Very cute, well done.

Done with talking! Take food with you when you leave. If you have pity on them, you can leave them some cat treats, but I wouldn’t do that if they’re not listening at all (the roommate.)

I know it’s hard but try hard not to worry about things that haven’t happened yet!! that’s how I get through. Of course I worry about my babies and my old age, but who knows … right?!

All my life

I have made one batch, I was amazed at how simple the process was. I mean, I used to pan in my oven with a towel and in the morning it was like Christmas morning. It was like a miracle.
But I have to admit if there was a way I didn’t have to heat the milk and then wait an hour and a half or so for it to cool to the right temperature I would’ve been 100% interested in that process. Thanks for the reply so I know for sure.

I actually have admitted apologized and tried to be forgiven for my mental health crisis in my 40s, but now I’m near 70 and you’ve got to forgive yourself. You’ve got to get over the hurt your pain their pain you wanna have a relationship with your family and it doesn’t work out. Don’t dread one day. Don’t dread the season. Just try to focus on what you’re doing. I tried to enjoy the seasonal weather. I’m thankful I don’t do all that damn shopping and expense and I just take care of myself. I try to listen to something special that day. I try to eat something special that day and that’s good enough for me. I try to remember the good Christmases of long ago. That’s what memories are for, but I don’t dread the next Christmas. I just deal with the life. I play with my pets and try to get a good walk in here and there. Good luck to you.

But it has to be warm deferment right you can’t not heat it

I totally agree a genetics look at your family. Do they have strokes? Do they have heart attacks? Do they have circulation problems? That’s what you’re up against whatever those problems are. That’s what you’re gonna get hit with genetically… my family lives a long time into their 80’s, my father died early stroke. My brother died early stroke high blood pressure is our issue.

I’m on three blood pressure meds I walk 3 miles a day I’m active but no matter what I do. My blood pressure is always a problem and I always have to be afraid of that stroke.

My neighbor‘s mother died before 60 her mother before her died before 60 they have a sister who is now around 60 but she’s very disabled. They smoke next-door and they shouldn’t because of early death and emphysema in the family.

You can beat your genetics, but you have to be made aware of what’s going on
I also just found out I have hemochromatosis . It’s an Irish heritage, genetic iron overload disease.

And yes, I love to vape so in order to increase my circulation I try to focus on that and make sure that I try hard to get moving every day

I agree I looked at that damn menu for over an hour yesterday. I really wanted those tacos. I was craving those tacos. I needed those tacos. It’s like an old friend from my youth now that I’m on Social Security it’s really hard to afford and they’re so damn disgusting that I need them about once a month. Grabbing some fast food used to be fun now it’s agonizing prices are too much.

Agree, time to hold steady. You are a shining light to these animals. I praise your efforts!!

Poor thing I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m so sorry you’re having a bad day. Remember, it’s just a bad day. Some days are easier some days are harder. Try to step back. Give yourself some grace and there’s nothing wrong with a good cry. I hope you find peace.

. Sometimes I think I need to purchase something to “fix” the problem. No money for freezer I heard, so maybe sort through your meal plan and next months money, shopping will be more efficient. There’s lots of meals with can goods you can whip together. Good luck to you, if it helps you are not alone.🙂

I would designate two special spots one for the older lady one for the youngster have that where their bowl is. And let’s not forget the cats are vertical. They can jump up to the top of a dresser to get a bowl of food.. I have a neighbor whose dog is constantly eating the cat food. She put the cat food on a dresser and her son‘s room and the dog has his food on the floor in the kitchen. .

Color me impressed. It’s beautiful!

I started with a Brother…did all I needed it to do. Lasted 10 years…

What’s with middle of night oil frying!! Be careful

Woken up in a sea of pistaschio shells….those hurt…

I imagine the next morning clean up brings you back to reality. I am more grab the whole ice cream container with spoon and settle in. (Less mess)

Simple regular breakfast of oatmeal works for me. I can sleep anytime anywhere, I guess I will count my blessings. I hope you find solutions!

Get books, lumber, stack up as legs..Put long piece of lumber or two to set fabric bags on. Plastic or catch for run off

Where do you live?

I just wanted to make sure you have enough pans. The rule is one more than the number of cats. So many people don’t know…
I have two cats, so I have three pans.

I put out one whole can in morning with dry food on side with water per cat. Some only like one or the other. Watch and see how much they eat, then cover and frig wet food leftovers

Overflowing litter box in kitchen

I’ll take two please
