It's optional.

This is the current sky as seen from my driveway.
We, and many other counties, are under a tornado watch, until whenever.
There is no end time, just a watch, just wait.

No one from the school called me back about the field trip, so I called and spoke directly to the teacher.
Her reason for not filling out the form?
She was in a hurry.
But yes, they are going to GWiz, and yes, it's $56.00, but it's optional, students do not have to go.
What will they do if they don't go?
Regular classes will be happening because the teacher who arranged the trip, the teacher I spoke with, isn't going on the field trip she planned.
Nice huh?
She's obviously a very busy teacher, she doesn't have time to fill out the field trip form or even go on the field trip she planned.
Baffling.

I'm taking the ultra lazy route on dinner this evening.
BBQ chicken breasts and french fries.
Two baking sheets in the oven, one with fries, one with boneless, skinless, breasts.
In about 20 minutes, I'll go throw some sauce on the chicken, and voila, dinner will be served.
I'm just wicked tightened up in my shoulders and lower back from the weather.
We may even get hail, said the weather guy.
Won't that be fun?
I haven't seen hail here since one of the hurricanes about 4 years ago.

I'm still learning how to do all the different functions of my camera, and took a bunch of shots today after my batteries charged back up.
Maybe I'll post some of my face ones from the batch.
Later days!

My pretty Kali kitty.

I suppose you could call this a cat post, but it's just 3 pictures of my pretty kitty Kali.
She is 10 years old now, and the most loving, beautiful cat I have ever owned.
She just lays there, purring away, while I snap a few pictures.
I would have kept taking some more, but my batteries were dead, and I found my other pair of rechargeables in the GH3 guitar.

I love her colors.
She has the most gorgeous coloring, and it's so soft, like a nice blanket soft.
Her fur is thick, and she's always grooming herself.
I love that her nose is just as colorful as her fur, it's cute, makes her so unique.

She is getting older now, has to eat special food, and you can tell her age is catching up to her.
At night, it's almost like she has muscle spasms.
She shudders while she sleeps between my feet, it shakes the whole bed.
I'll be taking her to the vet when I get my income tax back, just to have her checked out.
I hate to think that something may be wrong with her heart or something.
She's my baby, my cat, my best fur friend.
When I was in the hospital, she was so sad and worried, she licked all the fur off of her belly, it was pure flesh by the time I came home.
And when I did come home, she didn't leave my side for weeks.
I was in bed for hours and hours every day, and she would stay with me, right by my side.
She'd run out to the kitchen and swallow down food in a flash, a quick drink of water, and then rush back to my side, where she would spend the next hour just licking my hands, my arm, my face.

I hate to think of the day she will no longer be with me.
That thought consumes me sometimes, and I am flooded with emotions.
I know it's coming, I hope not soon, but I have to prepare myself for that day whenever it comes.
It kills me to think of going to bed and not having her between my feet, her back up against one of my legs, one paw outstretched, touching my other leg, doing that loving kneading touch she does when she's happy.
If I lay on the couch, she can barely wait till my body is settled and comfortable, before she jumps up on top of me, licks my face, and then settles into a sleeping position on top of my chest and stomach.

She's my pretty baby, my girl, my Kali kitty.

Kat is bored. Kat has a camera.

I tend to do weird things when I am home alone and bored.
Yes, I could be answering the 60 something emails in my inbox, but this seemed far more fun at the moment.
I will get to them though, in just a minute.
All pics are clickable for bigger.

I don't have crows feet, but a lot of under eye wrinkles.
I'll be 38 this March.

So close you can see my contact.

Grey hairs which will be dyed away tomorrow.

A single grey hair up close in the mirror.

Got a few minutes before dinner so here's some pics.

Actually more than a few and when I catch the person who turned the temp to warm, they will die a thousand deaths. I now have a forty five minute wait until dinner.
Thanks temp turner.
Click for larger as always.

First up, we have two pics of baby kitty.

And now here's some pics from today.
This is normal seasonal driving around here.
