Pleased

 So many items to be thankful for!

-Our 2025 income taxes are done, with refunds incoming.

-The Cat Car's tail lights/rear lights are in working order now.

-Have completed 103 books and audiobooks so far this year, yet zero household chores done; I'm retired, taking my time with getting busy! 😹

-Attended a yoga class recently, and really enjoyed myself despite not being able to complete all of the moves.

-Managed to wear my inflatable T-Rex costume for the first time in years: what a hoot! My sign read: "Freedom, Honesty, Decency" at the March 28 No Kings Rally.  Received a lot of laughter and car horn beeps from passersby, which was my aim.

-So very, very thankful for all of you and your loving comments for Henry, and encouragement for us has meant a great deal.

His litter box habits remain good; food intake levels remain lower than we'd like.

He sleeps with me at night, and will admit to getting less sleep than normal, as I snuggle with him as much as possible.

Both eyes are weepy, but only the right one seems to want to close.

Will report on what the veterinarian says, after Friday morning's appointment.

Thank you!

Corralling Dinosaurs

Living With Loulou demanded that I post this!

Some of us will do anything to chase the doldrums away.

Saturday, June 11, we once again decided to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the Most People Dressed as Dinosaurs.

We'd tried before:  Get Your T-Rex Here!

In line in front of me.

In line behind me.

In all my glory!
Wore the colorful boa to stand out in the sea of dinos.

We walked one by one through a gate into a corral until all dinos had been counted.

Much kibitzing and hilarity ensued as we waited, and there were cameras in everyone's hands, drones flying overhead, and rock music blaring.

At dusk, the first Jurassic Park movie will be shown in the parking lot where the festivities were held.

We didn't make the record, but it sure was fun!

P.S. Reminder for the next time I break out this costume: don't let Chili Bruce see or hear!

The Hubby said that while Manny ignored me, CB was upset by the swishing of the fabric or the buzz from the inflator.

CB: "Don't freak me out, Mom!"
Me: "Sorry, dude."

Get Your T-Rex Here!

Facebook Event: Dinosaur Costume World Record Attempt!

Dinosaur Costume Event Photos

On August 19, The Hubby drove to our little downtown, dropped me off, and sped away.

He did not want to get involved!

I pulled on my inflatable T-Rex costume, and joined my people!

Me, with a colorful boa!

Let me tell you, it wasn't easy taking photos with dinosaur mittens on.

The organizers herded us into groups of 50, and we all wore number cards.

I was #8! 

Sadly, we didn't break the Guinness World Record-holding number of 252, but it was a riot beyond measure!

No Eastside Cats were harmed; no a single cat cared if there was a giant T-Rex swishing around the house.

Am beyond thankful for getting the chance to do something completely different, especially after all being cooped up for so long due to the pandemic.
