There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
William Shakespeare
Another day at the farm. Fed cats, made coffee, checked the temps in the house. My room 6, the fire room 1. I lit a fire in there for the second day. The chimney to stove-pipe is not secured and more important not smoking. The smoke is going where it is supposed to.
I burned just paper garbage that needed burning. I raised the temp in there 5 degrees before I left.I needed to do a lot of things today, but could not. My back pain migrated to kidney pain. The clinic called 3 weeks after the CT Scan to tell me I needed to come in.
I could not, I can not do my heater install, or stand for more than 5 minutes. My only option is bed and hope things would be better in a couple of days.
The important stuff is done. Cats fed, me fed, hot coffee made. I did knock the melita over a couple of times. It does not fit my cup. I already envisioned a wooden holder for the melita. That will not happen today. Problem right now again, kidney pain. At sometime today I have to carry two water jugs in from the cold garage, one more night out there they will freeze. I have a heavy litter box that needs doing. I left that one full so my dying cat could use it. She has passed now, so the box can be emptied and refilled with clean pellets.
That’s all for now. I am going to enjoy my still hot coffee. Late in theday water jugs were moved, they were starting to freeze. There is a feral cat in my garage. I stepped in the proof earlier. No idea how I’m going to get him out. He managed to get the lid off of one of the water jugs. I will have to close all the windows of the van before it figures out I have cat food stored in there.
Tonight I watch “The good, bad and ugly.”
And yes I do have cats named Tuco, angeleyes and blondie.
