painting and waiting

The painter is finally here to repair and paint the two upstairs rooms. I'm stuck at home as long as he's here working.

In other news, there is a very unfortunate leak in the laundry room downstairs from a broken waste water pipe.

Also, my behind is so cold today that I think I will not lose this constant chill until Spring arrives.

Sick Monster

The Monster came home with a fever of 101 yesterday. We have begun treatment with EmerginC, Umka, and lots of rest in front of the telly.

With the freezing temperatures predicted, we brought Doris inside overnight. I ran to Target after work and bought the necessary litterbox, liners, scoop, etc. Tried to get her to recognize the box and showed it to her twice. The box was untouched this morning but there was no evidence of anything else in the area we had her contained to downstairs. She was, however, eager to be outside when I fed her. I put her heated pad/bed back in the outside carrier when I left for work.
