Yippee-Skippy, Saturday!
Frieda decided to sleep in this morning.

This is not about a difference in political philosophy. This is about humanity over cruelty.

Cats. Cats. And More Cats.
In a prior post Boud had asked if the cats also got on the kitchen table. It's rare, but the Jiglet decided she wanted to be featured and found the kitchen table to be a perfect staging spot.

Living in the Tropics and Cats

I thought I'd check in. I'm afraid not much has gone on in my world lately, as if that's a change. The PT gave me a new exercise she thinks I'm now ready for. Who would think using your abdominals while elevating your shoulders as you walk would be exhausting. Not me. Yes, it is exhausting. She said, which I know to be true, that people who slump forward think pulling the shoulders back is what works. It's not, obviously, because I've been trying that for years and yet here I am. Slumpy old lady. It seems I must retrain my muscles to allow my spine to straighten, which means I must pull up from the pelvis, while engaging my abs, while raising my shoulders. Say this three times fast. It's exhausting and somewhat painful. It works. When I look in the mirror I'm still somewhat forward but there is a definite difference. It does mean every time I walk not only do I need to engage all those parts, I must also engage my brain, as this is no longer muscle memory. Slumping is. This got long.
Different subject. Gatto alerted me to this unusual caterpillar on the door screen. It's new to me. It seems predators would easily spot such a bright colored fellow.
We had a nice light rain this morning so I don't need to water the plants. I've been looking for the motivation button but still haven't found it. If anyone has a clue where it's kept, let me know.

Frieda taking a nap next to poppy. Can you tell Mark hangs onto things way too long? Like a t-shirt from 1995. A paragon of fashion.
Yesterday was the first time in a while I was able to get outside and yesterday was too humid for my liking. I got most of the yard mowed and plan to finish this afternoon. It's Monday, so it's also laundry day. We have a bit over an acre of yard and I cannot go very fast while mowing, so it takes hours. Like around five hours to mow. Yep, it's a wild and crazy life here on the farm.
