    Welcome home! Hope you catch up on rest soon! Are you a little closer to work now?

    Your kitties are amazing. As long as Mom is there, all is well in their world!

    Congratulations on your new home - I'm so glad the kitties have already settled in, but with mommy there and familiar furniture it's all good.

    Snuggle up with them and get some rest.

    Thank you, everybody!
    The distance to work is the same, I only moved 2.5 miles.
    I'm slowly catching up on sleep. The cats, of course, are caught up already. I, too, think that all their beds and toys with "their" smell had a lot to do with them settling in so fast.

    I mowed my lawn today, and it started snowing! How's that for spring?

    My first challenge as a homeowner: fix a running toilet!
    The flapper wasn't closing properly, so the water just kept running. I shortened the chain, and that helped every other flush. Then I noticed that the lever was wiggly, so it jerked the flapper out of position. I tightened the lever, and voila, it's fixed.
    I don't mean to brag about it, but it felt great that I didn't have to spend any money on the repair.
    Another thing I wanted to address was to reduce the water usage per flush. I googled it, and one thing that's sold is a gadget that goes in the tank to displace the water, so there's less needed to fill it.
    So I thought that I could come up with something to put in the tank. I filled two empty water bottles (16 oz each) with water, and put them in the tank. It saves about 1 liter per flush!
