Day 1135

I don't remember when we woke up, but we didn't get out of bed until after 9.  It was cold and there wasn't any reason to.  When we did get up it was pet stuff and breakfast, followed by surfing.  Best Buy announced a sale on the TV we were going to buy.  Before we ordered one we brought the apartment TV over to make sure turning it on didn't foul up the DirecTV.  It didn't.

When we brought it in, we left the front door open for a little while.  After we got everything set up we couldn't find Devin.  He didn't come when we called and didn't answer the tweeting toys or the crinkling food bag.  We thought he'd gotten out.

I spent the next hour or more walking the entire property calling for the cat.  I didn't find him.  I gave up and walked out to the mailbox because the rain had kept me from doing so yesterday.  The shithead mailman had hung a package from the mailbox.  Luckily it was still there.  I was just coming down the driveway when Ellen called to say Devin had shown up.  He'd been somewhere in the house.

After all that drama, Ellen ordered the TV.  It will be at the store in a week.  Hopefully the truck will be done by then.

By then it was almost 1.  We had turkey sandwiches for lunch (remember Thanksgiving?).  Then it was surfing until it was time to go to Tomlinson's.  We put Devin in a carrier and dressed up Lucy with a jingle bells collar and battery powered Christmas lights. 

There were 20 dogs by the time we got there, and we were early.  We hung around until it was our turn.  Lucy got to meet and greet, had lots of treats, and lots of pets.  The pictures were taken outside on a decorated chair.  There was no way Devin was ging to sit there, so we didn't even try.  I think they got some good pictures of Lucy though.

After that we went to HEB to get the makings for pineapple upside down cake.  We also got coconut shrimp for dinner.  There were food samplers all over the store.  We almost had dinner there.  Then we went home.

I watched TV until dinner.  After dinner I watched the Timbers lose the MLS championship.  Now I'm watching the Trailblazers.  They seem to be doing OK.
