Yesterday we woke up to a cool front that had moved in overnight. Not only was the temperature amazing, but there was a steady rain coming down. Donny ran Jackson to Kilgore and then headed to Gilmer to pick up one of his salespeople whose car had not wanted to start. I took this opportunity to climb back under the covers, watch a little TV and then fall into a wonderful nap. I woke up just as Donny came in from doing some work in the chicken coop. I had a not so great dream about being in this weird hotel room with my mom, dad and other people who I can’t remember. It was nearing checkout time and no one would help me clean up and pack our things. I had brought my vacuum cleaner and when I went into the hallway to empty I ran into Dwight Shrute from the office and he came in and helped me clean up. I think that comes from watching too much of The Office late at night. Anyway, it put me in a grumpy mood.

To get out of my funk, I turned on Practical Magic, which completely turned it around. It was leaving my streaming service soon and I wanted to watch it one last time before it did. I honestly cannot wait for the second one to come out. Unlike The Devil Wears Prada sequel, which looks horrible, I’m excited for this one. I hope it doesn’t disappoint as most sequels do. Except for Aliens, that one was better than the first one in my opinion.

Donny came in to lay down with me and we watch The Gorge with Anya Taylor Joy and Miles Teller. I had already seen it months ago, but Donny hadn’t and it’s so good. It’s on Apple tv if anyone cares to check it out. We napped some again after the movie. This was our view most of the day.

And, of course, Monkey had to be right in the middle of everything.

We’d only been snacking all day and were getting hungry. Gavin and Hannah had gone to get sushi at Evergreen and I was on a cooking strike after having made a huge pizza that only two people ate and the rest was giving to the chickens. I made Donny decide where to go get food and he made a very good choice.

Jucys tacos are so good and hit the spot. Even Jackson and Olivia approved. Of course I ate mine in bed because it was bed rot day in my book.

Ever since we got back from Galveston I have been wanting to recreate the creamcicle margarita I had at The Spot. We had picked up the ingredients days ago. It’s not exactly it, but boy was it tasty. I just used a 2 oz of tequila, some pineapple juice, a squirt of cream of coconut and two squirts of lime.

It’s more of a tequila Pina colada, but it works.

I think everyone deserves a bed rot day. I’ve been going full speed since I started feeling better. Both Donny and I needed a day to recharge our batteries. I used to feel guilty about taking a day to do absolutely nothing, but I realized I have nothing to feel guilty about. We both work hard and just need a day’s break. Especially on a cool rainy day because there’s no better nap than on days like that.

Cats just know how to do it right.

And in garden news, our zinnias are blooming!
