OK, so it has not quite been a week. I officially slept in my house for the last time last Thursday. So, we’re close, anyway. Jasper moved in with us on Sunday. He is settling in quite well, although he desperately wants PB to pet him. And also to be in our bedroom.
Since Orion went to live with my parents, I’ve been feeding Jasper solely canned food, as he is no longer managing the dry food. However, I’ve never fed a cat only on canned food, and I wasn’t sure how much. I’ve been feeding him ½ can in the morning and ½ can at night. Last night, PB and I had pizza for dinner. I left my crusts sitting on my plate on the coffee table. Jaz kept standing on the edge of the coffee table sniffing the crusts. PB commented that that was out of character. Which, very. He finally stole one of the crusts and began licking it. Crazily. When I tried to take it away he stepped on it to prevent that and then dragged it away from me. Which is even more so out of character.
I have been underfeeding my cat. I feel awful. I gave him another ½ can last night. I fed him ½ can this morning and will feed him a full can tonight. We’ll see if that’s enough.
Otherwise, so far things are good. We are running out of storage space in the apartment and need to reorganize the study, but first we’re going to focus on packing up my house and getting it into storage. Good times!
So far, things are good. We’re both getting used to living with someone again. And by that I do not mean living with a partner, I mean living with an actual person. I have lived by myself for 10 years.
Other things I need to get used to include menu planning, which is not something I tended to do living alone. Either I’d just make a giant batch of something and eat off of it for days, or I would make something quick. Also, I need to start grocery shopping better, watching for sales and such. And matching up coupons to sales.
Oh, and I have to do laundry at the complex’s laundry room. And pay for it.
That’s going to be the hardest thing to get used to.
