Furry Bedmate

When I woke up, Zara was sleeping on the bed with me. Awesome. I missed having a kitty sleep with me. Good to see her relaxed and lounging.

 

I must be getting old. I look forward to getting AARP magazine, and it's the only magazine that I read cover to cover as soon as I get it. Rita Moreno is on the cover this month, and she looks really good.  

 

Tried to take a nap, but couldn't fall asleep. Zara was lying next to me, and I didn't want to be too restless because she'll reach over and smack me, so I got up. (This place is not-so-secretly run by cats.) I need to clean the bedroom, but I think that I'll start in the bathroom and kitchen to give Zara a chance to nap. 

 

Spent some time poking around AARP's travel site, looking at hotels in NYC and Burlington, VT. (I don't think that Mom would stay in an Airbnb.) Found some possibilities. Looked at tickets for Broadway plays. (I told Mom that I wanted to see a Broadway play and go to Ground Zero in NYC.) Hamilton and Harry Potter are at a ridiculous price, but some of the other plays are within the realm of reason. We saw Amadeus on Broadway when I was in high school. Read more about the Lake Shore Limited train from Chicago to NYC.

 

Scrubbed a litter box. Started cleaning the kitchen.

 

Got a headache and felt a little queasy, so I took a nap with Miss Z.

 

Finished the kitchen except for the floor. Cleaned the bathroom including the floor. Made some progress on the bedroom. I really need to cull some clothes, but I'm thinking that's a good cool-weather project. 

 

Sitting for a minute before I make dinner. Made a salmon burger with lemon butter dill sauce, mashed potatoes, and brussels sprouts. Wow, was that good. And I can have it again tomorrow!
