Time to call the cats

I am very unmotivated lately. Putting a lot of mental effort into online car shopping. Bob had two appointments this week. I was going to meet Jane for lunch, but her car would not start. I ended up treating myself to two thrift shops. Then I went to see Zogie at his garden center. Zogie had offered me some of what he cleaned out of his fish ponds, (heavy dirt with rocks in it) to put in a spot that keeps sinking in my yard. I put good soil on top of that. I have filled it with top soil in the past. It is a place where someone had taken a tree out. Over the years the roots underground have rotted and the spot keeps sinking. It is easy to trip if you step in it. I visited with Zogie for a bit and with a couple of other locals. I needed the visit. I am feeling very isolated here.Big pity party. The cats are outside and it is past time for them to have their canned food for the evening.

I suppose it is hard getting used to being alone but eventually it'll get easier. I've been alone most of my adult life so I'm used to it.

I do know two people who bought good used cars through Carvanna. That might possibly be an option for you. I don’t know the specifics as to how it all works out, but the two people I know were pleased with their cars. I am sorry you feel isolated. That feeling hits here at times, too.

I wish you lived near more people, at least some of your family.

It is always nice to live with relatives nearby

I'm glad you were able to get out and have a bit of company for a while. The ground has sunk a bit where we took the hedge out but I was able to get some compost from my BIL and have built the area up a bit.

Sorry you're feeling so isolated, that really is a hard feeling. Good that you got out and visited with Zogie and the locals, sounds like you needed it. Hope the car shopping gets easier soon, and give those cats some extra love tonight.

It is good that you got out of the house today.
