The current weather is hot hot hot!

The topic: Still kicking!

----------------------------------------------

The past few months have been boring. Just the same old stuff.

I've been in electronics hell. Computer problems, internet problems- all fixable, but taking care of it just gets old.

We did get a new washer and dryer set. I'm very happy with them; the old dryer was just so loud (I called it the boom boom machine), and honestly, we were never thrilled with it. And even better, SDG&E added the daytime hours of ten to two to the cheapest tier of service, so now I can do laundry every day. For years it was from midnight to six in the morning; on weekends and holidays, that was extended until two in the afternoon. I would only do laundry on weekends because it was cheaper to run the machines. 

The weather station I had for decades finally died. Two days in a row, the high temperature was 140°. The devices were all wired and came into a little box that sent them over to the display, which sent them up to the internet. I was kind of sad, but time (and technology) moves on. I don't have much control over what gets sent with the new station, but it works, so that's cool. You can check it out at https://weather.lisaviolet.com. The weather widget is scrollable to see more information.

When Brian had his kidney removed a few years ago, he had over a month and a half of downtime. He's gotten used to taking breaks. We watch a lot of tv. lol (It's hard for me to work when he's just sitting there; it shouldn't be, but it is.)

I haven't done much crafting lately. I have a hard time focusing. Maybe because the television is on? Dunno. I'll have to work on that.

Cats are all doing well. Chonky and sassy. 

Anyway, just a short update on life here at the cathouse.
