This afternoon was spent getting another back treatment. And now I am walking and standing so much more comfortably! I read about a third of a book while waiting for this and that.

This morning I filled up two more kitchen-size bags with weeds etc. from the side yard. I got a couple of blackberry bushes out with minimal damage to the hands. (The heavy gloves help there.) Now that the weather is generally cooler and less humid, I should be able to make significant dents in yard work.

BadCat did not (yet) tear at the most recently repaired screens, so as a reward I let her sleep inside last night--curled up next to me. When I got up in the early AM I sort of "suggested" she go out. Cooler temperatures turn cats into heat-seeking creatures, and human bodies are excellent heat sources.

Definitely an IUD.
