JUNE 26 - Day Off, Should I Get My Ears Checked? and Masked Bandit

Day Off. Yes, I know what you're thinking - I was supposed to be working, it's a Tuesday, and did I forget? Well, no, I didn't forget - the schedule is turned a bit upside down, and my Day Offs this week are a meager Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.

I had one of these boring Do Nothing Much days, and accomplished very little. Therefore, I have nothing of significance to write about (which is why I'm using big words.) Chris and Lizzie hung out with us for a while, and part of our Dinner conversation was astounding.

Me: Come on, now, eat your dinner. After all, Nanny is the best cook in all the world - right, Poppy?
Poppy: Right. 

Although it wasn't said with conviction, at least it was said. Well, knock me over with a feather.

Scratch my comment about a boring day I just realized I have to stop feeding two stray cats that come snooping at my back door, for I just had a really heart-bopping experience. I had my door open so Blackie  could come in, and what should come to the door instead but a bloody big Raccoon. Yes, and my phone camera could only capture the darkness, so I don't have proof. But this guy just stood there looking in, and didn't even run away when I shooed him away. I went out ... he walked a few feet away, then started back casually. I even threw a plastic bowl at him and I swore he said Thanks under his breath. I was freaking out, he just meandered through a hole in the fence, and then the garden rake and I had a panicky search for Blackie . Teaser (yes, I finally named my Used Cat) was already in, and when I found Blackie I grabbed him and we weren't long getting inside and locking the door behind us. There was a point when Teaser and the Raccoon were nose to nose at opposite sides of the glass door, Teaser growling and Raccoon just staring.


Actually, looking back on my experience, Raccoon was rather cute. Maybe I should put some food out for him ..... NOT!

  • Breakfast - Toast and Coffee
  • Lunch - Egg Sandwich, Cheese
  • Dinner - Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Dressing
  • Snacks - Wafer Bar, teeny tiny Ginger Ale, Rhubarb Muffin, more Coffee and about 10000 calories of miscellaneous stuffs - don't ask.
