My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

Tomorrow the hottest days on record will arrive here. The heatdome (new words first polar vortex, the opposite a spread of 100c at my house) has already broken records all over B.C. The heat will stay extreme another day and then a cooling trend starts to develop over the next few days. So they say, sometimes they are wrong. I do believe the heat will come I have seen the evidence of that already. Today 37 tomorrow 44 then 42.
I have moved me and the kittens down one floor it is a little cooler. My USB-powered fan makes up for the rest. Today I will finish building the kitten run. They will be at floor level where it is the coolest. Just need to make sure all the paint is dry. Then line it with cardboard add water and food bowls. And a litter box, their first one.
10:00 AM its already 24 inside my new bedroom. Really my old living room. My couch for a bed.when the plus 44 arrives tomorrow. I am guessing it will reach over 30 in here.
The kitten run is function and being tested by the 5 new kittens.
Lined with carboard a smal litter box, water and food. I am waiting to see if it escape proof.
