I guess I need to get up after trying to sleep at night. I am a late night person, never liked getting up early in the morning. Had to have a first shift or day job to get up.
After usual trip to the rest room , petting the kittens around my feet, go to kitchen to feed my cats, three five month old kittens I haven’t been able to find homes for, mama Knobbie, (has a short knobby tail) Tigger, male orange tabby, and Tanner, apricot siamese. That’s three cans of food and dry food for inside cats. I got two outside cats that may stay in at night when it gets colder. They get dry food and canned food also. Now that is has gotten colder the are eating more to keep warm. That’s 3-4 cans inside and 1-2 outside at least twice a day morning and night sometimes again before bed.
Now I can make my coffee! Watch some news do chores around the house. I make tea for my neighbor, Jim a disabled vet. Later in the afternoon – evening I go up to his house and straighten up and clean his 4 cats’ litter boxes. Sometimes we eat and watch TV for an hour or two. It’s like I have two houses to take care of.
Last year Tigger, Missy Boots, Prissy slept with me, one on each side above my head and Tigger at the foot of the bed. If I can get Tanner to bed (he is afraid of Tigger) he sleeps beside me), The 3 kittens (Blue Boots blue light colored tabby, Jacques Cousteau “JC ” the curious one in to everything since he opened his eyes, Bobbie short tail from mama, don’t know where they my sleep, have been all over the bed sometimes under the covers. All but the outside cats like to sit with me in my rocker recliner. They seem to enjoy rocking, I can have 2-3 on my lap,1-2 on the back and 1 on the arm all sleeping until I have to get up.
After lunch time I may run errands go to Doctor appointments, get groceries, drug store, trash, what ever. Sometimes I have to take another neighbor to grocery store or hospital.
Yesterday had Dr. appointment at 11:30 am, came home made tea, and mac & cheese and kielbasa for supper at Jim’s. My son came over to get my car to drive to class for plumbing test later in December. Class is three days, eight hours each day, about forty five minutes away .from here. He drives company truck so my car is cheaper to drive than his old truck that needs work. I have my Chevy truck I can use. His wife needs their car to take grandkids to activities, checking on her father and do what she need to do to maintain their house.
The other who live with neighbor who is blind and does not have a car to drive came over asking to take him to store. I took him after call, then went to clean and eat and watch TV with Jim.
When I came home about 10 pm had to feed cats again, get ready for bed and start laundry for Jim, did my laundry yesterday. I like to do laundry at night while is unwind watching TV trying to get sleepy enough to go to sleep when I go to bed. Will take his clothes back tomorrow and put then up. He is a disabled vet with some health issues. We were going to the senior center to exercise until I pulled something in my leg but he is still going 3 days a week and gaining more strength in his legs so he is not as shaky walking. He is enjoying and able to take his shower and wash his hair without help now. His spirits are much better also.
It is better than sitting around watching tv by myself. It is a lot on me since I am no Spring Chicken anymore.
