Gettin' a Few Things Done

So my little sick kitty is back to her old self now. Whew! I hate it when they don't feel well or they get hurt. I also love the way she wants to spend more time with us now that she feels better because we spent so much time with her taking care of her when she was sick.
I was so tired this afternoon that it was hard to focus It seems that night time is when I have the most energy. So I made the most of it tonight. I painted in the kitchen where the wall needed to be touched up. I got my plastic tarps put away that were sitting in a heap in the garage. And I got the satellite TV cable run through the walls between Cynthia's office, Jenna's bedroom and my office. Boy was that a pain! I thought it would be a quick job, but nooooo. I have to say though, it's nice not to have the cable running down the hallway anymore ;-)
Yesterday I put up my sword rack, rehung my grandfather's banjo and got all but one of my pictures hung back up in the office. It's become a nice cozy little den. Still need to get all my books back on the bookshelf. That'll be a job for tomorrow night or Saturday though.
I finished another book today. I bought a CD from someone off Ebay of 105 top classic books for the Kindle. I've decided that I want to read all of them before I buy another book. So far I've read Uncle Tom's Cabin and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Many of these I read in high school or college, but it's been so long that I'm actually looking forward to reading them again just for pleasure ;-) Next up is Through the Looking Glass. I haven't read that since I was a kid. Looking forward to it. ;-)

Sick Kitty

While I did go to the beach again yesterday to photograph, read, and spend time with my honey [:-)], I've spent most of the past two days worried sick about my little kitty, Megan. Usually she's very active, playful and a little beggar. But yesterday and today she was hiding out, not eating, not drinking, and not letting any of us get near her. I knew she had to go to the vet, but I couldn't catch her and I didn't want to terrorize her. I finally got her from the neighbor's back yard this afternoon and got her to the vet. She had a 105 deg temp and was dehydrated. $422 later (yikes!!) she was hydrated, pilled, injected, and on her way home. We stayed in my office with her tonight watching TV and she's now nearly back to her old self. Let's hope her checkup tomorrow morning confirms that. Whew!
As for the office, it's back to being functional and quite warm and cozy, even without the decorations up yet or power cords organized and hidden. Over the week I expect I'll have it exactly to my liking. Yay! I even managed to build a small monitor stand and a laptop cooler and stain them both cherry to match the other items in my office. Now my monitor is at the right height, my laptop is clean and it's stopped overheating! I must say, I'm quite proud of myself :-)
