Had to go to town.

.

I figured out why the gas shut off before filling my tank. I was down to a dollar and change in my local account. I figured I had best get some money transferred in, so I did. I made it just in time, I think. Banks are closing earlier and Saturday has been cut. Oh, I understand and it is no worry, as long as I know. I put a large chunk in, but I am hoping to not spend more than what is absolutely necessary. Another hundred in food, whatever the shots for Sam cost, and a bit of fuel. I have not been being reimbursed for travel to the V.A. Clinic in Ogden. It sounds like a lot of people are not being reimbursed. If I didn't plan on it, that would be one thing. But when I am told I will get it and then don't, it becomes more of an issue. I may have to contact my congressman. Hey, if they don't have it, fine. But if they are just lousy employees, they need the office cleaned up.

I did a bit of weed whipping when I got back. I needed money in the account for a number of reasons, and by Thursday, so that was a priority. After one shot of weed whipping, I checked on the bed spread, put it in for a bit longer, and then took a break. I'm still officially on a break and will probably take a bit more time on my break. I am already a bit tuckered. I guess even the little chores do add up and I have been very busy. One more run at weed whipping, at least or at most. More dishes this evening throughout the evening, another load or two of laundry which should just about be the end of that. I have a basket of clean and folded for which I need to find a more settled place. I really haven't been "together" enough, since moving in, to have everything arranged yet. Normally, as an adult so far, I never got to the point where things started having their set places. Wool socks, just wherever? No, I want to find a particular drawer for them. Same with all my items. Of course, once I have a place, I then need to put them there like clockwork. Anyway, bits and pieces, but definitely moving forward and not just slowing how fast I fall behind.

Not feeding wet food actually has the kittens being really nice. They are SO transparent. Hey, they don't intend to be tricky. But little do they know, I like having them around more. Nothing ever quite works as planned. I forgot to get the trash out, but it is quite a small amount. However, I also forgot the complete change of kitty litter. That has to be done every week. Sassy is less nasty, though that still comes and goes. Even without that, those boxes simply stink. I have heard that one cat box per cat plus an extra box is the way to go. The next time I am in town I may get another box. It's a lot more work but if it pays off in odor control, until I can afford an automatic box, I may go with it.

Drats! I was going to thaw a chuck roast for my good behavior and work ethic of late. Ah well, I will thaw it overnight for tomorrow. Cheese, brots, or sardines tonight, I guess. Hmm, maybe if I go in for the extra litter box I might grab something a little tastier. While my account is drawn down, I usually keep a few coin in my pocket. Enough to last me a few days just on wallet living if need be. Later.

Update: Despite not being sure, I did finish the weed whipping. It took three work periods and some hefty rest periods. Tomorrow, if I am able, I will get the mowing started. First High, then low, so that may take a few days. After that, raking. Actually, I think once I get to low cutting, I will mow and rake in smaller sections and all at once, mostly. I do believe I will make a trip to town yet tonight. An extra litter box might be worth it, but food I don't have to cook and something warm and different will definitely make the trip worth the hassle. Plus, I can get out and enjoy it. Driving is a pleasure, a leisure activity, now, again. I managed to call my lady friend and my mother. My mom was done for the day so she offered a rain check and I took it. I hope she is okay. My lady friend was a bit smarmy, in her typical way while she wakes for work. But it sounds like she is doing well. It's always nice to do a bit of catching up. I'm thinking of sending her a bit of money for a dinner somewhere. She is terrible with money, so even a little bit is a great gift. Well, on to dinner.
