Homeless Cat -- Now Spotacus' Legacy
On 18 Dec, a very large cat showed up at our house. It was late and cold, and he looked in the door and made it clear he wanted inside. Well, since we have two cats already and he was a stranger, we...

Moving day today. WLToo is waiting at Mom's apartment for the movers. In a bit, I'll drive Mom directly to Sister's house, where she can supervise the movers as they place her furniture. She'll overnight here once more, have her teledoc appointment in the morning, and then we'll finish moving all her stuff from here.
Not done then, though. We'll still help Sister and Mom unpack, so they can decide what to keep of whose stuff, what to donate or sell, what to give to family, etc. Since it's the first time in decades Sister has everything she owns in one location, it's a lot of stuff to go through, and it all needs unpacking so they can see it -- but that will be their issue. We have our own stuff to go through and discard...
I see a big winter project, since it's certainly too bloody hot to do it in the summer/fall around here.
Still, today is a beautiful day so far. Won't be triple digits until about 1600. The swimming pool will feel absolutely perfect about 1900.
Czarny's enjoying being outside without us coming to get him. Has another hour before he has to come inside, when Mom and I head out. The birds are concentrating on fattening up for the migration, so they're leaving Czarny alone now.
I saw one of the foxes stroll through the bushes below the deck this morning -- well, I saw its tail disappearing into the bushes.
My CPAP usage started Monday night. Got credit for over 7 hours usage that night and over 8 last night, so I guess all is well there. Couple of issues: the mask has its vents on top, where the air blows directly into my eyes -- a sleep mask stops the air from actually reaching my eyes, but it's not an ideal situation. Other issue is the mask pushes my cheeks into my teeth and I bit the inside of my mouth the first night. I will give the mask a full week before I call them and ask for a different kind of mask, just to be sure I made all the right adjustments and the cheek issue is/was a one-time thing (didn't notice an issue there this morning when I woke up). Won't be joining the CPAP hours competition, though. They have different mask styles, which seem to be an issue for their total hours credits. My prescription is for a full face mask; theirs are nasal pillow thingies, less than a full face mask.
One thing I have noticed is I'm not waking up with a back ache the last few days. Don't know if the CPAP is contributing to deeper sleep and better muscle rest, or if it's just happening because we're so tired after packing/moving Mom's stuff. Or both. We'll find out soon enough.
I see a cat face in the window... Later, y'all.
