Weighing In 4/24/2017

236, down from yesterday's 236.75.

That's 20 pounds gone!!!!!!!!!! I've ordered new hiking boots (not cross-trainers) as my reward because my gentleman caller and I are talking about doing some hiking this summer.

We had some excitement in the 'hood last night. My friend and fellow crazy-cat-lady Moira's next-door neighbor's house burned to the ground. Fire in my neighborhood is a very scary thing; we all live in wood-frame houses of the 100-year-plus vintage, so when one goes up we worry about a neighborhood-wide conflagration. Lucky for us, so does the local fire department, which acted quickly to limit the destruction. Moira's house is reasonably intact; no one (including the fire department) quite understands how that is true.

At least one person died in that fire. I didn't know that person, but am sorry she had such a horrific death. No one deserves death by fire.

I have my friend's cats until the damage to her back door is repaired. The cops kicked the door in to make sure she got out in time, which she and the cats all did (one of these kitties owes his life to the firemen and policemen who corralled and . My cats are NOT happy about this; neither are hers, but hers are at least safe and able to express their Extreme Displeasure.
