Nothing Is The Same

As expected, nothing is the same around this house.  There's no routine any more because it was all centered around my kid.  I'm wandering around aimlessly, not the least bit interested in anything.  If there was a human around, it might be easier, but as I said, Cooper stuck with me longer than the husband. 

Kitters tries to help I suppose, but the cat hair is epic.  This is one brushing worth and she gets brushed several times a day.  What's up with that?  Chef Patty used to tell me about the cat hair from their two, but I never noticed.  THIS is just ridiculous!!

So now you will be inundated with CAT pictures.  The coffee table is apparently not comfortable enough.  If there is something on the table, she's lying on it.

I now have to put Cooper's blankets on everything to keep cat hair off the quilts and the chairs.  

This is the morning gopher hunt.  Lizards come later when they sit out in the sun to warm up.  By the way, I found a lizard tail in the spare bathroom yesterday, so be careful where you step.  No telling where the rest of him is.

I've really not been eating much.  There's no one to share little pieces of chicken with while I eat BLT tacos.

The solar cleaning guy showed up just before I left for accounting work.  Luckily he can reach them from the ground with his automatic scrubbing machine.  I have to admit, these panels have saved me a lot of money!!  At this point it is about $15,000 in three years.  Not bad!!

All clean and shiny!  There's another set of panels on the side of the garage.  

Accounting was the usual nightmare.  I keep telling my replacement to double check the account number every time.  She did not, and kept putting expenses in the wrong account, so when we went to reconcile against the bank statement, nothing was there.  That wasted quite of bit of time searching for what we knew she had added.  Putting in the wrong date didn't help either.  It was a long four hours before I got home.  

I would have given anything to see this face when I got here, but it was not to be.  

I'm taking off in the van this morning, heading North for just one night.  It will give me at least two more starts on the dumb thing while I visit with Cyndae.  I'm not sure this is going to help since I'm not really in the mood to do anything, but I guess it's worth a shot.  

I'll let you know how it goes ......................

Thank you everyone for hanging in there with me.  I appreciate it so very much!
