3 for 3

Yesterday, I got Biggie three different kinds of cat food. All fancy, high end shit. He liked - or rather agreed to eat - exactly ZERO of them. Last night I opened two of them and served them side by side. He ate the freeze dried pellets instead. This morning I opened the other one. He sniffed and walked away. I opened up his usual and he gobbled it down. The pet food store doesn't carry his usual and, sometimes, neither does anyone else. It's had big time supply issues. It's available now, so I guess I'll just lay in a supply. I'd still like to find one he doesn't hate that I can get and open. (His second favorite comes in little plastic containers that are a bitch to get into. I cut my fingers nearly every time.)

The pool was empty today. I swam by myself until the last 10 minutes. The bus was also sparsely filled but the traffic was back.

Last night I finished watching The Tourist (HBO). Wow. It's one of the best things I've seen on TV in a while.

Today I need to pick up the crap in this living room. Somehow it's gone from tidy to a mess.

Ha. Just saw on Twitter that they got a foot of snow at Snoqualmie Pass where Bill and I were less than a week ago. Chains required. Timing, we got it.

I have an Amazon return and I need some groceries. But there's no hurry on the return and I don't need need groceries so today might just be a stay here day. And a laundry day.

I've got lots of TV to watch and crocheting to do.

Oh! And the next Brother Bill visit is on the books! His son and son's wife (from Iowa) will be in Seattle at the end of August for a couple of days before their Alaskan cruise. So Bill's coming to be here at the same time. A foursome! He booked his flights today. I need to start new todo lists and new toeat lists.

How fabulous to be seeing your brother again.

I agree about The Tourist. We finished it last night too. Exceptional cast. It is hard to even remember how chilling was Jamie Dornan in The Fall after seeing this. Remarkable example of what acting can do. And best supporting actress, Danielle Macdonald. I swear I've seen her in something but when through her online bio and can't find it. Anyway, I loved her and the whole series.

My whole swim this morning I kept unraveling the plot. And Helen. Yes. I want more Helen.

I envy you your retirement life. Someday soon, I'll be retired, too, I hope!

It's nice you don't have to wait another year to see Bill!

I'm sorry you're having this problem with Biggie. Cats are wonderful but strange. It sounds like you had another fairly relaxing day. I'm glad your brother will be coming again in a few months, since the two of you had such a wonderful time!

Saw on the news that the canned cat food shortage is due to an aluminum shortage. Part of it is supply issues with China, and part because beer has been changing from glass to aluminum.

I have a strong memory of driving over Snoqualmie Pass, probably in 2005. It was summer, so we didn't have to deal with snow, but some kind of lane restriction resulted in a backup of at least two hours' duration.

Ha! I guess animals are more like us than we think!

Humans who eat "junk" all the time, also turn up their noses when presented with "better" options! Not to say his usual stuff isn't healthy too, but it's like trying to get someone who regularly wolfs down fried chicken to try a chicken picatta instead. They'll curl their nose and look at you like you tried to poison them, lol.
