We ate lunch at a seafood restaurant today. This evening I made a loaf of wheat bread in the bread machine. It just got done a few minutes ago and we each had a slice while it was still warm. Delicious!

I wish I could have taken a video picture of Callie just now. I was playing spider solitaire on the computer and she was watching the cursor move, fascinated. She followed it with her paw, trying to catch it. After I switched to Yahtzee, she kept watching and touching anything that moved. Buffy likes to watch TV.

The uverse technician got our TV working again in about 5 minutes. So things have been looking great this weekend.

We went to a spaghetti supper at one of the churches last night. The sauce was a little different than usual. It had fresh tomatoes, peppers, and vegetables in it, but no canned tomato sauce. It was good. Salad and french bread were served with it and trays and trays of homemade cupcakes. It was very good. We knew most of the people who came to it and enjoyed it all.

We had a cool front come through last night. Right now, 7:22 a.m., it has dropped to 68 degrees.

The pictures of the kittens, below, were taken yesterday evening.

Sis's computer had a couple of viruses that were causing it to not work, so we called Computer Nerdz and a technician came out and worked for about an hour and got it all cleaned out and working fine. He also installed an anti-malware program to try and keep this from happening again. He was so professional, courteous and explained everything as he went. I would recommend this company highly.

This afternoon we are expecting the AT&T uverse technician to come check the TV. They tried to troubleshoot it over the phone yesterday, but eventually decided they would have to send someone out to do it.

We ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel Restaurant this morning, then did our weekly shopping at Wal-Mart.

Our next-door neighbors are having a garage sale today. We walked over, but they just have children's clothing, toys, etc. - nothing that we need.

New Pix of the Kittens

Calvin is on the left under the recliner. Buffy is getting to look more and more like him. Calvin gets along well with the kittens now.

Buffy

Yesterday was a LONG day. I got to work around 7:30 a.m. and didn't leave until 12 hours later. My normal work day ends at 3 p.m., but we had a meeting starting at 4 p.m., so I stayed for that. Then another meeting started at 6:00 p.m. So by the time I finally got home, I was totally wiped out. I soon went to bed, but shouldn't have bothered. My arthritis started kicking in and I was up and down for several hours before I finally took a couple pain pills. They finally worked and I got maybe three or four hours sleep. Well, I only work until noon today, thank goodness!

We took the kittens downtown to the spay center this morning and went back and picked them up at 3 p.m. They act like they are still under the effects of the anesthesia or something. They are supposed to be kept kind of quiet for a few days but they are all hyped up like they are on joy juice or something. We had to separate them to keep them from wrestling each other and racing all over the house.

The tree service finished pouring the cement to repair the cracks in the driveway. We aren't supposed to drive over it for a week to give it time to set good.

It seems like everything happens in bunches. The TV is acting up. We have u-verse. I called the service number and all I get is recorded messages telling me what to do to reboot it. Well, I did and it didn’t help. I would like to talk to a live person so I could explain just what it is doing and ask questions, but all I get is these robotic-sounding recordings.

Sis's computer is acting up. It acts like it has one of those viruses that has taken over and tries to force you to buy their product to cure it. I think I will call a computer company to come out and look at it here at the house.


Then my arthritis is bothering me so bad again this evening and nothing seems to help. All in all, it is a totally frustrating day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I got a little behind in posting here. The tree service company came out yesterday and inspected the damage they had done to the driveway while cutting down the tree a few weeks ago. They decided they need to replace two blocks of the concrete, so today they brought 10 bags of cement and stacked them there and started cutting the damaged concrete out. Well - it got up to 100 degrees this afternoon and they nearly did themselves in with all that hard work. They finally quit around 5 p.m. and decided they would come earlier tomorrow morning and work before it gets quite that hot. There were only two men doing all that and it sure was hard work. They aren't young men either.

We have an appointment to take the kittens to the spay facility tomorrow morning to be neutered and/or spayed. There are two males and two females. Then we will go back and pick them up a few hours later. So right now they aren't supposed to have any food or water for twelve hours. They evidently aren't hungry or thirsty yet, because they are racing all over the house playing and having a great time. They won't be that active tomorrow night. We'll have to keep them separated and quiet for a few days. That probably won't be so easy.
