Yesterday I got kidnapped by Dicea and I joined her for most of her work day of running deliveries. Gave us our "road trip" time and hang out time at the same time.

Last night I didn't really get much done around the house. I got my small 4 ft xmas tree up out in the florida room. Tzar is so much happier to have it. He curls up under it, happy as a clam and has stopped yelling at me all the time. Maybe by the end of the weekend I'll start putting ornaments up on both trees.

Also last night Grimm hit my last nerve. He was being a total bite and acting up once we went to bed. Thinking he wanted to eat or drink I put him down on the floor and expected him to go then come back and ask to come back up to bed. No, he started really barking at me and running around. Then he hightailed it downstairs and refused to behave. So last night he spent the night in his pen downstairs in the florida room rather than in bed.

Since I blew yesterday off I want to try to get a lot done today. I have to go grocery shopping.
I want to get all the clean laundry out of the family room and clean the room. I hope to get the last of the xmas decoration bins out of the living room. This weekend I can then bring the bins of the decorations for the family room out of the basement (which I haven't been able to do since the room isn't clean).

Wonder if we are going to do a family dinner tonight. We haven't had one since before Thanksgiving.

So anyway, that's the game plan for the day. But you know what they say - tactics go out the window as soon as the first battle is engaged.

Oh glorious and beautiful Baast

This humble human servant of your feline children commonly called Alexandra, Tzar and Talia come to you to ask a favor.

I understand the basic biology of your children. I understand the need for them to create hairballs.

But may I ask, if only for the brief time of the winter holidays and times of longest nights... could you guide them to present me with the hairballs on the linoleum rather than the shag carpets that I had just vacuumed and cleaned?

I thank you.

All I have left to do as far as decorations is the decorating the trees, getting the Santa's workshop out of the guest room and back down to the family room (which I need a second set of hands to do) and bring the christmas plates up.

Family room is clean.

before next weekend I will clean the florida room (since that's the puppy's room and a second guest room) and the second floor.

When I went grocery shopping I got stuff for cookies. I may devote a day next week to baking so that there are xmas cookies here when the guests come for the event next weekend.

All in all I"m happy with the progress I made on the house this week.

With the rooms actually clean it makes it easier to keep them that way.
