I'm as ready as I'll ever be for the work to start this morning. The dogs are in the back yard (it rained last night and I've been washing the den floor. When they come back in I'll have to mop up behind them.) I've moved objects in the way and need to possibly move some more pots outside, but I'm not going to until it becomes clear that it's necessary.

This week I'm feeding a friend's cats and one of them does a vanishing act - and if he closes his eyes that little black cat is pretty much invisible. No such issues around feeding my dogs. :) I raced up to feed them this morning and parked out front so I can go give them more proper attention at the midday meal (when meds are given, otherwise lunch for cats isn't necessary.)

I hear a truck outside.
