A Day for Hot Tea

I love the time of day when I have fed the cats, and I can just sit and finish my coffee. Zara usually jumps on my chair when she's done eating, but that's okay. I tell her that I need my Vitamin Z (Zara snuggles) every day.

I went out and picked up library books and Harlee's new meds. I've made an executive decision not to go to the movie tonight. The snow and cold are extremely uninviting, plus they're predicting sub-zero wind chill tonight. Not. I think that a better use of my time would be to get the Roku set up so that I can see movies any time that I like. Plus renting movies from Amazon is a lot cheaper.

I have hot tea steeping. I think that I'll drink some tea and read, and then tackle the carpet. Or the back door.

Success

Fixed the back door doorknob (I think). Washed the carpet. I originally got my old Roku 2 set up, but it wasn't working with Amazon video or Direct TV Now. Set up the new Roku streaming stick. It works with Amazon video, but couldn't get Direct TV Now set up because my browser is too old. (I'm using the old XP laptop because my newer one isn't working.) It was too late to watch a movie, but started to create a playlist.

Was about to clean the bathroom when I realized that I was hungry.

Shopping the Sales

I was reading a book called Suddenly Frugal. In it, the writer was talking about grocery shopping for sale items. I logged onto Kroger's Web site, and found that Zara and Mimi's wet food is on sale for a really good price. Plus they have a sale on chicken thighs for $0.99 a pound. (I still want to eat more veggies, but I'm not going to go strictly vegetarian right now.) I found a slow cooker recipe for Honey-Garlic Chicken Thighs. So that and some rice are on the menu.

I went to give Harlee her pill, assuming that it would be a little pill like the other one. No, it was an enormous capsule. Crud, I thought, how am I going to get her to take that? I covered it with two Pill Pockets, not doing a great job of it because the capsule was so large. But I'll be damned, she swallowed it.

Wrote in my planning book, and I'm off to bed. I want to get up early and do some stuff around here before work.
