Hi everyone! I am working on setting up and scheduling jobs that have to be run at the beginning of each month. Briggs is at the vet again. I think he needs more steroids. Even one of the side effects (increased appetite) will help him. He is on his way to becoming a hairless cat, which would be ok if his DNA coded for that, but it does not.
While DD17 is away, I have planned a massive PUPA in my house. I started with the most annoying first. The hallway had become crowded to the point it was hard to get in an out of the door when I carried cat crates or groceries. It is beautifully empty and the laundry room door is repaired and rehung. The newly painted closet door is also rehung. I have not decided what tonight's focus will be. Maybe kitchen tables. I am deliberately not cleaning, that is scheduled after the PUPA. I also have to practice dance for the performance Friday. I can remember the dance, just need to work on timing.
LadyMaverick: I doubt that intermittent fasting is a good idea for kids. Strongly recommend a discussion with their physician.
CathyS and anyone who would like to exclude sites from web searches:

It will not exclude the sponsored links at the top, but will from the real results.
<Rant alert>
I had a weird conversation with my mother, in the middle of things, she said, "Have you closed your closet door?" Huh? She knows that I leave one of the MBR closets open. She proceeded to harangue me for 10 minutes about how I have to keep the cats out, put a brick in front of the closets so they can't get them open, train them better, not allow fur on my things, and close the closet door! I tried to explain that they have moved heavy objects and anything large enough to deter them would be a pain for me, the door is broken and is hard to move whether you want to open or close, it is ok if they shed on the cat towels, and I have used this system for years. Oh the horror! What in the blazes brought that on? I realized I could have lied, but didn't think fast enough, I was too shocked. Of course, if I pretended the closet was closed, I would have probably gotten the dusting lecture instead.
I was probably still in shock from the conversation with the xBFF, who suggested I buy the camper from my x (the one my car cannot tow easily), keep it in my yard, and instead of saving for a new camper, buy a NEW CAR instead. What the phooey? I've known for some time she values them more than me, but to seriously suggest I plan a major purchase to allow the x to rid himself of a camper so the other woman can replace it with something she likes better? xBFF also regards my 21 years of marriage as training so the x can be happy with the other woman. After about 3 years, she has finally noticed she sees less of me, but hasn't a clue why.
