I’m sooo lucky! I get to clean six boxes in the house on a daily basis. I have six more in the barn that I do every other day. I take enough food and water out to the barn every other day that I can skip a day and give myself a bit of a break that way - it takes an hour to take care of everyone out there as there are various feeding stations in different rooms. Not everyone gets along so we try to accommodate that. S Have I mentioned I’m a dog person? Actually, that we were all dog people when we arrived here? We came with my German Shepherd and hubby’s cross black lab, both of whom passed a few years back. Our kids are still dog people and can’t figure out what we’re doing with all these cats! 😹😹 I’m dying to get another dog, but it will have to be a young puppy - I want him to be smaller than the kitties starting out. And I really want another Shepherd. Other than my husband’s dog, I’ve never had anything else and his dog was not a good advertisement for getting something other than a Shepherd. He had some mental issues... Poor baby, but he just sort of snapped!

Yeah, my meds do double duty for anxiety and depression. I’m so glad for you that your anxiety has lessened! I know what it’s like to have panic attack after panic attack. That’s part of the reason I’m off work. It’s a lot better now than it was, but it’s still not great as I go through periods where I still can’t make myself leave home. Part of it was persecution there - jealousy rears it’s ugly head again! - which is somewhat better since the offending person has since retired. But I’m still pressing to work from home. I could work more hours that way and on my own schedule, which can be wonky!

You’re also a good friend - and good person, but that’s just a Canadian thing 😉😉 - this place would be so much less without you!
