Wednesday Wordy News

Mommy and I made it through yesterday. I got to see the Community Room! And watch the cars at what Mommy called "street level". It was fun! But coming back upstairs both Mommy and I were a little sick. I don't know if it was the spraying they did, but we both kinda threw up a bit.  And while I felt better Mommy didn't. She drank ginger ale, which she said is a home remedy, but it didn't really help too much. If she still feels crummy by bedtime I am going to make her see her own v-e-t.
As we were leaving our home yesterday the guy said something about our bread.  Last time they mentioned bread they said it was moldy and threw it out.  We guessed they had never seen oatmeal bread (ours has little oaties on the outside), but the bread was one day old and that meant we didn't have bread for quite a while.  This time she said it was only a couple of days old and it was perfectly fine. So the guy didn't throw it out. Thank goodness! Now, I don't eat the stuff, but she does, and she had just spent a week without bread waiting to place her grocery order. No bread, no crackers (well, we still don't have crackers, but I don't care) no peanut butter, Mommy was really hurting! Anyway, we now have peanut butter and bread. And Mommy's coffee came last night!
So Mommy is still not feeling well. And did you notice our letter color is black? It is supposed to be blue, but blogger refused to print the whole thing in blue (half of it was disappearing!) so we are black letters today. Mommy didn't feel like fighting with blogger or our computer.
That's it for your Wednesday Wordy News!
peace and love,
QUINNIE

Thankful Thursday

 Finally! We have been having computer problems today. Yuck! Windows 10 did an hour long update and lost all of our sidebar gadgets. Mommy has been working all morning and part of the afternoon. We actually got a gadget for weather that works and our clock and calendar back!
We weren't on the puter last night because of the weather. For most of the evening we had lightning flashes and some hard rain. Now, I am not afraid of lightning flashs much, so I sat on my chair close to Mommy on her office chair and helped her be calm. [Mommy here. I love rainstorms!] It was important to stay off the puter. Even though we have a surge protector lightning can create problems for electronic things. And I think they "ground the building", whatever that means.  It is nice to not have the lights go out. Mommy said twice since we lived here and they were over in minutes. I think this place has a backup generator or something. 
Anyway, Mommy has errands to run tomorrow and she says some groceries are being delivered. She's not sure if she has monies for everything this month. [ Mommy here again. She hates loud thunder and rushes off to safety]
The grocery store doesn't have her coffee for some reason, so she ordered some from Amazon. She loves her Keurig and is down to only a couple pods for coffee and one light hot chocolate pod and a couple of tea  ones.
Please don't get between Mommies and their coffee! I have to wait till she has all her stuff for diabetes taken care of before her coffee. But while it's made and a little after she Furminates me and pets me. She says this will not  hurt her coffee, because it can cool down a bit before she drinks it.
(Shhh! I also whine till she makes sure I have foodies and water and brushes me. The diabetes stuff comes first though.)
Last night Mommy fell asleep on her office chair and woke up in the middle of the night and went to bed. I had to check her to make sure she was okay, and then we both went back to sleep. Me in my cat lounger/pillow/bed and her in the big bed. My bed (you've seen me sleeping in it) is at the foot of the big bed so I can keep an eye on her! I wont tell her that I was the one that woke her up. It's one of my duties to make sure she gets her sleep, and not in a chair!
 I bet she's thankful for getting to bed last night and getting some good rest!
I work hard to take care of her!
Please have a day filled with grace and love,

Thankful Thursday

Mommy says it is going to be cool a few days (windows open, a/c coolie thing is off now) and then it is going to be warm again. Hard to know how much fur to lose these days!
We are getting closer to when Mommy's check comes, but it still is a ways off. We have a Chewy order I think. And some of Mommy's medical supplies (the only ones we don't pay for--test strips for her intsulins). Anything else would have to wait. Will we ever get a pizza delivered again? Or a sammich? Or will we ever get to try the new salads you can get now from one of the pizza places? Or even get some fresh milk?
They made an announcement today that the police advised us to leave our front doors locked at all times.  Apparently there is someone trying door handles. Now I really wish we could move! Peoples here really don't have that much money laying around. But I bet it is all those pills peoples take.  The bad peoples think there are drugs they can sell.  Blood pressure pills? Intsulin? Whaaat?? I guess bad peoples will do anything to make monies and get what they can for themselves. Well, our door is locked and you can't have my catnip to get high on! Or sell! And Mommy needs her pills and her intsulins!
Too many bad things going on these days. We'll be grateful for our prayers! And for good peoples and anipals on the internets who like to pray too and maybe help others if they can.
Yup, those are some good things that are going on! That is totally a relief!! Since Lizzie left (our poodle neighbor) there aren't any woofies on this floor to bark at strangers!
love ya,
QUINNIE

Thankful Thursday

We did it again. Forgot to blog.  I  didn't. Mommy got busy.  Anyway, today being Thursday (thankfully) we are getting sprayed for non-existent bugs. Oh, joy. Now they say I have to leave for 2 hours after they spray.

 Tomorrow is our inspection, and our neighbor friend has helped us out so we are just about ready.  Mommy said she didn't like standing on her head in the fridgermator--but dear readers, didn't see that. I don't think she could fit! She's lying! Laying. Lie-ing. She's a liar! Oh, for goodness sake what ever! She meant she cleaned it, I think. And we have tile floors, so no vacuuming!
Things are moved around and I am so glad I found my foodies and my water when all was done. And my bed(s) and my chair are in the same places, so that wasn't hard.

Tomorrow they BETTER PASS US! It is beautiful in here (and I am so glad the books are not in the middle of the living room floor for Mommy to trip on any more).
So maybe we will be done with this crap for a while. Although It is pretty nice in here....
I hope they like our home. I am celebrating already!
Love ya,
QUINNIE
