Can I add to the list? Give sweet Artie a big kiss and hug for me.
I am supposed to go to the gym today, but Artie's boxes and the bathroom they are in, really need to be cleaned.
The litter desperately needs to be dumped and boxes fully scrubbed.
I have been putting it off. They do not smell. I keep scooping and adding more litter, but I am overdue with scrubbing them. I have to keep the place clean.
That will give me a lot of exercise. it is a smallish bathroom, but it will be a work out. I have to shake out the litter rugs in there, sweep and vacuum the floor, dump one box at a time (making sure he has one available at all times). He has 2 boxes; mostly using one. Then I have to scrub the bathroom, put the trash bags with the litter in my cart, vacuum the great room from all the excess litter, and then down to the dumpster to dump the bags.
It is a lot of work. I do take breaks in-between. I hate doing this, but it has to be done. Oh, to have my own place where I could just dump the bags outside my door, wash the boxes outside, and let them dry out there. I wish I had a cellar. I could just take the boxes downstairs and do it all there.
Three things:
Regular morning stuff

start working on litter boxes

He was funny yesterday. I was busy, late in the day. He kept following me around, meowing, running off, coming over, meowing-really loud. I could not figure out what was going on with him. He had food, he peed about 20 minutes before that, he did not want to go in my closet, he did not want to go out, he did not want to play.. what was it??
Turns out, he was trying to tell me that he had used his box to poop!!! He was telling me to scoop it!!
This cat is "too" smart....
Also, last night, when I went to close my closet door, I looked in to see if he was in the corner bed I made for him.
No--so I closed the door. I was looking around for him, but could not find him anywhere. Thinking that he found a new hiding spot, I just went on with the night.
About an hour later, I still could to find him. Finally I opened my closet door, and he came running out!! He sassed me for locking him in the closet!! He found a different hiding spot!! In the corner behind my box of winter boots/shoes....
Well that sounds like a nice day already.Regular morning stuff.
Brush Artie.
quick pick up around here
Bank
meeting a friend for lunch
??who knows what for the rest of the day???
lol. I just watched all 6 years of an old 60's show (Hogan's Heroes). When I got to the end I was so disappointed there wasn't anymore, I decided to go right back to the start and watch it all again. Well, I expected I might find that boring having just seen it all, but...apparently I had fallen asleep on a LOT of episodes that first time through! So that worked out ok.Rick finally got around to telling me that I could buy Quicken for his union local's laptop; he does their financial stuff. I did that yesterday and got it installed. While I was at it, I updated everything on that laptop and then our laptop....Rick is now using our laptop as his regular computer. I spent most of the afternoon doing computer work. But it's all done and everything is working properly.
- Breakfast for the furkids; I emptied the dishwasher and while I was on the treadmill, Rick scooped boxes.
- He is downstairs working on sanding/staining some wood
- Three loads of laundry, including the bedsheets (which I simply threw back onto the bed)
- Miss Pop needs those talons of hers clipped! She meets me at the basement tour when I'm finished on the treadmill. I pick her up and we "tour" the basement for a couple of minutes. Then I bring her back upstairs with me. She usually leaps from my arms to the back of the sofa. Well, my shoulders are wearing some claw marks today. Time to clip!
- And speaking of clipping claws, I want to do a manicure tonight. Guess I should clip my own! :lol3:
And I think that will be it, unless I decide to do a quick vacuum. Rick just vacuumed yesterday and he did a good job, but there's cat hair in the hallway again. And that's despite brushing all the cats last night while I was watching the last 3 episodes of Outlander. I'm now finished with season two. Took me long enough, but I simply didn't have the time. And even when I did, I'd turn on an episode....and then promptly fall asleep anyway.
Oh thankyou! And forgive me, I just assumed everyone was quite a bit younger than me.Sounds like you are very musically talented! And, of course, you are welcome here! Post away and have fun!
Oh wow.....we were always big Skynerd fans. I was in the kitchen baking cookies when I heard the plane went down; a GF called to tell me......funny how you remember exactly what you were doing when something like that happens.
You never saw Hogan's Heroes? It's a true oldie-but-goodie. My favorite older series is M.A.S.H. It's on every night on METV and I think I've seen every episode now. But I watch them anyway, while I'm exercising. A good show.
We use Quicken because it helps us keep track of what we're spending. And with six cats (and a beagle), we need to keep track of pet expenses. He wanted it on the union's computer because it's easier to track what's going on that way. He needs to do reports every month and, that way, it's just a matter of bringing up the file he wants, clicking on Print and the report is done. So much easier for him (and me, too!) than trying to do it all by hand.
So today.....back to the office.
- Breakfast for the furkids, then 3.5 miles on the treadmill, made the bed, scooped the boxes, and grabbed a quick shower
- Grocery night (we got another PetSmart coupon via email, $10 off a $30 order and it will come in quite handy)
- Scoop the boxes
- It's an exercise night tonight
