Rain had moved in last night and along came a cool front. Opened windows at 3 a.m. when my sinus tossed me out of bed. Only a couple windows for the cats. Miss Kitty is not batting at my hand as much when I'm at her bowl or putting down treats. I just hold my hand still and let her sniff. A friend of mine thought she may have been an 'in and out' cat but I say she was not. I've only managed to pat ?pet? her back a couple times.

Wil has done real well in not letting either of them out. So far. They kind of stand back from him. On a couple occasions I had to explain to him they were playing as they can get rough.

I got out to walk my 2 blocks today. I have to wait until Wil is up and fed. He has gotten up before and didn't realize I was sitting in the recliner. So I am not comfortable just leaving as it takes me about 40 minutes to walk that far.

The news here of the killing of those children and teachers in Uvalde has left me with a heavy heart. I have to try and not get really angry as there is nothing I can do. I am a member of the Democratic party and know they have legislation but the Republicans are not going to let it go through. I almost have a hate of the hold the National Rifle Assoc. has on them. It's the money they give Congressmen that has the strangle hold. TX passed bills to allow anyone over 18 to have a weapon without a permit, without training. They ignored law enforcement asking them not to do that.

Down off my soap box. Thanks for stopping in.

Do you ever have one of those days you aren't really sure what day it is?  I do that a lot now as so much is the same. Get up, feed cats, get medications out, eat breakfast, ready the coffee pot. Set Wil's cereal and bowl out for later. Watch some of the news, maybe go color, get dressed.

Seldom do I have plans for a day unless there are doctor appointments. Church is now in front of the computer. Groceries are ordered online for the next day delivery. Shopping online is time consuming as so many items are out of stock. I'm blessed I don't have to worry about baby formula. That issue got me to remembering, we made our own formula. Pet milk and Karo into sterilized glass bottles and then rubber nipples.  Those were the years of cloth diapers too. I'm so glad we got a washer and I no longer had to go to the laundromat down the street. I can't remember how much laundromat cost then.

The Veterans Administration now has respite care for Wil and forget the name of the other program that they send someone out to assist him with shower and shave. I was glad to get that as Saturday nights were often a struggle to get him in the shower and he was only in long enough to get wet and he never used his wash cloth. Luckily he will now sit on the shower bench and that makes it easier for Evelyn. She said today she shaved him while he sat there.

I checked out a care place down the street but have no intention of leaving him there. The lounge is all recliners, filthy cloth. Why the owner didn't purchase vinyl recliners I don't know, I'm sure there are some on the market. They had a wall tv and a pool table in that room. Clients sleeping in those chairs that were side by side.

They gave me another address but I just haven't gotten out to find it. Respite is covering the days I have doctor appointments but you only get two a month. That's why I need to check the other care place.

On the advice of a friend and even the pastor, I closed Carissa's Fidelity accounts and put the money in the Savings account and one of the checks I think I put in the Estate account. Don't know at the moment as my brain is at rest today.

Miss Kitty and Mr. Grey are keeping my house decorated with cat hair. They play every morning and night and sleep during the day. Of course toys find their way around the house. Miss Kitty will carry some. Guess that is left over from having kittens. I wonder if the kittens survived? We never saw any and she only weighed 3 lbs. when they sterilized her. She may be 5 lbs. now.

I've had to buy special cat food for Mr. Grey as he got that dreaded male cat crystals and cost me a couple trips to the vet as I couldn't give him his medicine so I had to board him and let the vet do it. He weighs 11lbs. 4 oz. and I was just lucky I got him crated to go to the vet.  My balance is touchy still.

I don't think I have made mention my younger sister died of COVID in Nov. 2020 and I just learned about it last year after Carissa died! That leaves only my brother who has not talked to me since mom died. The lawyer for Patty's estate has been sending me legal papers so they can get her estate settled. Ohio would not let brother be executor as he lives in PA. So any money will end up in lawyers, appraiser, realtor. He had her cremated so if he hadn't paid that money will go there too. I also learned she was in a long term care facility. She loved her alcohol, it probably took a toll.  Oh and of course no Will was found.
