April Fools' Day

Granddaughter-in-Law and Shih Tzu share a birthday today. Happy birthday to both!

Another glorious day! I actually got out a short-sleeved knit shirt to wear, since the temp went up to about 80 degrees.

Had trouble going to sleep and staying asleep last night, because the bedroom was so stuffy. We finally opened the sliding glass door to get some fresh air in there, and I finally drifted off.

Got up around 7:30, though I wasn't ready. Did a treadmill session and weights exercises anyway after breakfast. Mother came over while I was getting ready for the day and started another jigsaw puzzle.

Spent my morning doing this and that...laundry, making a doctor's appointment for Mother next week, paying a bill, checking e-mail on my computer...mundane stuff of life.

After a chef's salad lunch, Hubbie and I ran errands...to the bank, the pharmacy, the dry cleaners (time to get winter coats cleaned), a dollar store, the other discount store, and finally to the WDCS.

Back home, Mother and I watched the "Charlie Brown Easter Special," that I'd recorded on DVR, and a scrapbooking program, while Hubbie went to the vet's office to check on the cat who underwent surgery to repair a broken jaw. The vet said he will take the wire out of the cat's jaw Monday, and then neuter him while he has him under anesthetic.

We need to take a couple of female cats in to be spayed, because we heard them caterwauling in mating rituals last night (another reason I had trouble sleeping). It's too late for the black female, who had four kittens a couple of days ago. Well, actually, she had five, but one didn't survive.

We have hopes of getting rid of these newest kittens, since they will be very tame. Already, a woman has asked for one. She'll have her choice of a couple of black ones, a gray one, or a white one (unless Sis wants the white one to train as a house cat).

Supper tonight was fried chicken (fried in a small amount of olive oil), mashed potatoes and gravy, and crowder peas (so called, according to a website, because they are crowded together in their pods). Mother went home afterward, and Hubbie and I did what we always do...watched TV.

We saw the 2008 psychological thriller movie, "Ghost Image," rated PG-13, and starring Elisabeth Rohm. Movie has a twist at the end.

No April Fools jokes today.
