Hubby bought a french door fidge this morning from CostCo. It's beside the 'old' letting the refrigerant get redistributed.
Should be nice to have a bigger freezer too.

I’m trying not to loose my mind over all these negative comments on my Facebook page about my cat being happier living outside than in my house. How would they like it if I told them to leave their cats or dogs outside because they are happier out there!? And it’s not a stranger saying this stuff it’s my own brother and then he tried to turn what he said around by telling me I’m the one who said it! OMG
People have so many opinions on what is the best way to have a pet. In the end it’s a balance between safety and enrichment. Olive would love to be an indoor/outdoor kitty until she was eaten by a coyote. She also doesn’t remember her flea allergy. Obviously you are best equipped to determine your kitty’s wellbeing and the best environment. They don’t know anything, although it’s hard not to be bothered by the comments.
Had our first doggie training session today! The trainer came to the house and stayed 2 hours even though we were scheduled for 1. She was amazing, definitely we learned a lot in how to better handle the crazy pup.
And Casey is completely tired from the whole thing, she has been a sleepy pup.

facebook is full of negative idiots and i have to make myself take breaks from it in order to stay sane ... i have thought about getting rid of facebook all together
Saw my Occupational Therapist for the first time today. What a little dynamo she is! However, she is going to talk to her husband about building a platform for my washer/dryer (one machine does both) so that I don't have to bend to load and unload. And next trip, we will take my bedroom and utility closet doors off to make an easier path for me. They'll get stored in the office. She's bringing carpet tape to secure the edges of the one area rug in my living room, too. That will help a LOT!
She sounds amazing!! and very clever
Allie is a bit ridiculous. She has decided that she won't take medicine. I got her some homeopathic cold medicine. It seems to help a little bit and it's the only thing safe at her age.
My neighbor has to come over and help me hold her down and give her a couple drops at a time while blowing in her face and rubbing her throat or she spits it out. It doesn't even taste bad! She started doing it with tylenol and ibuprofen ages ago. The only thing she'll take willingly is teething tablets, which just dissolve in her mouth.
It literally takes 2 grown adults to get medicine into a tiny 13 month old baby. I feel kinda pathetic.

I was the only person my niece would take medication for. My sister in law had to call me to go down and give my niece her medicine! I was also the one who taught her to take a pill. No one else could do it. She would try but gag and throw up.
I had to be sat on and manhandled with medicine, too. I still won't take liquid medication unless I'm practically dying and desperate. I'm fine with pills, though.
My mom told me I refused breast but would happily take a bottle. Didn't want her boobs in my mouth I guess.
Close to two days since I picked up my mom’s cat, Lola. No aggressive behavior from her so far, just hiding (in her safe room ) and barely eating. Unsurprisingly Willow has been spooked out by something strange going on in the house, but doesn’t seem to know it’s another cat and went on a 24 hour hiding and hunger strike. Today though she is back out of hiding and feeling calmer. Lola is 9, Willow is 11, so I am expecting this to take some time.

Best backrest there is
Have to vent, so if you are having a bad day or like me barely keeping it together you might want to skip. What is wrong with these people? I do give off a social worker/therapist vibe but still if you know that someone has just experienced a significant loss, would you really think they want to hear about all of your stuff? My day today:
1. Dementia auntie, my mother’s sister called to request I come clean her carpet right away because she cut herself and bled on it.
2. My half brother called to complain that he lost his job because his mom didn’t notify his work that he was in jail.
3. His half sister (on his moms side) texted me that since the brother was no longer living with his mother she was feeling overwhelmed with caring for her mom.
4. My deceased step mother’s sister called to tell me all about her issues with her nephew and to give me lengthy details on her health issues.
I am not answering the phone tomorrow.

I’m in my usual spot on bubbles watch again tonight! Hopefully this will all be over soon. 6 weeks now. Send good vibes that tonight is the night we finally catch her. Thanks.

Good idea. Maybe Sunday too.
Some people just can’t seem to think about anyone but themselves.

The powers that be have decided breastfeeding has been going too easily for me lately. Not only has a certain someone discovered the joy of digging in her razor sharp claws while feeding, I got a blocked duct yesterday, was confident I'd worked it out, but it's back with even more of a vengeance today. I've upped my sunflower lecithin, tried the haakaa and epsom salt trick, and also did some dangle feeding. No dice. Hopefully I can get it or enough milk will build up behind it to push it out before I end up with mastitis. 
But I'm pretty miserable for now.
