Yeah I really liked it when we lived up on the mountain and it didn't bother me that it was a 30 mile drive each way to town and shopping but it became too much to deal with and since moving to town it has been mice also for a lot of reasons.  It is still a small town with about a 30,000 population and is largely here because of the military base but there is a Super Walmart and other stores and a few nice restaurants and the hospital has all of the doctors I see so it is nice to be close.

Quote from: bigskygal on February 23, 2024, 09:32:54 AMSo project for today is check every cooler and see which ones need total refreshing. I'm going to mark the ones that have ice so I know which ones to keep an eye on from now on.

LOL!!  ~ cat ~  ~ cat ~   

I was gobsmacked by the amount of ice in about 6 of the coolers. Both my friend and I have no idea where it came from other than maybe condensation. There were no leaks to let water in and I can't imagine a cat bringing in that much moisture. Actually even breathing out that much moisture. A mystery to be sure. Totally exhausted tonight...

My back and hands are stiff and achey from yesterday's work on the cat coolers. There is still more that needs to be done outside, but it is going to have to wait at least a day.

My friend and I started to make plans for the cattery in the garage yesterday. The TNR shelter is taking March off so our plan is to get it made then. Lots of boxes and extra furniture in there to be moved/repurposed/tossed, so it will take a lot of work. I just hope kitties can accept it.

4578 steps yesterday.  I was doing just fine all day but after about 5000 steps I got really tired and had a hard time.  Today I am sore so it is going to be a resting day.

I did run to grocery store and glad I went early. My road is a huge muddy swamp! I barely got out and then back in again after shopping. No way after last nights rain and this morning's showers am I even going to try to take the garbage up. Will move it to garage and hopefully next Monday will be better.

May have some shoveling to do today if we actually get snow and I'm sure some things will need to be found, no matter how carefully I secure them some always manage to escape in the high winds.

OK, after a weekend of taking it easy I am back to walking and so far it is going well so maybe I will get back to my goals.

My neighbor finally dragged the road with this huge weight and made it almost passable, I was able to get the garbage out.

Was trying to take it easy and then in the afternoon, Mama Millie decided the kitchen counter would be a great place to sleep. That is the one place cats are not allowed ever! After I discovered her the first time I diverted her to another sleeping spot and sat down. Not long after she disappeared again, got up and found her lazing up on the counter again! Some very firm No's and took her in the living room with me. Rinse repeat 2 more times. Then I put things along the edge of counter thinking to deter her. Not long after there she was again! Practically built a wall next to discourage her. I cleared a spot on the chest I have next to the end of counter to mix cat food and she sat there looking at the cats on the deck. That seemed to please her. But for the next few hours I kept getting up to make sure she wasn't on the counter. And thus there were more steps than I really wanted...

4228 steps yesterday.  Just trying to get my hourly steps in and so far it is going OK.  I turned my calendar over and surprise, I have no appointments for the entire month of March!  That is rare but April will be busy.
