Several cat sitting jobs have come up at the end of the year with one this week being sudden, after two deaths in the family with two funerals scheduled. We're sorting out the details and keys and such. I wish I could afford to just do this week's one for free as a favor, but it's a lot of gas to go there and back as often as she needs done. I have instead offered to make a batch of baked goods to send with her when she drives down to her mother's house.

I picked up a replacement switch for the master bathroom light - I've changed out two switches around the house this year. It's easier than changing fixtures and so far this has been the $3 repair that fixed the lights. I was at Lowe's and I also found smaller buckets with fitted lids and I'll swap out the 5-gallon kitchen waste bucket beside the kitchen door for one of these. Last week I set up a 4-gallon bucket and the new one is two gallons. I'll be emptying them more often into the compost pile out back but the job will be much easier.

Job this week: finish scraping the adhesive remnants off of the hall bathroom floor so if I bring in either a large piece of Linoleum or vinyl tiles I can put them down right away. And going a bit blind phone shopping. The old LG is about to give up the ghost.
