Warm weekend

We sure had a nice sunny warm day yesterday. It got up to 47. Even Amos enjoyed staying outside longer, though he didn't do much since the ground is still covered in snow. Today is supposed to be cloudy and mid 40's but the rain is holding off until tomorrow. They are actually saying some areas might flood due to how much rain we are going to get, because the ground is still so frozen, it will have no where to go.

While the week went fast for me, apparently it was a long week for Amos. He was laying on the back of the couch like this last night, LOL. No clue why he had his head face down, haha

DH decided to wait until today to work on replacing those lights above the kitchen cabinets, because he wants my help. Plus we want to try to dust/vacuum, while we are up there. I don't know why those lights went out - there are lights underneath the cabinets as well, and those have not gone out. Of course they are all LED type (and both are the same kind) so they should have lasted a lot longer.

Other than helping him with that, I have no other plans for this weekend. I'm trying my best not to make some dessert, LOL. That used to be one of my typical weekend things. I think maybe I'll just make some tapioca pudding, using monk fruit. Then I get a little dessert, but no sugar.  I should find a brownie recipe and try it with monk fruit. Maybe I'll do that, too. I do have some baking cocoa, so I should have all the ingredients.

My boss was out sick all week, so I was the go to for some of the stuff coworkers contact her for. Easy stuff, but I think I got told 3 times yesterday "Thanks - you're the best!" LOL.  Hopefully she's feeling better. She got meds on Tuesday night from urgent care, but even yesterday she was still feeling pretty crappy, but was a little better (pneumonia). I think I'll text her this weekend to see how she's doing. She does have her daughter who lives close by her, so she's checking on her and helping her.

It doesn't sound like my half sis's step dad has much longer to live, but who knows. He keeps surprising them with how long he keeps going. But, definitely has congestive heart failure going on, more swelling, and getting harder to breath, as of Thursday night. At least he's now in hospice, where professionals are dealing with it all. That, at least, is making things easier for her.

  1. Amos needs a friend or girlfriend. That might be why his head is like that.

    Quite honestly, I find the light bulbs we used to have outlasted any LED ones. I feel they are a scam.

    I feel very sorry for the sick man. Not being able to breathe is one of the worst feelings.

    1. Amos is going to be an only child LOL. He's never done that before and it was only for a few minutes. I just happened to catch it in a pic ;) I agree about the LED bulbs - plus they are so much more expensive.

  2. Your poor half sis! I hope his transition is peaceful. As for Amos, you know how hard it is to wrangle DH - he is exhausted, LOL!

    1. I'm sure you are right about Amos LOL. I hope her dad doesn't have to suffer too long.

  3. Maybe Amos in in despair about all the snow. That is a funny way to lie--on his face.
    Are you sure it is not an electrical problem?
    Hopefully, the people you helped will sing your praises to boss.
    I guess the poor guy is so sick he is not wanting to go home anymore. I am sure it makes him sad. He is really hanging on. But, it is a relief he is safe.

  4. That is such a cute picture of Amos. My cat has done that a few times and he also covers his eyes with his paw.
