Friday Fun
Hooray! It’s Friday! This Friday is especially festive because the kids don’t have school, which means I can sleep a little later. Before we head into the weekend I have a few topics to discuss… starting with a controversy in our house. Does anyone else think the Cologuard box is really cute? You know, the Cologuard commercials where the little box is walking around and doing cute things like putting cucumber circles over his eyes and sitting in the movie theater with a box of popcorn? Every time those commercials come on, I have to stop everything I’m doing and watch. I’ll exclaim, “Look! Now he’s riding on the bus! Now he’s wearing goggles!” I want to do the Cologuard test, just so I can have that little box show up on my doorstep. My husband thinks I’m completely insane. He claims no one else in the world loves the Cologuard box like I do, but I don’t believe it. Thoughts? Let’s move on. Speaking of insanity, we’ve had a situation here. We discovered that our new pet rats found a way to get out of their cage, and into the guinea pig cage. We would find them literally snuggled up with the guinea pigs. Now, this sounds really cute, but I think the rats enjoyed this more than the guinea pigs. The rats were eating the guinea pig food, AND let’s examine the fact that the rats could get out of their cage. They weren’t actually GOING anywhere, other than to visit the guinea pigs, but strangely, I was not on board with the whole situation. We have two cats and it was only a matter of time before something really bad happened. I spent hours yesterday reinforcing the entire rat cage with chicken wire. The rats now seem secure- if a little sad that they can’t get out to visit their friends- and the guinea pigs are much happier. Lastly… let’s talk about the weather. At 5:45 this morning when I went out for my run, it was 80 degrees. But did it feel like 80? Oh, no, no, no. Because of the 90% humidity, it felt like 87 degrees. Not okay, universe… not okay. Instead of cooing down, I feel like it’s getting hotter and hotter. But let’s look ahead a little… What is that I see on Tuesday morning??? It starts with a “5”!!! And highs in the 70s- could it really be true? I’ve had my hopes dashed too many times by a cool front that never materialized, but I’m allowing myself the teensiest bit of hope that cooler weather is coming our way.
