Doing one big catchup post.

The Boston Red Sox won yet another world series. Would have preferred Cleveland to have gone to the series and either them or the Colorado Rockies to have won. Would have made a more interesting series.

Been having strange dreams again. The one I had last night involved super heroes. At some point I was walking along a foot bridge that was over this lake and saw three people in their costumes/outfits flying low over the lake and getting the fog cleared out. That showed no awareness that I was in the area what so ever. At the point that I finally got to the other side, I nabbed a gal and took off with her. It was only then that they seemed to care that I was alive. I took off and they gave chase. The woman disappeared, but they still chased me into this weird area where there were lots of people and a small pond. I ended up crawling on to the rocks surrounding the pond and then slip into the pond undetected by the super heroes and then the dream ends.

Robert Goulet has passed away. Although I have been aware of him for years, I haven't seen much of his work. But, I do enjoy the Emerald nuts commercial with him.

The chiefs had a bye week, so they at least had a chance to rest and not embarrass themselves again.

The trees aren't showing much color this year, and I bet the spring weather had a lot to do with it. But I am very happy that I did get a few pictures, because the leaves have dropped on a couple trees and I wouldn't have been happy if I had waited.

I have officially given up on NCIS. Cant stand a couple of the characters, so adios show.

In the past week: the chiefs won, we got half of an inch in rain and the cool weather continued. The days have been cool and loverly (I don't care if people claim that isn't a word). Looks like we might get some rain today.

Have some errands to run this weekend, so it's going to be a little busy. Hopefully, I can do some culling out of a few things today, so when we donate some stuff to Goodwill this weekend we have a little more to give.

Had a weather related headache yesterday that didn't break until I took a hot shower. Some times that works, some times it helps and then there are times I'm just wasting water when trying to get rid of a headache. But I felt so drained from fighting the headache I didn't do a couple things I needed to do. So today I will do those things.

Last night it rained briefly. It really looked like it could have just opened up and poured, but it didn't.

Deborah Kerr and rat packer Joey Bishop have both passed away. Was never a Bishop fan, in fact I've often wondered who the hell found him funny. Where as with Miss Kerr, I did enjoy a few of her movies and shared a birthday (born different years of course).

We got two and a half inches of rain yesterday. A bit of water in the basement, so its a good thing we were planning on going to the Laundromat Saturday anyway.

Have a headache due to the weather. Hopefully it wont completely ruin the day.

We are getting some rain, they have had flash flood watches and warnings in effect since last night for a large chuck of the surrounding area. We need the rain, we are still five inches behind what we should have at this point for the year. The tulip and daffodil bulbs I planted Monday will love this rain.

The Colorado Rockies are going to their first ever world series. It looks like the Cleveland Indians are going as well. They need just one more win, over the Boston Red Sox no less, to go. The Red Sox were in the series a couple years ago and won, for the first time in 80 plus years. So I wont feel too bad if they don't go to the series this year.

We got one and a half inches of rain yesterday. For awhile it seemed the rain would never stop. Looks like we have a chance for some more rain this week. Like I've said many times, we don't get rain when we need it but get too much at once. We seem to be in the latter of that statement now.

Am feeling better than I did last week. Still have waves of nausea when thinking about a certain brand of yogurt for whatever reason.

Purchased some flower bulbs at Lowe's yesterday, will plant them tomorrow or Tuesday. We got Tulips, Daffodils, Crocus and a couple other flowers to replace things that got killed off in the spring freeze.

Happy the Cheifs won today.

I feel better, yesterday I had a migraine that made me feel worse than I already did.

We are getting some rain today, it started earlier this morning. Because it is a slow rain, we aren't having any flash flooding. But it looks like the rain might be around for a few days.

Had a dream last night that involved shopping for Halloween stuff. I went to some store and they had some massive area set aside just for Halloween things. Wondered around for a bit and couldn't decide what to get because so many things looked great.

Have a touch of the flu, haven't been able to eat much because I am have trouble with nausea.

Mom has tomorrow of, don't think we are going to do anything special.

Rain is forecast for the weekend. We could use it, too.

Got a little rain, about a half inches worth the other day.

Will be doing some laundry this afternoon. Don't feel well, may be coming down with something.

Last night I dreamt I was an some sort of an event. I could not make out where I was. There were a lot of people at the event. Was very happy to see Rich and Kail Christensen were there and I was left speechless. Rich if the host of Pinks and Pinks:All out, both shows I watch and love. At some point, both men left and I was disappointed. Wanted so much to do a little more in depth talking about their shows and everything. I wondered around a little more and then the dream ended.

I watched the finale of Top Chef last night and I am still pissed off. Hung won and is a shame such an asshole won, he's a bigger asshole then the winner of last season. If I knew he was cooking at a restaurant, I would avoid the restaurant and get up and leave if I had just found out once I was already there. Bravo, Padma, Tom and Gail can kiss the fattest part of my shiny metal ass. I will never again watch Top Chef simply because the whole show is a fucking sham. They pretty much knew who they were gonna give it too, IMO, from probably day one. So long TC, the ride wasn't that great and I'd ask for the time I spent on this shit back, but I know I'd just waste someplace else.

Okay, I feel better.

We got a quarter of an inch worth of rain on Sunday. It came in a brief, but lovely, storm. Some rain is forecast for today and a couple other days this week. I am not complaining, because we need it all. Of course, it could very easily come too much at once too.

It was a nice day. Was a little warm but it rained this afternoon and it cooled things off a little.

Went to the Nelson-Atkins for a couple hours. We went into the new section that opened back in June, had some lunch then went through one of our favorite areas. After that we came home for a few hours, I watched some football and played online. Early evening we went out to dinner. I took some pictures of some clouds, they were heading out to deliver some rain to some other place.

Overall, it was a good day.

Have had a couple headaches this week, both have been mild.

Am hoping it starts to cool off soon and begin to feel more like fall.

Will do some chores on Saturday and then on Sunday will have some fun. The 30Th is my birthday. As always its going to be a low key affair.

French Mime Marcel Marceau has died. I had heard of him, known about him since I was a child. Don't understand the allure of mimes, or clowns for that matter. Mimes are a step above clowns and both rank pretty low on the entertainment ladder to me.

We are getting some rain today. It may not amount to much, but we need it so badly that any amount is welcome.

Allergies are beginning to bother me more, and will continue to do so now that we are officially in fall.

My birthday is Sunday, and I am uncertain as to what to do still. I think we will go to the Nelson Atkins Museum, look around the new wing and have some lunch. May not do anything more than that before having a nice dinner out some place.

We got a small amount of blessed rain this week. Though it wasn't much, I am happy we got something.

Shortly after I was notified by Amazon.com that my Best of Designing Women" DVD had been shipped, I found out that Alice Ghostley had passed away. She played Bernice on the show.

Brett Somers has also passed away. Just loved her on "Match Game", even if the show sucked loved the banter her and Charles Nelson Reilly had.

Going to do some catch up in one big post.

The chiefs suck and will always suck, at least until Carl Peterson is removed from his job.

The weekend was wonderful, it was cool with lower then normal temperatures and we felt like we were alive again. Of course I had two headaches last week leading up to the weekend and Mom had a headache Sunday afternoon leading up to the warmer temperatures we have now.

Cant think of anything fun I would like to do on my birthday. Of course, what I really want to do is nothing, zip, zilch, nada. But Mom feels we have to do something on our birthdays and so I am trying to think of something to do.

The weather has been weird everywhere. Hot where it usually isn't that hot, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, dry spells etc.

Have several things weighing on my mind that I wont go into. But need some time to give each of the things some serious thought.

Cats are doing fine, the dogs are doing well. Everybody's great, crazy but great.

Need to do some chores, laundry and yard work this week. Don't know how much of any of it will get done, but oh well.

I would very much like to thank Mother Nature for the one and a quarter inches of rain we got early this morning. Was so sure rain would pass us by, but we got a wonderful thunderstorm. The cool air was as welcome and refreshing as the rain. Looks like we have a chance or two in the next few days for some more rain with the cooler temperatures.

Happy the weekend is here and in a good mood. Need to get some things done this weekend, mostly cleaning and culling.

The strange dreams continue. Dreamt that my dad and I were traveling together. At some point we stopped for some food and it wasn't very good food. He didn't seem to understand that I don't eat red meat or pork anymore and insisted that I eat some nasty looking burger. We ended up in a hotel and for some reason (for whatever reason, but it is a dream and I don't think it's supposed to make sense) there were only a few of my cats with us. As we were leaving I was allowed to take one of my cats. I picked Ashley ( our male Himmy-Tab mix) and put him in a carrier. We continued our trip and ended up at a run down house where Ashley got loose and ran away. There are some other odds and ends to the dream but that's the largest chunk I remember.

We did a little bit of shopping today and had lunch at a nice place. Spent the afternoon watching college football and napping. Haven't sleeping well (what a shock).
