Some
people dread Mondays, but I don’t mind them! That’s not to say I want the
weekend to be over... I wouldn’t mind if the weekend lasted forever! But
provided I have a fun and restful weekend, I find that my Mondays are very
productive since I am recharged.
It
also helps that I don’t have piano lessons or rehearsals on Mondays. Mondays are the
rare day of the week where I can go home after work and not do anything. (“Not
do anything” means do a puzzle, watch Jake Tapper, and drink wine.)
Yesterday, I had a lot on my work “to do list”, but I’m proud to say that I didn’t dilly dally around. I got right to work setting up my classroom, prepared for the formal observation I have in two weeks (eek!!!), and organized all of the third graders’ recorders. It’s important I work as hard as I can at the beginning of the week because as the week goes on, my motivation deteriorates!
After work, Paul and I did something crazy we have never done
before. We drove around to three stores and bought as much cat litter
as we could! We always need cat
litter, and I’m tired of going to the store several times a month to pick it
up. Why not just go and load up like crazy?
We ended up with 345lbs!!!!
Some Facebook friends ended up recommending Amazon or Chewy.com to have litter delivered. I looked at the Chewy prices and I think I am going to sign up for auto shipments with that company after we run out of what we have now.
How long do you think 345lbs of litter will last us!?

What is the most productive day of the week for you?
Mondays, yay or nay?
Do you have anything auto shipped?
With 2 cats, how long does a container of cat liter last. I am ufamiliar on how it is even used since I never had a cat. Do you pour some in the box every day?
ReplyDeleteWe have Baylee's pills autoshipped.
Good question. Paul is in charge of litter but I think I can answer. One of those 20lb containers will last more than a week. 1.5-2 weeks? We have two litter boxes but they don't go in the one. My guess is that all this litter will last 8 months!?
DeleteWe do not fill the box every day but we try to scoop every day because our cats poop a lot. We prob DUMP the litter box and refill it every 1.5-2 weeks??? I am gonna keep track now.
I laughed so hard when I saw this picture on FB. I don't mind Mondays for the same reasons as you--I am typically recharged and ready. But, Tuesdays are a different story.
ReplyDeleteYeah and how about a Tuesday with a delay? I don't feel like doing ANYTHING today! What a difference a day makes...
DeleteYeah I told Paul I wish we got more but we got ALL they had of our particular kind at Giant, Weis, and Wal Mart.
ReplyDeleteOne 20lb container lasts me maybe 2 weeks. I clean the boxes each week so it'll go out with the trash pickup. Allie loves her litter. I consider it the second most important purchase, behind her food.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is important for cats to like their litter!
DeleteI hope this lasts you a long time!!!!
ReplyDeleteI change Cecil's litter cartridge once per month. Each cartridge costs about $15 but I don't think that's too bad. I would honestly pay more for the convenience of only having to change the box once per month, it's definitely one of my least favorite chores. When I was growing up my mom always cleaned the litter boxes so it was quite a shock to my system when I started having to clean them myself lol!
$15 a month is not bad at all. I'm sure you spend that on cat little.
DeleteOh my, that's a lot of cat litter! How much do you go through in a week?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I have currently on auto-shipment is my collagen peptides (because you get a discount on Amazon), but I can see ho it's convenient for a lot of things!
I don't mind Mondays much, but I am always sad to see the weekend go.
I'm not sure how much we go through! Paul takes care of the litter. What we bought will last us MONTHS though... like 8 months!?
DeleteWhen we had foster kittens we used the non-clumbing litter. That actually wasn't that bad. There wasn't a lot of dust, which I liked. Otherwise, I just go buy huge containers when we run out for our cats. It's not the most convenient because they are hard to lift, but oh well, I make Alan do it. hahaha!
ReplyDeleteWe used to use the non clumping but for some reason Paul wants to change. He's in charge of that so I don't argue. Looks like you are in the same boat, your man does the litter!!! :)
