Chicken or Fish . . .
First off, Jan and I want to wish our wonderful daughter Brandi a very Happy Birthday.
Sorry we couldn’t be there, sweetie, but we’ll see you soon.
Mister still seems to be doing fine with his insulin shots. He never meows or even jerks. He just looks at me with that, “Can I have my treat now?” look. He also seems to be eating and drinking less. So far, so good.
The procedure is pretty easy and only takes a couple of minutes. I just get the insulin out of the fridge and roll it between my fingers (don’t shake it). The I pulled a new syringe out of the container, pop off the end caps and drop them in the disposal top. Next I insert the needle into the bottle of insulin and first pull out 5 units. Then I push back in until I only have 2 units left in the syringe.
At this point I’ve already got Mister up on the counter, watching me as I do all of this. Then I just pinch off a fold of skin on a thigh or shoulder, and pop him. Easy Peezy.
Apparently for both him and me.
I had to go into Carthage this morning to drop some packages off at the Post Office, and on the way back I stopped off to pick up lunch. No, not Whataburger this time.
Jan said she was wanting chicken so I decided to check out Chicken Express. They’re always busy when I drive by, and they’ve got 4.5 stars on Yelp, so it looked like a good bet. And it was.
I’ve seen them around, and according to their website, they’ve got over 200 locations, but this was our first time to try one. Unfortunately, as they say, no good deed goes unpunished. But it wasn’t Chicken Express’ fault, it was mine. Sometimes I’m just too polite for my own good.
As I started to enter the store, I could see in the glass door reflection, a lady about 30 or 40 feet behind me following me in. Now she was far enough back that I could have been at the counter before she got to the door. But Nooo, I had wait the extra time to hold the door open for her, and then follow her in and get in line behind her.
Whereupon she proceeded to order 250 chicken tenders to go. I was going to be here for a while.
But, as they say, it was worth the wait.
Jan got the chicken tenders, FINALLY, along with Mac N Cheese and a biscuit. I decided to check out their catfish fillets and hushpuppies, along with corn on the cob and fried okra.
Jan said hers was delicious, and some of the best Mac N Cheese she’s had. For my part, the fish was great, with crunchy crust, and the fried okra was some of the best I’ve had. So we were both happy.
We did get some rain around 8pm. Not long, only about 20 minutes, and with no wind to blow it under the canopy.
Pretty much the perfect amount to settle the dust for a couple of days.

Waterboarding at Guantanamo Bay sounds super rad if you don’t know what either of those things are.
