Clouds at sunrise
Tuesday I was up at 5:30AM and starting looking for old photos so I could make a post. My brother and I had gotten Larry 2 dinners and a new toy for his birthday. He would be turning 10 or 56 cat years.
He still had to wait until the 6AM breakfast time, but he scoured the plate clean and even hunted for crumbs. If you look at the last photo you’ll see looking for crumbs doesn’t usually happen.

I spent the morning getting everything ready for my helper to do errands at 9:30AM when he arrived. I had to get the broken glass out of the frame. I was putting it in a doubled grocery sack, but one piece was too big. So I broke it. It shattered and made a mess I had to clean up. He arrived before I was done getting everything ready. I finally sent him off.
While the town hall cellar floor is being replaced, I have to bring my part of the exercise equipment home, and back and forth until the job is done. So I put it all in a cloth bag.
Well, I guess because a birthday boy can do no wrong, he was into everything. I caught him getting into the bag.
I got a shower, cleaned the kitchen, and finished the laundry and sat down.
One of my VERY favorite YouTube sites is this one. I’ve watched every one, sometimes a few times. But she had some legal issues a few years back and hadn’t posted any videos in a long time. I checked back every so often and on Tuesday I discovered she’d won the dispute in 2023 and put up 3 new videos in November 2024. So, of course, I had to watch them.
My helper was the one who told me about her and so I made sure he knew she was back when he returned. He’d gotten back just a little while before he had to go. We got the shopping put away and I ate some lunch.
He’d picked me up smoked white fish which he said was really good. I’d never had it. He said you mix it with cream cheese, so I had him make it for me, and he was right!
I’d had my helper pick up 1 more special meal for Larry, The pouches are only 3 oz and he’s used to 5.5 oz that he doesn’t eat, so he said he was starving. He doesn’t get lunch normally, but he was glad of more rabbit!
One of the errands my helper friend had done was get new UV protective glass for the frame for the vintage Christmas card collage. Now I had glass, I could cut the tiny mats on the sides so they were (mostly) hidden from the front. It took quite a while.
I, of course, was closely supervised in this job.
I got brown paper firmly taped to the back and the wire and eye screws in and it was done.
Time to watch movies and Larry was in his favorite place for that.
Every evening sometime around 4:30 – 5PM, Larry starts the starving, dying cat routine. Tuesday night was no exception. He got fed at 6PM like always.
Supper was duck and again he polished the plate.
I had supper, watched another movie, and got the masonry heater going.
My son had forgotten to give Larry his new toy before he left for work, so my brother and I played with him.
I was in bed by 8:30PM.
On Wednesday I have exercise class and I’m hoping to resume work on the estate stuff. I haven’t touched it in weeks. It’s to be a cold sunny day.
