6,005 steps yesterday.

No luck with the kitten, but I did see that mama and it were going into the kitty house to eat. That makes me feel better about its nutrition at least.  And actually may make it a bit easier to catch it while in there by just closing the door. We are going to try to rig up a cord so that I can pull the door shut w/out spooking the cats away.

This has become a challenge for the both of us!!

Had an unexpected/unknown visitor to the cat house last night. It dragged the metal  cooler that I store the open cat food in outside and tipped it over. It looks like some was eaten but some left too. I would think a raccoon would have cleaned it out. No clue what did it, but kind of disturbing!

5,712 steps yesterday.

Tidied up kitty house and refilled the cooler. I put a 20# container of kitty litter on top of it. I figured between 22# of food and the litter nothing (probably was a raccoon) could move the that cooler anywhere!

4,419 steps yesterday.

A quiet, lazy day. My hand is getting much better, I think I had better start doing some yard work before my yard is a jungle! I just have to remember to pace myself because the incisions are still somewhat tender.

I think I may even try to get some more steps in today before it gets too hot!

Lazy day, it was nice for a change! Hopefully today will be too. But soon I need to get back to more steps before I just plain get too lazy!

Saw the kitten last evening, but will give it a couple more days before I go back into "catch it" mode. Let it get back to normal after all the fireworks.

5,480 steps yesterday.

My neighbor came over and mowed my lawns yesterday which was sweet of him. The noise didn't help settling down the cats though after the noise of the 4th.  I didn't see the little kitten until dusk. Hoping today will be a quieter day all around. It is going to be hot so I expect the cats will by lying low until evening.

Not looking forward to the heat next week, I have to go out 3 times, Mon for labs, Tue for pcp appt, and Thurs for last followup with hand dr. Of course in the hottest week yet!!

7,592 steps yesterday.

Hosed off my car which was covered with grass clippings sprayed from the mower the other day. We got the rope set up on the garage door ready for our next attempt at catching the kitten. The evening was where most of the steps came in going from one end of the house to the other watching the kitten in back and to the front to see if mama was there or if kitten had come around. Lots of back and forth!! No kitten caught alas!

7,229 steps yesterday.

I did a small grocery shopping after appt yesterday and gassed up the car as I have to go up to town for final check up on hand surgery Thursday. Then Chewy order arrived and I had to unpack all of that (3 big boxes) and bring most of of it inside. Then also refill food cooler in garage. In the heat, I was exhausted after all that! But sure did add steps!!

5,474 steps yesterday.

Aside from my pcp appointment, didn't do much yesterday.  The heat is keeping the cats all hiding in the shadiest places they can find and only really coming out to "play" early morning or later in the evening so no chances for catching kitten. I am going to try setting a trap just in case.

Not much else on agenda for today, besides staying in and enjoying the cool!

Imagine the heat being faced by the tigers in Indian forests. They do have a very thick skin and the heat is unbearable, though in the green cover it does get cooler once the sun has gone.

I can't imagine being a furry creature of any sort in the kind of heat you have!! 90° here today, nary a cat to be seen moving around. They were tucked away in the tall grass around the big trees and in the weeds growing on the edge of the irrigation ditch on one side and creek on the other side of the house. Fortunately it does cool down at night here unlike like some areas in the States where it doesn't.

I can't tolerate heat at all. After 85° I am in misery. Thank goodness for my new A/C!!

When I visited my property in early May, the temperatures were in the 120oF range from about 11 am to 4 pm. We tried staying within the comfort of the A/c hotel room as much as possible during these hours.

Thank the Universe that I was not born there!! I am just not made for the heat!! I was born in Wisconsin and have always tolerated very cold weather well, but hot, I just can't.

5,751 steps yesterday.

Stuck pretty close to home. Checked for kitten a lot but in the heat they aren't out much so no catching yesterday. I did laundry early and some housework. I felt I was being lazy, but I knew I had to rest up for todays hot trip to town.

I've packed face wipes and small ice packs in an insulated bag to try to cool down in the car and frozen some water to keep it cool over the drive. Sounds kind of over kill for a trip to town, but in these temps I'm going to need them!

After getting my new frames, I had time to go to Target before hand dr and after that did some shopping at Fresh Market. Lots of steps in both stores!!
