It's midweek already?

Yes it is! it's weird when I *do* have a Sunday off because I'm so used to my occasionally oddball work schedule that midweek feels like a Monday, heh. And I have tomorrow off, yay! Which means I get another 'get caught up' day! Woo!

Anyway -- a coworker of mine is going to be stopping by very soon to visit our two cats as we're hiring them for cat sitting when we take a mini-trip in early September. They've got pet-sitting experience and we get along swimmingly (and amusingly I often forget I'm basically their parents' age) and live just up the road so it won't be that much of a problem either way. This is the first time we'll be away from the cats for more than a few hours so this is going to feel a bit weird, but the fuzzbutts will be in good hands.

Meanwhile, one of our elderly neighbors passed away some weeks ago and they've been slowly emptying out the apartment. He was one of this building's longest tenants for quite a few decades, and sadly was a bit of a hoarder (super nice guy, though, and one of the first people I met when we moved in) so there's been a slowly growing pile of all kinds of things out front that will probably need more than one dumpster to get it all out and away. There's also most likely going to be a few months' worth of remodel/reno while they're at it. This added to the downstairs neighbors moving out, the southern lightwell and the garage getting some repairs, and an upcoming street drain excavation and fix, I kind of feel bad for our landlady (another super nice person, and we're on her Good List!), but it's gotta be done!

And that's what's going on here in foggy and wet Richmond District these days...
