New Year
Do I try to keep up? I have a new paper journal to write in and forgot where I used it last. Just found it this morning when showing the new caregiver the type of razor I use. It was in the coloring room. So I'm 19 days behind.
Couple days ago I took trash out and didn't notice how cold it was. Had a jacket on. So I tossed clothes in the washer. Mistake, water lines may have been OK but the drain wasn't. Quickly shut the washer off and grabbed an old mattress pad and window drape to stop the river as I grabbed a broom and opened the back door. Knew Missy was in the garage but didn't figure she would come down from the 'penthouse'. She didn't.
Then the question came do I start it up again when temp hit 40 degrees outside. Went out to get the drape but the mattress pad was frozen to the patio. That meant search for something else in case. Got Wil his supper and I sat with a bowl of cereal close to the door. The washer doesn't pick up where it stopped it started all over. Give me the days you could manually control the washer.
Lady here for Wil could not shave his upper lip but she gave me the name of a product like the old Nair for women's legs. I will need to go to Wal Mart and look for it, they still haven't delivered part of my last order. Plus they cancelled part of it so I really hate using their online. I'm waiting for a tape to put on furniture to stop cat scratching. To arrive 21st.
Missy will use the logs but she uses anything she wants too. lol She was in here the other day and I never heard the plant hit the floor. It was the Lucky Bamboo Carissa gave me. I have nothing else to put it in and no where else to set it. Consider it wasn't lucky for me. I have another one Steve gave me one day with fake phalenopsis. Didn't realize that was fake at first, nor did he. Local grocery selling them and you basically are paying for the container. lol Haven't seen Missy near it.
Gotta run.

Mary there is just no way I could afford that utility bill! I fussed about a water bill that was high due to our toilet. Once I got that fixed I sent the bill so they could give me an adjustment which I don't think they did.
How’re you Bonnie? We’re finally getting some rain. It’s chilly but not like elsewhere. I’m glad we don’t live where it’s really cold. Our energy bill was $700. Last month so we bundled up and lowered the thermostat. It’s cold in this old house. Apparently it’s what a lot of old and young are doing to offset the cost of energy. There’s a lot of folks getting solar panels and still paying a lot. On the other hand keeping the thermostat turned down is supposedly healthier. That’s encouraging. Take care.
Aja I had wax paper on the hassock, kept her away. Aluminum foil on dinning room chairs after I caught Mr.Grey at a couple of them. Then I ordered sticky stuff from Amazon. She still doesn't go near the hassock but the recliner she steps beside the sheets where there is none. lol But she only scratches there to get my attention...food.
You might try reynolds wrap (more than 1 layer) on planters/vases. I catsit my sons kitten that was a wild thing clawing my planters that had live flowers blooming. Little Tigger hated the wrap & quit attacking the large planters. I moved the more delicate ones to the bay window. I put layers of wrap on the window seat and she jumped up there once and never went near it again. This is proably a temp solution. Or not.
