face….
Fortunately, we have also found Panda cookies in North Platte stores…we are always willing to try cookies!
I sure was glad to wake up this morning! I was having a really strange dream. The brain is an amazing tangle of synapses, and mine integrated some interesting items from my subconscious last night to form a frightening series of events.
For some unknown reason, I had been hired to sing some Spanish songs by Selena. Like that wasn’t odd enough, I found myself searching for a band to play for me. The concert was scheduled to begin in a few hours.
For you poor souls who don’t know which Selena I’m talking about, here’s a link!
We made it to Wal-Mart this evening even though I would rather have stayed snuggled at home with my little yappers. I found an awesome cup. It was a totally unexpected find, but I’m glad to have it.
Love my cup!
Bela got lucky and found some Pocky candy and some Panda cookies.
Forgive the quality of the photo, but I did what I could.
Since I’ve been blogging, I have learned a lot about the world. My humble blog has had views from a few places I’d never heard of before. Today it was Mayotte.
Every time I see a place I don’t recognize, I make a point to find out about it. I love to investigate and research, so spread the word (and the blog link) around so I can continue to learn new things!
I’m sure most people know how I feel about needles. Fortunately, Ysabela is fine with having blood drawn. I leave the room every time the “mosquito” person enters the room. I know my limitations.
Due to running out of her thyroid meds, Bela’s numbers were all out of whack—totally my fault for not getting her there on time for blood work and a refill. We have the prescription in hand and an appointment for exactly one month from today. This will be back under control ASAP. Nobody’s perfect.
I had the chance to have a leisurely day yesterday. I enjoyed the luxury of sleeping late, sipping my coffee and checking email while the rest of the inhabitants of the house continued with their beauty sleep. After my initial slothfulness, I took a shower, loaded trash and headed to my only appointment scheduled for the day (unless you count a hungry horse). You may wonder why I showered before taking out the trash. Good question, but relatively simple to answer. I had an appointment for a massage at 11:30.
A lady in town operates Sandhills Horizon Massage. She, Rebecca W., was kind enough to offer teachers a free 30-minute massage! I wasn’t about to let my certificate expire! I learned that the muscles in my forearm were stuck together. I spend a lot of time writing and typing, so it makes sense. My session was so very relaxing that I plan to make it a regular treat. My daughter will enjoy one in the very near future.
