When I'm lazy to brew, I go for instant coffee with cream but black coffee is my other option. I also like teas with some Yakult or Lemon in them, especially after a workout or just early in the morning.

The image above is a pithy saying by Phyllis Diller that always makes me smile when I run across it. A little humor brightens the day, and sometimes that's enough for a quote to capture my attention.

I've been bingeing Star Trek: Voyager. I know it's not the most popular series in the Star Trek universe, but I'm in love with the premise and the characters. I love watching Janeway grow into her role as a leader and caretaker of her crew. The Doctor's character arc is also intriguing and fun.

I have to be honest, I have already started to decorate. I have also been listening to Christmas music since November 1st. I went on a weekend shopping trip with friends last weekend and have another planned for next weekend. Yes, it's early but who doesn't need it with all the craziness of the world!

My sister said she wants to put up her Christmas trees (she has two), but her husband says it's too early. LOL! I don't have a tree here. I used to have one but had to get rid of it. I know that Carmine would leave a tree alone because he never bothered it when I had one, but I'm 99% sure Tylan would either try to climb up it or bat the ornaments off. I'd like to find a small tree that I could put on my counter or something. That way, if he messes with it, it won't make such a big mess.

@Nickel, I have not seen that. I may have to check it out! Right now, I'm finishing up The Vampire Diaries series on Netflix. This is the first time I've watched it all the way through. I recently rediscovered Medium, which is on Hulu right now. I tend to like crime and mystery shows.

@SableC., Mittenator - I LOVE it!! Cats know things. I think Mittens knew where she belonged and made her way there. Carmine got a very good report from the vet! His glucose was 105 - the best it has been since this whole thing started. The vet said he's probably just hot and drinking more and that his kitties were all hot and drinking more, too. He has six cats! We are testing Carmine's kidneys again in November. The vet is concerned about possible early kidney disease. I really hope that's not the case. Carmine is doing very well for being 15. Tylan went for his annual exam, too. There is still inflammation in his mouth and probably always will be - he has stomatitis. But the vet says the inflammation is the least he's ever seen Tylan have, so we may have finally found a good Prednisolone schedule for him. Tylan should be all set for another year now, as long as he doesn't get sick or anything.

You are so sweet, @SableC., for thinking about Carmine His last appointment was in May, believe it or not! It's nothing short of a minor miracle that we haven't been to the vet in the past three months with all the boys' special needs. Both boys go back August 5th. Carmine will get another glucose test to make sure he is still in remission. I'm a bit nervous because he's been spending a lot more time around his water fountain lately. It's also been insanely hot here, though, so I'm hoping he's just extra thirsty from the heat and that his diabetes isn't back (increased thirst is one sign of diabetes). Both boys will get checkups and their nails clipped while we're there, too. It's funny, Carmine is as quiet as a mouse on car trips, but Tylan yells at the top of his lungs, the entire way. What's your kitty's name, Sable? I hope you and your kitty are staying cool. I don't know what it's like where you are, but it has just been so hot here the past couple of weeks.

Your spouse or significant other (SO) should always be more important than outside friends. Your SO is the person who will be with you for a lifetime if you two can maintain a passionate and happy relationship. They are the person who will give you support and care when you need it. I’ve read that the rule of thumb is a couple should spend about 15 hours a week together in quality time, just the two of them. After that, it’s ok to spend time with your friends.

Great news! It must have been stressful making sure Carmine lives as well as possible for as long as possible. It's cute hearing how he's regained some youth as well!
