Saturday Morning

Pop is leaving for Kay’s place. It promises to be only a one-night affair, but I will gladly take it, even though the odds are not bad that I will be mowing this evening and hence sacrificing some of my quality time.

Oh, oh, Pop's car won't start. He said, "It could be the battery, goddamn!" I am feeling a little suspicious that he just really doesn't want to go over there, but I am probably being silly.

He called Jill. I was just able to grab Coco before she came to the door to ring the bell.

Ah, she gave him a jump-start. I forgot about jumper-cables and that whole operation, so long have I been estranged from the world of car-ownership.

Cats and Weather

Now that we have this sunny afternoon, I think Coco is all the more confused and upset about not being allowed to go outside. The problem is that we are not out of this little weather-system yet, with good chances for rain overnight and tomorrow. However, this little sunny spell should be enough for me to mow the back this evening.

Chores

At about six, I started to wind down on my reading to get ready to mow the backyard, when I cursed in the realization that I forgot to shave. I wanted to take advantage of Pop’s absence today, and my mustache and beard is just beginning to reach the point at which it gets in the way of my meals. However, since I did not want to wait longer on my shave, I managed to do both this evening, and I just had a really late dinner.
