Night Time Wind
There was no whispering from the boughs of the evergreen outside my bedroom window. It was more like the noise of an irritated animal.
The air outside is quite breathtaking. The cold air, oh so different than what we have been enjoying.
Today was a day for several errands to be had. The Family Dollar was the first stop for kitty litter to be bought. The plastic jugs hold 8.5 lbs each of the lightweight clumpable. I purchased two. We may be down one cat from previous, but in the winter, neither of the two remaining are all that excited to roam the backyard where some of their haunts for doing their duty have been. Yup. Spoiled.
The grocer’s surprised me today. All but three items that I snagged were with a markdown. The total included a paltry $.51 in taxable items. We have no need to travel to Mankato until the 13th of January. At that time, I will stock up on the taxable items, most likely in Sam’s Club.
Sunday’s visit with Carrie’s family brought about the topic of shoes as everyone was getting ready to leave. After all was quiet, I did it. I got on Amazon and ordered a pair of shoes for myself. Being retired, needs become less and that had been the case in point with me wearing shoes that had not one iota of support in them.
Today being Tuesday, my shoes arrived. They are of the sport category with shoe laces and all. The best part for me is that they are slip-ons. Kizik. Yes, no doubt my body will appreciate the benefits of good footwear.
A short break was required. Dennis was at the back door asking for a towel. “Are you hurt”? “Yes”.
All has been handled. He somehow slipped and there was an owee right at his left eyebrow. As with any injury to the head, it does bleed a lot. I have checked him over from top to toe and given him some Tylenol as I am sure there may be a headache coming. Dennis didn’t stay sitting long as he was determined to get the livestock chores done before supper.
All ends well today, the last day of 2024.
My wishes go out to everyone that 2025 will bring more pleasant things than not.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
