Rainy day in NYC. Got stuff to do today including: re-vacuuming where son tipped over cat's litter box by tripping on it yesterday on the rug. Must put away all medications that have piled up unopened. Must vote by mail, pay bills, put new sheets, etc. on bed.

OR. I'll hang out here, watch TV, read and do nothing else. Maybe I can combine these activities.
 

Going to spend some time with Ed (my Prince Among Men) this AM; he's doing well, no further pain/nausea.

Cleaning team is coming in this afternoon-- several deep cleaning projects in the offing

Still looking for throw pillows for the couch and complimentary covering for (exceedingly ugly) square side table. I may end up having something custom made

Maybe another walk this afternoon in the beautiful fall weather... there definitely will be More Coffee savored =D

Y'all have a great day.
 
@hollydolly "Delivery attempted" is code for "It's at the post office." It does not mean they attempted to deliver it to your door. I think the days of convenient deliveries are over.

It turned cold a couple of days ago, and it's even snowed twice.

For reasons I won't go into, I got it into my head that the entire building was on one heating system -- even though I have a thermostat in my apartment. So when I got tired of feeling cold and the heaters weren't coming on, I thought I'd have to complain to management. Before doing so, I tried turning the thermostat up a bit, and the heat came on!

I told my Guatemalan language partner about it. He said when it gets cold they just put a blanket on the bed. People in tropical countries really don't understand what cold weather is, or how it affects our everyday lives. When it's minus 40 degrees outside, an unheated building will be minus 40 inside.

Even though I'm retired, I feel overloaded much of the time. So I've started taking Mondays off. Today is Monday, so I'll be doing as little as possible. No exercise, errands, or housework.

I'm home now. The Dr was thrilled with how good my bloodwork numbers were....sure surprised me!

We also went to "early vote", then library. were we got season 1 of Yellowstone.

Next was the park, where I had some fun on the swings! 😁 We went to the pond, and saw Chelveston, snoozing with her buddies, then went for a walkie. There was a beautiful young cat (6-10 months old) who walked with us for a while. She was super friendly, so we scratched her tummy and rubbed her ears! She had a collar and looked well fed, so I'm sure she had a home.

We continued with our walk, admiring the beautiful fall colors. Then, just as we reached the point where we were as far away as possible from where we parked......it started to rain! ☔

Since our walk was obviously over, we went to get a pizza and came home. 🍕

It didn't rain here....yet. But it's on the way!
