There Are FIVE
Diane and Beth joined us on the walk by phone again. Diane has an appointment to show Island Royale later today, we shall see if these people are just lookers or buyers. Ruth brought her dog and when we got to Joan's house, her black cat took one look at Ruth's dog and scurried half way up a tree. From where we were she looked like a small black bear. The picture is zoomed in so you can see she is a cat not a bear.
After the walk I fed the mama cat a can of solid white tuna, and that was to get her out of the box so I could clean up the birthing area. She smelled the tuna and jumped right out of the box.
When she realized I was moving the kittens though she jumped right back in. At least I could see that she has 5 kittens. I was able to pick up 2 of the kittens before she jumped inside.
The top box was taken off, the kittens moved to the front and a clean towel put down.
I asked Mark to help take the vacuum to the barn and haul it upstairs, he was willing but not right then. He just wanted to finish something on his phone.
I worked on the living area of the barn while waiting for him to arrive. When he did he was put right to work up on a ladder to fix the light.
He wasn't able to get that light back in position and is going to buy a box to mount it on. Instead he worked on the game room light. That just needed to be plugged in again.
It takes that 8 foot ladder but isn't too hard and as soon as it is plugged in the light over the batting cage shines.
I quit cleaning at 2:30 pm, went home heated up some chili for our lunch then left for Sam's club. The barn needed more paper towels for the downstairs bathrooms, Mark wanted lemons, I picked up 2 chickens, one for Joan and one for us then drove to Aldi and bought eggs, milk, chicken stock, apples, celery, sweet potato casserole and stuffing mix. Some of that is for our Thanksgiving, thought I get a jump start on that. Our email is not working but Mark said there was a report on the news about that. Good to know it is not just our computer that isn't working. If anyone was trying to email us we will not be able to access that until Outlook is back up and running. I have a new doctor appointment Tuesday afternoon and had to fill out page after page using my phone. That took hours as I had to keep looking things up and the phone kept going dark. 3 of the questions I tried to skip but each time I tried an error message would come up with the words, must fill out, the first was what are my preferred pronouns, the second was what gender do I prefer to go by and the last was what was my sexual preference. WHY WOULD THEY ASK SUCH STUPID QUESTIONS, none of that is any of their business. The first 2 I could at least put I prefer not to answer but the last didn't give me that option. I checked off box in front of straight. Like I'm on the straight and narrow.
It is now past our bedtime and I can hear Mark snoring.
