I saw a picture of a cat needing a home on Facebook yesterday and private messaged that I was interested. Late morning today I got a call from the owner. After a chat she decided I was the one who should have her baby. 6 years ago a kitten was found in a box freezing on the side of the road in Fernie. It was Christmas Eve so she was named Mistletoe and found a life with Lori in Kimberley. Now Lori has to move and couldn’t find a rental that would let her keep her pets. She had her sister bring Missy to me complete with her own house, litter box, food and dishes, and carrier. It was a compete surprise to me that I was drawn to this cat as I have avoided having ‘real’ pets for years. I lost several I was very attached to and decided it was a pain I could avoid if I didn’t get another. Seems this little one melted my grinch heart. I brought her in and she ran into a corner and hissed at me but over the course of the next few hours she ventured out and is exploring the house. The first two are the pictures that hooked me. The last was in our first few minutes together.
I left her and went to Home Depot to get a spade bit and jigsaw blades because MY SINK ARRIVED! I was amused by what they are selling…
It took me a while and my forearms are sore from the vibrations but I got the holes cut and made sure everything fits. I didn’t plumb it in yet as I want to trim out the new window and finish the back splash before I hook up the tap. I am very thrilled with the way it looks though!
Another character and a bath bomb for the countdown.
The other great thing that arrived today was my CPAP cleaner. a week ago Friday I was at Campbells when a commercial came on featuring William Shatner promoting the brand. I had been thinking about one for a while so I promptly ordered it. I set it up and did a first clean. Better to be safe.
Dr Bonnie announced that the restrictions will be continued until January 8th. This means I, as a single am allowed to pick one or two other to spend time with and they only with me. This will likely be the Campbells as my daughter and her family are 6 just them. I have spent other Christmas’s alone so I Will be ok. Just have to make a plan. Diane has invited me to be with them for dinner. I think i am avoiding committing because it seems so far away yet and I don’t really know what my mood will be by then. For now I am just working my way through the days and keeping my head above water.
