The books are at customs.    I am almost afraid to announce anything after the last shipment, but I am following the UPS virtual trail.    Did last time too and it didn’t make any sense,  this time it does.    Crossing fingers.  Come on, books.

The weather is holding on…    and I hope it keeps on doing just that, although they are saying that by the end of next week we should be getting the white stuff.    I am not ready for this.  I still have at least 2 appointments I need to attend and I don’t want to do it in fresh snow.    Maybe Mother Nature will change her mind.    Hold on to that thought.

Well Halloween has come and gone for another year    and in less than a couple weeks it will be Remembrance Day    (also known as Veterans Day).  We don’t have anything following that here until Christmas,    although I know down South they still have Thanksgiving.    So will acknowledge both.

Snoop is sure showing his age,    he screams he wants outside,   spends about two minutes there then screams he wants in…    got distracted by a telephone call with him outside the other day, by the time I broke free to let him in he was climbing the screen.    (surprising what difference three minutes makes.)  I never saw a cat head for a hot air vent so quickly.    I swear, he was still shivering ten minutes later… not to mention the nasty looks he was still sending my way.  Well maybe not… he did want me to take him to bed for a little TLC.

Well, time to see if customs have released my books…    maybe… if I am really lucky… I will get them early.    I really don’t know what to think when they do a warehouse scan.   Dare I hope?    Snoop is hoping so too… he thinks he needs a new box to play in, while the feather blanket is being aired out… it smells suspiciously of cat.
