On the up side, my "s" works again. On the down side, the Boxcar Cats are about to be homeless.

It's been one of those days where nothing gets accomplished the first time.  It's taken six phone calls to doctor and pharmacist and I still don't have the six-month prescription for my asthma meds to replace the prescription slip that was in my stolen purse.  I've got one month's worth, meaning I have to go back in to the doctor in four weeks, which isn't necessary, since he gave me six repeats on the last slip.  After I raised that with his office, his receptionist left me a message that she upped the repeats with the pharmacy, but by the end of the day when I picked up my first month's worth, the pharmacy told me they didn't get any such instruction.  Come on!

I got new spare keys made for my new apartment lock.  They don't work.  So that's a second trip to the hardware store.  Everything has to be done or called, or visited multiple times to get it actually done and crossed off my list.  It's thoroughly wearing.

Now for the Boxcar Cats.

Toronto is redeveloping large chunks of its waterfront.  Including the area the boxcars are in.  Starting this year.  Everything in this particular area is going to be torn down to make way for new public access areas, parks, a beach, and new buildings in various places.  I happened to notice a flyer for a community association meeting in time to go to it tonight and listen to a presentation made by a city bureaucrat about the redevelopment in general.  I got his contact information and will speak/write to him with my specific concerns about the cats and ask for a more specific timeline as to when their little complex of boxcars (which is a business establishment) is going.  Because we should move the cats, if we can.

The one suggestion I've heard, just talking casually to one friend about moving one cat (Oreo) from his empty building, which is not going to be torn down, but entirely renovated inside, is the idea of finding a stable that doesn't mind having an extra cat.  Move the cat there, then the stable owner has to keep them shut inside for a week so they acclimate to their new home base, then they can start going outside again.  But the Boxcar Cats, though fully spayed and neutered is still seven adult feral cats to find a suitable place for.  It's a daunting thought, and we're not going to have a lot of time.
