Vroom Vroom


A quick note to say I'm going offline for a few days. I got a little energy back and plan to make the best use of it. Which, much as I wish it were, sitting at my desk playing at the computer half the day is not the best use. I'm going to give my friend, Lori, credit where it's due. We speak occasionally and yesterday we did. She made me feel so much better. Oh, I went to Costco this morning. It's the first time I have been there since February 2020. I've ordered online when I need something. I'm going to make it a scheduled trip every six weeks. I even walked out of there under $300!


A little smile. Frieda has a plastic obsession. Not chewing but licking and laying on it. Don't judge her too much, she is a tortie after all.

Costco isn't for the faint of heart.

Enjoy your energy. I'm glad you survived Costco. I try to avoid it this time of year.

I can't imagine what Frieda gets out of her plastic obsession. It must be something about how it feels.

Enjoy the time offline! Make the most of your energy and take good care of yourself.

Yeah, I'm currently practicing avoidance by sitting in front of the computer. I really don't know why I practice it, I'm very, very good at it. An expert.

Costco, especially this time of year? You're far more daring than I'll ever be. TOO PEOPLEY!!

That's a cute photo of Frieda. We are off to CostCo too. So glad your friend Lori made you feel better. Nothing like a good friend to pick our spirits up. Merry Christmas and A Very Happy Near Year to you all.

For me, unplugged time is a MUST. A pure must. Wishing you a wonderful time offline and catch you on the flipside.

We too had a Plastics loving Cat once. Ironically she was Born to a Female Feral Cat IN a Plastics Factory and rescued by a Neighbor who worked there when the Mama Cat died and all the Kittens but that one perished as well. She was so tiny, like a little Rat, so we named her Rat Boy, since, we were convinced she had Balls but it ended up being just markings on her Bottom and we learned he was a she when we went to get "him" neutered and the Vet said, "spayed". *LOL* Have a nice hiatus from Bloggy World my Friend and Merry Christmas. We'll be here when you return.
