I did call. She agreed I bring their tall litterboxes

I have to get the timing right with lunch today. They’re having a “Christmas in July” thing here, which includes a so-called entertainer singing “all the old favourites“. That would be fine if these “entertainers” weren’t always so loud. It stresses me out completely to be in my own unit, with earplugs in, and still not be able to escape the noise. I don’t care what the music is, I don’t want it imposed on me in my home. So, Mum and I will go out for lunch, which means the local shopping centre - only place with a proper wheelchair accessible toilet in the vicinity. Have to time getting back for the fifteen minute window between the “entertainer“ finishing and Mum’s physio arriving for her exercise session.
I redid the voice model and this is amazing. I don't feel bad about putting this out because Bellamy will never sing this song or record it. So he won't be losing money from it. There are a couple of hiccups, but that's the AI. The real Bellamy could do this even better. I wish he would

Won't it just though??? About 1200-1300 books here currentIy.Moving you will be fun!
I have more bookshelves scattered around the house. Some are dedicated to school books, reference materials, school supplies, juvenile fiction, etc. The kids each have a bookshelf. Truthfully I could use another 2 for myself. Its so hard to let go of good books! But at least my kindle has helped me tone things down.
I have a KindIe, but I mostIy use it to preview new authors, or to get stuff I onIy expect to read once. If I'm going to re-read, I want print, because I aIways worry having the KindIe in the bath tub with me, and KindIes are just not that huggabIe. YES, I am a book-hugger!

I swear Chicken Little is one of the, if not the worst Disney movie ever made and I don't understand why the toddler loves it so much.

Can you guys help me find the shaver they use at the vet? They shaved the poop off Maggie's long hair on her butt for me. But I can't keep running to the vet. I think I need one with a cord, because rechargeable things are never strong enough. The one at the vet looked like kinda a round stick? I don't think it had a brush or comb on the end. Dad tried to use his shaver for humans, but it wasn't powerful enough to cut through Maggie's hair. So we need one for cats I think.

This is what I use, except mine is a 5 speed but a 2 speed would be more than enough for what you'd need.

The items towards the bottom of the page that are comparable, I haven't used all of them but they probably all would work.
All you would need is a #10 blade, which is included. It takes it short, but anything longer has wider spaced teeth and can be more dangerous working on a cat (it's very easy to cut them with a blade that has wider spaced teeth.)

Thanks. But $200?! That's not gonna happen! I'll try to find something similar, but cheaper. The one at the vet was round like that, but I think it was round on the end too, without the comb part.
I bet if you called your vet and asked for info on the shaver they use they would be happy to give it to you.
Our central air conditioning motor went out on Mon, hopefully getting fixed later today. Hottest stretch of humidity and temperature so far this year. Landlord brought over 2 small AC window units. We have one upstairs and one downstairs and are running a total of 3 ceiling fans, 3 standing fans, three 9" desktop fans and 5 larger desktop fans just to keep it bearable. Didn't even have to go buy any fans! Didn't realize I had so many til I started checking the basement & closets. Gypsys holding up just fine during all this. If she doesn't have one of the hooman fans on her she has one of the small usb fans that got us through the 4 day power outage. She also has cooling mats but is bummed cause its too humid to take her out. Her hair has grown back from the Revolution but don't know what to use for flea treatment for her.
11 minutes ago, just going to get worse.

Yuck that’s awful timing. Even with central air I’m keeping our windows covered today. I don’t like it; but DH said our next electric bill is pretty high so whatever helps. He’s been wanting the house cooler than we used to keep it; but I don’t blame him working in the heat all day. 
Do you have any cooling cloths? We have several Mission Cooling Cloths and they do help! (Less so in high humidity; but still helpful.) DH has other things from them too like arm and leg covers. He carries extra water to help keep them damp.

began work on organizing my book shelves and had to stop cause i was getting tired
I found a fun looking science curriculum for my kids but I need to choose between Biology, Chemistry and Physics. DD is getting old enough that I need to consider which one or two we want to do before she has to do levels that will be on a high school transcript sent to colleges. I know DS would LOVE the physics one; but he's younger so he could do it next year. I'm leaning towards Chemistry this year and then Biology. But the way the ages are set up on it; it might be a little TOO simple for DD being older. They learn from reading real books and doing science experiments. It looks so fun! And a tad expensive for having them each do different kits.
Why not let her decide? If she know's what she wants to do as a career, the decision will be easier. (but if she chooses a science degree, she will need Calculus) (just saying)
Oh fun, I've got the first cold I've had in years. At least that sore throat isn't Covid, I tested negative.

Ask your vet if they have any recommendations, they might have customers who use certain types of clippers at home for their own cats that they've told the vet about and can pass it along to you.
And what's sad, is $200 for that set of clippers is a GREAT price. I can't tell you what we spend on clippers, shearers, and blades, not to mention shampoos etc. That's why pet grooming prices are so high.

I'm right there with you. Woke up to no AC. The emergency maintenance number is not answering. I THINK It is the thermostat, which is totaIIy dead. DID check the breakers, they are good. The office is onIy open Mon-Thurs, so no one there tomorrow. IF I don't hear back from maintenance tonight, wiII caII the home office in Raleigh in the AM. I hate to do that, but I do NOT want to go aII weekend with no AC, and iffy heart and Iungs!
