Well, getting home is between 730-8 pm three nights a week, so, things are kind of down to a science.

In through the garage, kick shoes off in basement. Up to the house, say hello to the kitties sitting on the steps. Drop gym bag, briefcase, pocketbook, thermos, water bottle and lunchbag on table. Let Binx inside (neighbor lets him out 545), into the kitchen, put food in his bowl first, freshen water, then, start medications with Tex, feed Tex, look at clock, and say, crud...it is late. Finish with the cats food/freshen water, then, look in fridge for food. I clean my thermos, water bottle, lunch supplies while dinner is cooking. Stop cooking, hit the shower, come back, eat, let Binx out, and go to bed.

On the two days I am home 'early', I switch clothes immediately, tell the cats I will return, and take Binx for a stroll. Then, I start the above earlier.

It is RARE that I eat before the animals are all fed, relieved, etc.
