The Moon is Peeking at Me!!!

 

Just had to put this picture on my blog.  The moon is peeking through the trees right out my bedroom window up the hill.  These oak saplings still have some of their leaves on from last year.

So, hope y’all had a good day.  I did.  I have actually had a couple of good days. 

Yesterday morning I went and dropped off my resume’ at Dr. Ciotti’s, my very own doctor’s clinic. They had one of the receptionists quit this last week, and they are a busy clinic.  I know both doctors, the PA, the nurse and the receptionists from going there and from working at Walgreen’s.  Then, lo and behold, my friend Catherine walked in with her sick daughter. We chatted a bit and I told the receptionist that if she wanted a good reference----there she was!

I went to get my haircut (short and spiky) and colored and then spent part of the afternoon relaxing and reading.  Spent some time in the hot tub too.  About 4:30 the kids invited me over to meet some of their friends from SteamBoat, Co and we had fun playing beer pong and chatting til 9ish.  Manley joined the party at one point and got lots of attention.  He is a reallllll party animal!! 

This morning I went out to feed cats…. and then Catherine called and we went to Farmington. She brought me a turkey/cheese sandwich and chips from home, as I had not eaten yet. Then we stopped at Starbucks, got coffee and dessert, then stopped in the Toyota dealer to get her bluetooth reconnected.  We talked with Don, the salesman who sold me my car.  He is just too cute and nice!  And both he and Catherine are from Texas.  Ya know, with the drawl.  Gotta love it! Then we got to Farmington, stopped at the Mexican store for tamales and chorizo and then to Sam’s.  She let me add wine, chicken, strawberries and grapes  on her Sam’s card and then I paid her back.  Then she got us some drinks for the ride home. 

I know, this is long, but a good story!!

****Catherine told me that she had talked with Dr. Ciotti (might as well go right to the top!) yesterday, and told her that it would really benefit their clinic to have me as an employee.  I am friendly, good with people, hard worker………..

I am really blessed to have Catherine in my life as a friend and support person.  We had a lot of fun today and she really needed to just have a grown up girl day after a tough week.

Oh Jacque---she LOVES my quilt, kitty quilts and pillow cases!! 

So, I am going to see what is on tv or if reading my book would be better.  I’m reading ‘Last Snow’ by Eric Van Lustbader.  He was co-author for the Bourne series. 

Can  you believe that my nephew’s daughter is 7 years old today!!!  Now I feel old  :) 

Have a great weekend!!  Tomorrow I have to feed cats, rake up pine needles, do laundry and watch Nascar. 

Spring??

 

The snow is melting, there are bits of green grass sprouting and the sun is shining. What more could you ask for, especially on a Monday?? 

Not much going on the last couple days.  I was pretty wiped out from feeding cats, training and a couple nights of not so much sleep last week. 

I have another lens appointment tomorrow and hopefully we will get them right this time!  I am trying out the new ‘multi-focal’  lenses.  Will keep you updated. 

Hope your Monday was good!! 

Rain or Sunshine??

 

At 7 a.m., the weather was quite undecided what it wanted to do today.  But, it ended up mostly sunny but windy. 

I went out to the cattery and then on to training. I have met a few really nice people during the training.  Some are retired, have no regular job, or only have summer jobs. Quite the interesting group.  I got home about 2:30 and then had to do a little review (as homework) on how to do the census on the Southern Ute Reservation.  That will start on Monday, hopefully.  (It’s the government, so we shall see!)

I have a few errands to run tomorrow after the cattery and of course, cleaning and laundry. 

The next two pictures are of Dusty Dawg, one of the breeders at PK Pixies cattery and I just thought it was so cool that when she was looking to her left, her claws were out on that foot, then she looked to her right and the claws on the right foot were out.  She is the best Pixiebob that I have seen so far. And she has a 2” natural tail with a little curl to it. Check out the feet:

 

 

Cool, huh?

The snow is really melting fast here and the trees are budding.  Spring is not quite here, and it doesn’t quit snowing here until summer (if then). 

Have a great weekend!! 

(fuzzy) Thursday Sunrise

 

I KNOW!!  It’s fuzzy. But the colors are too great to not post this picture.  And, it’s at 6:55 a.m.

So, drove to Ignacio after feeding/taking care of cats, and had training until 4:30.  Then came home with this view ahead of me.

Wish I could have spent the whole day outside, as it was just gorgeous.  Only spent the time to and from the car for lunch and then on short breaks. 

Found out that there was a gas leak here this morning.  The pipe/hose broke off of the meter and so the fire department was up here….. The kids called and told me that they got Manley out and away from the house (on a leash). They also tried to get cats out but they were under the bed.  Aren’t they great kids?? 

Saw a couple of geese out in a field today on the way home.  I keep forgetting to tell you too that I had a coyote run across the road in front of me last week.  First coyote I have seen (other than in a zoo) in real life! He was fast!! 

When I got home, a package was waiting for me and inside was this purse.  It actually matches my wallet and checkbook cover (not as shiny, but same shade of green) that I got in Santa Fe last year. 

It’s the same brand (Bueno) as my brown purse that I bought at Gordman’s last fall.  Nice and soft and lots of pockets and comfy straps. 

Time for supper and tv. Hope y’all have a good night. 

Wednesday Sunrise

 

This was the scene as I drove out to the cattery this morning and then went to Census training for 8:30am in Ignacio.   Just got home at 3:15 and have to do the same thing tomorrow and Friday.  We are doing the Southern Ute Reservation.  And we have to go door to door for interviews, can’t just leave the questionnaires on the door knob.

Time to sit and relax and then think about supper.  More American Idol tonight.  Was a little disappointed with the performances last night.  They were doing Rolling Stones songs and nobody actually did any ROCKing.  They all changed up the songs to be slow and no shake, rattle and roll going on.  Guess I set my expectations too high?   Good vocals.  Siobahn got my vote last night. 

Have a good evening y’all and catch you next time!

A Sunny Tuesday

 

This is what my day looked like!  How about yours? 

Manley got groomed, we took a walk, and laundry, dishes and cleaning got done.  Tonight it is American Idol and NCIS on tv. 

Life at the cattery is ok, no kittens yet. 

I will be training for another part of the Census job the next 3 days.  The job in Durango was taken care of by another group, so on to the next step.  Don’t know what exactly that is yet, but will know more tomorrow. 

No word on the job front.  Hope to hear soon, as I am getting restless here at home. 

The snow is really melting here and it was in the 50’s today.  The sun felt soooo nice and warm.  I bet both Manley and I got a little tan today! 

Hope we have nice weather the rest of the week.  Keep safe and happy blogging!
