Real progress! Our tabby named Sunday and our black cat named Peck are eating together, side by side. Not long ago this would have been impossible. There would have been hissing and fighting. But Sunday has come a long way in accepting Peck and the other 3 little foundlings into her life.
Apparently "Shake 'n Bake" no longer comes with a shaker bag, and you are supposed to just toss your chicken or pork in a bowl with the mix now... I'm not even sure what's real anymore.

In 2020 I thought it would be a good idea to get home landline service again after not having it for years. Mostly to have in case of emergencies - those old copper phone lines still work even if the power goes out.
I cancelled it because we never use it, there has been terrible background noise on it since December, and the phone company technician who came out to fix it said it’s a problem further up the line that was out of the control of the company, and that all he could do was notify the responsible party of the problem. It hasn’t been fixed yet. And the technician was very up front with me and said nobody is investing in maintaining the old copper phone infrastructure anymore and it’s falling into disrepair.
So I figured I’d keep the $70/month and put it towards something else.
I’ll keep one of the corded phones as decor for my stream, though.

Progress has been made. I push myself ahead before the ADHD fuel runs out and I abandon this jumper to start something new. I could really learn to like this piece!
