third time's a charm?, sleepyheads, and special visitors

1 Cell phone saga. My cell phone is in need of repairs yet again and it's frustrating me to no end. I get a loaner phone for the third time and this one is the worst of the bunch. I think it's at least 10 years old and doesn't even do photo attachments on text messages! Too funny, I think I'll use an old beast we have lying around here.
2 Izzy and Kes come for a visit but he's sleeping before we get home and then she asks to go to sleep It must be the cold weather making us all sleepy.
3 Gaile is coming tonight! So looking forward to seeing her and her hubby and grandson. Should be a fun evening if we can all stay awake! :)

train me, stormy weather, my chef, and drink of the gods

1 It's a work day. I feel so lucky to be able to say that! Gotta love your work and today it was switchboard training, just what I love.
2 There's a storm out there. My drive home is along the lake shore and this means that the weather systems are often different every few kilometers. The storm comes up the middle of the lake but is sporadic. Parts rain, some is just cloud and the best part was where the clouds were so dark and the lightning came screaming straight down on either side of the road.
3 Mr P makes a yummy dinner of BBQ hamburgers and stuffed potatoes. It's much to much food for me so I've packed the other half of my burger for tomorrow's lunch.
4 I find some sugared lavender and will make Lavender Lemonade tomorrow for Book club. It smells divine.

forecast, sun, cat antics, and fy

1 The weather has changed. at least for the next few days. It's been warm, hot really and sunny and the deck chairs call to us. We repair our patio umbrella and find some respite in the shade.
2 When I'm getting ready for bed I notice that my arms and neck are pink!
3 Yuki, the kids cat is a wee bit lonely with the family away for a few days. When I go over to feed him, the fish and water the plants he's friskier than usual. He runs into my legs and feet, he swats at my loose hair when i reach down to pet him and then zips all over the place trying to get my attention. Later he settles down and we have a good pet.
4 Male hummingbirds are doing aerial acrobatics.
