Did I?

Kitties, I left you wondering if I got my brushies.  I did.  It was late afternoon, the sun was coming in the windows.  Mom got the Zoom Groom out and started my brushies.  I loved it,   I settled right down.  Got bushels of furs out.  Then she ran the human hair brush over me (I love that too) so as to get the loose furs there before I ingested them and returned them for cleanup later. 

Mom mistakenly picked the wrong workout when she got to the track this morning.  She accidentally hit "swim" and had no earthly idea how to stop it.  And she sure did try!  For hours. To no result whatsoever.  Oh, wait.  She said she rebooted the watch 3 times, unknowingly.  Sigh.   Her entire workout was not recorded but the 4.25 miles she swam were-- and she got maybe half a mile down in swimming around the track.  Pi$$ed her off.  Totally messed up her accounting of exercise for the week with this false reading.  

One of the brovvers sent her a uTube video on how to stop the thing!  That was long after she got home and had given up till whenever.

She had had another BLT, way too early for lunch, but again, that oatmeal ain't worth killin'.  She said she could eat a bucket of the stuff (dried cherries and chopped walnuts added) and still be starving an hour later.  The two eggs she has alternate days don't help a whole lot more either!  So, BLT, lemonade and Dr, Pepper will be coming right up.  

Here's what greeted us this morning.  Mom didn't get trapped outside in her nightie this time.  She now puts a book between the screen door and the jamb and her on the deck, while trying to take a freezing cold picture. 

sun ball is a'comin' up.

Katie, I'm with you on the brushies. I demand them daily at 5:15 and I git 'em too. But then Lynn is ready fur her footsies up and me on her lap. I don't often delay. I have some sun puddle today as the cold wind is not coming thru the storm door today. I love your sunrise. Lynn just knows the mileage she does here and writes it down. Too dumb fur watches, mol.

@Lynn and Precious. Or...Precious and Lynn ,I mean: I use the watch for time, but also for distance, heart rate, and steps or galloping. :-) my Vo2, all those stuffs. The work expended and the actual exercise minutes.

Dearest Katie Isabella,
Wow, what a story here... The brushies of course were perfect but not that workout!
This morning, after too much pain for sleeping at night, I got up worked on our tax prep and then went to bed late and slept till almost 11:00 AM.
When I got up I could for the 1st time since accident—put my left foot flat on the floor without having to tip–toe due to excruciating pain the calf region.
Well if a car hits your leg with 35 it makes you nauseating from pain.
Big hugs,
Mariette

PS am at my iMac and was quite productive today. Can sit with difficulty as the metal (?) part in the back of my knee immobilizer hurts like hell when actually sitting on it. It is probably too high up my thigh. My friend the RN will have to look at it tomorrow around 11:00 AM when she is going to take it off so I can enjoy a shower + shampooing while seated on the teak stool. Then after relaxing on the bed and hopefully napping, at 2:00 PM she will put it back on. Will fold a beach towel for under my wet long hair of course...

It's about time the brush came your way, Katie - and I'll bet you look fabulous for it (as always). And swimming around a track is grounds for annoyance, I agree.

Oh boy! The sun is gonna shine on you, Katie!

Your poor Mom. I am glad you got some brushes

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

Tech is good till it isn't.

Glad you got a good brushie session, Katie!

Dear Katie Isabella, my mommy says she writes stuff down on papurr, cuz teknollygee will poo on her evfurrytime. Oatmeal does nuffin for her either. She remembers the old days when instant oatmeal first came out and she was in grade skool. Her mom expected her to eat one package. Well, that would last in her tummy until she walked to skool and then she'd be starving. So she would make 2 packages and it still didn't hold her to lunch. These days she eats oatmeal only as a mid-morning snack cuz she says its the devil's porridge. Beautiful sunrises. We got them things at our house too. Love, Dori

I am about fed up with modern devices. lol Can you send a message to my floofball Polly about the joys of grooming? I won't force her and can only get a little done nowadays despite waiting for her to start grooming herself. ~sigh~ 'Sun ball' cracked me up. Best wishes, my dears!
