mom31257 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 I don’t think I posted over the weekend. Our cat, Minnie, who was hurt, died while we were gone. The kids said she seemed to be doing okay and kept spraying the wound as they were supposed to. She was staying laying down more that day but was getting up to eat and drink. They saw her up at least two hours prior. She was ours almost 7 years, and she was a great cat. She was affectionate and never met a stranger. She will be missed! 8 Quote

Storygirl Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 @mom31257 I'm so sorry about your cat and that it happened when your kids were home without you. Our cat was almost 16 but also was with us for about 8 years (she was my mom's cat before that). It's so sad, but also we can be comforted that they are no longer in any pain and that they had lives filled with love. 7 1 Quote

I don't think the vet ever told her an estimated age, but she gave birth to 7 kittens that year. I don't think she was very young having that many. Edited February 5, 2020 by mom31257 7 Quote

My dad (in his 80's, so this was before modern thought on cat population control) says that his family had a cat that had over 100 kittens over her lifespan. She was a prolific breeder, and her kittens were adorable, so they never had trouble giving them away, even though they lived in a very small town. I think it's amazing to think about how many descendants that cat had. 8 Quote

LisaKinVA Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Mom - sorry about your kitty. I still miss mine, and it's been about 7 years. I keep telling my husband that once we're moved in, I'm getting another one. Maybe that's why moving in is taking longer than it should... 😏 Swimming & Reading Failed at making Daikon Radish Chips... trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the daikon. I may just shred it and try to make "hash browns" Work...I'll be logged in. Work is pretty quiet at the moment. Unpack some new storage things (already put the papers and magazines inside them, moved my dish towels to new baskets in the kitchen). Clean off my desk Clean up the other things in the office area I want to eliminate Move my swimming books back downstairs to my office Unpack some more books, clear off a table Laundry ... because I leave tomorrow. Swimming & Coaching on deck. BED 5 1 Quote

SKL Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Happy hump day y'all! Still dangerously behind on my work - nothing new there.... Done: My alarm did not sound because the battery died in the night. Got up maybe 7:30? (Supposed to be by 7am.) Reviewed spelling, made corrections. Reminded kids to take instruments, cheer clothes/shoes. Kids left on time to just meet the bus, which was also about a minute or two late. Good enough. Took out the garbage, cleaned part of the garage. Brought in and processed the mail. Cleaned the kitchen, bathrooms, and some clutter. Fed the bird. Put away some of the laundry. Coffee 1. Caught up on emails, news, social media, calendar, and electronic school stuff. To do: Lots of client work. Priorities: 2 audit packages for client 1. 2 quarterlies for client 2. YTD for audit of client 3. 1 more for client 1. As many as I can finish for client 2 - there are over 20 audit packages due ASAP. Audit confirms - various. 3 audit packages for client 4. 3 more for client 3. 8 for client 5. Whatever emergencies arise. Whatever I'm forgetting. Exercise. Pay bills. School forms. A little reading. More laundry. Kid2 has horse riding. Kid1 has math tutoring, cheer practice, and trumpet lesson. Kids' homework, AHG work. Kid2 should clean room if there's time. Get ready for tomorrow morning. Kids' showers. 6 Quote

mom31257 Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) This is Callie. Minnie had 7 kittens, and we gave 5 away. We kept this little girl and a boy cat we named Little Bit, who ended up the biggest of them all. He died while we were gone on another trip when he was only 2 years old. She is small, uneasy around strangers, but very affectionate with us. Edited February 5, 2020 by mom31257 6 Quote
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 human care done pet care done medical care done I need all the trophies. I spent all morning doing the camp business that I have successfully avoided for the last three months. It involved typing things in legalese that I don't quite understand (ok - I do sort of understand it but it gives me the hives anyway. . . ). 4 1 Quote
TheReader Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Home from my running around. Whew. The rest of the days should not be this busy. Folded all the laundry before I left; debating whether I need a nap or not. It's COLD and blah out, which always makes me really sleepy whether i"m tired or not. On top of still being tired from the last....however long....leaning towards yes but we shall see. I do have stuff I want/need to do, also, so.... Our weather is nuts. Yesterday, 80 degrees for the high. Today, the "high" was 54, at 6 a.m., with temps now in the mid 40s and falling. Snow flurries a little north of me overnight tonight, and near freezing (just above freezing) for us here tomorrow. Friday, though? Back to 70+. Because, Texas. This is why we can never pack away "seasonal" clothes. Ha! Seasons..... Okay, yes, having sat down and stopped moving, I can feel my eyelids growing heavy. As I nearly forgot (2 mins after telling the kids) that I needed to stop and gas up.....sleep seems a good and wise plan. The stuff to do will still be there when I get up, and if I sleep now, I should actually still have enough time for it all, too. 5 Quote
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 Washed, dried and put away dishes, knives and pans. Wiped down counters, stove and microwave. Went through mail and sorted tax stuff. 5 Quote

TheReader Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Oh, also, emptied & reloaded dishwasher Tidied living room/kitchen Split pills for DS22 and organized the pill organizer that came in the mail today (yes, we'll have him take that over, but I wanted to test the pill splitter) Okay, now going up with a snack to do Barton & Math with DS14. If I bribe him with food it ought not be too bad 😉 4 Quote

SKL Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 I got some work out, but am still way behind. Too distractable. Still working. Will have to take a break pretty soon to get some dinner for me and the kids. Probably Chipotle. 5 Quote
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 6, 2020 Author Posted February 6, 2020 Folded and put away two loads of laundry 2 Quote
TheReader Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Margaret, your definition of taking it easy is different than mine, LOL, but I'm glad you're starting to try to rest some. Good job! DS and I did his Barton.....ummm, we've not picked it up in 2.5 years. Egads. (Somewhere along the way, he started reading on grade level, and it just....fell by the wayside....) Plus of that is, he blew through half a lesson in 30 mins. Down side of *that* is we've only got 3 lessons left in this book/level, which means....what? Six more sessions?? Eek. I wasn't planning to have to buy the next level that quickly. Gonna have to evaluate whether he *needs* to continue with Barton or not, or we're good sticking to other stuff. Let's see....what else did I do.... ....took DS to youth group, ate dinner, picked up DS from youth group, got all the laundry put away that was waiting.....didn't do math. Will add that to today's list. 2 Quote
