Dinner's in the oven. Walked Moonie -- figuratively speaking -- through the process.

We did good. There's no meatloaf left.  Smiley

Time to head out. The Queen is annoyed because the sink in my bathroom is wet and she wants to sleep in it. (Something she's recently started doing after years of not doing it.) I got to it first and got washed up while she was eating. So now she's annoyed that she's going to have to sleep somewhere else until it dries. In the meantime, I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
The Queen got her revenge. She refused to let me and Skywise sleep until the sink was dry. My head was stood on -- all four paws -- and I have at least one new puncture wound on my hand. Skywise picked up a few last night too. That cat is damned lucky we love her so much or she would've been locked out of the bedroom last night. Of course, if we'd done that, she would have sat outside our door and yowled until we let her in....

I've been home for a while and I'm just now getting around to posting. Lots of stuff online to catch up on. Someone in North Korea has had an attack of good sense and decided that attacking Guam is not a good idea so we don't have to worry about that for a while. Political insanity continues in this country so avoiding pretty much everything on Facebook except Ghostbusters, STAR WARS and the comics related movies and TV is going to be my SOP for the foreseeable future. It's mid-August so it's time to start thinking about stocking up a few things for my "winter weather emergency" reserves. There is nothing quite as comforting as hearing that a blizzard or ice storm is on the way and you already have everything you need in hand to weather the storm while everyone else is storming the stores which quickly run out of the basics.

Morning.
We didn't have anywhere we had to go this morning so I slept in. Now I'll get caught up while I have some tea -- which I REALLY need!

At 2:33 pm we were buzzed -- twice --by something with a seriously large and loud engine.

Skywise thinks it was a WWII fighter with a Rolls-Royce engine. We didn't see it so we can't be sure. There is an airshow in Chicago this weekend and it might headed there. One of our near neighbors flies ultra-lights and it "could" be that whoever it was is someone he knows.

No more low flying "probable" fighter planes flew over much to my relief. It sounded like that guy was gonna take the roof off!

Afternoon. It was an interesting morning.
We got a late start but headed for Bloomington for lunch and shopping. We were a couple of miles from town when it started raining which turned from "rain" into a damned deluge the closer we got to town. By the time we turned onto the highway, it was raining so hard that visibility was down to a half mile, if that. Still we pressed on. We got through town and headed for the construction zone. We were about a mile and a half from the point where two lanes merged into one when traffic started to slow then stopped. The rain had let up so we could see that things had come to a dead stop. Fortunately, the last place where we could make a U-turn was in reach and Skywise got us out of there. So we ended up in Greenwood instead of Bloomington. We were able to get Spirit the lunch she wanted and the items we intended to buy at a Target in Bloomington we were able to get at the Target in Greenwood. We also bought two umbrellas since "someone" had taken all the umbrellas out of the van! It was absolutely pouring when we left the Target but we were out of the rain by the time we were across and almost out of the parking lot. We got home without further rain and if the radar is right, we'll be dry for the rest of the day. Skywise is at work by now and he "should" have had a dry drive.

Skywise came home wearing a snazzy reflective vest. It had his name embroidered on it! I guess that his duties tonight didn't include sitting inside.
Dinner is over and I'm heading out.

My camera has arrived.
Moonie and Skywise convinced it to "speak" English and I'll be reading the book and learning how to use it later today. I'm going to leave the wrist strap off until I get a cute little sticker to put on it so Moonie and I can tell our cameras apart. I have a camera case ordered but it hasn't been shipped as of last night. Now to get caught up - although the way the news has been lately, I'm also afraid to look.....  Smiley

Afternoon.
We're back from Greenwood where I picked up the current Wonder Woman and two GB trade paperbacks. I'm gonna need to dedicate a shelf to the trades 'cause I'm gonna need them all to keep up since everything is connected and they (frequently) refer back to previous adventures -- just like real life.
Now to catch up.

I've been working on some stuff tonight but I don't know if it's going to work out or not. Oh well, there's time to decide. Since Skywise is home, my hands are cramping and dinner is over, I'm going to head out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon.
We went into town early today. Skywise forgot to pick up his prescription Friday so we had to get it today before the pharmacy closed. (I don't know what time they close on Sunday so... we got there before noon.)
Now we're back and I'm cooling off. It finally FEELS like August out there... Smiley

Evening.
We're back from Princeton, Kentucky.
Six and a half hours down and back -- approximately -- and I feel like an overcooked noodle. Time to crash.

Woke up to a thunderstorm this morning. Better today than yesterday. My eyes are tired and itchy. Probably too much non-eclipse sun yesterday even with my sunglasses. We were HOURS on I-69 stuck in traffic jams in 90 to 100+ degree heat with no shade.

Now I'm going to get caught up and see who survived the eclipse.

It looks like everyone survived although a couple of guys -- one a friend of a friend -- might be having vision problems not far down the road. They looked at the eclipsing sun without glasses.One very briefly, the other longer. Then he bragged about it. His friend called him an idiot and I agree!

Gonna call it a night.... provided that I can convince the Queen to let me up. She's been on my lap, dozing and purring, for over an hour.
