Thursday This n That

:yawn: :stretch:  Good mornin'.  I actually woke up early today, but I couldn't get to sleep last night, so I'm draggin'.  :slurp coffee:

And now Finn wants lots of attentions, so I'm petting and trying to type. With a tail in my way. rofl

Finn's really no small cat by anyone else's standard. He's 13-14 pounds of sleek feline, but next to Sawyer, he's my widdle bebe.  It's not his fault his adopted brother is a moose.

Our phone is out again.  Stupid BS.  Their supposed to be out to fix it again on Friday.  I harangued the phone girl to make sure they actually fix it this time instead of slapping a bandaid on it.  We'll see.  It's going out like every other day.  Then it comes back, then it goes out, then it comes back.  The other day it went out in the middle of a call to Mom.  It's a bit ludicrous that in this day and age we can't get reliable phone service.

Anyway... I saw a news story yesterday about a toddler that had wandered away from his (her?) home in the Grand Canyon area of AZ.  He was found about 7 miles away by a rancher's dog, who led the kid back to its place.  That rancher was out and saw his dog coming home with a kid in tow.  Wild.  Anyway, the tot's fine and the dog is being hailed as a hero.  Not sure how a toddler gets out and wanders 7 miles, but there it is.

I cut my hair yesterday.  Whacked it short because it was irritating me.  I butchered the holy hell out of it.  But I didn't notice until after it dried.  I think I can fix it.  If not, it'll grow out.  Thankfully, I didn't cut it so short it looks like mange.  ROFL

Every morning for the past week or so, I've seen a weird 'star' rising in the east.  When I first saw it, it was about 6am, but it's rising earlier every day.  This morning, I saw it peeking through the trees at 5:27.  I searched online to see if I could figure out what it is, but no luck.  It's not the space station.  It might be like Venus and a couple other planets rising in a line so they look like one big bright light, but that doesn't make sense to my brain.  :shrug:  

Okay, with distractions, it's taken me over 30 minutes to write this and I really need to get my morning marketing done.  Have a great day wherever you are and if you feel inclined, drop a comment about whatever little things are sparking you today.

  1. Let's not talk about mornings, umkay? *yawn*
    Pete has been clinging today. He keeps sitting on the narrow strip between the edge of my desk and the monitor, brushing his tail over my keyboard (on a lower level). Then he gets hissy when I move his tail. 🙄 Cats. Can't live with 'em, don't wann live without 'em.

    That lost kid was wild. The dog was a Great Pyreenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix. They are great protectors so I wasn't surprised he found the "intruder" on his property, recognized it was a "baby" and led it home. It's what they do. I'd like to believe that Jake would do that. LOL

    I'm letting my hair grow out. I have no clue why. I should cut it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Does your state have a commission that oversees utilities? If so, you and the neighbors all need to file complaints. Our Corporation Commission gets feisty with the utility companies with monopolies when they screw their customers. Worth a try, maybe.

    That's Venus and it's just going to get brighter for a few days longer. It's in some sort of conjunction phase. Anyway, I think it's cool to see, kinda like the Easter Star instead of the Christmas Star.

    I boosted for what it's worth. I've also been to Wallyworld. I lizard out this week so I really need to get writerly stuff done. After another coffee and something to eat.

    Happy Thursday. Later, tater.
