* They needed to clear the parking lot for maintenance, which means the closet Squirrel could park when he got home from work was several blocks away. Given I woke with the shakes and hip joints that were only marginally load bearing, there was zero chance of me walking that far and being able to forage. Forage with the car in the lot would have been right on the bubble as far as things I could maybe manage. Both was right out. This is why people who can technically still walk need disabled parking too. If I had a power chair, sure, I could have gone, but no way were my arms going that far up even a gentle slope in a manual and a manual is what I have. My right shoulder is still sort of fucked up. Even though the pain is at a level I can cope with on my AS meds and I have about 3/4 of my ROM back, it's still weak. Several blocks of me trying to wheel along is impossible. It sucks extra because I'm out of things like sandwich bread. Sigh.

I think something may be wrong. I've been getting I'm getting sick warning signs for several days now, so I'm mostly trying to rest up for the big push to get the apartment ready for Monday which will be eating all the weekend spoons.

In cat news, Livia is definitely peeing in the box like a good girl regardless of where I put it. Tavy is still peeing on the sofa despite me getting him to use the box last night and the night before. I can't full change and wash the box every other night. It's too much for me physically and burns resources I don't have. I can't do the having to wash everything all the time either because that's not sustainable. I'll keep chipping at it behaviorally, but this time he slipped in while I went to plate dinner and again while I was washing dishes. I can't guard the sofa 24/7. I used all the Livia money on food, vet, etc..
