Good morning everyone! Friday was a real roller coaster of a day. First, I realized it is a 3 paycheck month, so much happiness. Right after that, I got the call that a friend is dying. She was released from the hospital to home hospice. The family does not want visitors or calls. It was Bunco night, but I kept getting calls from friends of the "did you hear" variety. She has had stage 4 cancer for a decade, and has really declined recently, so no one is shocked, just sad.
Saturday got off to a rough start, with Chelsea hiding instead of going to cat clinic. I ended up having to leave her. We had two new cats, a 9 and a 13 year old, we expected to be hard to place. They already have an application and we are hoping it will go through. The x has DD16 this weekend, so I had free time and took myself to Hotel Transylvania Saturday evening. Silly and amusing, just what I needed. The movie price wasn't horrible, but the Icee was $4.75!!! I called the xBFF because in grad school we were movie buddies, but it was her daughter's last evening before heading to college, so definite no go there. She talked about getting back into the movie habit. She may be resurfacing after three years of nothing but boyfriend.
Sunday, I had to get Gypsy's shots then the cat coordinator and I delivered her to her new home. We were going to wait on having her meet the dog, but she was so relaxed and at ease, the dog was brought in. She was on the stairs and they looked at each other, no barking and she sprawled on the stair with complete confidence.
When I got home from dinner, I got very little done. Just the daily stuff. I did get in some dance and am continuing the Halloween style because it is fun. I am trying to clear out my freezer by eating out of it and have another boring lunch. I got a catalog in the mail that has Halloween stuff and things that might work for Christmas present, including one for me. I will have to look at my debt to budget ratio tonight during bills and budget to see what (if anything) I can order. I also need to cook something, dance, and work on Christmas crochet.
DD16's first day of 10th grade is today.
