Rainy morning

Once again, we went to bed pretty early last night.  I think it was around 9:30 and after some talking, we were both asleep by 10.  I'm not sure why we are both so tired all the time but it's kind of nice getting a really good nights sleep.

At around 4 this morning, we were both awakened by howling wind and pounding rain.  It was actually pretty crazy and once again I was glad we weren't on the top floor.  If that tree outside were to fall over (and I was convinced it was going to), we would be safe.  That would also take care of our upstairs neighbor who likes to drive his heels into the floor with each step he takes.  He is very very loud up there and I can't wait for him to be gone (and by gone, I mean moved out.  I don't actually wish the tree would fall on him).  But as I was saying, the weather was just crazy last night and it was like that until around 8.

Tyler got up and went to work in the rain.  He said later that the rain stopped about 10 minutes after he arrived at work and had to spend the first half of the day with wet pants.  That's never fun.  But, I got out of bed around 9ish and did my morning routine.  I ate some granola mixed with peanut butter and milk while reading my devotional book.  Calico cat and her kitten were sitting pretty in the hotel tote so I gave them a bit of food and watched from the window.  I love those cats but I know I shouldn't get even more attached to them then I already am.  It's getting hopeless because they are always on our deck now.

When Tyler came home for lunch, he pointed out that Calico had caught her kitten lunch too.  I looked outside and right there on our deck, that kitten was chowing down on a dead bird.  It would have been cute if it wasn't also super gross at the same time.  And now there are bird parts out there, like a bird leg and I think half a wing.  I already told Tyler I wont be cleaning that up.  Tyler said that bird was probably a gift for us for putting them up in our hotel for so long.

My afternoon was spent reading the majority of my book, watching Calico and her kitten, watching Kitten sleep in the bassinet that she's not supposed to be in, snacking on bits of fruit and veggies and going to the bathroom.  This baby is growing so much and my bladder has less and less space to be a normal bladder.  Maybe that's too much information but it was part of my day.  I'm about 8 pages away from the end of my book and I'll probably get it done tonight.

I started on dinner before Tyler came home and it was done right when he got home.  Tonight we had nacho meatballs with cheese sauce and rice.  And I'm not going to lie, it was so good.  I couldn't believe how good they were.  I'm turning into a pretty good cook when I have a recipe that tastes good.  I have to laugh at people when they say they don't know how to cook.  That statement is kind of bogus and yes, I have said it back when I lived at home.  But now that I have to do all the cooking, it's not that tough.  And it's really not that tough to follow a recipe.

After dinner, Tyler started studying and I continued to read.  We then went for a walk around town because the weather calmed down.

And now we are home.  Tyler is playing on his phone and I'm just blogging.  Kitten is probably sleeping in her bassinet again.  It will probably be early to bed yet again for us tonight.
