I got all 11 of those beautiful kitties returned, after they recuperated from surgery. There has been quite the clean up aftermath, given many of them were huge boys and I held some of them several days in the garage in cages, that now have to be cleaned and taken down. More litter boxes to soak in disinfectant, carriers
Days pass and I don't know what I do. I have gotten down to Tried and True for a beverage, feeling horrible. My fate may be for a short life. I can't see this ending in a good way.

Like I said in my last post, I took 11 cats to be fixed yesterday. Some of them were massive boys. Tux, for instance, a porch stray, once owned obviously, but living and being fed on a Lebanon porch. Now this big boy (over 12 lbs) is fixed. Tux, from Lebanon I'd trapped four more at the Griggs colony. They turned

Saturday I drove two hours down to a funeral for my brother's mother in law. I didn't know her. I may have met her twice a long time ago. She was about 80 I think when she died after a lengthy struggle against cancer, of various sorts. I was late to start, too busy, doing everything for everyone else, as usual

I'm doing a lazy cat round up again for Monday. I have ten reservations Monday but those are the last until January. This time, its a colony in Salem at an apartment complex. But the couple involved are trapping the cats themselves and even bring them down here after they trap another. Talk about easy. I just loan

Week 48 in my 2018 #housewife #bulletjournal #planner. Did a little late fall gardening this week. I ripped out a tiny shrub that I have always disliked and replaced it with some hens and chicks that my mom gave me. Mom originally got hers from Dad's mom's garden, so now I have some of the old farm at my house. 🌱 I also

I took Willy home. Along with Luke and Sweetie, the two I had trapped that needed fixed. Willy's wound, where his eye had been removed, had healed nicely. You wanted to see the Pirate ship on the property? And now there's a one eyed cat to go along with it. See ya round, Willy.
Week 47 in my 2018 #housewife #bulletjournal #planner. Let the craziness of the holiday season begin! 🤪 We had a lovely Thanksgiving with my parents, each of us naming those things for which we are most thankful. 🙏 And then we got up very early on Black Friday to greedily acquire the most stuff for the least money. It
That's always a good thing. To have nine more fixed cats in the valley, as opposed to nine unfixed cats. I drove up with them slow this morning. Dense fog helped take the pressure off my slower than normal driving (you're only supposed to go about 50 on a donut). Most people were driving slower than usual in that. E

I came home last night, after getting some groceries. It was after dark and as I approached my driveway about to turn in, I became distracted. I saw at the end of the block, flashlights, and two people in the yard of a disabled man. Immediately I wondered if they were up to no good. This distraction made me turn a bit

I got a call. Isn't that how most of my stories begin. The woman had to remind me who she was. I didn't deal with her last April, you see. I dealt then with someone else, who is now gone from the property in question. But I thought I trapped this colony she was calling about long before last April. But my records d
