Floof! Bathroom closets.
Comments (30)1960ish build. The upstairs hall bath has a wide closet, that's where we have the other set of towels, seasonal towels for the downstairs powder room, the heating pads, first aid, sewing kit, travel kits and sizes, extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss. Also the paint for when I get around to painting the bathroom. The master bath has a cabinet over the commode, wall-to-wall, for a couple rolls of TP, the shampoo I'm working my way through and not replenishing, the soap I've gotten as gifts that I'm now using, our second set of towels, and my cologne bottles. 3 of the 3.5 baths have cabinets under the sinks; they mainly hold TP and cleaning supplies; one also has kitty litter since the litter box is in that bath, too (off the laundry room). Well, mine has some other stuff since I have only 2 drawers. I used to stock up on stuff, but now that the kids are older (one left at home) I don't. Of course that can haunt me, as when we almost ran out of TP lol. The supply is kept under the cabinet in the hall bath....See MoreCat food ...........
Comments (19)Hi! He seems good to go today. Eating, drinking, using the litter with no problems. I put a call into the new vet this morning but didn’t get to talk with her until almost closing. Understandable as crazy busy as they are. She said no kidney stones on the x ray but mentioned she couldn’t be sure of this or that without bloodwork or urine analysis. I bit my tongue. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that while he was there. His last labs were good and I was so focused thinking he was constipated. She mentioned his anal glands (that sounds so icky!) were very full. I’m sure that wasn’t helping anything. We talked about food again and she said the grain free ones have a lot of fat, but I’m still not on the cat needs grains band wagon. I’m going to do a thorough sit down comparison of a few dry ones. He was just at our normal vet a few weeks back for an updated rabies shot (indoor only but needs one to go to the groomer). DH took him but I didn’t realized until today his weight was down (same) at both appointments. DH was telling me how vet was pleased about that. This new vet encouraged wet food because of the additional moisture plus I add water. Past few days I’ve been feeding both of them Wellness Core Pate turkey and duck and they very much like it. There’s been no vomiting from it (or in general). The more I thought about it the specialty vet is a few hours away and he doesn’t do well with car rides so I’m tucking that place aside for now and am going to try and stay closer to home. I’m going to contact our regular vet to talk about food and weight and probably schedule another appointment. Neither one seem to have hairballs. I will say their grooming habits could be better so that probably factors in too. :) New vet suggested moving water fountain to encourage more drinking. Going to order one. So much for matching pretty food and water dishes! Thank you for all the thoughts and suggestions! I’m looking into the raw food too and will talk with vet about that as well....See MoreFloof!

Comments (22)Busy day at work. Seriously, because the time goes fast, but that means a lot of things happened that needed to happen. Doing things I don't know that I've ever done before. I never knew I could snorkel. Never knew I could rollerskate after having quit for a couple of decades. I didn't know I could do plumbing or drywall until I tried it. Even more satisfying, is when I'm good at whatever it is I'm trying to do! Not everybody's good at drywall. I love to re-read things I've written years ago, and by re-read, I mean in my hold- it - in - my - hands journal. It's amazing how far I've come, and the things I thought about, are still relevant. Though, more fleshed out. Nice to figure them out....See MoreFestive floof! Celebrating then and now.
Comments (8)I liked Christmas as a child, but once I became an adult, it was more stressful than anything else, and my mother took it too seriously. She felt compelled to have everyone together for Christmas, and this became more difficult when the family got larger and had other places to go. I left home at 18, and so after that, I returned as a guest. I have no holiday traditions of my own, although I used to celebrate the summer solstice when I lived in Venice, as that was a good time to have a party there. When I did visit my parents for Christmas and/or Thanksgiving, I would do much of the cooking, partly because my mother did not like to do it and partly because I was better at it, and my nieces especially appreciated it. I found exchanging gifts to be more stressful than enjoyable, and so I did not like that as an adult. We sometimes played board games, and I did enjoy that. As a child, we alternated having Christmas at my parents' house and at my maternal grandparents' house. My mother was an only child, and so her parents were always with us at holidays. My father had two older brothers and an older sister, and we never celebrated any holidays with them. His sister had moved to New Mexico, and we almost never saw her at all. His two brothers had married two sisters, and so they were very close to each other but not to us. Since their children were double first cousins, they were much like one family (and closer to each other in ages). My father's family was not big on Christmas, partly because his sister had converted to Jehovah's Witness (because of her husband), and she had converted my grandmother. I believe that JWs do not celebrate Christmas, as I remember, but my grandmother was not the typical JW. In fact, being inventive (with a couple of patents under her belt), she had created her own version of the religion, probably from her imagination, which was far from conventional. No one knew where she got her ideas, but she did enjoy going out and witnessing. However, when the other JWs found out what she was telling others, they tried to get her to stop witnessing, but to no avail. I was told not to listen to my grandmother because she was "off her rocker," but I found her stories entertaining and imaginative. My grandmother owned the waterworks in town because my grandfather (who died before I was born) and his father had dug a bunch of artesian wells, and so the people in town pretty much had to put up with her, even though they thought she was a bit crazy. She never forced people to pay their water bills, and so my father had to do that for her. She thought water should be free. Anyway, my father's side of the family did not celebrate Christmas in a conventional way....See Moreamylou321
