7,409 steps yesterday.

Amazing since I didn't plan anything. Quick store run for more cat kibbles, with the Holiday was afraid I'd run out before Chewy delivery.

Got home to find a bunch of things on both decks with no note. 2-25# bags of Kirkland kibble on side porch and on front a cooler w/a square hole, an electric water bowl and a structure I can only describe as sort of a rabbit hutch, only different. One half of enclosure is an open box the other half a sealed and looks like insulate box with a two way flap entry. It is a heavy well made structure. Plus a couple sheets of wood that somehow must go with it.

Called my friend from TNR to see if she brought it over from the shelter. Nope! But she said it did sound like something Alan, the Vet at the shelter, might leave.  So I left a message at TNR to see if they left it, but got no reply yet. Alan had also talked about getting me more food and a heated water bowl. My friend is coming over today to see if the two of us can make sense of it all.

Spent a lot of time rearranging coolers and setting up new one and trying to make sense of the "rabbit hutch" as I call it for now. So many more steps than originally thought for the day!

All evening it was bugging me where the heck these things came from. The puzzles were the cooler with a square hole rather than round, and the hutch. The more I thought about it, I began to think these things came from my next door neighbor. Source of OG Mama Millie. I had left a message a while back asking if he knew of any old coolers among his racing friends, told him about using as a shelter with a hole in side, but I never said round. Then I remembered they long ago had rabbits or some caged animal outside in a "hutch" type structure... the plot thickens! What was weird was that whoever left these gifts waited until I had left for the store.

If my friend doesn't think these things came from Fox Hollow (TNR shelter) I'll talk to neighbor. I don't want him to think I am guilting him for food or anything, but I do want to thank him if they are from him...

4641 steps yesterday.  My Fitbit Sense kind of quit yesterday morning.  I say kind of because it didn't die but only was counting about half of my steps.  I had purchased a new Fitbit Versa 4 a while back but kept using the Sense because I liked it better.  I switched to the Versa and found that my problem with it was that I didn't understand how it was different from the Sense and once I got familiar with it I do like it and it is counting accurately so I am using it now.
I started the day sore first thing yesterday and today, don't know why but it improves after I walk a bit.

5,745 steps yesterday.

My friend was ill and couldn't make it yesterday, but I did some looking around at the "hutch". I found some hinges in back of the roof and when I lifted it up I could see inside the enclosed portion. There was a small towel a fluffy pillow and a small blanket. This is definitely for cats and not from my neighbor after all. The TNR people left me all these goodies! My friend says they are inundated with calls and that is why they haven't called me back. A great early Christmas present!! I'll call again and say Thank You!!

Unfortunately, the kitties are not that thrilled with the food, It is little pellets and they just don't seem to like them in any of the foods TNR has brought me. But for 60# of food, I'll ease then into it by mixing for now. I've spoiled them for sure!

4173 steps yesterday.  I am getting my 250+ steps each hour and lately I have been able to do 250 or more steps in one session which I couldn't do before.  I think that is a positive thing and maybe I am getting stronger but time will tell.
Yeah Barbara, I think if they are hungry enough they will have no problem eating the pellets.

6,230 steps yesterday.

Laundry and feeding the kitties was about it for yesterday. Got 3 pairs of flannel pj bottoms from DD in mail on Fri. (couldn't wait till Christmas to open!) so washed them yesterday so could wear the green ones today!

Today is garbage up to the road and facetime with family that's about all.

4396 steps yesterday.  4000 is my goal now and as long as I can make that I am happy.  I may try to get it higher but not right now.

I don't even think I have a "goal" any longer. I'm just happy to be upright and able to take as many steps as I can each day. This year hasn't been easy, and I'll be pleased with any number that shows up in the morning.

I think we are both doing what we can and don't really push any more. Which is just fine!

6,084 steps yesterday.

My habit is to walk around when I am on the phone. Spent a lot of time yesterday talking to kids and grands on the phone!

4654 steps yesterday.  I have never been one to walk around when I am on the phone.  My BIL on the other hand always walks around when he is on the phone.

It is just a habit I got into when first I started really keeping track of steps. I realized that I was sitting when I was using the phone and I could just as easily be adding steps! Ever since then I always walk when I talk. Some days, like yesterday, the steps really add up!

6,296 steps yesterday.

Didn't think I'd do that much! Mid morning when I was reviewing my Chewy order, I realized it probably wouldn't arrive until the 2nd or 3rd of Jan. and I am down again to only 3/4 of a bag of what they will eat. I sort of panicked even though I have the kibble food they don't like, I went to the grocery store and bought 2 more 16# of Friskies kibble. Spoiled kitties I know, but not the time of year to just totally switch to a new food.... So I got some bonus steps.

4911 steps yesterday.  I am actually surprised at that but I do seem to be doing a bit better as I keep it up.  I did push my goal to 4000 steps and maybe I can get to 5000 but I will just see where it goes.

5,838 steps yesterday.

Freshened the straw in some of the coolers and built a new box shelter by the garage.

Did some rearranging in the bathroom in the addition. Threw out a bunch of stuff and moved some things. Discovered an outlet I didn't remember I had as I cleared space! I think I can fit a small freezer in there! Yay! The floor is tile, everything else is carpet except the kitchen, and no place there to put one. I can't believe how happy that makes me! I had a small one in CA which I sold when I moved up here, wish I hadn't! Best Buy may see me soon!!

All in all a fair amount of exercise! I'm trying really hard to ignore the sore hands and get things done as I can. Jan 16th can't come soon enough!
