My recliner is showing its age, so decided to see what is available. a)sales guy needs to stop following me, I said I was just looking, b) the two that are possibles are both odd shades of light gray.

Swam this morning for first time since surgery. Only 16 laps, but it's a start. Sabine thinks it deserves treats. #caturday #swimming

I suppose I can wash towels tomorrow. #caturday

Sabine has taken over my lunch spot. I guess I have to actually sit at the table. #cats

By the time my back is bendable enough to put her food on the floor again, Sabine will probably find eating on the floor uncivilized. #caturday

Where's the culprit? My jalapeno plants finally had a couple little jalapenos. I go outside this morning and one is on the ground with tiny nibbles out of it. The squirrels are suspiciously absent this morning.

I would like to say I am done with my nap, but there seems to be a differing opinion. #cats

I was going to watch a movie tonight but I can't find the TV remote. It's probably between couch cushions but since I'm not supposed to bend I can't easily search. 2.5 days until freed from the back brace.

Little spider? Tiny ant? Sabine The Mighty Hunter is on the case. #caturday

One week after back surgery (fusion), only mild pain and getting up and down is easier. Luckily, my knees have been behaving. Major issues are restrictions of back brace and not being allowed to bend over. Minor is the annoying cord of the bone growth stimulator. I get to take a shower tomorrow.

Got the bone growth stimulator today. I have no problem being connected to a battery for several months if things heal faster.

City contractors are trimming branches by the utility line in my back yard. It's lunch time so they just pull out chairs and eat in my driveway. It's fine, but I am amused.

The chair in the sunroom, which is Sabine's favorite, is also the most comfortable for my back. So there will be a lot of sharing in the next few days. #caturday

Back surgery yesterday. Yesterday afternoon and early evening was mostly sleeping. Today better so far, slight fuzzy brain from drugs. Mostly just just lower back aching pain.

Spent afternoon working on taxes. Will review again tomorrow and submit then. My non-resident state taxes I owe $1. So close.

Obviously, for the first time since I moved the electric kettle to a different part of the kitchen, I tried to use the kettle and microwave at the same time. Oops. Lesson learned. Don't do that.

I have back surgery next week. I've done the important things. Trained Sabine to eat on the table. Training took two meal times. Bought long handle litter box scoop and a grabber so I can pick up her water bowl. And ordered a couple boxes of food.

I still need to do my evening stretches. #cats

I was taking a nap. While I haven't been successful in going back to sleep, Sabine is now curled up asleep on my chest. #caturday

The peaceful part of #caturday is almost over. After my swim, I have 3 shopping errands and I really, really need a haircut.

Chicken tends to be my go to protein in the vat of whatever I'm making for the week. Since chicken prices will be going up even more since they aren't dealing with the bird flu I'm researching new bean/lentil recipes. Already downloaded a few to try.

There will be baseball games in the middle of my commute this year. I just spent several minutes adding probable 5 pm traffic issues to my calendar. For April. Why are there so many baseball games?

#caturday naps. I woke up from mine a bit ago but Sabine is still slumbering.

I have an injection scheduled for my back on Tues. Checked health insurance website & the authorization is still under review. The doctor office didn't submit it until 2 days ago, appointment was made 2.5 weeks ago. It says reviews take 5-10 days. They better know that it will be approved in time.

Had a 12 hr work day monitoring today. Tomorrow will be similar. I'm thinking 9 pm looks like a good bed time.

A friend was over last night so after she left Sabine had to re-scent the couch. You know, the couch she rarely sits on except when I'm taking a nap, when at that point she's actually sitting on me . #caturday

Sabine disapproves of this cold weather, but at least she has a human heater at her service. And yes I am wearing both sweat socks and winter feets. #cats

I am skipping my swim tonight. 40 degrees is too cold. And anyway I'm already pinned down by a cat heater.

Sabine has discovered the heater by my desk. #cats

I'm trying to watch yesterday's football games and the NFL app keeps crashing every 2 minutes. Plus there's still fucking commercials in the replays.

Cranky shopper post: body wash that I've used for years no longer exists, they don't make cotton sweat socks any more, and they need to stock more cat litter (there was only one left).

Please tell me Brady only has a one year contract. I feel I've been subjected to him more than is fair.

Oh, look, it's almost the same photo as yesterday. Sabine has decided the sunroom is too cold for naps. 'bine I got things to do... #cats

Wooo! I got a prize for being the only one swimming laps tonight. I mean, sure, steam was rising from the water and it was 47 degrees out when I finished. Other swimmers are wimps.

Just returned an ebook and noticed I read 36 books of fiction last year. Not too bad. The last couple years there were a couple series that I had to take a hiatus from reading, maybe I'll find the next book in those in the near future and see if I'm interested in continuing.
