'Tis the weekend; what a busy week and next week will likely result in longer hours than usual. I was supposed to have Thursday and Friday off for vacation and was going to Ottawa to surprise my brother for his birthday, but cancelled my plans; I'm just too busy right now. I added a vacation day in February to the Friday before Family Day weekend so we can go then when my husband has a bit more strength. The boys want to see in person how he's doing. He made some progress this last week and is moving around better than usual.
Last night, he noticed that the p.j. bottoms I bought him had Christmas lights all over them with a navy background. I said, "Well, you light up my life!" He forgot that You Light Up My Life was one of the first songs we danced together to at our Wedding.
I picked up a wedding gift for my oldest grandson and his fiancee, they aren't getting married until late May, but I saw something that caught my eye and just had to get it.
It's a lovely huge canvas with a relaxing scene of blue sky and an ocean with beach level lawn chairs and candles. The candles light up with the flick of a switch.
We'll also donate $$ to their honeymoon, but I saw that and knew they'd like it; they've already been on 3 cruises together to tropical destinations.
The sun is trying to shine; no snow expected so although it's terribly cold, I don't have to worry about getting out of my parking spot on Monday morning.
Took the city until Wednesday to finally clear my spot out. I guess I could have shoveled it myself, but my right shoulder is acting up again so I didn't want to take a chance since it was really their mess.
It's O'Malley the cats big ol' 14th birthday today. Think he's going to continue doing what he does best; blocking our paths where he decides to take a nap and letting us know when he thinks he deserves a treat or a rub.
I played a joke on him; too bad he doesn't get it. Remember I said he has an olive fetish and two weekends ago when I was making my rainbow pasta chicken 'n cheese Florentine, he lapped up a bit of sauce from the floor and ate a piece of spinach ... well, I bought him an Italian chef placemat for his small dog trough to rest on so he doesn't make too big a mess. My husband thought it was silly, but he wasn't surprised by it.
I'm going to attempt to exercise him with his mini Lambchops toy that was in my merry package from HeadElf.
Keep a merry thought in your head!
Happy Birthday to your cat! My dog turned 14 last month. Hope O'Malleys gets to enjoy a nice treat for his special day!
