November Purge

Our cats don't eat people food, and that has been a wonderful thing overall. Every once in awhile they persuade us to give them a small bit of cheeseburger or some such delicacy in their dishes, and then they turn their noses up.

They are both overweight, so it's just as well. In the past when we shared people food with our cats, they were relentless little robbers and beggars who made mealtimes less pleasant. I actually do have some pretty funny memories, like Humphrey getting up on the table and pulling a strip of bacon from the back of the BLT I was holding, and Boris jumping up and making off with a pork chop. We would just laugh and cut the food up into smaller pieces for them. We are terrible disciplinarians and it's a good thing we never had children!

The only people food my cats eat is lettuce. No idea why they chose that but they did. One is overweight and the other isn't. They eat the same amount of food but one would rather lay on the couch and the other moves around the house all day.

Decluttered my last Thanksgiving gnome. Decorated on Saturday and lived with it for a few days and didn't like how it looked where I put it. No where else it can go, so it's gone. The others got decluttered several month ago in my big decor declutter.

Decided to declutter a small stuffed turkey also. I have two and after removing one, I think it looks better.

we had a cat who loved zucchini. Sometimes he would eat practically an entire zucchini of small amount of size and his sides bulged for the next few hours

Our 18 yo cat becomes pickier by the day but still prefers any real meat or fish we are eating so we always hold back a little for him. He also likes whole wheat bread.

One of our friends had a binge eating cat who would eat so many things including bread. They had to out locks on their bread storage cabinet.

When we come home with groceries, we've learned to put away the bread immediately before Raymond gets his paws on it.

Dumped 10 or more cassette tapes...taking up space in the cabinet where my writing goes...tried out just one of them and it didn't work.Off they went. Next is home made cds!

Got rid of an electric toothbrush I had bought for my husband. He finally decided to use it and found out it was a rechargeable one, not one that uses actual batteries. We tried to figure out how to charge it and couldn't. Plus having a cord on the sink wasn't ideal as it's a small sink area. It was too late to return to Amazon so we are just letting it go.

Have three xerox boxes and two bags out on the front porch for pickup. The donation corner now has a new empty box ready for filling. LOL
