Sometimes it's hard to pull myself away, but I make it work. And the trash bin - one on top and a larger one below. The upper one helps me keep from dropping little pieces of wire on the floor when I miss the big one.

The shots seem to help her feel better for a few weeks, so we're just trying to come to terms with it now and will face the hard truth very soon. <br />As for the timers, I'm so prone to just get drawn into something that I can't pull myself away. The timers totally help pull me from that daze.<br />CraftyHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10341033878002504601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-43391232268659810682016-10-06T16:22:41.322-05:002016-10-06T16:22:41.322-05:00Poor kitty!
