The Mega Pawsitive Fundraiser

Apparently our new neighbors are keeping an eye on pets. She came over this morning to tell us Mowgli had gotten out and was sitting in her yard crying. It wasn't him, but another black cat that lives a few blocks over and sometimes wanders over here. Her owner hadn't gone to work yet and came and got her.

That's a lovely plant mama africa

I had a bit of spare time this afternoon so went out to do some raking in the cat's enclosure. Found 3 baby maple trees I didn't know we had.

I have a roast with carrots and potatoes going in the crockpot. It's gonna be delicious. Pot roast is one of my favorite meals and it's so easy to make. I actually bought a few roasts a couple weeks ago because they were on sale for $3.99 a pound. I made room in the freezer because it was such a great deal!

Woke up on time and got to work on time. Hard for me to get going in the morning. AND Honeybee slept across my belly last night in the middle of the night...love waking up to her sleeping on me...zzzzzz

One of the best perks of being owned by a cat!

Sometimes the clutter of modern life can be a bit overwhelming. Areas like closets or the pantry, or sometimes even a hallway, can seem to overflow with packages and recycling and, well...stuff. In a world where perfectly organized Pinterest pantries are plastered over the internet, it can be a little discouraging to try and keep up with that level of organization.
Unless you have cats. Then, half-empty packages or empty cardboard boxes are AWESOME and consistently bring a smile to your face:

I'll gobble them up and go back for more.​

Over here, it's cloudy with a chance of rain.... But in the spirit of being positive, my car needs a wash!

DH and I spent the afternoon preparing for winter, e.g. covering the patio furniture, cutting back perennials, moving all the planters/flower pots, and filling up the shed with garden ornaments. We didn't mind one bit because we had a fluffy four-legged voyeur with whiskers intently watching us from the patio door.

Just finished my yoga practice. I was able to go up into a headstand and back down again really slowly today, with control rather than just falling out of it.

I guess all the practice is starting to pay off.

That's impressive! I did some yoga for a while, but I wasn't nearly that advanced. I've always been more into running.

Charlie loves the texture of a yoga mat. He thinks it's a horizontal scratcher.

Oh, mine do too! They have two yoga mats of their own, one mounted to the wall and one flat on the floor. I always give my mats a squirt of lemon scented anti-scratch liquid before I start my practice. It's the only way I can keep them off.

I got a really sweet, handwritten letter from a friend today! Like...on paper! In the mail! From a MILLENNIAL!

She's a much younger social media loving, adorable and ambitious kid who I became close to when we worked together at my former job. Although I don't get to see her very often, she's had a rough year or so. Her letter outlined the impact I've had on her life in this transition period, and thanking me for my support and advice. Although I don't know that I've received a letter in quite a while, and I certainly never expected any kind of appreciation for throwing my two cents into a discussion, I was really taken aback by this sweet gesture. It was so encouraging and humbling! It really inspired me to let people in my life know just how much of a positive impact they've made, because it certainly feels special to be on the receiving end of that type of recognition!

I received a message from my sister about her youngest son; he is actually studying to become a professional actor. It has been a struggle so far, but recently he got a splendid offer to act in a movie. I was moved to tears when I heard that his continuous dedication finally pays off. I’m so proud of this boy !!!

Spreading some more pawsitivity around this morning:-

 

[Anne]

I have some very positive news to share!

TCS has a bunch of new smilies!


Including a bunch of new cat ones!

 

[Norachan]

Very happy about the new smilies.

I worked with kindergarten kids this afternoon. It was a lovely day so we took them to the park to kick a football around until they were all poopered out. A few of them fell asleep at story time.

 

[mservant]

Positive thing for today is that I have time and energy for TCS despite it being my first day back at work after a 10 day holiday. And I finally got a chance to catch up on this thread. So, why not use some new smilies to celebrate? Reason I was so busy was my niece lives in Australia but came back to the UK to get married last weekend. Lots and lots of partying and celebrating been going on here.
I think this is one of my favourite smilies ever, someone seems to have used Mouse as the model.
