Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

Not sure what to write today, not much going on.

I believe Snowbunny is about done with being sick, but perhaps not 100% done. I haven't caught it and as far as I know neither has Brother-Husband. I have a pretty good immune system, I get sick very seldom. I can't remember the last time I got sick. Five years ago? Maybe.

At the moment I'm just getting caught up on my internet stuff. First Polyamory.com, then FetLife, then Facebook. The forum here seems to be a bit slower than usual, today there were no new threads on the Relationships Corner.
 
So, today is Thanksgiving. I do not know what to give thanks for. Snowbunny is showing thanks for her mom and her stepfather. Brother-Husband is thankful that he is off work today. Me, I am thankful that Brother-Husband and Snowbunny are okay with me being unobservant about things.

This is my report for today.
 
You could be thankful for your private bathroom!;)

Leetah
 
I'm very thankful for that. :D
 
So Snowbunny has been gone for a week, visiting her mom and stepdad in (South?) Carolina. The plan was she would fly back today, Brother-Husband was going to go straight from his work to pick her up, her plane was to land at around 6:00 p.m.

It's 8:10 p.m. now, possibly she and Brother-Husband stopped somewhere to eat. If so I'll be bummed, I got my hopes up that they'd bring home some fast food or something. I did tell Brother-Husband I would fend for myself for dinner, but he seemed uncertain about that. In any case, they're not home yet, and I've received no phone calls. Which probably means everything is fine, and the most important thing is that they both get home safely.
 
Sniff sniff, they ate at Burger King without me. :( In the future, I really must figure out what I want ahead of time, so I can ask for it. In the meantime, they got home safe and sound so that was the important thing.

My brother sent me (and the gang) a copy of a book he bought, called "Ready Player One." I've read a little and will read a little more on most days. Has anyone else read it? and if so, did you like it? I've heard that Spielberg's going to make it into a movie.

And now, the ongoing quest to get caught up on the internet ...
 
Still not caught up. Derp

Now my cousin sent me a book ... The Martian, by Andy Weir. Has anyone read it? I do believe I've seen the movie.
 
The movie was good, the book was even better. (And my friends who work for NASA say it doesn't take as much artistic license as one might think...)
 
That's excellent!

I've read a little more, finished Chapter 1. (In the Martian)

Read it? I read it, and then immediately read it a second time because it was so good. The voice and pacing are excellent, and it does a great job of maintaining tension in a believable way. I hope you enjoy it!
 
Heh, so far I like it a lot. I'd binge read it, but I don't want to drag way behind on Facebook and this forum.

I like "Ready Player One" so far too. Can't decide which book I like best so far. Ready Player One reads a little slower, but it has lots of fun 80's stuff in it.

Both books are written well.
 
So, Snowbunny had a hair appointment today (it being Saturday) in Olympia, so, she and Brother-Husband went to do that, and possibly to go to a mall out there. I kind of hinted that I would like to go too, but Snowbunny wanted me to stay home because she thought the holiday crowds would be too manic for me. And maybe she's right, I don't know.

When they get back, we (don't know if Brother-Husband will want to do this part) will go shopping. So that's one opportunity for me to get out of the house. And we'll eat out tonight, that's another opportunity.

There was a parade in Yelm today, it went right in front of our house. Then traffic was directed to in front of our house, so there's been a lot of traffic out there.
 
I’ve read both of those books, and yes, The Martian book is better than the movie, but it is still a great show. :)
 
Luckily the book is divided into small sections, so I can tackle it a little at a time. (Same goes for Ready Player One.)
 
Last night (around midnight), I started awake to a loud crash. Snowbunny and/or Brother-Husband got up right away, so I figured they'd handle the problem. Today everything appears to be upright and in place, so I suppose I won't worry about it?

On Monday (today being Wednesday), one of the cats threw up in Snowbunny/Brother-Husband's bedroom. I had fed the cats a little cheese earlier that day, so, the cheese was suspected of being the cause. Snowbunny then instructed me not to give the cats anymore cheese. I was bummed about this, but couldn't come up with a good argument about it. After all Rainee is overweight, and shouldn't be snacking anyway.

Alas that I can't explain any of this to Rainee. :(
 
Rainee seems to be taking it well so far. :cool:

The cats have two scratching posts. Their favorite one is in my room. You can tell it's their favorite because it's very ratty, and getting rattier. Soon the rope will snap, and come unraveled. This makes me sad.

Snowbunny has been looking for a replacement for a long time ... and she finally found one. She ordered it on the internet. It's described as "tall," which is good because the old one here is also tall.

And, that's the apex of today's excitement. :p
 
Sometime this weekend, there is talk of going out to meet one of Brother-Husband's FetLife friends for lunch or dinner. Or I think it's FetLife. It's possible it could be a work colleague, but that's not nearly as likely. After all, Brother-Husband accompanies his colleagues on delivery runs (for Lowe's), so he spends plenty of time with them (on the road).
 
No news so far on what the plan is today ... Snowbunny did make me a (large) cup of coffee, something she does when it's her day off.

It's quite cold out there, 34° ... with a high today of 47°, and a low of 29°. The grass is covered with frost.
 
Okay, it was a work colleague. We ended up meeting him for lunch yesterday. At Don Juan's Mexican Kitchen. Their new (second) location in Olympia. Goooood stuff.

After that, we drove around for awhile looking at possible areas to move to. Personally I would rather we didn't move, I like our house in Yelm, I like my bedroom with its attached bath. But, I liked the driving around part. We also shopped at a Russian grocery store.

Today probably won't be so eventful. Snowbunny and I might go shopping later this evening. Tomorrow, Snowbunny is taking a day off, and Brother-Husband is working. So she and I will probably have sex, :)
 
You know you can buy sisal rope and rewrap scratching posts! We do it constantly here, since we have 8 cats and sometimes double that in fosters. We would go broke buying new posts and trees if we didn’t rewrap! You can buy the rope at Lowe’s or Home Depot, or order right off Amazon. You just need a hot glue gun to secure it. We wrap existing rope sections, but also will replace carpeted areas when they get ratty as well on climbing toys. At my house in NY, we actually wrapped the stairway banisters with sisal, since the cats started scratching them too!
