Back in west Georgia/east Alabama where it was 49 degrees at 0730 hours this morning. Cats were happy to see us back. I am already missing warm tropical mornings with ocean breezes. So coffee first.
Because a good day starts with good coffee.
Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to.

Was sleeping soundly when the alarm went off at 4am. Wife needed and early dropoff at the airport. Came home and took dogs out in the rain after that
New stray cat appeared last night. It didn't want to get too close but I fed it anyway. Eventually we can get it trapped and checked for a chip. Outside cats just don't last long where we live, and we don't need more indoor cats
Need to go to bed at a decent hour tonight
Fuego for lunch today was good. Leftover pizza from Trackside tonight
Got in touch with the doctor's office and scheduled an appointment for Thursday morning to have my knee evaluated... finally. I have gotten REMARKABLY GOOD at going up and down the stairs putting most of my body weight on my arms. Still pretty useless on flat surfaces without crutches or something to hold on to. As I felt something pop on Friday, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need surgery.
Been thinking about Tanya today with it being Muster. The KC A&M Club is having a nice dinner tonight for $35 per head in Lenexa, KS. That's about 2.5 hours from me, but I considered it. The STL A&M Club event is in the western suburbs, about 2 hours to my east. It's at a brewpub though. That struck me as "overly festive" given the reason for gathering. As it is, I'll stay home and watch baseball. With me being on crutches, home (specifically the couch with my foot up on the coffee table) is a good place to be.
Beautiful sunny day today. Currently 77F with a nice SW breeze and open windows. That makes for happy cats. Always strange when I have good weather and there's a rainout at Olsen.
My 4/20 update. I went to the dispensary after work yesterday and bought this:
I've had edibles before and never gotten anything from them, so I ate five (half of the bag). I was already tired before I took the edibles and still tired after I did (but had a mild buzz). Still had trouble sleeping because my knee was throbbing. Not a bad experience, but pretty much a waste of money.
I called my older sister (only sibling) tonight. There's a family land deal she's trying to manage, and I had questions about her texts. We hadn't talked since August at Tanya's funeral. We only text now. I'm always disappointed when I talk to her. I keep hoping she'll become a nicer, more caring person than she is, and she never does. I always get angry during our calls, and none of it will ever change.
I once asked sis if she wanted to do something in Houston on a Saturday (she lives in the Clear Lake area). Tanya and infant Benny were going to be doing something all day, and I wanted to get out of Bryan. Her response "Thank you, but I'd rather spend that time with my family." Until that moment, I'd thought she considered me family. It's a coldness that will never go away.
That's my venting for the night. If you're close to a sibling, appreciate it. I'm jealous of you.
