Sunday catching up

The floor is done. It looks spectacular, but I cannot post any photos because all the camera batteries are dead and I can't find the recharger!! So you will just have to trust me. The dog is not altogether sure about the whole thing; she finds hardwood a bit slippery for her tastes.

We have been reorganizing and rearranging our various tzotchkes. The good thing about doing major work around the house is that you are forced to take everything down. It is significantly easier to decide not to put something back than it is to remove it in the first place. I don't know why this is true, but it is. So, our life is looking less cluttered than before. Well, except maybe for the basement, which is the catch basin for all the old stuff. Still, I have put a lot of things in boxes for future trips to Goodwill. And nearly all the dust is gone.

One of the things I finally put in boxes are the prizes for Annika and Min. I am still waiting on Bradi for her address. I suspect she is leery, because she thinks I might try and steal Rocco from her. Don't worry! If I were to kidnap him, I would have to kidnap you too! Along with your piano. How else are we going to have showtune marathons? Anyway, the candles and bath salts will be shipped tomorrow, so expect them sometime around the New Year.

Now I better go look again for my recharger.
