Well, I had plans for today.
Instead, I have a completely terrified orange tabby hiding in a carrier in my basement room. Has a collar, no id. Anna noticed him yesterday- he'd run from behind her ac to my basement window when she'd go out on her back area. Who knows how long he's been out there.
Clearly scared, I was able to coax him in through the open window and carried him to the room. Soon as he discovered the carrier, he was in it. No sign of interest in food or water, but the poor thing is clearly scared out of his mind. Definitely acts like a cat who did not mean to be outside.

Oh my fucking god, really? I'll have to wait until Tue or Weds to get him to the vet to check for disease/microchip. Unless an owner turns up. If one doesn't....hey lisah, want a cat???
Poor kitty. I hope the owner finds you!
Work time--depends on how much I'm traveling, really. I have to bill 40 hours a week (though that can include stuff like training or administrative stuff, not just client-billable). Basically, for each visit I do I have to write a report (and do expenses and stuff). And if I'm really busy, then I usually bill plenty more than 40 hours just between time at the sites and travel, and so I'll work however many hours I need to write the reports and it's no big. Sometimes I'll bill 13 hours Monday, 8 hours Tuesday, 15 hours Wednesday, 6 hours Thursday and 8 Friday. As long as I'm getting the work done and totaling 40 or more, they don't mind. But my reports are due at a certain time after I do the visit, so sometimes I have to work extra hours on a day I'd already worked enough, to make sure it gets in on time. ...in this case I had a headache Friday and didn't get shit done, and had fucked around online on Thursday, so...yeah. Probably if I actually do work today, I'll just pretend I did it Friday and bill the hours to that.

Poor kitty! Somehow they find you, though...
(My foster kittens are still SO CUTE. But stinky)
Also, breakup is...probably a good thing in the long run, and good in that I now have lots of me time. But bad in that I'd RATHER have lots of good "US" time...except lately it wasn't good us time, so...yeah.
I'm sorry, meara. Breakups are no fun even when they are right.
Maybe I will listen to music while I mow the lawn! Probably not, though, I've got podcasts piled up.
And I killed the lawn mower. That's not good.
I couldn't watch that because I was afraid the cat would kill that man.

Yeah, I hear that. Sorry.
Probably not, though, I've got podcasts piled up.
Podcasts are why I stopped listening to music regularly! Also, my lack of long commute.
Yeah, I've got both those things going on. And now I'm just out of the habit. I was listening to music while I was running, and that reminded me that I liked listening to music, but I'm out of the habit of running right now, too.
I think I'm going to take this opportunity of my electric mower crapping out on me to buy a human-powered push mower. Does anyone have any experience and/or opinions on brands or whatever? I"m leaning towards [link] on the theory that when I have time and inclination to mow the lawn is in the early morning...
