Recouperating


Pretty simple day.

I slept in.

After I got up and had some breakfast, I groomed Etsy in an effort to get some of her undercoat out.  The warmer weather is a little difficult for her on some of our walks.  While I could not find the Furminator S and K gave us, C showed me their own, so I'll use that tomorrow on Etsy.


Grace, the territorial, unpredictable, and elusive cat was surprisingly nice to me this morning.  I let her pet herself, effectively.  I didn't want to be deceived into thinking I could treat her like a normal cat.  For those who don't know this cat, she's pretty crabby.  Generally, if you leave her alone, she'll leave you alone.  She definitely has a personal space zone best not breached.  FYI, I was wearing shorts and squatting on the floor in this video.  Seeing it again, it surprisingly looks like I have no pants on.  I assure you this was not the case.



I also got a picture of the final cat: Barn Cat.  This is the sixth and final cat on the premises.  She also has it totally made: gets to go out whenever, gets let in whenever, gets to have adventure, gets to have a roof over her head, always has a meal, gets to be petted whenever...pretty much all the perks and all the freedom.  If I was ever reincarnated into an animal, I would want that cat's life.



Did more moving paperwork...it never seems to end.  I'll have bills to go through tomorrow.

We found the telescope and tripod today.  We were only able to test it out today, as there was cloud cover periodically tonight.  There are still a few more chances to look at those planets again in the next several days.

I was introduced to the night golf ball.  It glows when hit hard.  I had never encountered that technology before: energy of mechanical force stored and slowly released in the form of light.  Pretty cool!  It also means that you would get to see the lit ball fly through the air at night after hitting it.  I'm pretty excited to try it sometime.

I had a really big spaghetti dinner tonight that C generously made.  I also fed the dogs and cats for the first time today.  I neglected to add eggs to the dog food, so they didn't eat much until that was added.  I'll remember that next time.

I did go through a little german today, but I ended up taking a siesta for a few hours this afternoon.  I was really not very productive today.  Tomorow, I plan on hitting the german a little harder.

On the Georgia Front, my wife spent most of today waiting around to file paperwork.  She got to turn in her training gear today, so that was a good weight off of her shoulders.  She was sad to see that rifle go, though. Here she is getting ready to turn in her gear (in a bag on her lap in front of her).


PT has been cancelled tomorrow due to weather, so she gets to do more PT on her own.  Just a few more days, and we get to see each other again!
