susandennisI think it was because of the lack of food, that I ate all day yesterday. Or I feel like I did. I polished off stuff out of the freezer and stuff out of the fridge and more. There wasn't much there to start with and now, there is way less.
It is very weird to open up the freezer and see everything. I mean I don't have to open a drawer or move anything to take complete inventory.
I think I'll make a run to Thriftway (a semi fancy market). They have good cooked meals and some cookies that I'd like to stock up on.
The litter robot situation is now all settled in. They are using it consistently. The way it works is that they go in and pee or poop and leave and then 15 minutes later, it rotates and drops any clumps. The 15 minute wait is to give the pee time to clump. But, in my case it's in hopes that Julio will be long gone by the time it rotates. He loves the rotates. The minute it starts, he gets back in to investigate. This stops the rotation. It then starts back up after he's out... in 30 seconds. So he gets back in. Last week, it would take sometimes an hour to do a whole cycle but now he's not quite as vigilant and sometimes doesn't get back in at all.
The beauty is, however, that 1. the litter stays in the machine instead of on my floor and in my bed. and 2. NO sifting through poop and pee to remove the clumps every day. Right now, the app says the collection tray is 30% full. It falls into a bag which, when full or fuller, I'll pull out and toss and replace. Soooooooooo nice.
I was wrong about the Amazon 6% no rush shipping reward being gone. It popped up again this morning. Their algorithms are so complex.
All of the essentials for the new apartment have been selected and purchased. The sofa arrives on moving day - Oct 31. The dresser and dining chairs come the next day. We are using chunky white shelving in several places like the living room TV. That's all coming from IKEA and should be in its flat boxes in my unit by move in day. My game plan now is to look into hiring Timber Ridge maintenance peops to assemble them as well as the sewing cabinet. Also hang the ironing board on the wall.
I made a giant list last night of all the various parts and pieces and when they are coming from where and if/how they were paid for and how much. I have written checks for stuff that have not yet been cashed and have credit card charges for others and have not yet been invoiced for some. It's kind of a massive juggling act at this point.
I decided to hold off on counter stools for now. I am going to move in and then see if I even want them. I remembered that I bought some for this kitchen which has a long peninsula. I never used them and finally after years of tripping over them, I gave them to goodwill. It would be great to avoid the clutter.
There are other things like a full length mirror and closet hooks that I know I want but want to live there for a bit and decide what kind and where.
My new apartment is nestled on the side of a mini mountain. Best I can tell, the elevation is about 1,000-1,200 feet. Last night's weather forecaster said that this week there could be snow down that far!! SNOW!! This is something I had not considered. I will be able to watch the snow and stay snug as a bug in a rug complete with not even having to step outside to get meals. This could be very very good.

Date: 2023-10-24 01:33 am (UTC)I am glad to hear the are using the litter robot, and that you are liking it so far too. I'd been waiting for your verdict. *lol*
Now time for me to save up for the beast too, so I can finally stop having to shovel 4x🐈💩 twice a day. 😄

The best thing is to use your regular litter. Fill it and leave it off for the first day so they can explore. Then turn it on and let 'em play. It really is amazing not to have to shovel the shit.
