How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

Woke up with a sour gut feeling due to a bit of Sunday food binging, so have swallowed water to flush it through. Instead of getting up, just laid under my warm pile of bedding for 90 minutes with lights on looking at web stuff on my new Pixel. Construction crew is completing re-roofing our 4-plex roof this morning, that means much banging noise. Indoor temperature was 58F at 8am, so have my hair blow drier running downstairs that will bring it up to maybe 61F in an hour. Comfortable enough for this well bundled up person.

No plans to go anywhere or do much this Monday. First, will survey my long list of bookmarked websites for any live music later this week that tends to be near annual minimums due to chilly temperatures. Later this morning will put an extension tube on my Tineco portable vacuum, wearing a bright headlamp, and vacuum away ceiling cobwebs that slowly accumulate in all rooms. I need to set up my new $80 earbuds with the Pixel. One thing that scares me is possible losing these small things that not only might pop out of ears but also out of pockets. Enough of an accidental pop out issue, I'll probably still used wired earbuds while skiing. Over years, I've lost plenty of small things from pockets.
 

Had a few things to pick up at Albertsons grocery store. 10% discount today for military & military vets. Between that & the already just for U price drop saved quite a lot.

Saved so much I thought I'd get $20.00 out to try the slot machines. Played double/double video poker for 50 cents. That is $2.50 for each hand dealt. That $20.00 turned into a $200.00 win. No skill involved just lucky today.
 
I adopted Boxer Ross from a public shelter for free, including neutering, at 12 months old and 60 pounds. Today at 15 months,
his weight has increased to 74 pounds. I am wondering whether my puppy will eventually weigh 90+ pounds.

He is full of puppy love and as destructive as only a puppy can be. But I convinced him that leather bones are more suitable
for chewing than furniture. Yesterday morning a coyote walked along our fence, and Rex wanted badly to play with it, LOL.

When Rex sees a rabbit on our walks, then he takes off and tries to pull me along. Puppies are very entertaining. But no matter
how sweet puppies are, being in a few weeks 90 years old, I swear (with tears in my eyes) that Rex will be the last puppy in my
life. I expect that he will join me in celebrating my 100th birthday one day.

Puppy love.........my 6 y/o grandson...................and myself

Rex is very protective of Heidi. I am the only one who is permitted touching her.
