today, i worked quite hard on finishing the wonderful, escape proof, yard for my cats..at the new house. it was very difficult work and my back hurt like crazy. but the joy that i have in enabling the cats to be outside, safely, overrode any pain and frustration that i had. it kept me occupied for most of the afternoon. my son in law helped by trimming and mowing and then he put down granules for ticks.....we kicked butt today!! it felt good to not think about my illness.........and it is going to be so cool for my kitties.
