Crud. Oliver Is Out Again.
Nov. 2nd, 2025 12:57 amCrud. I forgot to renew my car registration. I’ll need to get up early one day next week and go to the DMV.
I think that I found a Halloween decoration that I want—an animated singing skeleton. I’ll sleep on it, but I think that I want it. And maybe I could put out a Bluetooth speaker and play wails. And maybe wear a witch costume? And “park” some witches’ brooms?
I wound up staying up late messing around on the Internet. I had some problems falling asleep because I hurt. Woke up at 10:30 AM.
I’m telling Bella that I can pet Gracie if I want. She says, “No. I was your first dog. I deserve all the pets!” Gracie likes the new Milkbones.
It’s been a three-ring circus here, but I fed us all. Nap time.
Had a nice nap. Ate lunch. Got my groceries so I brought some in.
Checked the refill on some of my meds and it’ll be on November 4th.
Showered. I have a big, ugly bruise on my left knee from the fall yesterday. I think that I’m going to work upstairs until my hair dries. Then I’ll clean off the porch. Started laundry. My stomach is upset, so I’m going to lie down for a little while. Slept for three hours. I feel shaky. And I have IBS symptoms.
Got the front stairs mostly cleaned off. There are a few big boxes that I need to get tomorrow.
I forgot to mention that I finished the Cary Grant book a few days ago. I want to see To Catch a Thief, Indiscreet, and Bringing Up Baby.
Fed us all. Put away some stuff I bought. Started reading a bio of Rock Hudson. I think that I’ll go back to sleep. I’m going to sleep in my clothes so that I can get up and just do stuff.
Crap crap crap. I saw that it's supposed to go below freezing tonight, so I brought in the rosemary and Italian parsley--and Oliver got out. I tried opening the front door, and he came on the porch, and I was able to touch him but couldn't grab him, and he ran back down the stairs. I hope that he doesn't freeze his little butt off.
Now I am going to bed after I pay my car registration. (I realized that the registration was for the car that I'm not driving now, so I can get it by mail.)
