Indeed! I believe we were collectively holding our breaths until we heard from you at the next stop in this relocation journey.

Heavy rain here today, but a two-run cat gig came up and I've been navigating roads with ponded water. Since I was out I stopped for dog food for the fussy one, and back here, had to go pick okra. Everything else can wait a day, but not okra. Another trip in an hour with a couple of stops and I'm in for the long weekend.

As I described on the Win10 thread, while trying to install the new mouse to work on the old computer I found a way to upgrade it (even offline). And out of curiosity plugged in the ethernet cable and after six years mute, it connects! The upgrade obviously repaired the dodgy setting that refused to connect after three repairs. I don't want this computer online all of the time so got a WiFi adapter that I can plug in when I want to tie into the home network (the ethernet cable was a tripping hazard). It results in two extra older computers that can't be updated to Win11. Oh, well.

Last night I purged a lot of old stuff on the sunroom potting table and adjacent rolling restaurant kitchen cart, and hope to compress the contents so I can retire the cart. Tossed dozens of old seed packets in a large IKEA sock sorter, ancient bottles of dried up stuff, and a gazillion sprinkler and hose accouterments. The cart will go into the garage. The sorter, a water transfer pump, and more are on a growing stack I'll offer first to my daughter, then to the buy nothing group.

Since I'm sure my friend will never read this, I'll note that the little kitty is failing pretty fast now. He's to the point of getting subcutaneous saline twice a week to help clear his kidneys, on lots of medications, and is now refusing most food, even with the application of an appetite stimulant. The fridge has more than a half-dozen plastic covered plates of food he didn't finish and lots of cans she tried to tempt him with. He's not in pain and he still enjoys cuddling, so no judgement here.
