I’m going to subscribe to the local paper when I get paid again. I’ll probably do digital so that it doesn’t pile up (and save a tree, says the person who is going to cut down the trees in her back yard).

Ugh. I looked away for one moment, and Bella snatched Lily’s food. I’m going to have to shut Bella in the bathroom before feeding them. SHE HAS FOOD! I AM NOT STARVING HER!

I’ve been playing with a cool app called Seedtime, which tells you when to plant vegetables and herbs in your area (and when to harvest them). I’m using the free version, but there is an upgrade to plan your space, etc. I wish that they had one for flowers too. It did tell me when to plant sunflowers. I guess that’s because people harvest the seeds. It doesn’t tell you when to plant fall crops though. Hmm, it says to start tomatoes from seed when I’ll be gone on the cruise. I guess that I can buy plants. I could start basil from seed though.

Woke up a little before 10 AM. Bella was chasing Lily, who went skidding on the table and knocked down a soda bottle. They seem to have quieted down now.

Hmm. I got a New Yorker tote. I can put my music in it for choir, since I don’t know where my treble clef bag went.

Perfect. I let Oliver out of the bathroom (he tries to get outside when I take Bella out and tries to get upstairs) and Bella walked in. I closed the door when I fed Oliver and Lily. It went much better.

Bella was playing with Oliver, and she plays rough. Oliver was trying to bite her ears. Good kitty. You train her.

Napped. Ate lunch. I need to shower and get dressed because I don’t want to get water on my pajamas while I’m emptying the fish tank.

Got my COVID tests and face masks. I wonder if I should take the masks with me on the cruise. Or at least on the plane.

Bella inhales her wet food. (She gets dry food in the morning and night with wet food at dinner time.)

Bella pulled one of my plants off the counter and munched the pot. I bought a new pot for it. I need to remember to fill the pot, give the dirt time to warm up, and repot it. It might be beyond saving, but I’ll give it a shot.

Corralled Bella while I feed Oliver and Lily. Now we’re all fed. Everyone is snoozing except me. I shut the door to the bathroom so that I can go up and down the stairs to the upstairs while carrying water.

I've been emptying the fish tank, but Mimi demanded lap time. I exist to serve :)

I might as well post, given that I have Mimi on my lap. My plans are to empty the fish tank, use the shims to get the water level straight, and fill it up again. Then work on the kitchen.
