Errand Day

Mimi likes rubber bands. If there's one in the same room as her, she'll find it. I have a rubber band around their dry food bag, and she loves to snap it. I finally had to put the food on the top shelf, but sometimes I forget to put it up there.

 

Quiet morning. Mimi is on my lap. Zara is snoozing on the shelves near the window. I assume that Harlee is asleep, but haven't checked on her yet. No, she was daydreaming on her bed in the living room window. Took care of the kitty inputs and outputs. Wrote an e-mail to my dad that got eaten by the computer.

 

I've started turning off the power strip to the TV, DVD/VCR player, cable modem, and router while I'm at work to decrease the "vampire" energy drain.

 

It's looking like I can pull off the trip to visit Mom at the end of the month. I need to double check with my boss though because he's probably forgotten about it. 

 

We're running into snags in our project at work; I'm fielding e-mails from my boss today.

 

Took a nap and had some lunch. I had a bad case of  "I don't want to do anything," but I threw myself together to run errands. 

 

Bought cat food, kitty litter, and some herb plants (basil, dill, Italian parsley, and mint) and a tomato plant. Planted the herbs and tomato. Now I'm sitting for a few minutes, and then I'll get cracking on cleaning.

Mom Report

Mom said that she is slowly getting her energy back and she's eating more. That's good news.

My aunt's radiation is going well, but she was surprised that her doctors want to do surgery as soon as the radiation is over.

Mom and I are going to play it by ear about my coming to see her. I need to talk to my boss first.
