Wednesday 31-08-2016 – Happy Tails to You on the Trail!

Thanks for your input on my hairdresser KJ, from yesterday’s thread. I’d still welcome any one else’s input too, even if you think I’m being too sensitive. I agree KJ, she should have told me at some point that she obviously overbooked, but to charge me full price while an intern did all the work is just tacky. I’ve been doing my own hair and it looks good, but going to the salon is a treat (an expensive one) and I did not feel like a valued client. Oh well, I was looking for a salon when I found this one so….. 😐
LOVE the pics today, they’re adorable. I’ll take some M&M’s or trailmix or whatever!! 😆

KZ, that stinks about the hair dresser …. she should have told you up front …..
Well, the storm is upon us and getting closer ….. rain began early morning hours and hasn’t (and won’t) let up til Friday …. roads of course, saturated and flooding expected on Bayshore and the low lying inland roads (usual) …. I think I told you all before, that where I live, the streets slope down toward the Bay plus we’re on a 24″ crawl space, so my 109 year old house has never flooded …. tomorrow is expected to be the worst, when the storm passes closest and the winds/rain will be at their height …. possible tornados ….. we’re hunkered down – plenty of food, water, cat food and of course wine 😉

Looks like it will hit the Big Bend area worst, hope those of you up that way stay safe – EC, how close will it come to you?
Still on my WD marathon, got 1 1/2 seasons to go 🙂 …. nice way to spend a few rainy days cooped up ! Have a great day, all!

Hi everyone! Of course I like the Cat Scouts as Scouting is in my blood. TDK agency kits have bowls of trail mix all around the café today, yum! That big Maine Coon kitty who knows me all too well presented me with a small bowl of M&M’s – thanks buddy!
Well KZ, I’m disappointed in your experience yesterday. Probably the only thing I would consider acceptable is having the intern rinse your hair out, but only after clearing it with you first, in confidence, out of earshot of anyone else. Brother and I were just discussing overbooking yesterday, in his case, a doctor’s office. I worked for a podiatrist for 15 years and we never overbooked. The closest we got was double booking two checkups, which usually take about five minutes. Even that backfired sometimes, if a patient had lots of questions. Happy to say that usually though, I was not lying when I told a patient that the doctor would be with them in just a few minutes.
Hi JK – I love the complimentary coffee!!
Glad you’ve got the hatches battened down, AV, along with all the necessities. I see the heavy stuff is headed your way – enjoy the WD marathon!
Glad you have a therapist you like, YB. Oh and I meant to tell you, I think I saw a bat house on a tree in a neighbor’s yard. That might explain why I’ve seen a few this year. Might not be a bad idea, though, to put one up in my yard as well. I don’t think my outdoor kitties will mess with bats!
It’s a grey and humid day here in Jersey. Just got a few drops of rain, but I don’t think much more is expected. More of a concern is down the shore where rip tides and higher swells are expected as the storm swings out to sea.

Paw up w/PM Purry Waves:
Questioned posted on FB today:

Hee hee….what I named you….”food lady” is my guess…lol.

AV, the storm is supposed to hit us early evening tomorrow. I listen to local news/talk radio while I clean and there was all sorts of emergency preparedness info, of course.

Thank goodness we had enough break in rain (we’d already had a bunch before the approaching storm) for son to mow the grass. Things grow fast here and you can find yourself in quite the predicament if there are several rainy days in a row that hit right when it was lawn mowing time. Not good when you are legally obligated to keep it mowed. But now it’s done and we can sit back and laugh at the rain…

Glad my Mon thru Wed are done…busy but enjoyable.

Don’t know what I would have done about the hairstylist, KZ. Probably just rolled with it while inwardly rolling my eyes. Mine only requires a trim….with extreme kinkiness there’s no use attempting anything else.

DON’T READ THIS IF YOU’RE EATING. You know how cats sometimes urp up their food within seconds of eating it if they ate too fast? (Happens to Leo occasionally, but rarely to Eko or Emily even though Emily is a super fast eater). This morning it did happen to Emily and I was too busy guarding Eko’s plate from Leo (Eko’s a slow eater) to clean it up right away. Guess who ate it right back up….eww..lol. Crazy food loving girl. She was like, “look, more breakfast!”

Hee….soft tacos…I like that, PG.

Pretty sure I’m mama to Leela and Comet. Mac is harder to read. Sometimes I’m close to being mama, other times not so sure, not knowing his story before I brought him in. To the JJ crew I suppose I’m food lady.

Well Katzenjammer we have much in common! Shana tova to you although the past 21 yrs has been anything but. I do the outside stuff. Cross train at this point to get my mojo back. I have an injury that’s from May and still not healed. Positioning still off so I’m doing physical therapy which requires I do more farewell than jog. I do it knowing the payoff comes later when I get back to semi normal but I’ll never do a 35 min 5 miles after all the harm done me here. I have a 29 yr career. Proud of every bit of it. Thankfully I don’t need a sports medicine doctor as I did in the early 90s when it was my knee. He did it for free. Amazing gift given I’m disabled and subsist on social security disability for 24 years. My disability is complicated but yes, it’s better to have a shrink you can get somewhere with. Modern Orthodox. New one on me but it seems to have a huge following. Grandmas side is Orthodox and I think that way. My mother’s dad is conservative which is how I was raised but? I don’t like Reform. Rubs me the wrong way.

I do hope I can come up with some solution to the moth problemn… I never had them before. They destroyed a beautiful grey loden overcoat and several pullovers. Now I bought a new merino pullover (deep violet or purple) and it is living in my freezer compartment for the moment. Is there ANYTHING that works?

Livia doesn’t have such a problem. She has a beautiful shiny coat.

Trail mix is not advisable when working on a computer. Yuri, I also cycle outside; I’m not very fond of exercise classes (especially not if they have loud music). I’ll wait till Rosh Hashanah to wish you and all my Jewish friends Shana Tova… (I’m not Jewish). For the ones in Buenos Aires, their New Year is in springtime, and the “general” New Year in the heat of the summer… It is still very warm here in Montréal, though our winters can still be bitter. The last one was not very bad, but the year before was horribly cold.
