Since I last wrote, I have put a fair amount of energy into the project. Probably more than I have in quite some time. Granted, I can make no claim that any ONE room has been completed, yet I have managed to remove a few items from the clutter. We also had a guest using the guest room for a few days, which made a bit challenging to do anything in the room, except perhaps take naps. Cats do love naps. Nearly as much as I do.
Yes, our guest was a cat. Not just any cat, not some stray we found sitting by the garage, which in truth we did. Beautiful little thing, too. Timid yet tame. Obviously a cat that has made some human happy. Yet, there was no room in our inn for that cat, as I was reminded, and so I told the cute feline to find the way back home. Then I went in and assured our guest he still had the room to himself. Mostly. Our youngest feline made a visit or two, or three. Or more. Sure, I allowed him in for most of the visits, but his longest visit was when he snuck in. When our guest left, our little guy had to follow and say goodbye.
So, time for me to get back to preparing our guest room for the next set of guests, who show up next month. Thankfully, I won't need to keep a food dish, water dish, and litter box in the room with them. Sadly, I doubt I'll be allowed to snuggle up and take a nap them.
