This was a confusing day. I kept thinking it was
Sunday. Four days of mini-staycation with no plan wasn’t boring for one single
second, it was just a bit confusing keeping track of the days. I really need to
block out a longer chunk of time to see how long it takes before I go crazy with
no obligations and no plan. Mom says the stretch of days with no plan describes
her life in retirement. If that is what it’s like, I’m going to own that lifestage.
Stay at Home doesn’t count for my boredom study, as working Monday through Friday working has kept the same schedule as working downtown. There is no leisure time
during the day, it’s a straight eight hours (or more) of working. Maybe I’m doing it
wrong.
Today started out chilly, so coffee was in front of
the TV instead of out on the newly curtained porch. Mom called and it was nice
talking with her. Did laundry. Read. Washed dishes. Hovered over Moose much of
the day like a true (s)mother. He’s being weird again with the eating/not
eating. Yesterday he skipped his supper and the real shocker, wasn’t interested
in treats and barely barked. He slept and snored all day, and it was bad enough
that I was trying to determine if was “just” snoring or a breathing issue that
warrants a call to the vet. Today he ate breakfast and slept a lot during the
day, but with no snoring. When he was awake he seemed peppier. He wasn’t
thrilled with supper, so I set it aside and a couple hours later he stood in
front of me staring and barking, then led me to the shelf where his supper sat.
But His Royal Highness would only eat it if I hand fed him, one piece of kibble
at a time. I am an obedient servant.

| Shrimp and stuff with angel hair. |
My own supper was a tasty dish using the leftover
shrimp extracted from last night’s baked seafood dinner delivery and cut and tossed with
sauteed mushrooms, green pepper, fresh roma tomato, and garlic, with a dash of creamer
(more precisely, four Land O’Lakes Mini Moo’s coffee creamers) mixed with angel
hair and topped with parmesan. I fork fed myself. With two dogs staring at me the
whole time.
The new chicken themed puzzle was opened late today.
Step one – the border – is super hard, as most of it is white. This will not go
was quickly as Sherlock Holmes
