Okay let's start off with a disclaimer, I am tired.
Remember that as you read.
So I learned Saturday that it's perhaps not a good idea to try to pick up an exercise routine right where you left off six months ago. Yup I decided to start running again. Well after the first 1/2 mile nearly killed me, we slowed the pace on the treadmill, finished that mile, walked a mile jogged 2 more miles and finally walked one last mile. Wow it was sad. 5 miles in 60 minutes. Guess it will be a while before I make it back to 10 miles in 80 minutes. Oh well that's what I get for taking the holidays off. I still need to move the treadmill to New Richmond, but I'm thinking I'll wait until I can move my legs. I don't know which is worse, the sore muscles or the quarter sized blister on the back of my left heel. My shoe must not have been on right or something.
It made step construction interesting today though. The front steps on the corner house were rotten, so we were going to replace them. Well it turns out that a good portion of the supports for the front porch were rotten too. So today was spent jacking up the front porch and putting new supports under it. But that all went fairly smoothly and we even got the support structure up for the top of the steps. I haven't done pictures of the garage apartment for a while. It's pretty much done now, so I should probably take some photos of it before my parents find someone to wreck... er, I mean.. rent it.
Well as I said I'm tire so I'm going to try to keep this short. So on that note, I've posted some new pictures of Rocky. Just a few but you should be able to compare them to the first few photos to get an idea of how much he's grown. I have to call tomorrow and get him an appointment at the vet as he's getting to the point where he'd like a bit more room to move. Litter training has been going well. He actually took to it like a duck to water. Well sort of. We still have some issues. Like he keeps getting litter stuck to the back of his leg. I don't know if he sits in it after he pees or what, but hopefully as he gets taller and more mobile it will resolve itself. My attempts to introduce some soft kitten food have been less encouraging. He's getting teeth but still isn't really interested in the soft food yet.
Man who knew this little bugger would be so much pressure. Not so much taking care of him, but just keeping his adoring fans up to date. This is one popular kitten. I'm thinking about getting him his own phone line. if I had a long enough USB cable I could bring the webcam in so his fans could check in on him. Actually.... I have an X10 camera around here somewhere... I wonder what I have for a video capture card and software. I'll keep you all posted on that possibility. While it would be nice to be able to check on him from work, I'm a little concerned about hooking up a video camera in my bathroom.
Well off to the pre-bedtime feeding and then ... bedtime.
