Sorry about the bad weather, sidestep. Please stay safe. Good job on getting trash out to curb and brushing/cuddling avatar kitty. I'm busy around the apartment today, trying to get some things done. I have some motivation, so that's good. Stopping now to eat some lunch.

sidestep, I didn't see the reply before the one I responded to. I am so sorry about your kitty! 19 years is a long time, but it's never enough. I'm sending you hugs and just want you to know how much I care. Please be gentle with yourself in the coming days and weeks.

Cheering you on sidestep Stay hydrated and take care of your back. Two and a half inches is alot of rain but hopefully it cools things off and makes the weeding easier.
