Hoback Yesterday
Up and out again this morning, just not quite as early as before. First thing we went out to see if we had caught another cat and YES Rascal the calico mother cat was in the trap and was she mad. We put her in with the other two, and cleaned up their cage and got them fresh food, water and litter. They seem to be resigned to their fate. Rascal jumped right in and curled up in the cube with Traveler. I gave Twila a couple of calls about bringing them over but she wasn't home this morning.
It was very cold and windy today, and never got out of the 20s. We had another skiff of snow in the night so everything was white, but it got less and less as we went toward town. We went to Ridley's - Debbie let me off and got her car filled with gas then came back to the store to pick me up. We got some cleaning supplies and some baked chicken and salad for our lunch and went on up to the house. Boy the wind was bone chilling every time we were out in it. The house looked great, all very clean, even the vacuum marks on the carpet were all in a line.
Our plan today was to begin getting the shelf paper on. We didn't know how far we would get and it seems like were are somewhat less than half finished. Tomorrow we will go back and do the same thing again, and get my chemo pump off in the afternoon.
Bonnie stopped by and was measuring the walls outside. She said Craig is going to make a housewarming welcome sign for us - how wonderful is that?! So I think I kind of twisted her arm when she asked if we needed any help, and she got one of the linen closets in the hall covered with shelf paper so that was a big help.
We got tired about 3:30 or so and started home. We are seeing a few more deer along the roads now, but not a lot. Maybe this last storm will bring them down. We made some french dip sandwiches and fries for a simple supper. We heard how the elections went, not too happy about all that. And I'm ready for bed tonight. Tomorrow we're down to Twila's with at least three cats, maybe we'll catch another one tonight - we finally decided to take their other food dishes up and just have food in the trap and it worked. Bonnie's going to come over and go to meet Twila with us about 9. Then we'll go on to town to work at the house.
