So I got up (I had tried to take a nap). Ron was having so much fun listening to music, singing along, etc. he kept forgetting I told him I had laid down. Rather than yell at him I got up and told him so, then he stopped (rolleyes).
I decided to clean/organize next to my bed between the bed and the wall. I had some soft stuff over there, half an afghan and the yarn for it, etc. I wanted to put my 4 gallon waterer over there, get the cats (and myself) used to it before we leave town.
Better for them to already have known and used it, I figured. I also discovered there was a learning curve on the damn thing and it was very hard to fill, so glad I had time to discover that.
I checked on Ron every hour or so. That seems to work better because he doesn't bother me when I am doing something. I can just get his snack, drink, whatever when I am checking in and not have him yell for me every 5 minutes. Which works when I am manic.
I asked him about the meal tray and he said absolutely not. He said he will not let it happen again and does not want any sort of tray. Well, he's a big boy - but I had given him the food right out of the microwave. I can absolutely let it cool down a couple minutes before I serve it to him and that should end it right there. But I was tired and depressed and I never thought of him getting scalded.
About the cat cage, let me find a photo:
I went through all the stuff next to my bed and of course tossed 90% of it. I needed 2 trash bags. I also got rid of some drywall left from the remodel in 2012! Tossed it all, mostly, and just saved one throw someone gave me a while back.
Then I had to take out all the trash, stuffed the can and took it out (trash day tomorrow), recycle went out because I had a full can of that, etc. Checked on Ron again (leave me alone!) and filled the water thing (a big hassle) about 3/4 and then took it in the bedroom and mounted it on the base. It glugged for a while but looks OK. I just want them to have plenty of water when I'm gone and it was the only place I could put it, not in a travel path, not near a litter box, not in kitchen or bathroom. It is out of the way but accessible.
I will have to unplug the electric water fountains because they run dry 1x a day and will burn up if I leave them unfilled for days. The hope is to get the cats used to "water over there" and then they don't have problems when I unplug the fountains. I still have energy but have run out of cleaning motivation.
Tomorrow I go see my doctor, my aunt will take me. Then I buy her lunch, she is happy with the arrangement. My gut has been better today but all I ate were chips.
Walmart had a chili lime generic frito and it was 92 cents for a bag. I thought that sounded good so I bought a bag when I was shopping. I opened it up today and we tried it. Ron liked it and would probably love his own bag. I liked it but the spicy got me after I had finished eating. I coughed a little and had to drink something but not bad, but it does have a little bite. I am looking forward to making a modified frito pie with it.
I hate it when people take a recipe and change everything about it. But the traditional frito pie has some things I can't eat: cheese, onions, and peppers. So I will just heat up the chili and put that on the chips.
I won't attempt that today after a headache but the next couple days. I have some chili around. Ron would probably like it too.
I am always trying to get him to get more protein. I don't know what I'm doing for dinner, I hate to eat anything as my gut is finally happy. I have plenty of choices, I made sure of that.
It has worked a lot better to keep Ron at home lately and I am spared the aggravation of bad rides to and from. I am not hungry yet so I won't worry about it.
It got up to 90 today, a little warm in the house but not bad. I put on a little perfume earlier (I never wear it while working), and got sick of it pretty quick. When Ron and I first met I had a horrible time with him because he had all these previous women and every fragrance I liked was a wild sex encounter to him, with another woman. Plus he had allergies pretty bad and a lot of them would trigger an attack. Then working with food I don't think it is professional to wear fragrances because they can transfer to the food products. Better just to "wear" my soap and be done with it.
I am a little tired of the Zest I am using but will use it up before starting on another bar. I don't like to waste things, even soap.
Oh, Mama cat. Not always a good idea to have a litter box right next to my computer chair! Wow. That is eye watering. And aren't you glad you're only reading that?
