What Are You Doing Today?

Good Morning :)

Woke up this morning thinking that yesterday was another complete waste but then thought about some things that I did that were long put off due to unexpected circumstances.
So even though nothing major was accomplished I did get some things done! :D
Fed all the cats canned food breakfast today.
Twinkles only ate a little but he allowed the kittens to have his food and sat there happily watching them eat it.
He is such a gentle giant.
He also allows the kittens to play with his tail and snuggle up and nap with him.
Drinking my tea and thinking about what else I will do today.
Been watching "how to" videos on youtube for making rag rugs.
Have the fabric, need to cut it to size and also buy a large yarn crochet hook.
Or maybe I will decide to use the other more difficult method called "braid in" rag rug.
But I already know how to crochet so maybe I will just start with that method. ???
Decisions, decisions! ;/

TTYS :)

Good Morning Everybody :)

Hi Tatoulia :)
OK, so you aren't getting as much done as you think you should be doing.
But, WAY TO GO! for all those little things you ARE keeping up with! (((HUGS)))
This time of year gets hectic with so many activities and the change of seasons takes time to adjust to also.
When that plumber gets finished at your house send him over here to install the new bath tub faucet that has been sitting ignored on my back porch these last several months. ;D


Hi Anonymoniker :)
There was once a time in my life when I also used to heat water in the coffee maker to brush my teeth. :D
Great thinking about making a priority list.
Wishing you all the best tackling it. (((hugs)))


Well, yesterday was difficult for me.
I have high anxiety about being around people but allowing a "stranger" into MY home is the absolute worst for me.
So I was stressed to my limit by the time she arrived but she is a lovely lady who holds the same values as I do concerning animal welfare and stupid humans.
As I handed each kitten in turn over to her I finally took a good look and discovered all of them are girls.
She gave them their shots and deworming medication.
She is searching all her resources now for spaying and getting them seen at adoption venues.
The kittens did very well with the shots. They all laid down quietly and napped for the rest of the afternoon.
I took a nap too.
When they got up they displayed no adverse effects. :D
Maybe today I will get something done around here other than juggling cats & kittens. ;)

Hi, everybody!
Tatoulia, i cracked up at your image of seating at a wedding with all the parents divorced & remarried!!! ha ha ha And yes, the internet is like a black-time-hole! Now that ive cut back, i get more done, my vision is way better, and im not as upset over political stuff.
Tillie, you are so amazing! That is great youre careful about giving the kittens to anyone without thorough investigation! I hope they will work out to be helpful for the kitties?!
My cat that was being bullied now seems to be bullying the others. She may just be naturally regaining her ground, so i dont want to interfere...at least not yet!
My boyfriend is being so aware & good about me getting alone time, but im really preferring to get my place improved, even if that means him being here helping, especially after spending more time in his adorable, clean, quaint & cozy house!
Ive been heating water to brush my teeth in the coffee maker, which is quite easy and luxurious compared to ice cold water like the last few winters! Ive got the next 3 days to make a difference here on my own....hmmmm....im gonna sit in the sun & make a priority list while doing laundry...
~♡~Happy projects to you all!~♡~

Working from home today. Need to get the garbage out tonight. I always miss it Tuesday AMs, which leaves me with the garbage sitting around til Friday.

I am shredding papers and doing laundry. I need to pull it together here. I think maybe wrapping gifts tonightvwill cut down on the clutter. I am not doing a good job keeping up at all. I just sleep instead. Or worse, fool around with the Internet. Colossal waste of time.

I bought new faucet for bathroom sink. Plumber is coming a week from today.

Hey Tillie--all the cat information fascinates me no end! It's like seating a wedding where all the parents have divorced and remarried. Very interesting.

I had gingerbread house making again today. Totally different style of house today. Great fun.

When I first got up I took two bags to goodwill. That felt very satisfying. Now I'm running the dishwasher and relaxing.

Talk to you later!

Good Morning Everyone :)


Hi Anonymoniker :)
I sure do understand how frustrating and futile it can be trying to repair or upgrade in a home with old worn out plumbing and electric.
Hoping you figure out a "small home" solution soon.
Thank you for your generous offer of help sponsoring the kittens.
(((HUGS)))
Financially I've got that covered, really only about 20 dollars buys a LOT of kitten chow and kitty litter. ;D


Hi Tatoulia :)
Making gingerbread houses sound like sooooo much fun! :D
Times like that are more important than just about anything else you think you should be doing.
(((HUGS)))


To keep peace in the house I must keep the cats segregated.
Scooter would eat the kittens, my girl cat would start marking HER territory, my big orange boy would get mean and nasty to me if I allowed the kittens to free range here.
So kittens & Twinkles are kept in the hoarded bedroom with Marty in there sometimes.
I need to keep Marty safe from Scooter who chews on him relentlessly at times.
This arrangement is working very well except when you toss in the man who's bedroom that is.
I asked him to at least gather up all the garbage & dirty laundry in there but he refuses.
His bedroom stank to high heaven before I added the kittens so now he is blaming the stench on the babies.
They all use the litter box faithfully and I scoop it out at least 4 times every day.
He is also complaining about all the toys & balls I gave them to play with, mainly because they like to play at night at times.
All the kittens adore me but one in particular has become quite attached to me and he is now trying to pressure me to keep her.
He would be a cat hoarder if I did not put my foot down and forbid any more cats after he decided to keep Marty & Twinkles as forever cats here.
He never feeds cats or cleans litter boxes or notices when someone needs to see a doctor or gives them their medicine.
I own two cats. My big orange tabby boy and blue eyed albino girl, all the others are his cats.
He has brought home dozens of feral and abandoned cats/kittens over the years and I have managed to rehome all of them. :D
Woman from cat organization has had to reschedule and will be here tomorrow instead of today.

You are so resourceful Tillie! Glad someone can come out to treat the kitties. Tell me, how is everyone getting along?

Going to climb into my clean sheets now. All I got done today. In house. Was making gingerbread houses with friend today and guess what, doing some more again tomorrow. With other friends.

Anony I'm sorry about your water issues. But I'm super glad to hear from you!

Good Morning Everybody :)

Hi Tatoulia :)
Thank you (((HUGS)))


Hi Anonymoniker :)
Try to embrace the "change".
Changes shake things up and help to make you think outside of the box.


Tomorrow a woman from a cat organization is supposed to come by here.
The plan is, she will give the kittens inoculations, de-worm them, weigh them and come collect them later this month for transport to the big city for some kind of pet adoption fair.
Her organization also provides very low prices for neutering & spaying.
We will see how it goes after I further grill/interrogate her as to their policies.
I am very strict when it comes to handing over any animals to people I do not know.

YEA!!! Thank you, Tillie for the new thread! My phone may be capable of doing it, but i have no clue how?!
It is an interesting shift having input & help with things on my place, through my boyfiend & our new trade. He has a really good sense of simple, creative solutions. Certain things i really react to tho, like moving or starting any new piles of anything yucky or junky, like my trash cans being moved away from the house?! For some reason, i dont know how much better id like it to see them on my jogging path towards the well?! Itd be like another pile in my natural environment?!! I think another, better option is to just improve the current trash area, maybe with some new cans? Maybe a small dumpster that is painted pretty??? Maybe thats silly? I like that its all pushing stuckness looser, tho?!
Trying to fix the broken pipes that froze from my recent indoor water addition proved futile. This trailer is a huge challenge to repair. New stuff is installed or connected to old, weak, wornout stuff. I just want to focus on a new little house
We looked at sheds to convert again, now that the log cabin people said my legal limit size is too small for them to mess with putting together. Itd be cheaper, too...plus, it could be decorated with my own mesquite wood!
Tillie, if you need a donation for kitty food or anything, ill happily help? For now, you & kitties are on my prayer list? You are a true saint!
Keep up the great progress, everyone?! ~☆♡☆~

Tillie my dear heart, take good care of yourself. I hope you have soup and other good things to eat! Those little kitties are lucky to have you. We are all lucky to have you!

Thanks for getting Phase Six going! I hated to ask you to do one more thing!

Good morning everybody :)

Great to read your posts on phase five! :D
Been run ragged here and ended up quite ill.
Taking care of myself and ALL the cats & kittens though.
Need more supplies like cat food and kitty litter.
Need HELP! ;D
But the kittens are so sweet and adorable I just could not leave them outside when the temperatures are down in the 20s and the hawks, owls, coyotes & foxes are hungry too.

WAY TO GO!!! Everybody on every accomplishment, especially the little ones that really do add up and help make your homes the sanctuary of your dreams.
(((HUGS)))
