I'm so cool in the cool...

It's warm out there - warm for me but oh oh oh so much cooler today than this past week. Amazing and marvelous an invigorating.

After swim this morning I jetted likety split through McDonald's drive through (sausage biscuit and coffee) and then over to the library. My plan was to ask about helping out at the English as a Second Language Talk Time. There were lots of people there early so I went on it to find the head person.

She assured me that drop in help was in no way acceptable. She said I had to go to the website and download the PDF and apply to be accepted into the library volunteer program. "Then, if you are accepted to you can ask to volunteer for Talk Time and you will be evaluated to see if you are a match. But, we don't need any Talk Time volunteers now."

All righty then. I went to the grocery store.

I had a short list. Too long to remember which is why I put it into Catch.Com on my phone. But, then, in the store, no phone in my pockets. I figured it was in the car which was about 3 blocks away. I pulled my Nexus7 tablet out of my purse in hopes that it had done it's syncing before I left the house. Before I could even turn it on, my purse rang. Ok so phone not in car!

I got my goodies and then decided to go find that spiffy kitty litter that catmomma has me trying. I ordered some but it's on a slow boat and won't be here until a week from Monday. The good pet food shop had it in all flavors and sizes so I snagged me a bag. I got the scented and I'm thinking that might have not been too bright but we'll see.

Once home, I organized stuff, put the groceries away, fed the cats, ran the dishwasher and took down a load of recycle and garbage. I love cool air - I can get shit done when it's not hot!!

But now it's time to chill.

Perhaps the leader of the volunteers could use some brush-up in how to be n nice to people who are VOLUNTEERING.

well, she has an excellent command of Clear communications. i sure got the message!

the thing about volunteers ...

[henare.livejournal.com]

is that the library is still liable for them, so there's a form and possibly a background check. i'm finding it difficult to get my internship lined up and i'm a library master's student! sadly, many places that take volunteers now do this ...

yeah my guys didn't like the scented stuff, actually neither did I since it was lavender. I buy the stuff in the red bag which is for "multi cat" use. I notice my local stores don't even carry the scented stuff anymore.

BUT... seattlejo says the scented has one great advantage... her cats don't eat it!! Actually once it escaped from the bag, the scent was not nearly as strong and it is fine.

Mainly, however, THANK YOU!! I would have never tried this stuff had you not mentioned it. And I love it! It's wonderful. Even mixed with the old as it is now, it's still so much better.

Thank you, thank you!

I think the scented stuff bothered ME more than the cats. I am allergic to lavender :)

Glad to hear your cats are getting accustomed to it. It really is a better choice for many reasons.

none of my guys have tried eating it. I have however had kittens eat the old school clumping stuff which can be very dangerous. Like concrete in their little guts.
