What I've Been Doing While Not Blogging


Wow! I haven't posted for a week, have I? Well, it has been uneventful here. We are getting ready to go back to my favorite place in the world... Hawaii. I have been doing what I call my "pre-packing". I search my closet for things I think I should take and hang them all around the room. I try on tops and bottoms together to see if they go. Then I launder, iron, fix hems, or anything else that needs to be done. If something needs to be added, I go shopping. Then I start weeding out the choices. I always try to pack only what fits in my moderate-sized carry-on. Despite my efforts, I always find that I wish I had brought something that didn't make the cut.
I also take some time to worry about my cats. I worry about who will care for them. I worry about having enough food on hand. I buy bigger dishes because I don't want them to run out of food during the day. I have four indoor cats, plus we feed at least eight feral cats every day. Making sure the feral cats have food every day is important because the raccoons come every night and eat any food that remains. The weather could turn wintry while we away, so I prepare the shelters for the feral cats on my deck. Yesterday, we took down the tomato plants and pots to make room for the kitty shelters.


So, not much to blog about, but there it is!

    Now I'm going to worry about your cats! Tell us that you have loving caring cat-feeding people who will keep them going in your absence! And have a lovely holiday yourself.....

    Oh, I do, Rachel. My next door neighbors are two cat-loving ladies (mother and daughter) who will come in every day and make sure everyone is fed and watered and happy. I do the same for them when they go away. Please don't worry.

    Thank you for you good wishes.

    The reason I was worried was the possibility that one of the ladies thought she might have to have knee surgery while we were away. However, it has turned out the surgery won't be that soon.
