Hello Devizes, congratulations on 4 weeks
Hello too to relena and congratulations on 2+ weeks.
Hi Awake. Yes, being at home all the time can be hard. Do you have anything you could do around the house, or perhaps you could go for a walk. I find making planning the night before on what to do the next day helps. I hate that feeling of waking up and knowing there's little to do all day. Being stuck in the house all day is not good for me.

If wife and kid are gone and I'm at home for the weekend with nothing pressing to do, I like to zone out with something like a ken burns documentary series.
Robbie, my team plays at noon as well. That used to mean that I was going to have to start drinking at noon, which kind of sucked because there would need to a form of management to prevent getting torn down too early.

My team is currently getting beat though! (they are the team in my profile picture) The second half will be starting soon so fingers crossed for a better outcome...

, hope you find something to fill the the time, I’ve not watched the Crown yet. I think I’d be comparing it to the real royals constantly.

Eggnog coffee. That's about all I've got right now.
The walk's Nature Highlight yesterday was the local Bald Eagle flying into its nest with a stick! Awesome. They do "nestorations" each year just before laying eggs. They build up the sides of it like a crib rail so the little ones don't topple out. As the young get older and bigger, it gets beat up and the edges get pushed away. Perfect take-off and landing platform. Pretty exciting for me to see. The Florida eagles on the streaming camera still are building two nests. No idea what's going on there.
I have one of these memory jars, I write down all the cool wild animal moments from robins hunting to Bobcats, Orcas and Humpback Whales. It's so full I'm going to have to get a bigger jar:
Blessings of the Blue Planet
Sober Saturday morning never gets old.

Good to see you BigShoe! Congratulations on six days, hopefully a week by now.
Congratulations to you too relena. It used to cheer me up a bit counting up how much money I HADN'T spent on booze. 14 times average daily spend will not be insignificant.
You don't see cats on beaches do you or at least I haven't. I do see a few who live on the canal houseboats though.
"Who's that cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about
Sao!" Oh no wait a minute, it's Shaft not Sao. Truth be known I would probably be the first to cop out. I do own a sand coloured roll neck jumper like John Shaft though.
BTW it features Charles Pitts on guitar incorporating the best use of a wah-wah pedal ever.

hi weekenders 
Manta I don’t think that’s silly at all. I think that happy Manta is real, and she’ll be back again ❤️
Awake I hope you’re feeling a little better today
Congratulations on 4 weeks Devises and 2 weeks Relena!
It’s Sunday morning sleep in day here and I woke up at 4.45am! I tried to go back to sleep but it’s not happening. It’s 4.45 now and as I’m still awake, I might as well go and get coffee lol

Sorry you woke up so early Willow.
At some point a few months ago it occurred to me that it would be funny to take the money I would have spent each day on beer and buy stocks in Anheuser Busch. Only ended up buying a few hundred bucks worth. Still think it's funny.
