Sunday morning
Sunday morning and I find myself up before dawn. My little foster kitten is hungry. I get up despite wanting a few more zzzzs. The kitchen is empty and I am able to quickly start myself a coffee. Dad must be napping. There is evidence of him having been awake already:
- fresh canned food for the cats
- light is left on under cupboards
- Radio is blasting Zoomer Radio
- the counters have sugar, coffee and juice spilled on them (not cleaned up)
- there are a variety of recyclables left on the stove top, namely Pepsi cans and a plastic clamshell that once had powdered doughnuts in it
- His dirty ashtray is beside the recyclables
I wipe down the counters, put the recycling in the bin, fill water bottles and reservoirs with filtered water. With my coffee ready, off to plan my day:
- Pick up Walmart order I placed Saturday, unload and organize things. The small tuna sized cans of cat food need to be organized just so in a handled cardboard box. The large soup sized cans need to be organized just so, sandwiched between two 12 can flats and then put down in a particular spot. Ditto cat treats and all of dad’s supplies. He gets quite cranky if things aren’t exactly the way he likes.
- Mom gets up partway through the grocery unload and sort. We open the packages of chicken breasts, wrap each one in plastic wrap, then into a ziploc for freezing.
- Refresh litter boxes – we ran out of litter last week, so the depth of litter is less than an inch. (Which, FYI. most cats hate…I have been getting the evil eye from some of the cats because of it.
- 40 minute yoga with Adrienne Detox and Reset https://youtu.be/vbgxIwQoyN4?si=0BwytUdiofWspF1j Her videos are terrific for me and I love Benji
- Watch a video by Mel Robbins about making someone obsessed with you which was perfect for today as it turns out.
Sunday afternoon
Sunday afternoon and I find myself alone when I am supposed to be spending time with SB. He has been very incommunicative since Tuesday last week. He had briefly forewarned me that the family was having a reunion, and that he would not be available for chat for the week. I had not thought this would extend into our “date time.” Certainly he would have been clear about this after the email I sent and talk we had about respect.
