Today my friend works at TNR shelter so I am going to do some Spring cleaning inside the house. Time to switch out most of the Winter clothes for Spring clothes as temps slowly warm up.

The work in the garage has been very hard on my hands, knees and back so it is good to have some rest from that heavy work for a few days.

4699 steps yesterday so getting back to my goal and kind of surprised at my total but I did laundry so a bit more walking.
I have an eye appointment this morning so may have my walking interrupted.

Rather quiet day. Switching clothes and doing laundries of things that are getting put away for the season. Not sure what is on agenda for garage today as it is drizzly and cooler. Plus my friend usually needs a day to recoup from her day at the TRN. Still a lot to be done in the house so I'm sure I'll find things to do...

3763 steps yesterday.  Not quite to my 4000 step goal but I did spend about 1 1/2 hours at the eye appointment so good enough.

I am using the public transport a lot these days. That gives me an opportunity to walk/climb everywhere. Most times I opt for stairs even when escalators are available. Usually I clock 6-7k everyday, and then add about 2k for the steps at home when the phone is not with me.

Damp rainy weather is slowing us down on cat home painting, too humid. The LED overhead shop lights arrive today so if they come early enough, that may be today's project.They will make the painting much easier once installed. The time off has really helped my aches and pains get better. But now, I'd like to see it done so we can start the trapping again once the weather clears up, and hopefully catch all the ones that slipped by last time.

Drizzled all day, so not good for painting. Lights didn't arrive, so no installing them. Just a tiny grocery run and load of laundry.

I'm hoping the lights get here early enough that we can at least do that today...

Drizzled all day. I did some sanding of window sills in garage. Lights arrived late afternoon so my friend will install today. Spent a lot of time shopping online for cat trees/scratchers for the garage. Man are the trees expensive for a decent one!  And I want a couple at least! Made no decisions.

Have to go out today to pick up my taxes at H&R Block. Glad to have that done!

Hopefully did last of refreshing kitties' box shelters with new straw on front and side porch. Hoping weather will improve and not be as wet...

Run to town for taxes and quick grocery store was only other activity. This darn dampness is settling in my bones and I am achey all over again. Today is going to be a rest day if possible.

Lights look great! See in Chit Chat. I'll probably have to resize pix first...

Yeah, I just took it easy and probably am going to do the same today.  I woke up at 3:00 AM and could not go back to sleep so got up and it is probably going to be nap time later.  ~slp~  ~slp~

Kind of a lazy day. I did laundry and puttered a bit tiding cat shelters outside. Then again looked for cat trees on Amazon. So many choices, so many bad reviews....decisions, decisions. One company even showed how to "upcycle the box" to help the planet. OK.....

So I put their pattern to work on a Chewy box and it is kind of neat.

You cannot view this attachment.

I put a cut up blanket inside to cuddle. I will wait until it is dry outside to see if the cats like it. Mama Millie so far is not impressed... But I think some of the outside ones will really like it. The flat part of the roof is open space that is why I covered it with plastic. So they even have a skylight!! This would be a Summer house...LOL
