cattitude is home

After being in Albany and Niskayuna for a week and a half, cattitude got home yesterday, feeling quite worn out, and very glad to see me, adrian_turtle, and our cats.

He was visiting his father in the skilled nursing facility most days, and also doing things at his father's house as prep for his father to move to an assisted living apartment in Lowell, Mass. On Saturday, he helped his sister and her husband load some of their father's stuff into a rented truck, and yesterday he and his brother-in-law moved stuff from the truck into his dad's new place.

He is home now, and doing very little today, though he was feeling rested enough for a short walk with me and Adrian to look for early-spring flowers. When the vet's office called to say we would need to reschedule our cats' appointments from Wednesday afternoon, I was happy to move it to the following day.

ETA: Cattitude's sister texted about an hour ago to say that their father is moved into the new place, and we all relaxed a little more.

birdfeeder etc.

I saw sparrows early in the afternoon, and waited until they flew away to refill the feeder. Went out for a short walk, and my partner saw a robin across the street, looking like he was posing to be looked at (we obliged).

He also told me that the towhee that sometimes pecks at the wall under our window, sounding a bit like a woodpecker, was back.

No turkeys today.
