Zsa Zsa amazed me today. My AgedCare helper came over to clean today. Usually Zsa Zsa hides on one of the shelves in my wardrobe closet. Today she was caught off guard and was looking out at the birds from my bedroom window. My helper said that Zsa Zsa just stared at her for a minute then came running into the living room crying and hiding behind my legs as I sat on my recliner while watching TV. I can't believe that she didn't try and hide in the living room, but stayed by me to protect her.

She's continued to take baby steps after eight years. I hope some day that she will let me pick her up or have her jump on my lap like my previous four cats. I was told when I adopted her that she would be a "Project". At least she's lasted longer than the TV Project.

Does she let you pat her?

I wonder if she was treated badly by her previous owner.

Yes. She even jumps up on the arm of my recliner so I can pet her. She also loves to be petted while she's on my bed. The strange thing is that she lets me brush her with a rubber brush you fit on the palm of your hand. I can even brush her tummy.

I was told that she was going to be a project from the foster care woman. Zsa Zsa was the runt of the litter and was picked on by her siblings. Prospective owners turned her down, because they couldn't pick her up and she was absolutely frightened in their presence. I didn't expect her to be like my other cats and I knew she wouldn't be. That's why I was so happy that she came running to me for protection when she was frightened by my helper.

I did not get out of bed until 3pm today. Fell back to sleep three times after my alarm first went off at 9:20am. That's because I not only went to bed at 4am, but I went out shopping for two hours with my helper at noon. I picked up a McArch from the drive thru and had it for lunch. I read a few good things about it in a GD thread and thought I'd try it. Didn't disappoint. Larger than I thought and the sauce was very tasty. Cheaper than a hamburger with the Lot from a fish 'n chips shop.

I bought some pork and veal meatballs from Woolies yesterday and some Swedish meatball gravy and sweet and sour simmer sauce which I'll have with them with rice for dinner today and tomorrow. No Menulog or Doordash this weekend.
 
Well I had a disaster in the kitchen. I tried a new recipe for a Zucchini Feta slice. It never set properly even though I left it in the oven for 30 minutes longer than suggested.

It was an American recipe but they also had the ingredients listed with metric measurements. Maybe their conversion was wrong šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø.

The texture might’ve been bad, but at least it tasted good.

Less tourists going to Las Vegas. Chicago1 I wonder if your brother has noticed the difference?

https://www.smh.com.au/national/i-v...p-hits-home-in-las-vegas-20250818-p5mntx.html

On the fabled Las Vegas Strip, the once-buzzing blackjack tables, slot machines and retail outlets are increasingly falling quiet, all due to a sharp drop in tourism.

...

Visitor numbers fell by 11.3 per cent year-on-year in June and were down by 7.3 per cent across the first six months of the year.
 
Stepped outside to go for a walk. It was lightly drizzling, but I thought it's ok I'll just put on my coat hood. Nup I lasted 50 metres and turned back because it got heavier ā˜¹ļø. I was trying to be good šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø.

Yes, for many reasons. Foremost would be what's called a Resort Fee which now is about $45+ per night on top of the room fee. That's to add to taxes for the room. The casinos on the Strip also now charge a parking fee which is around $15. Add that to rising costs for food and even rising tip expectations and you're looking at a downturn in the Vegas economy. That's not even taking into account fewer foreign tourists, especially Canadians.

Vegas has often gone through down times but has always bounced back. It will again if the casinos don't continue to nickel and dime its visitors, which is becoming to Hamilton and Benjamin its visitors.

Normally I'd be in Vegas with my brother at this time for my birthday. šŸ˜ž
