Holy Moley Cat Woman!!!!!

 It's about to happen.  Mom spent yesterday and this morning telling me NOT to be in the way, NOT to escape, NOT to meow overly much, and to be a good girl AND to use my own litterbox regardless of the hubbub and not the floor.  PLUS my client will be here again.  He's 11, so he has ceased eating MY food, messing in MY box and playing with MY toys!  Now.  Not just my client- but the feller who is installing the door today.  At 10am.  But you know how time goes when it comes to workmen coming in.   Want to see it?  Or did I already show you? 

It will be painted brown as is the old door inside and out.  He may or may not paint today. My client will be here with his Mom probably within half an hour.  The workman, the same, if I am lucky.  Me, I will probably stick a wrench into the works with everyone trying to keep me from making a tour of the great sunny outdoors.  Mom may have to move my litterbox into the hallway 

Oh, Mom made a big to-do about the temp in the house with the new HVAC.  Hate to tell her, but when it is running is no lower than 72 degrees in here and can rise to 75 before it starts cooling again.  So it's HER, not the unit.  Poor thing.  She must be getting used to it.  I no longer see the pretty blue- violet flannel shirt on her.  And the nighties in bed at night have lightened up. Sheesh! 

Mom's faintly duded up.  She was on her way to make a quick trip to the C.U. when she got a text that my Client was coming over.  Mom wanted to get the C..U. over with before the worker guy came, but with the text about the Client too, she came back in.  (Mom is impressed with the worker guy's musculature!) 

I'll just run along and try to make mom nervous about what I will do with the front door open (and gone for a space of time)

In the Middle of the Night! Typo creations. Sigh.

 Kitties!  I came howling down the hall in the deep dark nite nite time last night and did a super job of waking mom.  I was loud..I was persistent, and again, I was loud.  Mom gave up and called me.  I kept right on with exceedingly loud honking and snorting in the dark.  Mom kept calling me.  I came into the bedroom, still darker than a cup of coffee if I drank that stuff (she does!!) and finally shut up.  Mom said "come 'mere".  I jumped up and walked to her head.  I snuggled into her neck and shoulder.  This morning, she saw it was DUCKY who came in!   I sure announced him spectacularly!  I haven't bought Ducky in years!!  All my main toys are in the living room waiting for me.  I never bring any from my own room aka the computer room.  Wow.  That sure got her lively there for a little while.  

Mom said the new front door will be here Saturday a.m. It won't be installed till Monday.  In a little house like this, it's to be leaning against the wall somewhere in the house till installation day and that  is going to be awful.

Mom said she has some no-fun-at-all appointments through the week.  Just two of those.  But a welcome visitor for several hours tomorrow.  I think I'm cold.  I know Mom is.  The thermostat for the new unit is set at 74 but mom is wearing a flannel nightgown, but just under a percale sheet..no blankie.  And a flannel shirt sometimes in the day time.  Never been that way.  Think the old dead HVAC must have been blowing overly warm air when A/C was required and overly cool warm air in the winter. Mom had to keep messing with the thermostat.  A new indoor thermometer is coming over night so we will see what the temp really is in here! She said getting out of the shower each day is like going into polar air.  Tiny bathroom and boy!  The  cold air blowing on a wet person is not fun. I guess I'd rather this than that horrible three days and nights of heat and humidity in the house that we endured a few weeks ago. 

If Katie had a grandma this would be her! 

I'll be seeing you over at your place after awhile.  I get to be on mom's lap regardless of her circumstances starting at 5pm.  I don't even feel sorry for her.  It's all about me.

The Mystery is Solved! I think

 

Donkey Needs Help!!!

 Kitties!  I don't know how this Anaconda got in...HELP!!  Mom went to get the broom so she can hit him with the stick!  But will it be too late?  That's my DONKEY!!!  He almost has Donkey and his tongue is reaching out to assess his tenderness.  HELP! Maybe she oughtta get something more lethal.  HURRY Mom!  OH NO!  Mom slipped on a banana peel...I will swoop in and save Donkey myself.  I can DO IT!  I learned tactical skills from mom  and I am approaching from the Anaconda's back section...I'll leap over him and snatch my Donkey away!  Hold my Temptations! 

Brovver Gone

 Kitties!!!  Brovver went back home this morning  He lives in Charlotte NC.  We enjoyed every moment.  Now it was hotter than you-know-where from early Saturday afternoon last week till midday almost Tuesday this week.  We really suffered some heat here in the house.   It got up to 86 and very humid in the house. I didn't sleep with mom as the big box fan which hardly did any good was too loud and Brovver had one on his room too...same thing,  They hauled them into the living room when they each got up and I still had to deal with all that noise!!  I was hot too.  Those three days and nights were awful.  BUT because there was no reason to do a lot of things besides installing the new one...it all got done so quickly!!! About 2 hours.  Took up old one- put in new.  

WHEW!  Now Mom is cleaning house.  Guess I should let her up from the computer.  She has work to do.  Next is swabbing out the entire bathroom, and  then, vacuuming, and swabbing out the KITCHEN too. 

If you want to help, come on over and get her started in the kitchen by sweeping before she mops. 

My Mother's Day Present for Mom

 Look Kitties!  It took all my saving in my little treasure box but my Mommy is worth it!  I can start saving again for Christmas.  She LOVED it.  I hope you enjoy it too.  She's concerned about leaving it out in the elements but I insisted.

Brovver is here for the week.  We are roasting alive in here...85 degrees in the house.   New AC will finally get put in tomorrow after  three days of sweating!  Brovver went and bought two big box fans one for him and one for mom and me to sleep with.  But I was too afraid of the noise and windage to stay in bed.  I got up...perched on her chest and hopped down not to return.  New AC will be here tomorrow morning.  

Sending headbonks to everyone. XXOO  I think Mom is sending them too.  (Mine are softer and sweet though)

The Decision

 Kitties, it's close to half and half on the vote, so I am going to make Mom make both desserts.  She already has the cinnamon crunch made.  

Guess what?  Mom was in my room tromping around  doing her low impact aerobics.  She commenced to sweating.  Not terribly but definitely, she was "endampened."  When she was finished and actually wiped her brow and upper lip...she went into the hallway to lower the temperature.  Nothing happened.  She tried several more times,  nothing.  The fan was spinning out there on the HVAC but..nothing coming thru.  

Mom called the company, though it is off hours, to see about someone coming out.  It was mid 80's in here.   Someone did come...Mom left a message and said she had the yearly maintainence  squared away for $199.00 back in March.  When the tech came out he found the blower motor was dead in the water.  Gave up the ghost.  Dead dead dead. The cost to replace that  motor was shocking.  Thousands, and would have to be ordered Monday anyway.  I said as I had been given an estimate for a new one, ad not being willing to invest in a new motor to a 15 yr. old HVAC..and she was getting a new one... he texted the owner, who said in that event, they would be out Tuesday  And no change for this visit since a change was imminent... which would have been just over $350.00 to come out and tella fella what is wrong.  Whew.  The guy, mom told her DIL, was cuter than a bug in a rug!  She said she woulda scooped him up if he wasn't the same age as all her sons.  MEOW.  

Brovver will be here mid afternoon tomorrow.  He has two desserts for the next several days and Mom will make the lemon cake too.  If you, any of you, want to hire on as one of her sons, at least you'll eat well. 

Mom said it's past the mid 80's in here.  She has an old old fan she'll use for the next two nights.  Ceiling fan in her room was dangerous-- so the electrician took it down.  Rest of the house has ceiling fans. 

This is a blog Hop.

Coming Attractions

Kitties!! 💥  My two foot brother will be here Sunday!  Shall I have mom make him cinnamon crunch cake or lemon pound cake?  Going to be one or the other.  If you say one or the other here...mom will count what you said and make whichever got the most "votes".  If there are no votes, she'll just have to choose on her own.  The cake is glazed with lemon glaze...the cinnamon crunch makes you roll on the floor quivering and asking for more.  Whattya say? 

Weather is sunny these past three days.  Mom's roses got over-dry...all of them.  Each one is starting to bloom all over again.  Making new little branches too.  It's her fault.  She didn't water them in time.  Won't happen again she said. 

 Sunrise time so early gets me and Mom up earlier than we would like to be,  Neither of us can sleep when the room is so lit up.  

Mom will go off and leave me today.  Her going to be bizzy.

So far, I am eating decently though Mom had to open the fourth can day before yesterday. I have always been fed a variety of flavors.  Still am.  So not stuck with just one flavor... but this fussiness is quite a waste of food.  

Mom is annoying when she is glued for THREE hours (well, off and on...) to re-runs of CSI.  She has even (I can't believe it of her) craned her neck trying to look around me at the screen!!!  AROUND me, I say, when I hop up and sit on her lap looking in her face waiting for the usual kissies on my head and both cheeks!  Now me, I won't watch.  It has so many scenes that remind me of when I chase and catch mice!  Ew.

See ya soon...
