Thanks! Just an empty Chewy box, some tape and an exacto knife! I have enough boxes to make a village for summer!! LOL! I will make some though to put in the garage, they won't last outside if it rains on them too much. In the summer, inside the coolers might get a little too warm for them.

I ordered a couple of mats today from Chewy that have a thermal layer in the middle that the cat's body will warm up. If the cats use them they will be good on the concrete floor of the garage. I will be getting some carpet pieces for the floor too at Home Resources.

It is kitten season, and I have seen some "activity" outside so I really want to get the garage finished before they start having more kitties!!

Pretty quiet day. Just puttered around, some Spring cleaning, some seasonal clothing switching, some refreshing cat coolers, and some online looking for cat trees. Nothing too exciting.

My friend worked at home on cutting wood for dividing wall in garage otherwise not much happening here.

4159 steps yesterday.  I woke up around 2:00 AM with sciatica pain and it was pretty intense and still sore this morning so although better I am not expecting to do a lot but it may get better in a while.

Quick run to PO, grocery store and to put gas in car. The rest just chores at home. Today I go for a blood draw to check liver functions to make sure the addition of Metformin and the continued use of Meloxicam aren't messing with the numbers. Then to Tractor Supply for poultry fencing which will be at the very top of divider wall in garage.

Today is TNR day for my friend but Thursday will hopefully be wall assembly and maybe even some painting.

Even with the driving to dr and town I did much better than expected! That Tractor Supply store is huge!! I walked a lot in there! Then in the evening, Millie decided she was going to make a break and go outside. It was late and I kept getting up and calling her to no avail, then just when I had given up (she has been an outside cat for years) and started turning outside lights out at 10:30PM, there she was at the door now ready to come in! She doesn't know how close she came to spending the night outside...or did she???

Today the plan is getting the divider wall up and maybe some painting.

Working in garage, and some clothes organizing inside before that. Pretty achey this morning, but we have to finish painting today.

I am really feeling the work in my hands, back and knees. Pushing through it though as we need to get at least to a point we can contain the cats that are fixed and the newly fixed ones until all are finally done.

2979 steps yesterday.  My BIL had to have some work done by an oral surgeon yesterday and I drove him to a town that was a 1 1/2 hour drive each way and was there about an hour so not much time to walk.  Today I am really sore for some reason so going to probably take it easy.

It was a good day to work, but we were both so sore we took it off, not sure about today either. My hands are really hurting! There always seems to be something that keeps me from scheduling the surgery. Always something to finish first...I really need to just do it!

Only 2979 steps yesterday, just too sore to do a lot and today looks like the same.
My SIL had hand surgery and it really did a good job so I hope you can get it done.

This is definitely going to be the year, I just can't take it anymore! I'm going to call my Ortho on Monday and get a consult. Then once the garage heavy work is done, get the surgery. I just have to do it!!
