Day 92

Day 92

Saturday, June 28, 2014

This was a fairly busy day.  I got up early, as usual; but went on and got showered and dressed, did dishes, and some general bits and pieces around the house.  I continued with washing up thngs to go to the yardsale too.

DSS and DGS15 came by and picked up (finally) the outside trash cans.  I told DSS to go on and keep the cans.  I won’t be putting anything in them any more since whenever I do it sits there for weeks at a time.  (he completely ignored – or didn’t catch – the sarcasm). 

A bit later TGF came, and took me to town.  We went by the pharmacy, and they took the ughe bag full of old meds that I didn’t know what to do with.  Glad that is taken care of!  Then we went to Wal-Mart.  I got a new litterbox, one with  a cover .. might take awhile to get the cats to accept it.  I got a few groceries; didn’t need a lot. 

When we came back here, TGF rewashed one load of laundry, and took the rest of what was done home with her.  Before she left she help me clean out one small cabinet .. a lot more stuff went into the trash, things that were outdated (left overs from my aborted chocolate career).

After TGF left, I packed up the 2 boxes she had managed to get for me.  I washed up a little bit more stuff, but didn’t really accomplish a lot for the rest of the day.

I woke around 5:00 .. too early, but better than 3:00!!  I went on and got showered so I could do a last load of laundry before leaving later today.  I don’t know when, but DIL will likely let me know when they’re on the way … and I’ll have close to 2 hours from then to finish whatever I need to get done.  As usual, I hate leaving the cats unattended; but I’ll only be gone 2 days.  Maggie will be fine, and hopefully I’ll get Butter to come in and he’ll be fine.  I worry about the outside cats, especially the baby.  There’s not many cats left outside any more .. they have mostly wandered off to hang around somewhere else I guess.   The baby, of course, is here; and mama.  One of the bigger cats seems to still hang around off and on.  I can actually put the dish of cat food on top of the water heater for the bigger cats; but the baby can’t get up there.  I can’t leave food for her anywhere else because those dratted dogs just keep hanging around.

Since this will be a busy week, my posting here will be a bit eratic.  I’ll do it when I can, but not taking the computer with me … have 2 short trips this week.
